6 differed with liim entirely, because lie was a supporter of an execrable Administration,— of men who were inimical to the nation, who had trampled on the rights and privileges of the people, who had unnecessarily and unconstitutionally suspended the Habeas Corpus Act, and who had iinpr^ ou^ d and put in irons numbers of innocefil inen, and then scoffed at their applications for redress. " I say," added Mr. Allix, " these things were u?) nece* sarih/ done : had there been a rebellion in the land, I myself would have been one of the first to step forward tore- press it, for I yield to none in genuine loyalty — but my loyalty consists in an attachment to those great principles of public li- berty which placed the House of Brunswick on the Throne, and by which alone they are rightly maintained there. Mr. Allix then adverted to the standing army which was kept up, and pronounced it a dangerous innovation on the Constitution, which the wise men of former days would not have endured. It was by keeping up excessive places and pensions that Ministers maintained those wrongs, overwhelmed the country with taxa- tion, and granted relief only when they wer& forced to do so.— It was on these public grounds only that he objected to Mr. Chaplin, who was favourable to such men, and that he sup- ported Sir R.

Mr. Allix next adverted to attempts which had been made to calum- niate the private and public character of Sir R. Heron, whom he extolled as a good friend, an excellent neighbour, and a magistrate active and impartial, who never had allowed his po- litical principles to interfere with his magisterial duties, fie had been called an enthusiast— and an enthusiast certainly he was, but his enthusiasm was in the love of his country, and in a detestation of tyranny and oppression. It was on these grounds that he ( Mr. Allix) heartily seconded his nomination. JOHN CRACROFT, Esq—" Mr. Sheriff, and Gentlemen Freeholders,— I need not remind you of the eminent services rendered this county by our late worthy representative Mr. Chaplin, whose loss we have reason to deplore as a public one, his own family that of a kind father, and his tenants that of a generous and indulgent landlord. Much has been said about taxes, but without them this country could not exist. To the agricultural part of this county I may appeal ; they are now in a state the most prosperous; and that the manufacturing dis
