DUBLIN, Oct 90 1865
The nomination of candidates for the place in Pnra-
vacated by the death of Mr. John ID. Dillon took
place in the Clonmel Court House Wednesday-the
very building in which Smith 0Bnen received his SEN
tencs of death in lSis and in which Mr. Dillon would
probably have received the if no had been made
amenablo" ct the time. Tho noisy one-hOw
could it be otherwise when hundreds Of the stout
peasantry OF Tppey assembled to cheer and groan
and cha the different candidates, fair share OF them
being well paid for the performance Still the proceed
ngs conducted in good humor; it does not appear
that single appeal made to the argumenaive power
Of the shaah. The popular orator Of the occasion
MI Peter L. Gill editor Of TIE TppcraTy Adr0e0te, who
contested the county at previous elections and means
contest it again, under these very peculiar eircum-
stances that whereas the conesting OF Tppeay County
usually costs each candidate some five or six thousand
pounds Mr. Gill has not the good fortune of being in
position cxpend many halfPence on the batte aud
that if no were elected to the British Parliament sub
scrptou from his constituents would be necessary for bis
support. Mr. Gin claims the SURFACES of the electors be-

than rocude of opinion Is necessary for the winning OF
seat in Parliament. There have indeed been many in
stances in which tho popular party. in lish
constituencies returned their member free Of ex-
pense but then tho elected were persons ranking
much above Mr. Gill in pablo estimation. The

great cost BY his constituents To reUrn however TO the
ITINERARY nomination Mr. Gill proposed and seconded
nv two tenant Of the district and supported by the
Rev John Kenyon of Templedeuy, who was well known
for his patriotic speeches and writings in the 4S period
He was chaed good deal by the audience and charged
with having offered 10 retire from one OF the previous con-
tests Of the candidates would give hum sum OF
500 several times person present excited the laugh

the end of umbrella, but the laugh was turned COM
plotely against his inteuupter when Mr. Gu cried out
" All Hackett know yon and know tbs long TIL you'd
offer your purse any If there VAS anything IN 1t
He denounced the other two candidates cleVeryi ana

one of them by dwelling the fact that he an officer

Is an Ishman nevertheless is likely 10 carry the present
election chiefly for this reason, that the principles enun.

the suffrage universal the electors could act freely
and independently and the shameful scenes Of bribery aud
all sorts of intimidation that common at Parlia

John Bright in his late speech at Glasgow gave IT as his
opinion that honester independent, and better

would be less under tho influence OF landed projectors
and what are called noble families. Now the influence
welded by the aristocracy and the landlords IN England
is but tri1e compared with that welded by the
classes Ireland There they deal gently, comparatively
speaking with those whom they Lave power; here
they fierce and tyrannica There tho antagonism in
feeling and interests between them and the poorer classes
much less than is here There the great folk and the
small pull good deal together here they forever at

landlords with their tenanty in manner which 10 I'M

his natural instincts pull the tenant one way; the

into consideration the fact that the Irish representation in

abstain altogether from taking part in those elections and
tell them that IL they must vote It should be not TO
