 SIR, _- 
 
 Your patriotic Spirit in so prompt^" 
 ly acceding to the call of the Freemen to 
 espouse their cause at the late memorable 
 Election, emboldens me to address to you 
 the following concise History of the no- 
 ble struggle a select band of really Inde- 
 pendent Freemen has made at all times 
 against the Borough-mongering System ; 
 which, 1 hope, will conjoin information 
 with amusement. That you may long 
 live, and continue to perfect your patrio- 
 tic exertions in the glorious cause of root- 
 ing out Corruption in all its ramifications, 
 is the sincere wish of 
 
 Your respectful and 
 
 Humble Servant, 
 
 F. JOLLIE, sen. 
 Carlisle, July 4, 1820.
 
 To the Public. 
 
 The importance of the late Election was so highly 
 appreciated, that all classes of society throughout the 
 Counties of Cumberland and Westmorland deeply in- 
 terested themselves in the result it may be said, in- 
 deed, that the whole Kingdom looked upon th'e con- 
 test with anxiety ; for it was not a trial of strength be- 
 tween one aristocratical Family and another, for the 
 exclusive possession of patronage and power, but it 
 was a virtuous and manly struggle between a band of 
 Patriots (who had selected Mr James for their leader), 
 and all the Servility and political Influence which the 
 arrogating family of the Lowthers could muster against 
 them. The glorious result induced a wish in the Edi- 
 tor to see a concise Political History of theancient City 
 of Carlisle, drawn up with as much accuracy as possible; 
 more particularly so, from the lamentable fact of oral 
 records of past transactions being so soon swallowed up 
 in the tomb, and lost to posterity ; whilst the produc^ 
 tionb of the Press are comparatively imperishable^ 
 serving to stimulate, in distant ages, the fire of freedom 
 the inconquerable spirit of independence. With this 
 view, he undertook the little booJ< which he now sub- 
 mits to the Public. 
 
 The premature death of the late Mr. W. Jackson, 
 agent for J C. Curwen, Esq since his first election for 
 Carlisle, and who had in his possession all the poll- 
 books and other valuable documents, deprived the 
 public of the information contained in them ; as hie 
 executors, we have been informed, have ever since
 
 6 
 
 Itept them sealed up, and no inspection could be obtained 
 of them. The Editor was therefore led to seek for ma- 
 terials wherever they were to be collected. Very for- 
 tunately, he was possessed of a variety of original do- 
 cuments, which had been obtained at considerable ex- 
 pence, and not without some trouble, for the History 
 of Cumberland, but which the ulterior plan of that 
 work precluded inserting : these, with printed lists, 
 oral information, and the Editor's own recollection, has 
 enabled him to send forth the following concise Histo- 
 ry. He humbly trusts that the public will receive it 
 as it was intended, and what it really is not as a rhe- 
 torical panegyric but as a plain matter of fact narrative. 
 He wishes, however, that the undertaking had fallen 
 into abler hands ; but whatever may be its merits or 
 demerits, he can safely say, that he hat> " naught ex- 
 tenuated, nor set down aught in malice."
 
 STATE OF THE REPRESENTATION OV 
 CARLISLE, SINCE THE YEAR 1700. 
 
 AN giving a political history of the City of Carlisle, 
 as prefatory to the Tables of the State of the IV! 
 which form a part of this little work, die Editor is 
 desirous of premising, that lie has endeavoured, as 
 much as possible, to avoid any party discussion ; but 
 whilst he has been anxious to give an impartial narra- 
 tive of actual occurrences, he has not hesitated occa- 
 sionally to use that freedom of expression which if 
 would be slavishness to repress, when glaringly uncon- 
 stitutional agency was set to work. However, the 
 Editor submits to the public that this is 110 party pro- 
 duction : it is not meant as a toil to the Yellows 01 
 Purples, any more than to blazon the Blues but to 
 form such an electioneering history of the city, for I'M 
 years past, as will enable any one to form an adequate 
 idea upon the subject. As the earlier part of the late 
 Lord Lonsdale's electioneering campaigns may be new, 
 at this remote period, to the generality of our readers, 
 it is expected that the introduction of this article will 
 not form an unwelcome accompaniment to the state of 
 the polls which follow, &c. 
 
 -^ 
 
 So far back as the year 1700, continual increach- 
 rnents had been made upon the rights and privileges 
 of the Freemen. It does not appear that the sacred 
 franchise of election had been much regarded ; but 
 there were some substantial advantages the Freemen 
 enjoyed, which the all-grasping hand of power tool' 
 
 B
 
 under its own special protection sudi protection, we 
 mean, as the wolf gives to the lamb. The Kingmoor 
 estate had ever been deemed the right of the Freemen 
 at large ; and, as such, they had usage thereon for 
 depasturing their cattle, digging turves, &c. About the 
 year above-alluded to, the Corporation took upon them 
 ?o grant leases of several parcels of this common, 
 for the trifling acknowledgment of (3d. a-year. This 
 -vas at the time overlooked, which circumstance is a 
 tolerable commentary upon the subservient and tame 
 spirit of the electors of that day, until the Corporation 
 enjoyed by prescription wh:it undoubtedly belonged to 
 the citizens <t lur^e From the year 1738, downwards, 
 the affairs of the Corporation and of the Incorporated 
 Guilds were so managed, as to occasion universal dis> 
 gust, and to open the eyes ot the Freemen to the folly 
 of fliat quiescent policy they had so iong pursued. 
 Whilst submitting their concerns, without themselves 
 looking after them, to the disposal of men who can*! 
 more for the purse than for those to whose benefit it 
 oupht to be appropriated, the Corporation had got in- 
 to considerable arrears, which even at this day bang 
 as a millstone around its prosperity. 
 
 Early in the year of 1761, a dissolution of Parliament 
 took place. The city hud, for Home time previously to 
 this jrrportant aera of City politics, been represent- 
 ed by two General Officers of the Army, the Hon. Mr. 
 Howard and Gen. Sunwix, the latter of whom pre- 
 sided as Governor pf the place. It was at this time 
 that the Northern Baronet (subsequently the Earl of 
 Lonsdale), a man of unbounded ambition, and deter- 
 mined on the accomplishment of every favourite pur- 
 pOie, first opened his campaign of opposition to the rising 
 spirit of independence. The nominees of the Borough-' 
 numbering Diironet were General Stanwix, die old 
 Member, and the Hou, Mr. Vane, of the house of
 
 9 
 
 jjtaby. Several of the old ami patriotic Freemen, in- 
 dignant at the all -grasping and monopolizing spirit of 
 the Baronet, had an article drawn up and signed, offer- 
 ing to support the interest of any neighbouring gentle- 
 man, of constitutional principles, wlio would offer him- 
 self as a candidate. Their unanimous choice was fixed 
 upon Henry Curwen, Etq. of Workftigton-Hall,* :i 
 gentleman of ample property, and who had a heart too 
 British to entertain any other than popular and liberal 
 sentiments. A deputation from the convened association 
 was instantK dispatched to wait upon that gentleman, 
 who acquiesced without hesitation, and was most ho- 
 nourably returned in conjunction with Mr. Vane, Gen. 
 Stanwix having resigned upon the poll. 
 
 Notwithstanding the defeat of the Lowther faction, 
 Sir James, from this period, seems to have entertained 
 a fixed resolution to render the city subservient to hix 
 political designs. Discomfiture had only sharpened, 
 not blunted, the edge of his ambition, and, in- further- 
 ance olhis views, he availed himself of his interest with 
 the major part ot the Corporation, about the year 1763. 
 to procure himself to be made an honorary freeman pre- 
 viously to his acceptance of an Alderman's gown,j- not* 
 withstanding the spirited opposition of a minority of the 
 Aldermen and Common Council, who pointed out the 
 impropriety of electing into the Corporate body, one 
 who, it could not be supposed, would have any other 
 view in accepting the office, than what comported with 
 his own interest, and would tend to their disgrace; that 
 even the steps he had already taken were sufficient to 
 
 * Father-in-law to J. C. Curwen, E?q. M. P. for the County 
 
 of Cumberland. 
 
 f It wag usual, for many years pre^ioutly, to give to the Mayor. 
 on his accession to the Mayoralty, the compliment of making on* 
 honorary Freeman ; whi;h account! for a number of the gen 
 of the County bfiaj Freemen,
 
 10 
 
 convince them, that the wealthy Baronet meant to be 
 the leading man of the City, and that the const quen 
 of such an over-bearing predominance would be t 
 swallow up all that remained of their independency. In 
 tlie year 1765, a severe contest took place for ihc 
 cfvic chair of the City, between Sir James Lowther 
 and Henry Aglionby, Esq. of Nunnery, in which the 
 sfength of the Corporation was pretty equally divided ; 
 hut, though Mr. Aglionby was supported by the in- 
 fluence of the Duke of Portland, the superior force of 
 Sir James prevailed, and he was appointed to wield the 
 rod of justice : the arbitrary disposition of the Baronet 
 now became conspicuous in his distribution and depri- 
 vation of offices, and evinced how he was inclined to 
 lord it over the electors, had his power fully equalled 
 his will. 
 
 From this time party affairs began to run high. The 
 two opponents, viz. His Grace the Duke of Portland, 
 (who then had large possessions in the neighbourhood 
 of the City, and who espoused the cause of the Corpo- 
 ration defeated party ) f and Sir James, were exerting 
 all thsir interest to procure seats in Parliament for 
 their respective nominees against the next general 
 Election. 
 
 Prior to the year 1765, his Grace had appeared to act 
 only by his agents :but at the general Election in 1768, 
 ,M> formidable a front did Sir J. Lowther assume, that the 
 Duke deemed it expedient, in order to give a more power- 
 ful stimulus to the spirit of his followers, to take an active 
 personal part ; and certainly no Nobleman ever entered 
 4 city with more popularity than his Grace did Carli-le. 
 it was now evident that a contest both for the County 
 ;-nd City was inevitable: it was therefore reasonable 
 10 suppose, that the liarcnct would, for the sake of 
 funsolidating hi? political interrrt, now so powerfully 
 threatened, have exhibited a degree c % f ayr.cilv.ii-n iu-t
 
 H 
 
 hitherto usual to him ; the expediency of which, policy 
 might have suggested. But Sir James's temper was too 
 impetuous to be restrained bv prudential considerations ; 
 his violence knew no bounds ; he would adhere to no 
 measures that tended to counteract his ambitious views ; 
 and the consequence was, he found himself deserted by 
 almost every gentleman in the county of either princi- 
 ple or property. Now came " the tug of war": the 
 peace and tranquillity of the city became invaded, and 
 morality was outraged by scenes of the most shame- 
 ful debauchery and riot. This state of things continued 
 for several months, without any nominee on either side 
 appearing; but as the time a preached when the election 
 should take place, exertions and expenditure were 
 redoubled 1000, for the service of a single night, was 
 not regarded, and it is estimated that the whole co>t of 
 these memorable contests for the County and City was 
 not less than 100,000! an enormous sum indeed, 
 when we consider the comparative value of money at 
 that time and this. 
 
 His Grace's party first declared, and Lord Edward 
 Bentinck (heir to the ducal honours of the House of 
 Portland), and a Mr. George Musgrave, of the County 
 of Kent, were the Blue Candidates. On the other 
 side, two North Britons, Capt. Johnson and Captain 
 Elliot, were nominated two gentlemen of sufficient 
 respectability, but who had been unwarily drawn into 
 a contest in which, as being merely the cat's paws of 
 the great Chieftain, they could derive no honour, what- 
 ever might be the result. The Election continued 
 very spiritedly for five days, when Lord Edward an<l 
 Mr. Musgrave were returned. The following is the 
 . statement of the poll :

 It wax about this time that Sir James Lowtiier, with 
 a great deal of finesse, contrive;! to obtain from Go- 
 vernment a grant of the immense tract uf land com- 
 prizing the Forest of InglewooJ. which was previously 
 in the possession of the Duke of Portland. This was 
 a severe stroke to the pecuniary resources of his Grace ; 
 and, coupled with the circumstance of the Earl of 
 Carlisle and nearly all the country gentlemen bun;; 
 exhausted by their exertions in the great election, in 
 that year, both for the county and city, when tue 
 dissolution took place in the autumn of 1 7 74, then? 
 were none found to assist the old Member, Mr. G. 
 IVIusgrave, who purposed to offer himself; but so pre- 
 cipitate was the election, that it was not known in Car- 
 lisle that Parliament was dissolved, until the wily Ba- 
 ronet put the writ into the Mayor's hand on the Mon- 
 day, who immediately proclaimed the election to be 
 held on the Thursday thereafter. A pretty manoeuvre 
 this ! and one very elucidatory of die groat Borough- 
 monger's talent for intrigue. Mr. Musgrave was atthe 
 time beyond London, and not being a-.varc of the Duke's 
 necessity to refrain, at least fur a season, from involving 
 himself by actively participating in electioneering tur- 
 moils, hastened to Carlisle to submit himself to the 
 electors. A ttw respectable and independent Freemen, 
 thus taken by surprze, though despairing of being 
 able to return their old Member, yet determined that 
 the Baronet slouM not return his r*o nominees (Mr. 
 A. Storrer and Mr. Norton) without a struggle, sent 
 a deputation to Mr. Milbourn, of Armathweite, re- 
 questing permission to put him in nomination along 
 with Mr. Musgrave, to which he gave consent. The 
 poll opened on the day appointed ; but, as the Inde- 
 pendent part" (us mentioned before-) were deprived of 
 the support of almost every gentleman of influence, and 
 not being able to bring down distant voters, they wt-re 
 ob'iged en thn Saturday to give in, after polling IS*
 
 13 
 
 rc-sidenters* in Carlisle or the immediate neighbour- 
 hood. Storrer and Norton, consequently, were re- 
 turned. 
 
 To preserve t!;e memory of those virtuous and intrepid Free- 
 men, the Editor subjoins a list of their names. Very few, in- 
 deed, survive ; but the others, though dead, will, we trust, 
 speak from the tomb in the forcible language of example.

 The late Duke of Norfolk (then Mr. Howard), 
 was so charmed with the patriotic conduct of 164- men 
 MEN in the emphatical sense of the word who 
 claimed and exercised the right of thinking for them- 
 selves, disdaining to be influenced by any one, however 
 high his rank, or great his possessions ; that he began to 
 cultivate an acquaintance with them, and having taken 
 the requisite qualifications for a candidate, offered him- 
 self for their suffrages at the Parliamentary dissolution 
 in 1780; and, Sir James Lowther not daring to oppose 
 him, he wus elected along with the Baronet's nominee, 
 "William Lowther, Esq (the present Earl of Lonsdale), 
 without opposition ; and again in 1784-, in company with 
 Edward Norton, Esq the latter through the Lowther

 /inding himself unable by fair means to influence the 
 return of two members at Carlisle, thought of a new 
 scheme, which, with the connivance of his creatures, 
 he imagined could not fail to succeed. This notable de- 
 vice was to make Freemen of a great many of those he 
 could influence. With this view he prevailed on the 
 Corporation, in the Mayoralty of Jeremiah Wherlings, 
 Esq in the early part of 1785. to admit 1400 new Free- 
 men (significantly termed MtKnroomsjiritbom any legat 
 right or title ; most of these were his own tenants or 
 dependants. An opportunity offered of trying the 
 validity of these wholesale-made voters, at an election 
 about a year afterwards ; in March, 1786, on occasion 
 of the death of Lord Lonsdale's member, Mr. Norton. 
 The Freemen, justly indignant at his Lordship's con- 
 duct, and much alarmed at such a rapid stride of des- 
 potic proceeding, were called together by their other 
 representative, the Earl of Surrey, when the following 
 resolutions were unanimously carried : 
 
 ResdreJ, That the attempt to obtrude upwards of Fourteen 
 Hundred Strangers as Freemen cf this City, in the Mayoralty 
 of Mr. Wherlings, was a daring and outragesus violation of the 
 Rights of the Freemen. One dissentient. 
 
 Itesok-ed unanimontly, That it i the opinion of this Meeting, 
 that John Christian, Eq. be requested to offer himself a Can- 
 didate to represent this City by the election of the legal Free- 
 IT, en. 
 
 hesoh-cd unanimously, That it is the opinion of this Meeting, 
 that the appearance of a great majority of legal voters on the 
 day of election is highly essential, let the Mayor, by admitting 
 luch strangers upon the Poll, sliould make it necessary to peti- 
 tion the House of Commons to protect the legal Freemen in their 
 rights.

 Mr. Christian* with alacrity acceded to the request

 To prevent Mr. Christian's return, Mr. Lowther 
 offered 4-'28 Mushrnom Freemen, which Richard Jack- 
 son, Ksq. the Mayor, took as good votes, and returned 
 Mr. L. This caused Mr. C. to petition the House of 
 Common?, whose Committee declared that Mr. C. 
 ( ug'it to have been returned. 
 
 in October, 1786, the Earl of Surrey being called 
 to the House of Peers by the death of his father, an- 
 other vacancy occurred ; and, at a public meeting, tin- 
 Freemen made choice of Rowland Stephenson, Esq. 
 of Scaleby Castle, to oppose Edward Knubley, Esq. 
 Lord Lowther's nominee, who, not content with his 
 defeat before a Committee of the House of Commons, 
 determined to poll the Mushrooms again. The election

 The Mayor, Sir Joseph Senhouse, permitted a great 
 number of MushioQmi to poll for Mr. Knubley, whom 
 he returned upon a majority of their votes. Mr. S. 
 following the example of Mr. Christian, petitioned 
 against the return, and a committee determined that 
 Mr. S. ought to have been returned. Lord Lonsdale, 
 not content with two defeats, and despising, in the ar- 
 rogance of his power, even the solemn decision of the 
 Legislative Council of the Nation, determined to poll 
 his minions again ; and at the next dissolution in 1790, 
 J. C. Curwen and Wilson Bradyll, Esqrs. came forward 
 in the independent interest, and were opposed by J. C. 
 Satterthwaite, and E. Knubley, Esqrs. Messrs. Curwen 
 and Bradyll had a large majority of the legal Freemen ; 
 but the Mayor, Jeremiah Whtrlings, Esq. having al- 
 lowed the Mushrooms to poll again,* returned Messrs. 
 J. C. Satterthwaite and Edward Knubley, which caused 
 the others to petition Parliament against the return ; and 
 in March, 1791, as appears by the Votes of the House 
 of Commons, the Committee not only declared that 
 Messrs. Curwen and Bradyll ought to have been re- 
 turned ; but, to set the matter at rest for the future, 
 came to the following resolution : 
 
 " That die right of Election for the City oi Car- 
 lisle, in the County of Cumberland, is in the Freemen of 
 the said City, duly admitted and sworn Freemen of the 
 said City, having been previously admitted brethren 
 of one of the eight guilds or occupations of the said 
 City, and deriving their title to such freedom by being 
 sons of Freemen, or by service of seven years appren- 
 ticeship to a Freeman resident during such apprentice.-" 
 ship within the said City, and in no other." 
 
 Was not this a most gross and flagrant breach of the privi- 
 leges of the Commons ? Did the influence of the Nor;heru Le- 
 viathian shield from the Mavor's heiU the fulminatious of tb
 
 18 
 
 From this period to 1796. party ferments were rv 
 casionally the consequence of political agitation : but 
 though the satellites that revolved round the orbit of 
 the great Lowther luminary (whence alone they (It-ri- 
 ved what little importance they possessed) were most 
 obsequious to the attracting power, the hditor has no- 
 thing worthy to record until the memorable year, 179f7, 
 when ancient Carlisle witnessed the severest contest, 
 for energy and duration, that is to be found in elec- 
 tioneering annals. In despite of all the defeats he had 
 sustained frorr the unbought energies of a majority of 
 the Freemen, headed by a few patriotic characters, 
 who deprecated the popular interest being absorbed in 
 an overgrown aristocracy, the Earl ot Lousdale, stung 
 with disappointment that there was a goodly remnant 
 in Carlisle who would not "bow the knee to Baal,' 
 solved on a great and decisive effort. A dissolution of 
 Parliament, in 1796, affirmed our Champion of Cor- 
 ruption an opportunity of trying his prowess on the 
 largest scale possible: nor were the friends of indepen- 
 dence inactive, and their triumph may be said to have 
 shaken to the very centre of h II, the pillars on which 
 that arch-turmoiler endeavoured to build his uncon- 
 stitutional and overbearing influence. The following 
 is a state of the poll, which commenced on Wednesday 
 the 8th, and ended on Friday, the 24th June, 179G

 itpective guilds : having been refused ndnrssion to thei? 
 freedom by the Mayor, they tendered their vates fof 
 Mr. Curwen and Sir F. Vane, but were rejected. 
 The poll was protracted till the last moment allowed 
 by law : upon the close thereof a scrutiny was de- 
 manded by Mr. Knublev for himself and Sir JameS 
 Graham, and (without any ground for such a requisi- 
 tion being specified) immediately acceded to by the 
 Mayor. On Monday, however, the scrutiny was pre- 
 cipitately withdrawn, and the Mayor returned Mr. 
 Curwen and Sir F. Vane duly elected. 
 
 On the death of the Ear: of Lonsdale-(in his 64-th year} 
 which occurence took place at his seat at Lowther 
 Hall, on the 24-th of May, 1802, after a continued 
 routine of political bustle for 42 years, in which his 
 Lordship must have experienced the vanity of uncon- 
 trollable ambition and self-will ; Mr. Curwen under- 
 took the difficult task ef healing those breaches which 
 the spirit of party had created, now that the prime in- 
 stigator of them had gone to his last account. With 
 this view of conciliation, a meeting of theFreemen was 
 called by that gentleman on the morning of Friday, 
 the 18th June; when he announced to them, that 
 all parties were disposed to concur, subject to their 
 approbation, in using their utmost endeavours to do away 
 every remaining trace of the Mbshrooms, and to pro- 
 mote to the utmost of their ability every measure 
 which could give security and prosperity to the City 
 of Carlisle and the County at large. The boisteroug 
 elements of party, now that the master-spirit was gone 
 that <( rode upon the whirlwind and directed the 
 storm," were -tranquillized ; old feuds began to cease 
 being remembered, and society seemed settling into 
 its natural order. A dissolution of Parliament taking 
 place in the summer of 18?)~, it is apparent from 
 cut-feeding events that an understanding had been
 
 entered into between the two old contending interests ; 
 for S. Stanhope, Esq. was on Friday the 6th July 
 returned, under the influence of Lord Viscount Low- 
 ther (a relative of the deceased, then lately elevated 
 to the Peerage), along with J. C. Curwen, Esq. with- 
 out opposition ; on which occasion the latter gentleman 
 descanted upon the advantages that would result gene- 
 rally to the county hy an union of all the leading inte- 
 rests. However gralifving might be to many the pro- 
 bable extinguishment of the ancient feuds, resulting 
 from the coalition of the two parties ; it cannot be de- 
 .nied that it gave great offence to others, who consider- 
 ed that their franchises were compromised ; but it was 
 answered by the more moderate, that the mild and 
 conciliatory disposition of the present Lord was a suf> 
 ficirnt guarantee for his not entertaining the turbulent 
 projects of his deceased relative, and that it was mere- 
 ly captiousness, when the Freemen possessed fully as 
 much elective liberty as ever known, to cavil against a 
 measure which, in its general results, could not but 
 prove beneficial. The fallacy of this doctrine was 
 however afterwards experienced.-"Ye cannot serve two 
 masters." It i* impossible to halve independence; and 
 we are borne out by Mr. Curwen's subsequent asser- 
 tion, that a corrupt influence can never be beneficially 
 amalgamated with a pure one. 
 
 From that time, for some years, the annals of the 
 city present nothing worthy of particular record Mr. 
 Curwen and Mr. Stanhope being the Members return- 
 ed until the year 1812. After that period the mono* 
 tony of elections-of course was relieved by some spirit- 
 ed set-to's by the Fancy for St. Stephen's. 
 
 Mr. Spencer Stanhope, the Loxvther nominee, having 
 retired from the representation of the City, in 1812, 
 at which time a dissolution of Parliament took place. 
 Sir James Graham, 13urt of lidmond Civs tie, near
 
 21 
 
 Carlisle the Earl of Lonsdale's professional agent, and 
 himself the proprietor of the Borough of Ludgershall, 
 in Wiltshire, was brought forward by the Lowther 
 party. At the same time, Henry Fawcett, Esq. a gentle- 
 man connected with the India House, and nearly allied 
 to the highly respectable family at Scaleby Castle, was 
 induced to offer himself on the solicitation of a body 
 of Freemen, who were discontented with the conduct 
 of Mr. Curwen, in opposing the introduction of a bi!i 
 into the House of Commons, for seizing upon all Irish 
 and Scottish paupers, and casting them destitute upon 
 their respective countries.* In their addresses on the 
 occasion, both Mr. Fawcett and Sir James denied having 
 any connexion with each other. The former promised 
 particularly to attend to the commerce and prosperity 
 of the City ; and as trade at the time was very languish- 
 ing, and the distress suffered in the City almost extreme, 
 most of the manufactures, aware of that gentleman's 
 influence at the India House, and knowing, if the Di- 
 rectors permitted it, the vast capability of Histoostan, 
 to consume our manufactures, readily gave him their 
 utmost support. In his Address to the Freemen, Mr. 
 Curwen relied for support upon his long services, his 
 having ever honestly discharged his trust, and his 
 never having been " allured by personal or selfish, 
 motives to sacrifice the public interest to his own 
 advantage." Owing, however, to the reasons stated 
 
 This Bill, owing in a great measure to the spirited interfe- 
 rence of Mr. Curwen, was thrown our. It was unjust and bar- 
 barous in the extreme; unjust, because its provisions warranted 
 the apprehension of Irish and Scotch who had become charge- 
 ble to the parish, though they might have contributed by the 
 eiertion of forty years to the prosperity of the place, and tiuring 
 all that time paid parish rates ; so that they had an undoubted 
 right, in necessity, to receive support from that fund to which 
 they had contributed ; and birbarou?, to be cast upon a land where 
 they might be quite strangers, and without the means of subsisteacs.
 
 below, Mr. Curtven \vltlulrew his well-merited claims 
 upon the gratitude of the Freimen, to the sincere 
 regret of the numerous friends of that patriotic character, 
 ifho could not but consider the honour of the City tar- 
 imhedby proceedings that induced the long- tried cham- 
 pion of its rights to Ibrcgo an appeal to the justice anil 
 generosity of the Freemen. This resignation was at- 
 tended with no degrading circumstances as respected 
 himself: he retired from the arena of politics on \vhich 
 he had so often fought for the privilege? of his consti- 
 tuents, and conquered, to enjoy in the hosom of his 
 family and friends the cfium cmn dignitate.

 The election of Sir James Graham and H. Fawcett, 
 Esq. accordingly took place on Wednesday the 7th 
 October the Baronet was nominated by Humphrey 
 Senhouse, Esq. and Mr Fawcett by Mr. R. Sutton. 
 
 Previous to Mr. Curwcn's resignation, at a public 
 meeting of the Freemen, he gave them to understand, 
 that though he did oppose the Bill fur the removal of 
 Scotch and Irish paupers in the northern counties, it 
 was because the proposed measure was so evidently 
 fraught with injustice, and so liable to be made an en- 
 gine of oppression, that, when introduced into Parlia- 
 ment, it was deservedly scouted, and not even permit- 
 ted to pass to a Committee. At the same time he 
 professed his entire readiness to nave given his support 
 to a modified Bill for the relief of those counties which 
 were so much oppressed by being obliged to main- 
 tain foreign poor Mr. C. also took the opportunity 
 of rebutting certain scandalous and malicious assertions 
 against his private character; which were satisfactorily 
 proved to be the wicked fabrications of his political 
 enemies, for sinister purposes. 
 
 By reason of the death of Mr.Fawcett, on the 16th Feb. 
 1816, the result of an injury sustained on his foot by 
 the tread of a horse, Carlisle was destined again to 
 be the theatre of a contested election. At a meeting 
 held at tie Grapes inn, on Thursday the 22d February, 
 of the admirers of Mr. Curwen, it was determined to 
 exert every nerve to procure the return of that gentle- 
 man for his old seat. In answer to the call made upon 
 him by the independent Freemen, Mr. Curwen expres- 
 sed himself gratified by the mark of confidence and at- 
 tachment they had shewn to him. On Friday the 23d, 
 the venerable and venerated candidate arrived here ; 
 when the populace did ample amends for the injustice 
 .with which he had been formerly treated. He was 
 D
 
 met in the suburbs by an immense concourse of people, 
 *.vho were so eager in their demonstrations of regard to 
 the Father of the City (for he justly merits that title 
 for having saved it from the degradation of a pocket 
 borough) that the passage of his carriage was absolute - 
 Jy clioaked up, so that it was impossible to proceed ; 
 notwithstanding the earnest entreaties of Mr. Curwen, 
 the populace insisted upon taking out the horses, and 
 drew him in triumph into the city. Mr. Rowland Ste- 
 phcnson, a very young man, son of Mr. Stephenson, a 
 banker in London, a relative of the deceased Member, 
 and whose grandfather had formerly represented the 
 city, also arrived on the same day, at the invitation of 
 fomu friends of his cause ; and in answer to a publica- 
 tion signed ' An Independent Citizen" submitting to 
 the Freemen that the new Candidate's principles were 
 unknown, as he had not declared himself; he pat 
 Ibrtli an answer addressed " To the worthy and inde- 
 pendent Freemen of the City of Carlisle," avowing 
 himself an enemy to the income tax, as well as to all 
 other burdens imposed upon a free people in time of 
 peace : he avowed himself an advocate for practical 
 reform, but he was no advocate of" that visionary re- 
 form supported bv a factious party :" he did not con. 
 ccive a large standing army to be at that time neces- 
 sary ; he confessed himself as perfectly independent of 
 Ministerial'or any other party interest ; and if he should 
 be so fortunate as to be elected, he should always vote 
 accO.-ding to his conscience taking the sense of his 
 .->>n>tituents upon every question likely to affect their 
 local and other interests. 
 
 Stimulated by his friends, and hurried on by youth- 
 ful ambition, Mr. Stephenson actively plunged into th<* 
 vortex of a contest, probably without sitting down to 
 count the i-ost, though, in one of his addresses he boast- 
 ed of his large possessions ^in Cumberland with
 
 25 
 
 truth will speedily appear. In the mean while the 
 agents and creatures of Mr. S. endeavoured to further 
 that gentleman's cause by circulating various calumnie; 
 against his opponent : a mob is easily heated, and Mr. 
 C. and his friends received some insults, but the com- 
 mon sense of the populace soon overcame their delu- 
 sion, and the man whom interested agents would 
 cover with calumnious aspersions, becume more popu- 
 lar than ever. After a te\v days, however, of very 
 hard canvassing, Mr. Stephenson's ' spunk" was en- 
 tirely exhausted, or the riches of which he boasted had 
 taken to themselves wings ; for, without beat of drum, 
 or calling his creditors together, he shewed what in 
 pugilistic language is termed the ixhite feather ; for ho 
 absolutely ran away without making his devoirs to his 
 patrons, leaving behind him the following very satis- 
 factory explanation of his precipitate. retreat :

 | The friends of the late lamented Mr. Fawcctt ' 
 were nevertheless determined on some electioneering 
 sport; and having let one pidgeon slip out of their 
 hands, they determined to decoy and pluck another. 
 Sir Philip Musgravc, of Eden-hall, the young repre- 
 sentative of one of the most ancient families in the 
 North of England, and possessed of a very ample for- 
 tune, was fixed upon to be successor to the redoubted 
 Mr. Stephenson, It ought here to be remarked, that 
 up to this period the Musgraves had ever been associ-
 
 26 
 
 ated with the Blues, and had uninterruptedly ncei 
 hostile to the aggressions of UK posessorg of Lowther 
 Castle: it was therefore, to some, a matter of s'lrpri/e 
 that, on Sir Philip's being made acquainted with the 
 result of the meeting, he should so readily have agreed 
 to enter the lists against that cause hi- ancestors had 
 advocated, and against that man with whom his father 
 had been in habits of intimacy. On Thursday, the 
 29th, the nomination took place in the Town-hall, when 
 the late Mr. Thomas Stubb, manufacturer, proposed 
 Sir Philip Musgrave, and was seconded by Mr. John 
 Lowry, mercer and draper. Dr. Jackson, of Egrc- 
 mont, proposed Mr Curwen, seconded by Mr. \Vm. 
 Halton. Sir Philip was not present at his nomination, 
 not having arrived from his hunting-seat, in Yorkshire. 
 Mr. Curwen, in aduressing the meeting, entered into 
 an exposition of his political sentiments, in which he 
 evinced his attachment to true constitutional doctrine 
 of Sir Philip Musgrave he would only speak with re- 
 spect ; but he must regret that no gentleman had 
 favoured them with an exposition of the xvorthy IJaro- 
 net's principles and views: indeed, not oneuord had been 
 said in his favour, and it was most unjustifiably thru.-: - 
 ing him before the City of Carlisle, and the world at 
 large, who may suppose the incapacity of his proposer 
 and seconder attached even to thi- worthy Baronet. 
 
 The next morning (Friday) the poll commenced in a 
 spirited manner ; and on Saturday arrived Sir Philip, 
 whose appearance gave an increasing bustle to the tu- 
 multuous scenes of a contested election. On 1 ; . iclay 
 evening, the 8th March, the worth} Baronet, having 
 exhausted all his votes, declined the contest. and 
 yielded the palm of victory to his veteran antagonist ; 
 in spite of every effort of falsity and malignity, ;md 
 even of brute force, conjoined with all the artillery of 
 the Church militant, great and minor, and hcstt of
 
 magistrate?, placemen, and plaoe-bunters, to bear down 
 the cause of independence. 
 
 At the conclusion o*" this hardly contested affair, 
 Mr. Curwen, in a speech of much animation, com- 
 mented with severity upon the conduct of certain two 
 Magistrates, who had admitted a felon, brought out of 
 gaol, to vote for his opponent. After the duplex con- 
 duct of the House of Lowthtr, he hoped the peopled 
 eyes would be more opened to a sense of their degra- 
 dation under a Borough-mongering faction ; and that 
 the present trial of the real strength of a virtuous body 
 of men, with a combination of church and state, would 
 inspirit them, for the future, to return two independent 
 Members, and thus for ever get rid of the trammels of 
 party. 
 
 The following is the state of the poll since the com- 
 mencement : 
 
 lit day | 2d | 3d | 4lh | 5th | 6th | 7th

 In the month of June, 1818, another dissolution of 
 Parliament occurring, Sir P. Musgrave did not deem It 
 expedient to hazard another campaign : but his place 
 was supplied by J. W. Parkins, Esq. of London, a na- 
 tive of this City, and who had accumulated a large 
 fortune by succesful industry in the East Indies : this 
 gentleman proposed himself to the voters on the ground 
 of his perfect independence of all parties, his advocacy 
 of Parliamentary reform, his disinterested wish to serve 
 his country, and his knowledge and habits of active 
 business. Mr. Parkins arrived in Carlisle on the 12th 
 of June ; and was received, but by a inconsiderable 
 party of the Freemen. The next day witnessed the 
 arrival of Mr. Curwen, who rouid not prevail upon the 
 populace to desist from drawing his carriage ip.to the 
 City.
 
 28 
 
 The election commenced on Friday the 19th, and 
 the show of hands being declared in favour of Mr. 
 Curwen and Mr. Parkins, a poll was demanded, and 
 immediately proceeded in ; but, from the numbers at 
 the close, it was tolerably apparent, that Mr. Parkins'* 
 undisciplined and unorganized forces were by no means 
 equal to cope with his experienced adversaries;* there 
 being, for Mr. Curwen, 144, Sir James Graham 138, 
 Mr. Parkins, 26. The polling closed the next day, at 
 three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr Parkins having, 
 after repeated requests, consented to close. At that 
 time the state of the poll was as follows : 
 
 J. C. Curwen, Esq 250 
 
 Sir James Graham, Bart 225 
 
 J. W. Parkins. Ksq. 49 
 
 Though the representation of the City was again neu- 
 tralized by the discordant admixture of two clawing 
 interests, it was evident that the feeling was progres- 
 sively on the increase for tne perfect emancipation of 
 the City from borough-mongering bondage. iMay the 
 spirit of independence increase un'il its perfect con- 
 summation ! Owing to the disgust created by Sir J. 
 Graham, on account of his vituperative abuse of the 
 working classes of Carlisle, in the House of Commons, 
 when Sir R. Peel's bill was introduced for regulating 
 the hours of labour; his election chair was demolished 
 in the Hall, in the presence of the Court and Police, 
 and the fragments tossed about in triumph by tlte po- 
 pualce. During his passuage to the Bush Inn, escorted 
 
 We have heard considerable complaints made with regard to 
 the parsimony (to lay no more of it) of Mr. P. who carried hit 
 notion of purity of election to tuch an extreme, that it wia impoa- 
 tible for hi* caiue to proceed it vnt absolutely starved to death, 
 though it wai the opinion of many, that (he expenditure of let* 
 than ^100 in Uwful mutcm intimately connected with the indir- 
 pentible routine of contested elections, would fiiully have placed 
 him on ihe poll after Mr. CYrvrcn, but we believe no monty 
 could have gained hit election.

 by the whole posse of constables, and a number of 
 friends : several stones were thrown by the infuriated 
 multitude ; and we have good reasons for supposing, 
 that had not the Baronet taken this precaution, his life 
 would probably have fallen a sacrifice to popular ven- 
 gance, as it is understood that magazines of stones had 
 been prepared for the purpose. After dark, Sir James 
 drove off in his carriage, unobserved, as he thought, 
 but a strong party of the multitude had laid in ambusb 
 for him, on his road to Edmond Castle, who pursued 
 his carriage for a considerable distance, throwing stones 
 at it, and it was only by very hard driving he escaped 
 from his enraged pursuers. 
 
 The almost universal ruin that now seemed impend- 
 ing over the Country, owing to the pernicious system 
 pursued by Ministers, and which was matured by the late 
 Mr. Pitt, the "heaven-born Minister," had given a vig- 
 our to men's minds, which the sunnyj season of prosperi- 
 ty has a tendency to relax and weaken. Every one 
 but the interestedly blind was convinced, that to the 
 present constitution of Parliament, which was intended 
 for the people, but had proved a thorn in their side, 
 was to be primarily attributed the impoverished and 
 degraded state of; the people of these fealms. The 
 Lowther family had ever advocated those measures 
 that the wisest men and best patriots had depre- 
 cated, as the bane of the country: and as Sir James 
 Graham was considered as merely the mouth-piece of 
 that arrogant family ( though an estimable man in 
 private life), a number of the Freemen had it in con- 
 templation fully to vindicate their elective franchise 
 by returning two members of their own free and un- 
 biassed choice An opportunity speedily offered for a 
 trial of strength as well as of patriotism. The declin- 
 ing health of his Vlajesty George III. which threatened 
 a speedy catastrophe, occasioned unusual bustle through
 
 30 
 
 the electioneering districts : and at meetings held of 
 the independent Freemen of the City, it was finnlly de- 
 termined upon to solicit William James, Esq. of Hur- 
 rock-Lodge, a young man as independent in liis prin- 
 ciples as in his fortune, to lead the Hlues to an attack 
 upon the yellow fortress. That gentleman immedi- 
 ately acquiesed in the solicitation of the deputation, 
 though on the night preceding the day of nomination : 
 and a dissolution of the Representative body necess irilv 
 fbliowing upon the death of the King, a fresh election 
 was held on the 10th of March. Mr. James had pre- 
 viously addressed the electors, in which he expressed 
 his political sentiments, which were most congenial to 
 freedom. 
 
 There were three candidates, on this occasion : 
 .7. C. Curwen, E^q. nominated by the venerable Dr. 
 Jackson, of Egrcinont Sir James Graham, Hart, by 
 Sir J. Gilpin A. D. W. James, Esq. by Mr. W. 
 Gibbons. When Mr. Curvren rose to address the meet- 
 ing at the nomination, he was- not very courteously re- 
 ceived by the Mobocracy, \vho, it would seem, had er- 
 roneously imbibed an idea thut Mr. Curwen had been 
 instrumental in procuring the attendance of a body of 
 cavalry into the City, the introduction of which was 
 justly offensive. The reception, however, of the yclioiu 
 nominee was appalling, who, by his strange blundering 
 story in the House of Commons, of the manufacture of 
 pikes in Carlisle, and of at least 500 men being armed 
 with these weapons, to the great terror of the well dis- 
 posed inhabitants had incurred particular obloquy.* 
 
 We have teen advertisements in the Papers of iovUib'e hinge* 
 and invisible pilings, but never before I. card of inultlblc Pikes. 
 The information respecting these unique initrumrnts wai com- 
 municated to Sir Jamet by a certain plot-hunting magistrate, who 
 doubtlessly congratulated himself on his jooJ luck in being the 
 only one gifted with the tecand sight ; but which subsequently trr- 
 r,. ia-ited ia a. rupture.
 
 SI 
 
 The honourable Baronet appeared much irritated, and 
 insisted much upon the benefit the City had received 
 under his auspices. The Hon. Baronet certainly 
 did not receive the opprobium with as much sang froid 
 as if he was obtaining the smiles and sleek looks of the 
 Ministry, in return for acquiescing in a iarge grant of 
 money to a dutiful son for his filial piety to a sick 
 fatherthough he might comfort himself with the sage 
 observation, that though the mobocratic venom was 
 actually spit at himself, as the deputy, it was visually 
 intended to fall upon his principal. 
 
 The new candidate was received with much ap- 
 plause. He very modestly stated, that he came solely 
 at the invitation of the Freemen, to support their real 
 freedom : he stood alone and unconnected with any 
 party. Expressing himself a friend to reform, he 
 contended that there should be a very considerable 
 extension of the elective franchise ; and, with respect 
 to the duration of Parliaments, he considered it of con- 
 paratively little importance whether they were annual, 
 triennial, or septennial, if the people be truly repre- 
 sented The show of hands being in favour of Mr. 
 James, a poll was demanded : it was continued on the 
 second day , but, as no time had been afforded for 
 arranging the machinery necessary in contested elec- 
 tions Mr. James honourably declined unnecessarily 
 protracting the poll : the numbers being at 4 o'clock,

 When one takes into consideration that not a mo- 
 ment's canvassing had taken place, not a six-pence ex- 
 pended in treating, &c ; whilst Sir James's friends had 
 been actively employed for a fortnight, the state of 
 

 
 32 
 
 the poll was most consolatory to the advocates of inde- 
 pendence, and gave an assurance, which was not falsi- 
 fied, that the next struggle would prove eminently 
 victorious. 
 
 Mr. Curwen having been elected Member for the 
 County of Cumberland, as well as for the City, in 
 March, 1820(on which occasion Lord ViscountMorpeth 
 declined standing), great preparations took place 
 amongst the respective friends of the candidates for the 
 City, William James, Esq. of Barrock Lodge, and Sir 
 Philip Musgrave, Bart, who was again introduced by 
 his friends to the notice of the citizens of Carlisle.*- 
 
 On this occasion, Sir Philip Musgrave having received from 
 Lord Morpeth'i agent, inCockermouth, on the Friday evening, the 
 1-rst day of polling, information that Lord Morpeth would de- 
 ciiiie ; in consequence, the worthy Baronet set off in the middle 
 cf the night, and reached Carlisle to early in the morning, that he 
 absolutely commenced canvassing by eight of the clock; whilst 
 Mr. Curwen and his friends received no information of hi* Lord- 
 ship'* intention of deciuing a contest till 10 o'clock on the tame 
 Saturday morning 
 
 To counterbalance therefore, as much a* possibly, the advan- 
 tage which Sir Philip had obtained in the start ; a meeting of 
 the Freemen, friends to independence (\V. Hilton, E*q. in the 
 Chair), was held at the Crown and Mitre, on the evening of the 
 same day, when the following resolution* were unanimously pasted : 
 
 Resolved, lt. That Carlisle, being a free and independent City, 
 can never submit to a Monoply in its representation, or to a com* 
 promise of it* dearest right* and privileges. 
 
 Sd That, in order to prevent our City from being reduced to 
 the condition of a close Borough, and to item the torrent of a 
 dangrrou* and over-growing power, rnult-n^ from the local influ- 
 ence of the Earl of Lonsdale aod the Corporation of the City of 
 Carlisle, we are determined to support only such men a*, by their 
 independent conduct and upright principles, can and will exert 
 thrmielves to secure our constitutional Liberties, fearltti of every 
 ipecict of aristocratic Influence.
 
 33 
 
 Had Sir Philip come forward under other auspices 
 than those to which he yielded, it is very probable that 
 
 3d. That we see, with considerable astonishment and surprise, 
 an advertisement issued by Sir P. Musgrave, Baronet, declaring 
 himself a Candidate for our suffrages, and professing to be ' An 
 Independent Man, and attached to no party," when the uniform, 
 conduct of that Gentleman has been a servile adherence to the 
 House of Lowther, and in the direct violation of the principles of 
 Independence. Men are better judged of by their actions than 
 their professions. 
 
 4th That the Gentleman who appears most eligible to our 
 Choice, and whose general qualifications are at present most con- 
 genial with our patriotic Views, is WILLIAM JAMES, Esq. of 
 Barroclt-Lodge, whom we solemnly pledge ourselves to support 
 with our most vigorous exertions and unceasing energies. 
 
 5th. That the Friends of rational Liberty and genuine British 
 Freedom are so numerous, and manifestly so staunch and cordial, 
 as to leave not the smallest doubt of the utter defeat of our ad- 
 versaries, and the return of the man of our choice. 
 
 6ih. Tnat a Committee be now formed of the following Gen- 
 tlemen, to carry into effect the above resolutions, viz : 
 
 William DoUmon 
 Thomat Halton 
 John Blandre 
 John Andrew 
 G. Porter, Cardtw 
 John Matthews 
 Thomas Harrington 
 
 James Monkhouse 
 William Bell 
 John Be.ck 
 i'/iltiam Gibbons 
 James Uolmet 
 Robtrt James 
 John Mitchell 
 
 WILLIAM HALTON, Esq. in the Chair. 
 
 7th The Chairman having left the Chair, and Mr. Monk- 
 house having taken it 
 
 Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this meeting be given 
 to Mr. Halton for his independent conduct io the Chair. 
 
 With these resolutions a deputation was dispatched to Bur- 
 rock-Lodge, forthwith; and on the Monday following, the Can- 
 didate elect formally received, from the hands of Mr. Curw-n, 
 the Blue Flag under which he had for thirty-Sve years gallantly 
 conducted the Freemen to victory over their political enemies.
 
 34 
 
 no opposition would have been made to him ;* bat 
 submitting himself to the same guidance that led hiru 
 astray on a former occasion, it was no wonder that a 
 similar result should occur. As Sir Pltiip's cause was 
 openly patronized by the yellow party, with the family 
 of Lowther at its head, it was apparent that the Blues, 
 if they wished to maintain their consideration, and pre- 
 serve inviolate the independence of the city, could not 
 do otherwise than maintain Mr. James's claims to the 
 suffrages of the Freemen : that Gentleman had candid- 
 ly and unhesitatingly declared his political sentiments, 
 whilst his opponent always sedulously blinked an ex- 
 press declaration of his opinions : besides, his con- 
 nexion with the Borough-mongering family was more 
 than suspicious. 
 
 In the interval pending the election, the moat stre- 
 nuous effoits were made by the partizans of the Eden- 
 hall candidate to ensure success, and many were the ex- 
 pedients adopted for this purpose. 
 
 The Election came on at the Town- Hall on Wed- 
 nesday the 24th May, 1820 Thomas Blamire, M. D. 
 Mayor, being the returning officer. 
 
 Sir Philip Musgrave was nominated by Sir Jo', n 
 Sewell and seconded by Mr. R. Lowry; when Sir P. 
 stood up, and, in his address to the Freemen, in which 
 he disclaimed all connection with the House of Lowther 
 (though he admitted that he had supported the Mern- 
 icra of thai family,)-. he promised to adhere to the po- 
 
 Sb PhHip'f ancfitors were mot of thnn men of popularity, and

 litical line of conduct pursued by the late Mr. Fawcett. 
 Dr. Jackson, of Egremont, nominated Mr. James, and 
 was seconded by Mr. Brougliam*(her Majesty's Attor- 
 ney -General), in a speech of some length, in which he 
 insisted that Sir Philip Musgrave was essentially of 
 yellow principles, and, however he might deny it, it 
 was evident that he both was, and would be, led by the 
 family of Lowther Castle. In addressing the Hall, 
 Mr. James explicitly avowed (which his opponent did 
 not) his attachment to Parliamentary Reform, on which 
 he conceived the salvation of the country to depend : 
 the cause, he observed, was not merely his own it was 
 their's which he wished to support he only desired to 
 be the humble instrument of retaining to the Freemen 
 those rights which, without their exertion, might be 
 lost to them for ever. 
 
 The polling immediately commenced ; and it is not 
 surprising that in the fervor of contest some trifling 
 outrages should have been committed, though they 
 never exhibited that degree of atrocity as in the smal- 
 lest degree to warrant the introduction of the military, 
 who formed in front of the place of polling with loaded 
 muskets ! This wanton violation of the sacred freedom 
 of election is bj no means attributable to Mr. Mayor, 
 who, as well as Sir Philip Musgrave, totally denied all 
 knowledge of the unconstitutional proceeding; but we 
 have the pledge of Mr. James (which we doubt 
 
 * It may not be amiss h?re to notice, that an anrrtor of the 
 Learned Gentleman was a Representative of Carlisle it a 
 early period. In the Parlian-.rnts of the 28th and COfh 
 II. we find Jchn Dt Brugham ; and, in the 7th of the sitne 
 :he ame person, at Merr.ber for the county.

 not he will redeem), that he will bring forward the 
 matter regularly before the House of Commons. 
 
 Every day, during the continuance of the poll, the 
 Court was thronged to excess, but, though the popu- 
 lace, as usual on such occasions, gave considerable 
 license to their wit, no interruption to the business 
 took place. It is worthy of remark that the names of 
 the Freemen who began and concluded Mr. James's 
 poll were Mr. Brougham (her Majesty's Counsel), and 
 his brother, James Brougham, Iiscj. of Brougham Hall. 
 On Wednesday morning, the 31st May, the Hon. Ba- 
 ronet's votes being altogether exhausted, notwithstand- 
 ing every endeavour to keep open the poll, Mr. James 
 was declared the returned Member amidst as loud shouts 
 of gratulation as ever caused the roof and walls of the 
 ancient Town- Hall to ring. 
 
 We now give an abstract of the state of the polling 
 from the commencement of this severe contest, pre.oi- 
 sing that the majority of 86, which crowned the patri- 
 otic efforts of principle and independence, was precise- 
 ly the number that, in 1816, Mr. Curwen was a-heaii 
 of the unsuccessful candidate. State of the Poll-com-

 The ceremony of chairing took place the same after- 
 noon, amidst as great a concourse as we have seen fur 
 4-3 years past, who were all anxious to testify their re- 
 gard to the successful candidate. Though it rained 
 during the whole time, the procession of Mr. , lame* * 
 friends, with banners and music, attended him 
 through all the principal streets, and deserted not their 
 colours until the ceremony was finished, though many
 
 37 
 
 of them were provided with neither great coats nor 
 umbrellas, and were consequently drenched to the skin. 
 Besides the exulting spectators who filled the streets, 
 almost every window was graced with elegantly dressed 
 ladies exhibiting blue favours, whose waving of the "ce- 
 lestial blue" contributed not a little to the interest oi 
 the scene. From several houses blue banners were 
 depended, bearing appropriate inscriptions : amongst 
 others we remarked a blue flag displayed from the 
 Grapes inn, with the inscription, " May honesty ever 
 prevail ;" another from the Pack-horse inn, " James 
 and true Independence ;" one from the house of 
 F. Jollie, sen. with the motto of "An Independent 
 Press and Parliamentary Reform ;" and one from the 
 Lien and Lamb inn, with " James and Independence." 
 It was upward of an hour before the ceremony was 
 concluded; and never, perhaps, did any Member of 
 Parliament, on such an occasion, receive greater proofs 
 of popular affection than did Mr. James on this. Af- 
 ter the chairing he addressed the assembled multitude, 
 thanking them for their kindness and partiality, and 
 promising them that he would never be inattentive to 
 the good of his country. The following is Mr. James's 
 excellent address on the conclusion of the election : 
 Barrock Lodge, June 1,1820. 
 
 TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE 
 CITY OF CARLISLE. 
 
 Gentlemen, your wishes, and my highest ambition, are at length 
 accomplished. 
 
 After au arduous Contest of Seven Dayi, you have returned me 
 your Representative to Parliament. It i impossible for me to 
 express, in adequate terms, the sentiments of gratitude and exulta- 
 tion which animate me on the occasion. 
 
 Assailed as you have been by every engine calculated to shake 
 c-.iinary minds, you have persevered in maintaining your Inde- 
 pendence both local and politic.*! ; lud if in eo doing you have
 
 38 
 
 rr red in selecting so untried a champion as mysrlf, it hat been 
 aa error from which, I trust, neither von nor the cane will suf- 
 fer. ID yielding to your unbiassed choice, I devote myself in fu- 
 ture to your service: though, in comparing my humble abilities 
 with those of the distinguished and patriotic Gentleman to whom 
 I succeed, I feel and confess my inferiority ; yet, in attachment 
 for your rights, and in zeal for your interests, I will not yield to 
 him or to any man. My views, upon subjects of general policy, 
 have been repeatedly and unequivocally laid before you. With 
 reference to your local interests, I must repeat my fixed deter- 
 mination to resi, unceasingly, all aristocratical interference. 
 Entering for the first time upon public life, I shall have frequent 
 occasion to solicit yoiT advice and indulgence. To those who 
 have honoured me with their suffrages I ewe my warmest ac- 
 knowledgments ; and towards those who have not, the only 
 sentiment in my breast is a wish to conciliate their esteem, and 
 to obtain their confidence. 
 
 Permit me to conclude with expressing a hope that I may be 
 enabled to carry to the great Council of the Nation some portion 
 of that spirit, patriotism, and independence, which, CD this memor- 
 able occasion, has actuated my Constituents. 
 
 I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, 
 
 Your faithful and obliged Servant, 
 
 WILLIAM JAMES. 
 
 Thus ended this memorable contest, which reflects 
 so much lustre upon the virtuous character of the ma- 
 iority of the Freemen. The hopes of the corruptions^ 
 have vanished; and the friends of liberty, reanimated 
 \.y victory, not over an individual, but a SYSTEM that 
 threatened 10 annihilate the elective franchise, ere 
 determined to proceed in their glorious career, and to 
 root out for ever the pernicious yellew influence. I: 
 is evident that it only requires the will to effect this, 
 and we believe the will is not wanting.

 was not a. man to be easily dashed by a '< rabble-rout," 
 and was e?coned in his triumphant procession by a 
 gallant band of Freemen, who had sworn to defend the 
 man of their choice, and the principles which he and 
 'd The ruffians, however, bold in thei-

 exercised their physical strength, arid tore up the 
 pavement to act a> missiles of aggression : human 
 endurance could, however, .proceed DO farther the 
 Blues iusitatt d not in thfir self-defence; and in a short 
 time were the cowardly assailants driven out of the 
 city, after attempting, in vain, to entrench themselves 
 in the premises and garden of the Earl of JLonsdale 1
