The Welshman

To the Editor of the Welshmart. SIR,-As modest) may,perhaps,prevent an editorial notice of the musical treat given at the Guildhall, on Tuesday evening, by Mr. Shackell, I beg leave to express my feeling upon the subject. It g IVC, I am sure, every one present (and the hall was tolerably full), un qualified satisfaction; indeed, to use an apt expression of the lecturer, "a heavenly sensation of delight." His diction was correct, without pedantry—the illustrations well chosen, and proved his knowledge of music to be accu- rate they were given, moreover, without the affectation too frequently attending thercon. The continued and well deserved plaudits must have been highly gratifying to his auricle. Mr. S. favoured his audience with no less than eleven ballads it is superfluous to say all were good, but The Angel's Whisper," Kathleen Mavour- neen," and the Last Rose of Summer" were the most rapturously applauded. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast." Should such an one have been present at the commence- ment, transmigration took place long ere the termination. I wish him long life and health to enable him to charm the inhabitants of the town. Your obedient servant, Jan. Stlil. IS iG. J. W. LEADAM. I

To the Edito)* oj the Welshman. I On perusing in the Welshman of last week the minutes of the meeting of your Town Council, held on the 30tli ult., the Mayor there stated that he had ascertained the prices for which Weighing Machines could be procured at Bristol. I beg leave to inform the mayor, through the medium of your paper, that the Weighing Machines manufactured by the Llamnore Iron Company are all warranted, and having been continually assured of their correctness from the parties using them, I beg to inform the mayor that they are fully equal to any manufactured in the kingdom. in the i-iiigdoin. Yours obediently, Llanelly, Jan. 5, 1846. HUGH WADDLE, M.D.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN. I SIR—Having many times had occasion to attend at Cardigan on business, I have been much struck with the air of abject poverty and misery which pervades the entire place. In every part of the town the most dis- gusting and filthy eflluvia arises from the many pig sties which meet the eye. The late chief magistrate is a gen- tleman of well known and acknowledged ability, the late deputy Sheriff i, also a highly gifted, wraIthy, and intelligent man, in addition to a long list of other gen- tlemen and numerous tradespeople, originally strangers to Cardigan, some of whom have realized fortunes of £1.5,000 or 1:20,000. Surely the scenes I have ailuded to cannot have escaped the notice of some of these inha- bitants, or arc they so completely engrossed with ideas of their own importance that they have no consideration left for their less fortunate brethren. A stranger visiting, cannot fail to remark that every thing wears the air of at least a century or more in arrear of civilization than any other town, and the question naturally arises to what cause is this attributable, but to the indolence or of the authorities of the place. The filth which every where abounds is truly disgusting. What can the worthy Rector be doing that lie (if no one else) does not attempt to improve the condition of his parish- ioners. Witness the dirty state in which the children belonging to the school are allowed to attend the Church. It is truly shameful, as also the disgraceful manner in which the children are permitted to enter and depart just as their pleasures dictate, and with their wooden clogs, keep up a clatter, that at all times renders the minister's voice perfectly inaudible. The town is sur rounded by the princely scats of the gentry, and abounds with men of great wealth, and yet from the appearance of the place a stranger would conclude that it is com- posed almost entirely of mendicants. Ravenous pigs are suffered to prowl the streets in all directions, even en the Sabbath 1 and devour the most digustin offal, and I defy contradiction when I state tiwt on Friday (the killing day,) any one may see as many as twenty great hogs eagerly devouring the clotted biood and offal, which is cast from the slaughter-house. The slaughter- house is situated in the midst of the town, and the effluvia from it is horrible and detrimental to health. There is not. a single lamp in the town in fact, the sole feeling of the inhabitants appears to be that their fore- fathers were content, and why should not they also ùe. Apologising for thus intruding, and assuring you my ob- ject in addressing you is an earnest wish to correct abuse, I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, Cardigan. Dcc. 31st, IS 16. JOHX PLOUUH. j

.r> CARDIGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions were held at Aberayron, on Tuesday last. The following were the Magistrates in attend- ance:— „ D. A. S. Davies, Esq., M.P., Chairman, Col. Powell, Major Lewes, E. LI. Williams, J. Hughes, A. L. Gwynne, G. W. Parry, A. Ll. Williams, J. Boultbce, J. P. J. Jordan, J. P. Ll. Philipps, and D Davies, Esquires. The following were sworn on the Grand Jury:— Messrs. Joel Evans, draper, Charles Hackney, David Jones, draper, David Jones, grocer, Robert Jones, Evan Morgan, John Matthews, draper, David Lloyd, mercer, Thomas Morgan, of Aberystwyth Daniel Davies, Nov- addlwyd J. N. Evans, Aberayron David Evans, do.: Benjamin Phillips, Penbank, Lewis Lewis, Sychpant. The learned Chairman addressed the Grand Jury very briefly, and observed, that the characters of the cases to come before them were of so common a nature that he would not by any observations of his own take up their time and that of the Court, as time was valuable at this season of the year when the days were so short. Mary Joshua, of the parish of Troedyraur, an imbe- cile old woman, was indicted for stealing a jacket and a cap, the property of David Lewis. She pleaded Guilty, and was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment, with such hard labour as her condition would admit. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr. Benjamin Evans advocate, Mr. W. H. Thomas. John James, a journeyman watchmaker, was indicted for stealing a silver watch and some tools, the property of his employer, Mr. John Rees, of Madroilin, watch- maker. On the 23rd of September last, during the absence of the prosecutor, the prisoner absconded with the articles in question, and the same day sold a pair of plycrs to Mr. David Rees, watchmaker, Llanarth. On the 18th of November last, P. C. William Scott, stationed at Cardigan, apprehended the prisoner at a public house, in the town of Pembroke. He found the stolen articles in the prisoner's possession, with the exception of the plyers and the silver cases of the watch. The prisoner made a long and ingenious defence, but was found Guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for 12 calendar months, and to be kept to hard labour. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr. James Parry. Harriet Harries pleaded G âlty to the charge of steal- ing a pair of half boots, the property of James White, a tailor's apprentice, from his grandmother's house, at Llanarth. She had been convicted of a similar offcnce at the last Quarter Sessions. Sentence—6 calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr. Amlot; advocate, Mr. James Parry. Richard Lewis pleaded Guilty to an indictment for stealing a suit of clothes, some handkerchiefs and a watch, the property of Daniel Jenkins, of the parish of Llanfihangel-y-croyddin. He had been previouslv con- victed of felo n.V.-Sciiterice, 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. Attorney for the prosecution, Mr. W. II. Thomas. With this terminated the trials of prisoners. There was not a single appeal or traverse. LUNATIC ASYLUMS. This being the first Quarter Sessions after, the 20th of December, 181-5, notice was ordered to be given, pur- suant to the late Act, that this county would treat with some other coutiti, for the establishment of an Asylum, for the reception of the lunatic paupers belonging to this county. Mil. MIIiES S LECjACi. On the motion of Mr. Boultbee, it was ordered, that the Clerk of the Peace do apply to the agent of the late Mt-. Miles's executors, oil behalf of the Aberystwyth Infirmary, for the legacy of E200 bequeathed by the tes- tator to the Cardiganshire County Infirmary." As no Institution within the county answered exactly to that description, the legacy has hitherto remained unappro- priated, but Mr. Boultbec shewed that the Aberystwyth Infirmary was properly styled IheAberystwyth Infir- mary, and Cardiganshire General Hospital," which he submitted answered sufficiently to tae description in the will. REMOVAL OF SCOTCH AND IRISH PAUPERS. The printed suggestions transmitted from the Home Office relative to the Act 8th and 9th, Victoria, cap. 117, were read and partially adopted. FltAUDULEMT PRISONERS FOR DEBT. The rules and regulations transmitted by order of Sir James Graham, relative to the treatment of prisoners committed under the penal clauses of the late Insolvent Debtors' Acts were read and adopted. The regulations provide (inter aha) That such fraudulent prisoners for debt be classed separately from other prisoners for debt. That no wine, beer, tobacco, &c. be allowed them. That they be restricted to a prescribed prison diet. That their friends be permitted to visit them only once a week. ABELLAYRON LOWER nrtIDGE.

Williams, that a sum not exceeding £:200 be granted out of the police rates for the erection of four Lock. up Houses at the following places, namely, at Tregaron, at Rhydlewis, at New Inn, and at Llanrhystid. Mr. Hughes, of Alltlwyd, begged to suggest for the consideration of the Court, whether a Lock-up House might not be dispensed at Llanrhystid, inasmuch as that place was situate just half-way between Aberystwyth and Aberayron, where station-houses were already erected. His only motive in making the suggestion was to save expense to the county. Mr. J. P. LI. Philipps, of Mabws, adduced as reasons for the necessity of a Lock-up House at that station the facts that four roads passed through Llanrhystid, that three fairs were held there in the course of the year, and that it was a place infested by tramps and va- grants. The original motion was carried. CLEKK OF THE PEACE'S SALARY. On the motion of Mr. E. 1,1. Williams, it was ordered that the remuneration to the Clerk of the Peace should be finally fixed it Ef)00 per annum. All fees to be accounted for to the ccuntv. COUNTY COROXEK.S. Mr. E. Ll. Williams, in an able speech, movea tnat the county be divided into three coroners' districts under 7th and 8th Vic., c. 92. Mr. Jordan and Mr. J. P. Ll. Philipps opposed the motion. The proposition was carried by a majority of one. It iv,g resolved, that there should be only one polling place in each district, at Aberystwyth, Lampeter, and Cardigan. Nir, G. W. Parry called attention to the fees to be allowed to Justices' Clerks for making out lists under the bastardy Acts. It was ordered, that the keepers of the Houses of Cor- rection at Cardigan and Aberystwyth should keep each a book of the petty disbursements expended on account of the county. It was ordered, that in future all notices of sudden deaths should be given to the Coroners by the police constables and that any person bringing information to the next police station, should be remunerated by the fee of 3d. per mile. The money to be paid by the police officer receiving the information, and charged by him to the county. The business relative to the county and police rates was afterwards proceeded with. FATAI. ACCIDET.On Saturday last, a fatal acci- dent occurred to a poor man living at Pontrhydfcndigaid, a few miles from Aberystwith. The name of the sufferer is Thomas Jones, a tailor by trade. It appears that lie had a gun which had been for some time at Birming- ham to be repaired- Having received it home that morning, he went out before breakfast to test the sound- ness of the repairs. After loading the piece, he fired it off, and melancholy to relate it burst, when a fragment penetrated the brain and killed him on the spot. ABERYSTWITH TOWN COUNCIL. — RAILWAYS. On Tuesday last, a special meeting of the Town Council of Aberystwith, was held at the lown-Hall, for the purpose of considering and determining the most ad visaole course to adopt in respect to ccrtani notices received by the mayor from the respective solicitors of the Man- chester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh Junction Railway Company, and also the Great North and South Wales and Worcester Company, intimating the intention of those Companies to apply for Acts of Parliament for making the said Railways. David Ed- wards, Esq., Mayor, look the chair at 11 o'clock. The Council, after some discussion, came to the unanimous resolution of assenting to such railways, and gave di- rections to the Town Clerk to communicate such assent to the proper parties. THE EXPERIMENT WITII THE NARROW GAUGE.— The experiments on a narrow gauge line, as ordered by the commissioners appointed to consider the relative merits of the broad and narrow gauges, took place on Wednesday on the York and North Midland, near York. A large number of engineers and other gentle- men interested in the question were present to witness the experiments. Mr. Brunei, as well as Professor Barlow, expressed surprise that a weight of only 50 tons was to be applied to the engine. Mr. Bidder stated that he was desirous of showing first what could be accomplished on the narrow gauge with light trains; afterwards he would experimentalise with heavier ones. All the preliminaries having been arranged, and the carriages, eight in number, having been attached, the train started from the first mile-post at 12 minutes 17 seconds past 9 A.M. It arrived at the 44th mile at 26 minutes 10 seconds past 10, having performed the whole distance of 43 miles in one hour 13 minutes and 53 seconds. The return trip was made in 1 hour 23 minutes 53 seconds a delay of some four or five minutes having occurred half-way, in taking water; and the average speed not being so great as that of the down trip. It will thus be seen that that the utmost speed attained at any time with the train of only 50 tons, was a mile in 68 seconds, and that even that pace was not maintained for above one mile. On the Great Western a speed of one mile in 61 seconds was attained, with a train of 81 tons attached, whilst the general average was considerably above that of last Wednesday's work. In extenuation of this disparity in speed, it is only fair to state that a high wind prevailed. It blew a perfect hurricane from the west, and beat with immense violence against the sides of the carriages. This of course materially retarded the progress of the train. It remains to be seen what the narrow gauge can accomplish on a calm day. Meantime, we may observe that Mr. Bidder estimated the high wind as an additional weight of 100 tons added to the train. The engine, he said, consumed as much water, generated as much steam, and em- ployed as much power, as had been consumed, generated, and employed on the Great Western, with the 81 tons train, and the superior speed.—The ex- periment was repeated on W ednesday. The same distance which occupied 1 hour 13 minutes 53 seconds in the performance, or at the rate of something less than 3.5 miles per hour on the first day, was accomplished this dav in 53 minutes 28 seconds, or at rather less than 48 miles per hour,, the maximum speed (between the 5th and 6th mile-posts) being nearly 5.5 miles per hour. The wind of Tuesday may, therefore, be con- sidered to have offered a resistance equal to above 13 miles per hour. On Thursday, the weather proved unfavourable, and Mr. Bidder refused to experiment with an 80 tons train, though the commissioners stated their opinion to be that he ought to endeavour to shenv the capabilities of the engine in such weather. Mr. Bidder, however, refused to run more than four carriages and it being feared that great speed was intended to be attempted, several gentlemen refused to enter the carriages; and we arc sorry to say, that fear of an accident was realised. The train left York at 49 min. past nine, and had accomplished 22 miles in 26 mill., when, in consequence of a broken chair, and injured rail, the engine and carriages run off, and turned over on the side of a three feet cutting. The parties inside received but few injuries,—but we are sorry to say, that the stoker was so severely injured, that there are fears of his not recovering. This is a most unfortunate ter- mination of these trials, and we must now wait with patience for further test of the correctness of the exploits on the Great Western, and for publicly acknowledged proof of the capabilities of the narrow gatige.-Mittiii,g, Journal. LLANARTH.—On Thursday the 1st of January, the St. Vylltig Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd- Fellow, met together for the purpose of celebrating their anniversary, commemorating the establishment of Odd- Fellowship in this place. After going through the process of admitting several new members, and initi- ating them into the mysteries of the order, the members of the lodge, in number about seventy, preceded by a very excellent brass band, formed into a procession and having taken a circuit of the village, proceeded to the church, when an appropriate sermon was delivered to them upon the occasion, exhorting them to maintain the leliaracter of the institution unsullied and unim- paircd. Service being over, they returned to the lodge- room, and partook of a substantial and very excellent dinner, reflecting great credit upon those who had taken the trouble of providing it. The cloth being removed, the chair by unanimous consent, was taken by brother the Rev. W. Ilughes, M.A., rector of Kiliau-Aeron, the Rev. D. Evun?, the vicar of the place officiating in the capacity of vice-chairman. The usual loyal and other toasts were proposed and warmly responded to after- wards several excellent speeches were delivered, and every thing passed off to the satisfaction of all parties, with the greatest harmony, hilarity and good feeling. The St. Vylltig Lodge was established only a few years ago, under the Carmarthen District; and to all well- wishers of the order, and of mankind generally, it can- not be uninteresting to know that this branch of the institution has been continually increasing both in numbers and in wealth. It were greatly to be desired that other places were more sensible of the advantages appertaining to the society as a philanthropic institution.

[WiUTTEX EXCLUSIVELY Foil THE Ie \YEL,:DIA)f."j THE BELLS AT MIDNIGHT. AX ODE FOR THE OLD YEAR AXD TIIE NEW. By JOSEPH DOWNES, Esq., Author of The Mountain Decameron." Hark! how the village bells, as the wind of midnight swells, Reach this valley from the village full of lights Here, where Desolation dwells, is the place to hear those bells, Mixing welcomes and farewells-those merrv mournful knells, For the year which is passing from our sights. Souls, memories, away!—while the gallant New Year's Day Triumphant rides in post, o'er the Old Year's pallid hos t Of four hundred dead, almost,—Ruin's prey What a melancholy blended, with the sounds for mirth, intended, (Our feet wiiiio dead Summer lying under!) The year this moment ended, like a carnival descended In the ja%vi of an earthquake without thunder, W itli all its life gone down, in some woe-predestined town! Such the unregarded gap, without one thunder clap, Time makes in human Life torn asunder. Nor only at this season (to sadly thoughtful Reason), Man mingles his welcomes" and farewells Each day, almost each minute, hath eternal parting in it, Each hope sounds its predecessor's knell,— Still passions passions rout! the heart that sighs one 'out,' Delirious dances in' some new passion, hope, or sin, Ever parting for some heaven, from some hell! All Life is but transition, 'twixt some old and new con- dition, The poor play" all but Exeunt" and Enter" Like some self-doomed magician, who,bold to his perdition, The aid of evil spirits dares adventure, King Heart" just newly crowned, calls his Passion- spirits round, To a Dance of Death," at last, turns the revel, he aghast Like a ghost in his hollow haunted centre Hush now those silver bells! a prouder music swells, The Lyre's the gay coral's is succceding Has succeeded—battle's yell, £ .that boy passion's knell, Enter Glory, terrible Enter^Bber Age—farewell To that Glory, maimed agonised and bleeding Exit Honour, exit Valour, for Truth's Nakedness and Pallor, I Howc'er 'gainst Truth and Nature we rebel! To-day in heat of blood, beyond nature brave or good, Enter Youth as the Patriot or Hero But Time shall drum him out, or his shameless self shall shout His retreat; the moral warrior by the carnal put to rout, Stands revealed, as a Cataline or -Nero And lastly sick and sear, a personified Old Year", His sad self does Man appear, Life's fatal midnight near, Hopes, passions, and enjoyments down at zero. Then, full of better times, the heart's melancholy chimes (Hope weaker as sad Memory grows stronger No new year to usher in) make a discord and a din That rung such a full peal to Man the younger Like a church bell left lonely in a tower-that tower left only— That mocks us like a ringing, at windy midnight swinging, Such the heart that makes harmony no longer Ah then on thy sad shore, Black Sea, without a roar Sea of Death stands Man,listeningforlorn, To the world that's his no more, all behind and all before A blank—Life's year tolled out," the New in Dark and Doubt, Not come in !—the veiled visage of its Morn; Disguised, as with a pall, with the shadow of Death all Like that from whose blackness he was born.

ATTEMPT AT MURDiiR, AT WELLOW, NOT 1 TINGIIAMSIIIRE. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.—To-day, at noon, a man of the name of Woodward, a joiner, residing at Wellow, in the north of this country, was brought, in the custody of the police, to the county gaol, charged with having attempted to murder a female of the name of Hind, a widow with whom he had been Wing. v\ ellow is a village about ten miles from Worksop, and the same distance from the towns of Newark and Southwell and it appears that for a length of time past the prisoner has lived separate from his wife, and has resided with the victimof his passion. Whether he has contemplated for any length of time the horrid deed which he has per- petrated is unknown. At h<llf-past six o'clock in the morning the man and woman quarrelled while in bed, when the wretch took a knife and inflicted upon the poor woman a dreadful wound upon her throat, which extended several inches, in a direction from the left, tn right. She instantly jumped out of bed, and in her night dress ran down stairs, screaming "murder," the blood at the same time flowing profusely from the wound. Alarmed for his safety.the man ran away half undressed. One of the four children (the progeny of this unhappy connexion), in great haste, alarmed the villagers. A surgeon was sent for, who sewed up the wound. The t f,,i- se,ve Earl of Scarborough, whose scat is near the village, repaired to the spot, and on ascertaining the particulars, sent the police in all directions; and although Mr. Hatton, chief police olncer, and a considerable number of his men were on the alert scouring every place, no tidings of Woodward could be ascertained till Friday momim;, when he was seen to he crawling from under a hay-stack in his own parish, almost famished and i -e l ieii d e d bN starved to death. He was immeditaely apprehended by Superintendent Kindar and Inspector Caldwell, who conveyed him before the Reverend E.Dawkins, a magis- trate of the county. Thc woman being still alive, but without hopes of recovery, the man has been committed to the county gaol for further examination. To elude detection by his foot-steps being traced, it has been found that he walked backwards into the stack-vard, so that the marks of his feet upon the soft soil did not betray his hiding-place. Since his apprehensions he has admitted that he went into Wcllow-wood and lay there a day and a night, tvith a view of attacking a farmer whom he knew to be in the habit of passing through it, and his intention was to rob and murder h'm. Tiie farmer, however, having heard of the attempt to murder, and knowing that Woodward was a bad cha- racter, having fears least he should meet him in the wood, actually went a long way round, instead of going through the wood, and thereby, no doubt, saved himself from a.H<\ck,

GENTLEMEN—Without having personally solicited the v ote of a single Burgess, you have been pleased, for a third time, to Elect me a member of the Town Council For the gratifying distinction thus freely conferred, I offer you my sincere thanks. The position you have placed me in receives an additional value from the fact that almost every respectable Bur- gess in your Ward voted in my favour. Having no private pique to indulge, or personal views to serve, I flatter myself that you will always find in me an independent representative. Errors of judgment must frequently occur, requiring your forbearance and indulgent consideration but, for an unworthy, a wil- ful, or perverse action, I trust I may never have occasion to solicit pardon. What the future may produce is not for me to antici- pate, but time shall never obliterate the remembrance of your present cordial friendship and kindness. I remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant. WM. SIMONS. Quay-street, Jan. 5, 1846. CARMARTHENSHHIK SALE AT WHITLAND ABBEY, FIVE MILES FROM SAINT CLEARS. EI It.

MEDICAL, INVALID, AXD GENERAL LIFE OFFICE, 2,5, Pall-Mail, London, and 22, Nassau-Street, Dublin. Subscribed Capital, £ 500,000. nnHIS OFFICE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1841, and I possesses tables formed on a scientific basis for the assurance of diseased lives. The urgent necessity for an institution like the present mav be estimated by the statement that two thirds of the population are not assurable as healthy lives, and that about one in five of the applicants to other offices is declined on examination. Of the proposals accepted by this Society during the last three years nearly 300 had been rejected among upwards of 80 other offices. These cases came under the class of the most preva- ould lict ii,-?.ve lent diseases, and the various parties could not h&ve participated in the advantages of life assurance had not this Society been in existence, as it is the only one possessing tabulated rates of premium deduced from extensive data. Premiums have been determined for the assurance of persons at every age, among those amict-d with con. sumption, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, disease of the heart, apoplexy, paralysis, cpiiepsy, insanity, uisease of the liver, dropsy, scrofula, gout, rheumatism, &c. These circumstances induce the Directors to believe that bv the establishment of this office they have conferred an important benefit upon those whose condition made such a provision as assurance necessary, and they are therefore led to expect a powerful support from the public. INCREASED ANNUITIES are granted on unsound lives. HEALTHY LIVES are assured at lower rates t! an at most other offices, and a capital of half a HUion ster- ling fully subscribed affords a complete guarantee for the fulfilment of the Society's engagements.

Mons Sacer, 5th day before the Ides of Fellow Citizens and Countrymen,—From this 11:11, sacred to the rights of the people, I have already called upon you to rouse yourselves into energy and action, whilst there is yet time to shake off those degrading fetters which stamp you the slaves of the accidental possessors of a family estate—the passive tools of a line of useless patricians— .i to I)Iecd to day "The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to day. Hid he thy reason would he skip and play Pleas'd to the last he crops the flow'r)' lood, Aiitl licks the hand just raised to shed his blood." Shake off this disgraceful apathy-get rid of this un- manly servility—open and use your eyes, ears and mouths —call memory and reason to your aid, compare the past and the present—imagine the future—analyse the motives that influence you—investigate and discuss the principles which should govern the social contract. Understand your importance in the condition of that bond, and vin- dicate by words and actions the rights to which by nature and the social laws you are entitled. It is said that water always dropping will wear away the hardest stone.' Tims, then, by repeated and itnceasing calls may I hope to wear away the vis ttiertios of your latent power and action. Rouse ye then, oh tradesmen, artificers,and mechanics. I care not for your gentlemen. Think of the approaching general election. Look around for one who will be an honour to his constituents in the time of trial and of need—one whose sight extends beyond his nose—one whose judgment is not warped by prejudice, undeveloped by experience—one who, despite of every personal consideration, will watch and seize upon every passing event which will arise out ofthe present dawning of happier and more prosperous days, to elevate his con- stituents in moral estimation, and protect their worldly interests. Now is the time—if you hesitate you are lost. To break the thraldom of hereditary representation is the first object, ail the rest will follow in easy detail. Your present representative may, aye, will and must retire sooner III later—very soon. He will resign in favour of, and transfer you (willing serfs) to, one whose private friendship, or some secret understanding,prohibits his now coming forward voluntarily to offer you his par- liamentary services. In such a case you will still remain the out of door serfs appendant to the -estate. Elect for yourselves and banish every fear of consequences from your minds. The consequences'.—indeed. What would they be to the farmer who pays his rent? The lease- holder will be protected by his lease from ejectment, and the tenant at rack-rent will find hi security in the due payment of his rent. What then has lie to fear. Nothing. What has the fair trader to fear ? A loss of custom ? No, no A gentleman will not buy inferior goods, nor pay a higher price merely to oblige a particular trades- man. lie will wisely purchase that which suits his taste and his pocket best, but without regard to politics, and should one withdraw another will supply his place—like game in an open country, where one was shot another will'soon be found. What then has he to ft-ar ? Nothing! The hardworking honest artizan, and mechanic too, has his best dependence on his ingenuity. A fig then for patronage and particular support. Obligations are equal on both sides, and the necessities, the virtues, and the vices of men will preserve an even balance in the affairs of the world, whether local or general. Again, and finally, for a time, I ask you to slumber not whilst the cvve.s of the must accursed political slavery are being rivetted to your limbs. TKIBUNIS FLFISIS."
