PURITY OF ELECTION.

NORWICH ELECTION FOR SIIERirF.

The political feeling of the inhalsitants of this pa-
pules' city may be correctly appreciated from the late
Election for Sheriff. On Te•srlay last, the day ap.
pointed by the charter for the (freemen to elect a citi-
zen to 611 this MO and important office, Mr. Edward
Taylor, a decided friend to Ramat. Revolt., end
Mr. T. S. Day, the President of a Society called
m she King and Constit 'lion Club," were respectively
pet in nomination. After • spirited poll. which con.
Mooed the whole day, the MAYOR declared the nem.
bets, before a crowded Court, to be—

Mr. TATLefa then said—" Fellow Cilizese,—The
office to which you have now elected me was neither
desired no impeded on my part ; bet there are times
when it is the duty of those who vales the laws and
the Constitution of their country not to shrink from
the discharge of those Mseisterial duties, by which
the rights and liberties of the People may be affected :
and If ever there was sects a period is the history of
our reentry, it Is the present. The late dreadful and
bloody scene which has been acted at Manchester has
taught iheoPeople an insportaut lesson.—(Applanse )

wanton sod eaprovoked attack made upon the people
who were met t•exerciseit —by those whosedety it was

Manchester they have es voice in the election of
their Magistrates. Instead of those old and vette.
table constitutional Officers, the Mayor, Aldermen,
end Sheriffs, whose very titles mark their high sae
liquify, they are prettied by men with modern,
rew-fangled, and odious names of Stipendiary Police
idagistraics. No wonder that each Officers should
have very little feeling in common with the People.
We have reason to rejoice that we live ender a
different jurisdiction.---All our local instil..
lions bespeak a constant refereoce to the will
of the People, and thereby manifest their high
&otiosity, and their entice conformity to the genies
end spirit of our Constilation. Take, for instance,
the office to which you have jest elected me. The
sari I practice throughout the kingdom in those
times which gave birth to the brightest end noblest of
our laws and institetions, was for the People to elect
their own Sheriff. This right is now possessed by
few places in the kingdom. It is a right whirls you
almost peculiarly enjoy. Long may you hold lt, and
may you vindicate, by the discretion and public topi.

laws and customs which were framed by our patri-
%tic ancestors.
Is Gentlemen, I feel most sensibly the high import.
once of the office to which you hare elected me.—
I need not remind you, that one of its duties is the
preservation of the public peace. This part of my
office, I am confident,will be a very easy one. Amnion
I feel it to be my duty most distinctly to state, that if it
shall be year pleasure at any time to meet in • legal
and constitational way to petition for a redress atom
grievance", er to esprem your opinion with regard'
to any public measure, I shall feel it my duty to be
present. Not, indeed, to let loose upon you a mill.

my ability in the discharge of so important a duty.—
(Shouts of applause.)
" I am very glad that this contest hat taken place.
It is of vest Importance in the present siteation of
the country, that the opinion of the People should
be clearly and strongly espressos!. The event of
this Election has shown what is the opinion of the
cithens of Norwich. You well know my political
opinions. and you have declared, by the decided ma•
jority which appears on the poll, that you regard an
advocate for Itsdical Reform in the Commons House
of Pirliament, as a fie anti proper person to be your
