      fie did not like the tone of consideration jb which Gentlemen on both sides of the hustings ' jpote of the poor . He did not like the idea of jnskiBg the poor always the recipients of charity . He waited the poor to have their rights , and then iheT would not need any charity at all . ( Loud : cheer ? . ) That , was one fact—& siD ^ alar anomaly of their social state . The poor and the industriouB should always be spoken of and thonght of at the ' same time , " it -was a singular fact that those who produced all the wealth ; who , in connection with -I capital and skill , made the country great , rich , and powerfnl , should not at the same time be permitted I to skziein . the results of chat indnstry . That society j could not be well managed—could not be governed ) on juft and Christian principles , which , disregard-i jug * that principle of scripture , which said , "That

      the labourer should first be the partaker of the fruits ; '' and . that " he who would not work , neither jboulu he eat / 3 Society distributed its rewards to its useless members , and awarded misery and toil , jad destitution to those who produced all the wealth , who made this country so great . ( Loud cheers . ) Tuerefore let the working men ask for no faronr , seek no charity ; let them ask a fair and full parr . cipation in the results of their own industry . l , et them ask for justice , and justice only , and then he had not the slightest doubt they would require bo charity from any class of the community It wis far these reasons that he stood forward with pride and pleasure to propose Mr . James Williams , of ianderland , as a fit and proper person to represent this great and important borough . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . Jamrs Tu . t > -gttckth seconded the nomination . Mr . Joshta Hobsos next advanced to the front of ice irjs : iB £ » , and proposed Mr . James Leech , of ManciieHter , & man well qualified to represent , not oc ; y the interests of the borough of Leeds , but the whole community , whether manufacturing or agricultural . Mr . Wiijliax GasiG seconded the nomination . The Matos then enquired if any other gentleman had s . candidate io propose , aad none appearing , he ca'led npon

      Mr . Hnts , who spoke at great length , on all the "Whig topics , avowing himself for an extension of the Suffrage , and for other reforms , but he would proceed very cautiously , and not give a man a Tote till he was sufficiently "intelligent " to exercise it . por some time before he had finished , strong symptoms of disapprobation began to manifest themsi-ives , he was heard in any thing but a satisfactory manner . Mr . Willuh BrcKExr was received with vociferous cheering by his friends , but assailed with fciisei . cat-calls , hooting , and the most dicordaut noises by 1 he well trained band of hired " slavies , " who were present to support the Liberals . The interrup'ioa continued with more or less intensity durin g the whole of his add dress .

      Mr . Axdam spoke amidst " confusion worse confeiiEicd , ' and it was impossible for any one at ihe ¦ diiiance of two yards from him , to hear a sentence which fell from h : m . Lord Jocelt . v followed , but the game still coutnutd , and only those who stood beside him could heir a word he -aid . Mr . JAMES WILLIAMS next came forward , and iras received with tremendons cheers . He addressed the meeting as electors and non-electors of : he borough of Leeds , Englishmen , Irishmen , or Scotchmen ; to whatever country , to whatever sect or piny they might belong , he met them that day wiih feelings of pride , because he bad principles to enfold to them which it was their interest and

      their duty to understand . He had duties to brirg before term which he was sure required only to be brc ,- ; ht before them , to enable them to recognise their Importance , and to cause them , as or . e man . to uni ' -e heart , hand , and soul , and bind themselves together under the principles of equal justice , and comrcei . ee a new movement without reference to faction ? , political , religious or commercial . Had the j assembled ihen to be the slaves of faction 1 ( Shouts . ) of " ISo , no . ') Had they assembled as the de-Ecenca ^ ti of Pym , Hampdeu , Elliott , and Cromwell , and the rest of the illustrious heroes , patriots , &ud philanthropists , that had raised Ess ' and to her ? rona position in the scale of nations ? ( Cheers . ) he Ciustrr was now in a state which both parties

      irzi ? , and the determined opponent 01 the existiv ± Corn Laws , and all taxes that made food dear , sr . d , 3 . 5 a necessary consequence , wages low . ( Loud ch ?? rs . ) What said their friend , Mr . Hume ? He told them that those Izvrs were enacu-d by monopolirng law makers . And yet Lord John Russell c :: ! ired that the Reform Bill was intended to giv ? £ rrrposderanee to the landed interef" , winch Mr . Hume considered a hand of plundering- monopolists . ( Hear , tear . ) Mr . Hume had told them that there was a selfish principle in human nature , ar . d how were they to c-onsi-erac . the encroachmentmade upon their rights by men under the influence of that principle but by destroying class-legislation ] He asked them were they not qualified to exer ? i = « the franchise ! Were they Dot eq' : al to the Negroes of the northern states of America ? and did no : Mr . Buckingham tell them , in a book he had recently published , thas the Negroes of North AtErri ; a exercised the franchise in Massachusetts ?

' He ccma-r . de'i for every man of mature age a voice iu the making of the laws that were to secure his peace , hapless * , and rights from those who wished : o encroach upon them . ( Very great cheer ? . ) He was for a > c ' r . tir . ~ of national education , unconnectvi with relief-us creeds . ( Shouts of " So is Hume . ") He was for the total separation of Church and Stars . ( Shouts of " So is Hume . "; He was for the _ rep -al of all those lavrs that encroach on the rights of conscience , and for the repeal of all the toes on the necessaries of life , and the substitution of a property tax . ( Lond cheers . ) He contended ,

      however , if the Dissenters wished a repeal of the Church-rates , a r--peal of the Corn-laws , and other Bccti - . sal measures , they must cc-me forward to the mii-ions and say , they were willing and anxious to extend to them the power they themselves possessed . They ( : he Cbarrists ) did not wan : to advance the cause by the sword ; they gave that to their oppressors . They Lad the power of the press , that mighty instrjiiEein , whe-e battle for the right had been ed efeernal in the pzst , and wop ] J be moreso in the future—( cheer- )—the press which had been the ark id which the productions of the mind were floated over : be convulsions and anarchy that once deluged

      misnamed thing called the National Debt . ( Cheers , and an exclamation of ' ? Who gave us it !") He had been asked who gare them the National Debt ! It was the Torie 3 who gare them it ; but the Whigs had kept it up . ( Cheers and hisses , and cries of They have . " ) It was his firm conviction that the burthens which bow ground down the people would neTer . be removed until they were represented in the senate-house , and a due protection given to their owa industry . ( Hear , hear . ) He would call their attention to a fact which came under his own observation at Manchester . There was a certain manufacturer who had 50 spinners in his establishment ; they turned out in consequence of a reduction of wages . When-they went back to work

      at a reduced price , there was only employment for 25 , for the spinning mules had been joined together , and one man was made to do two men ' s wort ; and yet nora single shilling extra was allowed for the additional labour . ( Shame . ) These same men again turned out , and when they applied for work a second time , they found that the machinery were not only double-decked , but self-acting , and there was a cast iron man to supercede them . ( Cries of " Shame , shame , shame . " These men were now walking about the streets , some selling onions , others gathering rags , and the remainder resorting to any 0 : her miserable mode in their power to obtain a mouthful of bread . ( Cries of " Shame , shame . ") Some persons would say—wouid you tax machinery ? 2 \ ohe

      , would not , but in proportion as machinery superseded manual labour , and the populatian of the large" manufacturing town 3 became redundant , they ought to be withdrawn xo tho waste Jands of the country to cultivate the soi !; and that would repeal the Corn Law 3 , and give the people bread enough to eat . ( Hear , hear . ) He had the authority of Mr . Porter for s 3 yiD # that the export of manufactures from this country amounted to between £ 6 Q , O 00 fi 00 and £ 70 , 000 , 000 a-year , and yet he fouud tuat during the last twenry-five years the waxes of the working Masses had been reduced from £ 100 , 000 , 000 to £ 120 , 000 , 000 a-year , while the vrhoie of their exports had not amounted to more than the sums h « had mentioned . ( Hear , hear , and

      load cheers . ) What had been the result ! The manufacturers had now no market which was of any value to them . Why ? Because they had destroyed the best market they had in the world , namely the home market , by taking away tha wages of the working men ( Cheers , and cries of Hear , hear . ) They reminded him of a man who was afflicted with athroa , and who , « dn order to breathe more freely , cut hi 3 own throat . ( Laughter . ) The manufacturers of this country had done the fame thing ; they had takea away from the labouring classes tie means of purchasing the produee of their ovra toil , and then coo plained of being unable to dispose ot their goods . ( Hear . ) The Speaker then proceeded to show that a total repeal of the Corn Laws would

      oiily -benefit aa individual to the extent of three halfpence a week , andadded that a mau who rose at half-past fire in a morning to go to his ivork , and happened to stumble upon some stone on the road , would lose more by a fiae , for loss of time , than the repeal of ihe Corn Laws would benefit him . ( Cheers . ) The Whigs had charged the Tories with makiDg food dear , but he iMr . Leech ) charged the Whigs fvjth making it doubly dear by reducing the wages of the working classes by means of machinery . He claimed on behalf of those who were the producers of all wealth a right to vote in sending men to the House of Commons who would give the same protection to labour as was given to property . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) He had no objection to property having its just protection , but

      he denied in toto that it ha-i a right to more than tho industrious classes who produced it . ( Hear , hear ) He begged to tell both the gTeat factions that , if they delayed much longer to do justice to the working men of England , a bloody revolution would fee the consequence . ( Hisses & groans . ) Some gentlemen seemed to think that was desirous of such a result . He begged to say that he would rather endure slavery much longer than he" had done than see England steeped up to the ears in blood and turmoil . What he meant to say was , that , if such a stuce of things did happen , it could not be charged upon the ignorance of the people , but npon those who had reduced them to their prcseut miserable condition by unjust and selfish legislation . ( The speaker sat down amidst great ¦ cheers . )

      At the conclusiOE of Mr . Leeohs address , the May « r ,-assisted by the Town Clerk , proceeded to take the"show of hands . The appearance of the crowd when all hands were held up , wa . ; interesting in ih extreme , acd when to the hands succeeded ; he waving of hats , the effect wa 3 beyond description . The shouts and clapping of hands were truly deafening . The Mayor deliberatdd and consulted for upwards of twenty minutes , and the show was tuken no less than thirteen times , when the

      Mayor at last said , really the parties were so nicely balanced that it was with great difficulty he could decide which had the majority . He had taken an oath to fill the duties of his office impartially , without fear , f i > our , or aif-.-cnon to any party , though he mi ^ ht not coincide with a grea , ; number then present . lie admitted the majority mis no : great , but still , according io the best opinion he could form from the show of hands , and the extent of ground covered , he conceived the show was in favour of Mr , Hume and Mr . Aldam . This announcement was received with mingled cheers and

      . Mr . Hob ? on and Mr . Fkmiug at once announced that as the .-how of hands was against them , and as they were adherents to the principle of Universal Suffrage , they should act on that principle ; and , on behalf of Mr . Williams and Mr . Leech , withdrew from further contest . Mr . Job ;* Atki . nso . v then , in the usual form , demanded a poll for Mr . Beckett and Lord Jocelyn , and the immense crowj , who had been standing till nearly fire o'clock , dispersed without any sign of disturbance or ill blood being manifested . One thing connected with this election is deserving of e-pecial r , ote : the Chartists had the hearing . No ; or . e of the other candidates were heard , even by their own friends ; but the Chartist candidates , as well as their proposers and seconders , were heard with the greatest order , attention , and even interest , by all parties .

      THE POLL Took "place ou Thursday morning . For the first two hours , the Whig candidates had the lead , but at eleven o ' clock , Mr . Wm . Beckett was at the head of the poll . At three o'clock , the numbers were : — Aldam 1015 Hurce 1791 Beckett _ 1 F > S 3 Jocelyn 1759 FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL .

      The nomination of the three candidates for the representatifn of the Borough having just concluded , 1 hasten to inform you that there has been a glorious display of feeling among the people , in favour of the Radical candidate . By Feven o ' e ] oek this morning , they began to muster , and continued to do so till a little pa ^ t eight o ' clock , when they began to paradG the town accompanied by the man of their heart , Henry YinccBt , his nominator , seconder , and committee , with a goodly number of electors , aud a committee of non-lectors , with band , banners and flags , followed by the different societies to Whom they belonged , forming one of the largest <

In the third place , I abominate controversy between friendg , or men embarked in the same cause , never having known any good to come of it , but much eviL In the fourth place , my oppjsition to one point would be sure to lead me ( in the progress of the controversy ) to dispute your statements and the wisdom of yoni views on many other points , sot of immediate interest , a coarse which would be neither agreeable to me nor profitable to the cause .

      In the fifth place , my opposition te such of your doctrine and modes of agitation as I disapprove of , would Jbe construed by your friends , nrid by those who don't know me , into attacks upon yourself , the Star , and your immediate followers . And in the sixth and last place , because when men differ in opinion , I think it best and sufficient , for both parties to address themselves to the public , aad having explained their respective views , leave the rest to public opinion , Por those general reasons and also for the particular one that the elections will be over or nearly over , before this tppears in print , I shall barely say in this letter , what may suffice to let the public see , wherein we agree and differ , on the subject of dispute between us , aad then take my leave of tha discussion .

      lBt . We are both in favour of practically asserting Universal Suffrage at the present election by cheating a National Bepresentation through the show of hands ' suffrage , supposing that suffrage to be in our favour , as , no doubt it is , or wouid be , were proper steps taken to prepare the country for it Oa this point we aie fully agreed . It was recommended to us in the manifesto of the first Convention ; it received the sanction of innumerable public meetings ; it was approved of by both you and me , before the Convention made it one of itB " ulterior measures ; " and I now state , what I have

      often stated before , that had all the leaders , yourself included , only applied your energies unitedly ^ and cordially to this one point , by canvassing and agitating the country for the last twelve or even three months , and getting candidates ready for each county , city , and borough , &c ., instead of broaching new and conflicting plans of agitation , with no practical object in view —had you and they , I say , only done this , we might be at this moment in a condition to carry the Charter , or something nearly tantamount and directly leading te it

      Upon the question of a national representation , then , We both agreed , aa regards its utility and necessity . We only diffar as to the fact , whether you and other leadeis have taken the proper steps to secure it . You think you have . I think you have not ; and I think the other Convention leaders who sanctioned it in the manifesto , are still more to blame than you , for not having taken any steps whatever to prepare the country for it , till within a week or two of the eleotioDS , when , of course , it was too late . You did something in the way of recommendation . They did nothing at all .

      2 . We are both agreed in recommeuding Chartist electors tu bring forward candidates of their own , at every election , and to split their votes wiih either faction that will split with them . So far we are agreed , but you at-once destroy the good of your recommendation ; you , in fact , render it almost a dead letter , by tagging anether recommendation to it , which makes the first nugatory ; for you tell the Chartist electors " in nil places where they are not strong enough to carry their own man" ( that is EVERYWHERE 1 ) to vote for tho Tory , and keep out the YVhis . You must see , if you are not blind , that this advice knocks tho other on the head , —for what inducement can a Tory candidate have to split his votes with our party , if you till him before hand ,

      that he is to have our votes , whether he splits with us or not ? What Tory candidate would be silly enough to drag a Chartist candidate along with him into Parliament if he could get in without ? Yet that is the very position your Pro-Ijvry policy would place him in . Then , as to the Whig party—the more likely of the two to coalesce with us—yon knock all our chances from that quarter on the head at once , by the palpably absurd and unjust dintiuctwn you set up between them and tUe Tories ; for , you tell us that the Whigs must at all hazvrds be destroyed as a party — that their extinction as a party is absolntt-ly essential to the success of Chartism . How could you expect a Whig candidate to coalesce with us under these circumstances ? True , he is a tyrant and

      a usurper , but lie fcuows tha Tory is the same or worse , aud that we , Chartists , know it too . If ho sees us , then , make a distinction in favour of hia rival at his expense , he naturally concludes , ( and has a right to conclude ) , that our opposition is not to the principle of tyranny und usurpation , ( which would be justifiable and laudable ) , but to some meaner , baser motives iufused into tbe Chartist electors by tht ) ignorance or malice of others , and with these feelings , he naturally says to himself , — " Damn these Chartists ! Why should I coalesce -with them to got in one Whig at the expense of getting iu a Chartist feHow along with him . Who will vote for a worse tyrant than myself on the mere &pecula , tion of extinguishing me , and that , without his getting , or even

      stipulating for , any advantage at all from that other tyrant ? No ! better to let two Tories in , than a Whig und Chartist , on these terms , " and so there i 3 an end of all cbance of the Whig party splitting with us . Thus , you s . e , Feargus , that your second recommendation socs entirely to destroy your first—that in wnicb we both agree—namely to split -with either party that will bona Jide split With US . But if instead of ranking your absurd aud unjust distinction between the two factions , —the Chartist electors tsay Newcastle , for instinct- ; were to go honestly and manfully to each of the two factions , and say thus— " here we are , 400 Chartist electors of this borough , though having votes ourselves , we are viitu-. i'iy unenfranchised in cousequupce of our brethren , tho non-electers , S , 000 strong

      h : xvii > g no votes , through your usurped monopoly of the franchise . These 8 , 000 honest , useful men belum-, like ourselves , to tho . ranks of laborious industry . Their wants , feelings , and interests are the same as ours , and thoy would consequently vote a ^ we vote , if they had thuir rights . An unjust ! iv . v deprives them of thtse rights ; ami though their disfrnnchisewetit -mhially deprives us of ours , unless you Whigs , with your 1 , 000 vote 3 , or you Tories , with your 80 S ) , shall choose to make common cause with them and us . It is iu your pcjvrer to render the unjust law a dead letter in this borough , by returning two popular candidates , agreeably to the will of the majority of the whole electors and non-electors—and we should have a just right to require that at your hands . But we ask not so much . We shall be content with one representative fur us 8 , 400 adult men , and leave you to choose the other , though only 1 , 800 in number . We

      offer to coalesce and split our votes with either party of you on these conditions , that is , man for man in the representation of the borough ; but if neither of you will do this—if you are determined to have the whole representation to yourselves , then we shall oppose you both alike , we shall make common-cause with our unrepresented brethren , put candidates of our own in nomination , aud abide by the show of hands , as out forefathers did , before your blasted property-qualifications had robbed them of their rights . And we tell you for your comfort , that every other borough , city , and county in the kingdom will do the eame—so now take the consequences of your tyranny and folly . We propose the most moderate terms to you , terms which offered you more than justice , and ourselves less , but in the pride and selfishness of your hearts , you have rejected us with scorn—which proves that it is yeu , and not the law , that is in fault So now , as we said before , tike the consequences . '

      Now Feargus , what can be plainer , jnoro straightforward , more intelligible than this ? Compare it with the hobbling , crooked course you recommend , and say in the honesty of your heart , which would bo the more likely one—your's or mine—to promote our common object—viz ., the causi 7 ig one or other of the factions to coalesce with us , so as to get some forty or jifly Chartist candidates into the House of Commons ; or failing that , to get a national representation by show of hunds . Either of these you admit would effect our purposei . e ., either the forty or fifty members , or the national representation . We are agreed in recommending both — -we only differ as to the mode of doing the thing . You prefer yours ; I prefer mine . Well , let the country decide between us , or without us , if they like . After all the decision must rest with them , and provided success crown their efforts , neither you nor 1 will , I believe , care by whose plans or advice they carry their points .

      3 rd . 1 have stated how far we agree and disagree on two heads . Lek me now pass to a third . You seem to think it no disgrace for a Chartist to vote for a Tory though that Tory will not vote ior , nor recognise him in any shape orway . as entitled to equal rights with himself I , on the contrary , think it most disgraceful and degrading to vote for either Whig or Tory , or to give either faction a moment ' s countenance or support , except on terms of reciprocity or the mutual recognition of each other ' s rights . I go further I assert that the Chartist who votes for either Whig or Tory ( except on the terms specified ) , does practically sanction the usurpation and tyranny of the faction he votes for ; that he , by so doing , becomes , in fact , morally responsible for the future crimes and tyranny of that faction , and that he disqualifies himself morally for all future resistance to its domination , at least until he wipes out his disgrace at some future

      election . Remember , he voted for tbe faction with a full knowledge of its character and acts ; he helped to put a member of it into power over him and his , and , consequently , J again repeat , he can have no right afterwards to resist or complain of the crimes or tyranny of that faction . But the case becomes entirely altered , -where tbe factions agree to split their votes with our candidate . A Chartiist elector may then , I say , both conscientiously and honestly vote for the faction that splits with us , —partly because though ostensibly voting for them he is voting in reality for Lis ovrn man , aud bis own principles ( he having got perhaps ten votes in exchange for one ) but chiefly because the " simple / act of either faction so far recognising our claims as to agree to split their votes with us pro tauto is an abandonment of the usurpation we charge them with , and does therefore entitle them to our approbation and support in return " Yes , Feargus , I abide by every word and letter of this sentence , tsven the word ap&nbation ^ which like

      Macbeth ' s omen , seems moat unaccountably to have stack in your tbroat . Remember , I apply *• »© word approbation to the faction ' s then eondnct ( viz . in splitting with ub ) , and not to their general conduct or principles . And why should we not approve of such conduct ? Is it not an abandonment of their usurpation , to prefer a coalition with us to either coalescing ¦ with the other faction , or letting them return the two members 1 You ndtnit , yourself , that the Whigs , generally , would rather return ten Tories than one Chartist to Parliament , and vies versa . In fact , no man knows better than you , that it matters little to the great body of the electors ( Whig and Tory ; which of the two factions prevails at an election ; so long as they can

      keep out of Parliament <( men of extreme and dangerous opinions , "—i . e . Chartists . This being the general feeling , then , does not that constituency deserve approbation at our hands , which first breaks through the pride of caste , and discarding all selfish feeling and class interests , opens a door for the admission of Chartism into the House of Cemmons , by giving a Chartist candidate the benefit of their votes , so that the non-electors shall be represented as well as their own class ? I decidedly think such constituency , whether Whig or Tory , entitled to our approbation and thatiks , as well as to the votes we may be able to give ih exchange , and so would you , I guess , if you rightly conceive my meaning .

      Now for the injurious tendencies of yonr advice , and the assumptions it is founded npon . [ We shall give the remainder of Mr . O'B ' s letter in our next ] [ The reader will perceive , from the concluding portion of this letter , that it is to be continued .

      Keighlet . —On Friday last , Lords Morpeth and Milton paid a visit here on their electioneering tour through the West Riding . It had been the intention of the Whig party to make their reception as brilliant as possible by stopping their factories , and making their work-people walk in procession with cards and banners . The extreme wetness of the day , however , and the unwillingness of the people to add to the pageant , by honouring the party who had used them so badly , made the attempt such a miserable failure , that by the time the candidates made their entry the vrholc number might t > e about equal to that usually drawn together to witness a dog battle , or the exploits of Punch and

      Judy . The Chartists , who had been making preparations for the occasion , had drawn a waggon opposite tho Whig hustings , on ¦ which stood Messrs . Firth and KnowJes , surrounded by a number of Radicals , to interrogate the candidates . It having been agreed upon between the two parties that both should have a fair hearing , Lord Morpeth addressed tho crowd upon the bad effects of Tory Government , and tho great benefits likely to spring from the three important measures proposed by tho present Ministry . The speech , which was an echo to the others on tho same subject , was replied to by Mr . Joseph Firth , who gave an able Radical speech , commenting , as he went on , upon the delinquency of the Whigs , and their varioas base measures . He

      told him that the display of yellow around him meagre as it was , would have been much more so , if tho manufacturers had not intimidated their \ tork , people , by compelling them to sport the badge of his party . For his part , he said he had no doubt that , if he had been working at his old employment of woolcombing , and been at the head of a family of small children , he should have formed one of the crowd , with a yellow card in his hat . The effect of this observation was quite magical , for in the course of a few minutes afterwards scarcely a card was to be seen , some of the weavers shewing their independence so far as to tear them in pieces , and throw them towards the Whig hustings . Lord Milton uttered a few sentences afterwards , but he spoke 50 low , and appeared 80 ill at ease , that he excited the pity , more than the spleen , of the spectators . Mr . Knowles replied in an able and

      effective speech , which told ably upon his Lordship ' s , and drew loud and repeated applause from ths crowd . The Chartist committee had procured a black flag with the portraits of Frost and O'Connor fastened to it , beneath which was inscribed in large letters , " behold Frost and O'Coneer the Whig victims . " During Mr . Firth's discourse , this flag-was unfurled full in the faces of the two candidates as startling proofs of Whig liberality . After the business was over , their Lordships proceeded to Otley and wore saluted on their departure with hoavy groans mixed with a few cheers from the crowd . On Tuesday Vast , the two Tory candidates paid their visit on the same busitiess . The day was extremely fine and as Whig misrule had takwn away a great deal . of that marked preference which used to be bestowed upon them , the blues suffered very little molestation . Their entrance into the town from

      Bingley was very imposing , their adherents having mustered in strong numbers from the surrounding places . The procession extended upwards of half a mile and consisted of a large number of horsemen and some thousands on fool , in the midst of which was the carriage of the two candidates drawn by some of the rabble who were acting the dignifk-d part of horses . They wore qne-tioned and replied to in a similar manner by Messrs . Firth and Knowles and with nearly tho same effect . After which , a show of hands was taken upon the utter want of confidence in both Whig and Tory which appeared to be carried by an immense majority . Glasgow . —Tuesday , two o'clock ; it hasjustbeen ascertained that Provost Campbell is . going to stand on tho Conservative interest .

      Avit . —Mr . Jack , of Glasgow , who stands for the Ayr Burghs , attended a public meeting in the town of Ayr last ( Monday ) night , aud at a great public meeting held there , it was unanimously agreed to bring him forward to the poll iu opposition to Lord James Stuart .

      Glasgow . —( From our own Correspondent . )—A great public meeting was held , \ n front of the Gaol , to select candidates for this city . Mr . George Ross , upon being called to the chair , stated the object oi the meeting , in a brief speech , and concluded by calling upon Mr . Gillespie , who , in a splendid speech , proposed George Mills , Esq , of Bowling Bay . " Never , " said Mr . Gillespie , " will I forget the day that I saw the bloody head of old Wilson exhibited on this same spot where I now stand , under the reign of the bloody Tories ; " aud now he would not forget that a Ciayton was murdered , and that a Peddie was being slowly slaughtered by the Whig 9 . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . Rodger seconded Mr . Mills , in a speech in whbh he struck at

      both factions with a giant hand . He concluded , after a long and powerful speech , amid great cheering from the vast multitude , which , at this time , was estimated at 80 , 000 . The Whigs said 40 , 000 ; and some of the Tories said 50 , 000 . Mr . Berkmire stood forward aa the advocate of the Whig Members . ( Laughter , groans , and hisses , amid much confusion . ) Air . Berkmire flouudered away , but was ultimately compelled to retire after moving an amendment that Dennistoun , their present member , should be their man in place of Milles , which was seconded by Mr . Wylie . When , the show of hands was taken , a few was held up for the amendment , but for Milles tbe vast assembly held up a forest of hands . Mr . Cullen then slept forward to propose Mr . Moir , Wiiich he did in a speech which elicited bursts Of approbation from the vast multitude around him ; when the name of Moir was mentioned , nothing could exceed the

      enthusiasm of the meeting . Mr . Proudfoot second ) d the nomination of Mr . Moir , in language which told home to the feelings of all present . After which the Chairman asked if there was any amendment to propose , but no one made their appaarance for that purpose , when ho put tke motion of Mr . Cullen to the meeting , when the vost show of hands equalled Mr . O'Connor ' s on a former occasion . Mr . Moir , who was on the hustings , being loudly called for , addressed the meeting . Nothing c « old exceed the warmth with which he was greeted and the applause his sentiments received . The rain at this time began to fall very heavy , and as I was writing on the hustings aud had to be off iu time for the post , I left the meeting , amid the rapturous cheering of the assembled thousands , when Moir stated that he would show up the Whigs at the nomination , whioh takes place on Friday .

In accordance with a resolution , passed on the 20 th , a public meeting has been called by the Chartists , to be held in the Charlestown meetingroom , on Monday , the " 28 'Ji , and both candidates invited to attend . The following questions were submitted : —1 . Will you , if returned to Parliament for this borough , vote for the People ' s Charter to become the law of the land ? 2 . Will you vote for the extinction of the New Police Act ? 3 . Will you votefor a repeal of the Now Poor Law ? ( These questions were put to Chares Hindlev , Esq .

He would vote for the release of political prisoners , and the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones . He would vote for a repeal of tha New Poor Law ; and as to the New Police Act , he always was-for Ashion choosing lis own police .

      Golcar— Party spirit ia running very high in this place , and it appears the valiant yellow squad' have been boasting what noble deeds they performed oa Tuesday last in front , " of the DruMa Hotel , but forget * to mention how ttu-y had to leave their jMilten and Morpeth banners on their way home at night ; a few boys who had been ridden down by Crosland , Tom Taylor , Scotch Bob , and Pilling , looking out for those brave Golcar ahoddy men , and attacking them and putting the whole gang of them to the rout—musicians , nag-btarera , and the whole posse of them . Some of the fraternity who happened to be a little wealthier than

      the rest , are threatening the poor voters that they shall have no wark' if they do not vote for Milton and Morpeth . One of the pious deacon-dippers sent word to an old kinsman of the same name -as himself , that , if he did not vote for Milton and Morpeth , no more wark' for him : the old man exclaimed , " Why , I never could raise a pair o' new breeches sin t'Whigs come into office , and it is not likely I shall gie my vote to get them in again . " The bines are taking the poor men on , and , no doubt , they will thrive as well Hinder their new masters as they have been doing for some time back with the yellows .
