Perhaps no circumstance so minutely connected with fte principles of Radicalism kas occurred , since the passing of the humbog Kefonn Bill , as the Election wMch has recently taken place in the Borough of Mary-le-bone . A party whether social or political , lias invariahly some distinguishing mark , token , quality , or motto , which serves as a bye-vrord or rallying point for Its disciples , in eases of muster or display . The struggle since a monied qualification became the test of electoral fitness—has
been between non-elective influence and elective power . Union , determination , and action , being all that was left to the disfranchised party , the herald of their principles roused them to action by the words -agitate , —agitate , —agitate , which were first used , by the Marquis of Anglesey , as a recommendation to the Irish People , as the best means of effecting Catholic Emancipation . These were words calculated to osite those who were not represented in the House of Commons . But the ^ ratchword
of tiie Electoral body , vho did not - require to be roused into action more than once in every year , and that at the period of registration , was seldom proclaimed and never but in season . Thus we find the great sentinel of the monied party , Sir ROBERT Peel , after the recent election , at the Tamworth Dinner , meeting the roar of ¦ " agitate—agitate—agitate , " with the scarcely audible , but impressive , and well echoed response , — " register , —register , —regis t erv " The bnsy buzz which carried the Reform "Bill , carried with it a conviction to the
inmblest mind , that a new era was about to arise , when each man was to be in pan the controller of his own actions . But isir KOBEBT and his party knew full well that however Whig delusion may , during a short period of excitement , eabn toe angry feelings of a long disappointed people , that In this- country above all others—where money had hitherto been the guide of principlea monied qualification for an electoral body was sure to settle down in the appointment of monied representatives . It wili be remembered that in 1835 , Sir ROBERT PEEL met the country with a House oi
Commons called " Peel ' s Parliament , wherein ne was defeated : and that Lord MELBOURNE held power with the ? ame Parliament till the demise of the late King . Nor would Lord ^ MELBOURNE have dissolved the" Peel Parliament / ' had it not been necessary by the Constitution . Our leaders are aware that a Parliament e ; m -s : i for six months after the demise oi" ( lie Monarch ; but so intimidated was he by the manner in which the franchise hud
degenerated into a monied qualification , that he dared not try the effect of the- registration of 1836 : and therefore by a-hasty , -and we may add , premature dissolution , he excluded a large bod y of electors who bad ripened into nearly maturity . The effect produced by the recent elections was not lost sight of by Sir ROBERT in his admonition ; for he found that after the display of " The virtuous Queen and Reform ' upon the Whig banners , Lord ! Mel-BOUSXE was in a worse position than that in -R-Mcb the "Peel Parliament" bad
placed Mm , and he shrewdly said to himself , " If one registration has given us such -a triumph , what will not another do for us ? The fact , then of Lord Teigxmouth being the . present representative for the Borough of Mary-le-bone has not been produced by any re-action in the public mind , but has been effected by a strict obedience to the injunction of the Right Honourable Baronet , communicated in the words * " register—register—register . '" It is therefore we look upon the election of Mary-le-Done as the most important political event which has recentlv occurred . The
deduction which the Country must naturally draw from the circumstance is this : that had the late Parliament been allowed to die a natural death , and had the registration oi 1836 been brought into operation , the Tories would have had a powerful majority at the present moment in tlie House of Commons . And with this fact now before them , that party will not cease until by trick , manoeuvre , or stratagem , they ¦ shall have again regained that which ever forms the bone of contention
between contending factions in this -country—viz ., the Treasury . But now -we come to speak of the treachery of H"U-ME , Ewart , and tbe base TVbigs of Mary-le-3 > one towards Colonel Thompson , tbe Kadical candidate . Has it not ever been the practice with these ruffians to delude us by recommendations of " Union" amongst all classes of Reformers : and is it not now
plain to every thinking mind that the projected tf Union means nothing more than a surrender of our principles and a base subserviency to their fell dominion . Radicalism is , thank God , a 3 it were the axle xrpon which henceforth tbe whole politcal machinery of this country must turn : and yet we find that out of a constituency of more than 11 , 000 not more than 211 are found to vote for the representative of that party who are to be forever bound by some maeie spell to the chariot wheels of
Wniggery . They nse the old nursery tale of " won ' t you come with us to Bradford , although it may not be convenient to travel together to Keigbley ; " but they invariably ^ accompany us with a dark lantern in their nand and when we have passed through the thorny and dangerous part of the journey ¦ they extinguish the light upon us and say , '¦"¦ good night Mr . Radical , ! can go through the plain and daisy pathby myself . " When nave we ever joined them that their triumph was not our disaster ? When have we
ever fought with them that the victory was not theirs , while the tail was left as our recompense ? And yet the slovenl y GJironicle and the tc Eclipsed" Sun are inhi ^ h dudgeon at the disunion caused by 211 intrepid electors standing up for principle and honour . If the object of the Whigs was really to have beaten the Tory , why not withdraw their " beau ideaV of an Eng-

lish country Gentleman , and allow Colprai THOMPSON to represent the growing intelligence of his party in Parliament ? But no ; such a colleague would not suit * Brown Bread Joseph" and his party , who would rather see the devil than an honest Radical walking into the House of Commons . How dajgj ^ his " rejected" of Middlesex with his ^^ fbked out" of Liverpool , thus oppose the representative of those principles which they both profess to admire but dare not support ? ¦
Mr . Murphy and Mr . Harvey have also come in for a portion of the slaver of XheChro 7 iicIea . n& the Sun , while their conduct merits the approval of every honest man . -So far from reviling Mr . Harvey for his conduct upon the recent election , we could , only wish that his devotions at the shrine of Radicalism were less like angels visits , so " few and far between . " Mr . Harvey has all the eapabilitie | jMeessjtry for a political character , but we nrast in justice say fhat some powerful demonstration of this kind in favour of pure -Radicalism was absolutely necessary to wipe out the several blots which his political character has sustained during the present session . If he persevere in bis present course we .-ball endeavour to forget that he voted -against Mr . Wakley ' S amendment at tbe commencement of the session , and we « hnll also bury in oblivion his conduct with respect to the Cotton Spinners , and Mr . FlELDEX ' s motion upon tbe Poor Law Amendment Act . He is sharp , witty , intelligent , and eloquent ; but we would much prefer one scruple of conscience to . " those several qualifications . As to MlTBPBY , the honest intrepid
MURPHYthe opinion of the country is unchanged and unchangeable ; he is stern , bold , eloquent , and consistent , always ready for his work , and always working for the people . We trust that tlie Radical ELctors and Nonelectors of the empire -will henceforth take warning by what is meant by " a union oi Reformers , '' and that they will unite and make the most of their strength for their own
use , behoof , and V > eneht . And inasmuch as it is impossible that three political parries can exi ^ t in a state , let us martial and prepare our force .-, so that upon a coming election we can turn them to the best purposes for our party . We will , then , for their guidance , suppose a case and take the Borough of Halifax as an illustration , wherein there may be a constituency composed o \ ' 350 Wlue . * , 300 Tories , and 120
Radicals . The duty of the Radicals in such case i ? to form an Election Committee , and of all pledges , to require that one pledge of Annual Parliaments , namely— -that their man , if elected , shall instantly resign when called upon by a majority of the committee . This being done , let them then wait upon the Committee of the least obnoxious Candidate , and say to that Committee , " Will vou tuke cnir mnn with vours" ? " Should
the answer be in the negative , let them < jo to the Committee of the other antagonist : and say unto that Committee , " Will you take our Candidate with yours ? "' And should that Committee also refuse , let neither intimidation , threat , nor reward , induce them tn vole for either party , but let them take the show of hands for their man to rest the principle of Universal Suffrage : then let them poll to the last for their own Candidate , and constitute him the elected and reco < mised
leader of their principles in all political agitation . By this means we would ere long be enabled to prove that it is wholly incompatible with justice , that a large and virtuous majority should be bound by the whim , the prejudice , and the caprice of the nominees of a small and profligate minority We pledge ourselves that every Borough in Lancashire and Yorkshire , shall be contested upon this principle on any future election which we may live to see . We
now ask , after the result of the Mary-lebone election , can anv man . in his senses doubt that the tendency of a money-qualification will lead , without distinction of political name , to the representation oi wealth and to the prostration of industry . Thus dividing society into two classesviz . the rich oppressor nnd the poor-oppressed , the meaning of which the editor of the Bolton Free Press affects not to comprehend ; and which can be only prevented by Universal Svjpraye which we MUST and WILL have .

- - — . MAGISTERIAL JUSTICE . "A case of great hardship and unfairness -was heard "before the Leeds Magistrates on Thursday . It seems that a raFe collector had conceived , for some reason , a pique against a rate-payer , and that he consequently , knowingly and wilfully , set down in his b . ooks and demanded from the rate-payer a considerably higher sum than he was fairlv or leeallv entitled to demand . Tin ' s
is proved by the collector ' s own admission . The man demurs to the payment of an extravagant charge and is summoned : the Magistrates having heard the ease decide that . the collector has acted improperly : they fix the amount to be paid at 6 s . less than tbe Collector demanded , but they throw the expenses of the summons on the injured rate-payer . So , here is a man not only robbed of his time in having to leave his ordinary business and attend the Court
for the purpose of resisting an unjust and and villainous demand , but he is also robbed of four shillings , for being allowed to prove that the demand is unjust . That is , in plain terms , the Magistrates rob the man of four shillings for allowing him to prove before them that the Collector had tried to fob Mm of 6 s . Now if we suppose that the man spent half a day in running after
this piece of villainy , and value that half day a . t half a crown ; add that to the four shillings costs , and the obtaining of justice , besides subjecting him to a large share \ of annoyance , cost him sixpence more than submitting quietly to be robbed in the first instance . This is one way of redressing injuries . Hereafter , whenever a rascally taxgatberer conceives a spite against any

one , he has only to demand fix > m Mm dpu * ble the legal amount of his taxes , and so get the magistrates to gratify his spleen under cover of doing justice . W
