THE STATESAIAN.

threw a new light upon the claims of the gentlemen.—,i
Fr every thing which tall Wien from 11r. Lamb (fog
whom be entertained the highest rr.pect) it was thi
conviction of his mind that that gentleman had not ex-
plained himself upon the subject of Parliamemary Hos'
form. so as to give satistaction to any individual eleetdi
of Westioinster.—(.tpplause.) -.ls to the little pe •
tr;tling acts of refuel's, which Air. Lamb had pledge'
himself to co-operate in bringing about, and u Inch, per.'
hap., would he effectual to any useful consequence id
the spare of about tire hundred years—no man of sense
thought of attaching hill °ranee to these acts. It was
his tie-Ailed opinion, flirts, that this Gentleman was not

reform entertaiied by the electors of Westminster. The
reform which they wanted would pruve,in his estimation

from lir. Lamb the imputation of his beings quer 1..—(.%

Mr. 14— or, in plain Huglialt, it would prove an infallible
remedy, and the only infallible for the grievances of the
conintrr.—(Applasse.)—Theis thorough and efficient He-
form he held to be absolutely tier r S 4 rrrr and he belies- j
the majority of the electors of Westminster would a 1
with him in this qpinion. Believing, therefore, at
24
the a:theism of the country depended on Reform, and
feeling that 31r. L. was not lately to coincide in his views
upon that snhjert, it became him not only to with-bold
his vote (ruins .Ur. Larch, but to 110 every thing Ise ho-
iiiiiirslily could ilo, to prevent that gentlensinWieturn.
t. puler these circumstances, he made up his mind with-
out hesitation, calme damn to the hustings, and voted
vi en s tor Sir h . Burdett and Mr.Holphonse. He begged to
contradict any notion that might have gone abroad,
that he had made my engagement before the eleetion to
any individual. lie was entirely determined by the
conviction of his mind, and as his decisions kid hero
deliberate and disinterested, est would he rec iiiii mewl all
whom he might influence, to adopt the sawn.—(Loud
applause.)
The meeting then dispersed. I

lestprotoked, whether they would not find it difficult to
got another maw to stand up for their rights and inte-
rests? For the Lord Mayor individually lie entertained
as high respect; but, as a public character, as a man who
possessed any talents to qualify him for so public a sta-
tion, he hail had no proofs; his qualifications remained to
be unfolded. It was necessary that the Livery should
eke these matters into their serious consideration, and
if they thought that his services could be useful to them,
they should remember that this was more their cause
than his. in this case, it wouhl become them imuuedi-
utely to tusks the most active exertions, and to bring
their friends early to the poll on the following morning.
He had always held it fair to examine the conduct of
public men ; and, he could safely say, that on the last
election and the present, he had-never published a line
to which he would not affix his name, or üblicly avow
the sentiments, if necessary. But now his opponents
had assailed his private character. They had done this,
however, through a channel so foul mid polluted, that
he could not believe it would operate against him ; he
should hope that, with reasonable men, it would have a
contrary effect ; indeed, it was too contemptible fur him
to notice. The worthy Alderman then concluded by re-
questing, that they would immediately after their dis-
missal rinse all their energies, and ensure his success by
impressing those who had not yet presented their votes
of the necessity of an early attendance to-morrow
(this dav).
31r. sildennan TMORP returned thanks for the support
he had received, and expressed a hope that the victory
the Livery of London had obtained on the former occa-
sion worth! not now he tarnished. lie exhorted them to
fresh exertions, and disclaimed any hostility to his opeo-
mot, Mr. Alderman Waiihman. .1f returned, he gaol,
he would endeavour to do his duty; and if he failed, it
should he frosts the want of ability, not from want of in-
clination.
The flail then adjourned.
