DOUGLAS. Now to show the reaction that has taken place we quote the numbers at the close of the last election, in 1832 :  EWAu... SANDON . THORNELY DOUGLAS .  4,931 4,260 4,096 3,249  Here we find that Lord SANDON has risen in public favour nearly six hundred votes, while Mr. EWART has fallen to- the tune of-nine hundred votes, thus exhibiting a reaction of one thousand five hundred votes, upon the whole constituency. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, too, has gained six hundred votes, thereby clearly proving that a considerable majority of the electors are now in favour of conservative principles. In fact, the election might have been decided more favourably had the conservatives evinced a little more expertness and courage. The numbers'clemonstrate that they could have returned Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS as well as Lord SANDON, had they acted in perfect coalition as the opposite party did.  However, we have no reason to complain, seeing that we have taught the whig and radical party that they .can no longer hope to dictate to the electors of Liverpool. Pride has had a fall, and Mr. EWART is kicked down from the pinnacle*—compelled to play a subordinate part .--and left in anything but an enviabli! position. In short, he owes his election to a mistake, which, we are confident, Will not be repeated. How long he will .be permitted-to remain one of our representatives we shall not here conjecture; but if certain facts which have come to our knowledge he substantiated, as we trust they will, Mr. WILLIAM EWART will be hurled from his seat by a process as speedy as it will reflect deep and lasting dishonour upon him and his party. We say no more at present, for there has not been sufficient time to investigate the returns and analyse the votes. ft would not surprise us, however, to learn that discoveries and disclosures have been made which are likely to unseat him. The next parliament will not be like what the last one was. We shall have some chance of obtaining justice, and, in•the pursuit of it, we hope no stone will. be left unturned—no efforts suffered to relax.  On Tuesday, the first day, the,election proceeded with tolerably good hUrnour, out on the second day, when the ' destructives were fighting a desperate and losing battle, they conducted themselves in a most brutal and ferocious manner. They would not suffer the flags and badges of Lord SANDON and Sir HOWARD Dot,•oc4s to Proceed along the street. Cowardly ruffians, hired for the purpose, were seen attacking women and children. 'Some miscreants pelted Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS with stones, although, they knew that the honourable baronet had met with a serious accident and could not defend himself. One blackguard, an Irish one no doubt, was seen parlding the streets with a large hoard, on which was a death's head and cross bones, and the words " funeral of the tories." All this was done in order to intimidate, and exasperate, and if possible, get up a scene of riot and plunder: At 'the booth in the Haymarket, the policy of the destructives was to obstruct voters in proceeding to the poll. They surrounded the place in a dense crowd, and threatened to murder every man who dared to vote for the conservative candidates. Similar conduct was openly encouraged by the partisans of EWART, Mr. JAMES BRANCEER, and Mr.
