NORTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.

Friday was the day fixed for the nomination of a candi-
date for the vacancy in the representation of the non kern
division of this county, caused by the elevation of Lord
Stanley to the house of peers. The High Sheriff opened
his court about half-past ten, when the usual formalities
being gone through, he briefly addressed the electors on
the nature of the duty they had to perform. He had no
doubt the event which called them together on the present
occasion was as little expected by them as it was by him-
self, and, although, it had the effect of dissolving the con-
nection which had existed between them and the noble
lord• who had so long and so ably represented them in
the House of Commons, yet, still there was ground for
cougratulation that, happily, the county was not deprived
of his services, but that they were transferred to a higher
tribunal, where he would still have: the power of attending
to the interests of the county of which that division formed
2° important a part. He then asked if any freeholder had
a candidate to propose, on which
Ni.r• R. ToWNLEY PARKER came forward and was
received with loud cheers. He commenced by paying a
1110 tribute of praise to the talented and able manner in
which that division of the county had been represented,
and its interests attended to by the Right Hon. Lord
Stanley. (Cheers.) In order to supply his place they
were called upon to elect another representative, and to
whom would they go? Would they choose him from
among that body of visionary theorists—from among those
visionary political speculators, two or three of whom
vs're probably there present? (" No," and " hear.'')
Would they select him from among those who dogmati-
cally advanced principles at variance with the well-being
of the county? or, would they allow him to be thrust
down their throats by the hired lecturers of the League ?
(Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") No they were a body
of free electors, and were determined to have an indepen-
dent member. They would have a representative who
would use his endeavours to reform all proved abuses,
whilst at the same time he would preserve the constitu-
tion inviolate, and maintain for the people the rights of
national liberty. Such, he was convinced, was the view
of those gentlemen who had signed the requisition to
Mr. J. Talbot Clifton—(loud cheers)—a requisition which
contained the names of eighty gentlemen as highly beloved
and esteemed as any in the land. The hon. speaker, after
noticing the report of Mr. Clifton having been brought
forward as the seat-warmer for the son of Lord Stanley,
which he strongly denied, pressed upon the electors
the claims of Mr. Clifton, whom he should not have had
the liberty of recommending to them, had he not been
convinced that he possessed talent and industry sufficient
to represent their interests in Parliament. He concluded
by nominating that gentleman. (Loud cheers.)
CHARLES SWAINSON, Esq., in seconding the nomina-
tion said, as the hon. candidate had been proposed by a
gentleman solely connected with agricultural interests, he
thought it not unbecoming in him, not being at all con-
nected that that hit-rest, but with the trade and com-
merce of the county, to come forward and second the no-
ruination. He was convinced that both agriculture and
commerce must flourish or fall together, and it was be-
cause he thought that their interests would be best ad.
vanced by a conservative government, and because Mr.
Clifton had pledged himself to support such government
that he seconded his nomination. (Cheers.)
The HIGH SHERIFF.—Has any gentleman any other
candidate to propose ?
Mr. BROOKES said he wished to call Mr. Livesey, and
called out " Is Mr. Livesey in court ?"
Mr. LivEsev.—Yes. (A-voice from the crowd, " Aye,
and it'a an impudent trick on thee ;"—(great laughter)—
and Mr. Livesey's reception was anything but satisfac-
tory either to himself or his party, which certainly were
something like Falstaff's raeged regiment, with which he
would not march through Coventry.)
g The HIGH SHERIFF, on the opposition to Mr. Livesey
continuing
ti said, " Gentlemen, I insist upon you allow-
Livesey to address you." Without this intinaa-
o aR
n that gentleman's speaking would have been like

" the flower that's born to blush unseen,
Mr.
waste its sweetness on the desert air."
L
and tvtaay, on silence being obtained, proceeded,
delivered a long, tedious, and absurd harrangue, in
favor of free trade doctrines. We make no excuse for
omttttng mr.
Livesey'a speech by the lump, because there
as not a proposition hazarded by him that has not been
Inswered a thousand times. He ended by proposing Sit
Potter, hut the name was withdrawn, and the High
Sheriff declared Mr. Clifton duly elected.
Mr. CLIFTON then came forward, amidst tremendous
Cheering and said—Mr. High-sheriff, gentlemen, and
brother freeholders, to say that this is the proudest mo-
ruent of my might not be sayings great deal, but when
I assure you that it is the proudest moment that ever will
be in my life is saying something. (Cheers.) It is true
that I have come forward as a candidate to meet the wishes
of one of the most numerously signed requisitions that
was ever sent to any gentleman, in any county. It was
not only signed by country gentlemen, but by all classes.
It was signed by the holders of the land, and it was
signed by the holders of the commerce of the country.
(Loud cheers.) It was signed, gentlemen, by men of all
religions (continued cheering), and, gentlemen. in accord-
ance with that requisition, here I am to return you my
thanks for having made me a Knight of the Shire. lam
aware that I have not the eloquence of the noble lord,
Your late representative ; but I hope I may be allowed to
say, that I have that integrity,, that firmness of pur-
Pose, that willingness to do you good, which I trust will
cause you to give me your attention. (Cheers.) I have
stated to you my political opinions in my address, and it
is gratifying to me to know that they are in accordance
with Your own, by permitting me to have the honour of
now standing before you in the proud position of your
representative. Gentlemen, I tell you that I shall sup-
port a Conservative government. Why, according to the
admission of the other side, the government has followed
out the principles of free trade as far as a government
ought to do. (Cheers.) I believe, gentlemen, that the
present government is a strong one, and that it is fit to
rule this great and mighty nation. It is a government
(which has taken care of the revenues of the country.
Cheers.) Trade I think was never so prosperous, and
for that reason, if that only, a conservative government
ought to be supported by those interested in the prospe-
rity of the commerce of England. (Loud cheers.) Gen-
tlemen, I came not here to make promises. If I am not
at liberty to act upon free principles, I am not fit to be
one of the representatives of one of the finest counties in
England. (Loud cheers.) lam not a political bigot to
support any man or any measure of a certain party. I
come here to support a conservative government, eschew-
ing the evils of party, and supporting that government so
long only as it supports the true interests of the country.
(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not have the imperti-
nence to detain you so long as some persons here have
done. (Cheers and laughter.) They (the Leaguers), at
all events, in considering your mighty interests, have
never given a thought to your precious time. (Laughter
and cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not admit what Mr.
Livesey says to be true respecting his visits to farm-houses
in the Fylde, and finding no meat in them. I have also
!isited farm-houses in the Fylde, and 1 have found meat
In them and I think my word is as good as Mr. Livesey's.
(Loud cheers)Mr.Livesey began by praising my father,
and ended by abusing him as a landlord. Was there ever
°ltch consistency ! (Loud cheers.) Then Mr. Livesey
males a quotation from the prayer-book, but the next
time he does so let him quote correctly. (Cheers.) There
tre n° such words as cheapness and plenty," as quoted
4,Y Mr. Livesey front the prayer-book : the words are
Peace. and plenty." (Loud cheers.)

•9 not true—(great cheering ;)—and, gentlemen, take my
ord for it again, we can have no farmer prosperous if we
ave free trade—(cheer.ng continued)—that is, if we admit
the produce of foreign countries into our own markets,
;enlist they prohibit ours from entering their own. Such
s?rle'l4ll imposts are now laid upon flax, that it is almost a
ti''ll'hibited article. It is very easy for Mr. Livesey,. and
buttise who come forward with him, to make assertions,
aoh," ia very difficult to support them. Although my
ilr,,Lon in particulars may differ from those of some
er:gnd me, our interests are the same. It is as much my
caterest to keep up the manufacturing prosperity of the
ealtil4,.trY as that of the agriculturists ; they must rise and

fo ay protection from agriculture. I am for eating the
,grownlis°d" in our own country. (Hear, hear.) If we
la te, supposing we went to war, with all our
vend ont of tillage, where could we procure food ? It is
