TO THE ELECTORS OF HA VE R F O R D WEST, F ISH G U A R D, AND NARBERTH. GENTLEMEN, The political contest in which we have been so long engaged has at length come to a close, I deeply regret with a result so unfavourable to the Con- servative and Constitutional cause, which has so long prospered in your Boroughs, I however, see no reason for discouragement. Influ- ences new and strange have been introduced into this conflict, which probably will not arise in future E'ections. A new and enlarged constituency has been called on for the first time, to make use of that franchise en- trusted to it by the party now in power, and which it was not unreasonably supposed would have been exer- cised in favour of those who had conferred the benefit. A religious question, and one I believe striking at the very root of the constitution, has been before you. Romanists and many Dissenters have united in an attack on that Church which has so long been the glory of our land and though, doubtless, the end desired by each has been different, the means used to produce it has caused an union of forces no other question could have created, thus tending to my defeat. One pleasing duty yet remains,-to return my warm and heartfelt thanks to those who have firmly and manfully stood by the promises made to me, and who evinced-it possible—even greater kindness in the hour of defeat than when struggling with every hope of victory. To the inhabitants, "one and all," of the United Boroughs, I beg respectfully to say, for the present, Farewell, and to express my obligations for the con- sideration and courtesy so generally. extended to me. That great prosperity may flourish in your midst is my heartfelt wish. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL PITMAN. Haverfordwest, 20th Nov., 1868.

HAVERFORDWEST ELECTION. A considerable portion of our space being occu- pied this week by local election intelligence, we t, are prevented from doing more than referring zn 0 briefly to the result of the contest in the Ha- verfordwest Boroughs. The Liberals have suc- ceeded in reversing the luck they have expe- rienced in their previous battles, and have at last won a victory. The choice of the. electors has fallen upon the Liberal Candidate, who obtained a majority of 141 votes over his oppo- nent. The Conservative party, though de- feated, are not disheartened they fought the battle under such disadvantages as they never before bad to contend with. Their candidate, it is true, was a gentleman of great ability and pos- sessed qualifications which would have made him a worthy representative of any constituency; but at the same time lie was, comparatively speaking, a stranger to the great body of the electors, and this circumstance alone severely affected his prospects of success among a Con- stituency which has ever manifested the strongest regard and affection for local ties and old associ- ations. But Mr Pitman, if he was not success- ful in the parliamentary fight, has yet in other respects achieved something of which he may be proud :—he has won the goodwill and esteem of the entire Constituency by his gentlemanly bearing throughout this very long contest. The defeat he has suffered rather seemed to increase than diminish the ardour of his friends, and the demonstration in his favour at the close of the battle resembled one in honour of a conqueror rather than of a defeated candidate. The triumph of I iberalism, we have every reason to believe, will be of brief duration. Popular and highly respected as is the gallant represen- tative of Liberal princ'ples, we do not believe that, even under his leadership, the Constituency will consent to wear its new political garb for any length of time. Pembroke has indignantly thrown away the Liberal suit, and their old clothes" ill fit the Constituency of Haverfordwest, The Conservatives still retain their faith in the old cause, and look forward with every confi- dence to the results of a future election restoring them to their old position in the Haverfordwest Boroughs.

THE HAVERFORDWEST ELECTION. TUESDAY. The nomination of the candidates for the represen- tation of Haverfordwest took place at the Shire Hall on Tuesday. The Hall was densely crowded. The Liberal Candidate, the Hon. Colonel Edwardes, first entered the Hall, and was loudly cheered by his own supporters: Mr Pitman followed in a few minutes, and was also received with prolonged cheering. The galleries were filled with ladies, most of whom displayed the colours of the candidate whose cause they favoured. The. meeting was dis- tinguished by that good order which has ever char- acterized the political contests in Haverfordwest, and a patient hearing was given to both candidates and to those of their supporters who addressed the electors. The electors assembled fully twentv minutes before the time appointed for the commence- ment of the business, and during the interval dis- played the most exemplary patience and good humour. The proceedings were very ably conducted by the High Sheriff, Henry Davies, Esq. The High Sheriff; Electors of the united boroughs of Haverfordwest, Fishguard and Narberth.—Gentle- men-You are assembled to day for the exercise of an important constitutional right-to elect a member to serve in parliament for these boroughs; and I hope, gentlemen, we shall conduct this meeting to- day with great propriety, and that you toll give every man who speaks a fair opportunity of being heard. Applause) I will do my utmost, gentlemen, to use my influence with you, to give every candidate and every person who addresses you an impartial hearing,—(applause)—and I hope you will unite with me for the same purpose. (Hear, hear) I will not detain you, gentlemen, because you will be addressed by many eloquent men by and bye, and I have no doubt you are all anxious to hear them. (Laughter) I will therefore proceed to read Her Majesty's writ which commands me to hold the election. The writ having been read, and the usual oath taken by the High Sheriff, The High Sheriff said: Gentlemen-It now be- comes my duty to ask whether the electors have any gentleman to propose to represent in Parliament the borough of Haverfordwest, and the contributory boroughs of Narberth and Fishguard ? Mr W. Walters: Gentlemen—1 beg leave to bring before your notice a gentleman to serve in the House of Commons as member for the Boroughs of i Haverfordwest, Fishguard, and Narberth. His political principles you are all perfectly acquainted with, and therefore I will not take up you time by making any lengthy observations. There will be so many who will make speeches to you that I think the less I say the better. I beg to propose Lieut.- Colonel the Hon. William Edwardes as a fit and proper person to serve these boroughs in the Com- mons House of Parliament. (Loud applause.) Mr W. Owen: Electors of Haverfordwest, Fish- guard, and Is.arberth—Gentlemen-—My worthy fnend, Mr Walters, has just proposed to you that the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel Edwardes be elected as °.Urt .ref.ref"latlve m parliament. Mr. Walters stated that he would not occupy your time very much, and I shall take that hint from him, because I am quite sure of this that no speech here to-day will convert one single elector from his de- termination. (Hear, hear) We are all determined to do our duty (hear, hear)—wy are here deter- mined, so far as we have tviie power, to elect a supporter of the Liberal inf,arest in the country. (Applause) There are many important questions that. will be brought before the next parliament; and perhaps there was never a time when the country was so agitated as the present time. Party feeling runs very strong, and I am very much afraid that men for the sake of party will sacri- fice principle I am not going to do that. I stand here boldly to support the one great question that is brought before the country most prominently, and that is the Irish Church. (Cheers and counter cheers) I will say very little about the Irish Church, because I know our worthy candidate will go into the question at great length. However, I feel called upon to make some observations on that question. I don't think it is the greatest question that will be brought before the House: I am very far from thinking that. I think it is quite a matter of justice to Ireland. (Applause) Ireland has been an oppressed country: it has been trodden down by England: the orange flag-has been lifted up there to insult the Irish people. There we have a Church —an English Church don't think I am opposed to the Church I would not pull a stone out of the Church but I should like to see it built upon a more holy foundation, and rendered more useful, and based upon the hearts and affections of the people. (Applause) It is not the Church of Irish- men as you all know, it is the Church of the mi- nority. The population of Ireland may be five or six mi 1 lions and out of that there are only 500,000 Protestants:—I believe that is so but you must not suppose that all the Protestants of Ireland belong to the English Church you have other denomi- natious of Christians there who preach the Gospel to the Irish people. There are a number of Protestants in Ireland who do not belong to th:j Church. (Hear, hear ) Wf! it is feared that. it the Irish Church is disendowed, the Christian religion will fail there. What is tiie argument? —what have they got to say? They are not afraid of Christianity. (Applause) The Church of Cnrist is founded upon a rock, and the gates ot hel! cannot prevail against it. (Applause.) 1 have no fear for the Church I have no fear lor the Church of Uhrist there. Just look, gentlemen, and see what there is in Ireland. There you have a large body of Roman Catholics, perhap five or six millions, and they don't get State aid. (Ap- plause.) They support their religion without receiving a penny from the State—[Cries of "Oh, oh."]—You may" oh, oh" where you like there is only the Maynooth. Grant, and that is going to be taken from them. Look at what other bodies of Christians do. The Wesleyan body maintain their Church at home, and are more numerous than the Church of England; and over and above that they subscribe £ 150,000 a year to send the Gospel to the heathen. (Applause.) Are you afraid that your Chris- tianity is going to fail, and that you cannot put your hands into your own pockets to support your Church ? -[Applause from the Liberal.]—I will not enlarge upon that question, but I will just say this in reference to the Irish Church. We have a relation of the great Sir Robert Peel in the Oull. At the time of the proposal of the Catholic Emancipation, Sir Robert was opposed to it; but he and the Duke of Wellington came at last to this —" that if you do not grant Catholic Emancipation you will lose Ireland Ireland will be in rebellion against you," and as a matter of justice and necessity they were obliged tQ grant it. It was said that if they had Catholic Emancipation they would not be satisfied: they would want to disestablish the Church, and to repeal the Union. But I ask you whether we in Pembrokeshire, where we are all Protestants, should Iille the Catholics to have every living in the county? (Applause.) We should not stand it: and do you think the Irish like it if we do not? The dissatisfaction is not because the Irish are opposed to the English Government: they are not, for when any of our Royal Family go over to Ire- land, they are received with as much accciamation as they are in any other part of the ccuniry. (Applause.) Ireland is not against the Throne: but we must dis- establish the Church, and that is a du'y we owe to Ireland. We cannot stop short of that. Well, gentle- men, I have said that the Irish Church is not the great question to my mind I think we have to look alter what touches every man's pocket, for that comes home to all of us. Now I will just refer to our national expenditure -[Cries of "oh, on."]—You may cry "oh, oh" where you like: they don't like to hear it, gentlemen. (Laughter.) The national expenditure in 1852 was £ 42,064,000: in 18 i8— £ 71,594,000. The national ex- penditure since the present Government came into power has increased upon that of their predecessors about £ 5,680,000. (Applause.) Now, the British Army, consisting of about 110,000 men, costs the country fifteen millions: and the French have an army of 650,000, which costs £ 14,500,000. (Applause.) [Mr Owen referred to the sale of ships by the late Government, and was understood to say that the persons who purchased them made a profit of £8,400 by the transaction.] He proceeded to say:—Now that is the way in which our money is managed: we cannot go to parliament to speak there: now is our time to fpeak, aud we must get a member up to the mark, and take care that he is one 1 hat will keep down the national expenditure. Well, now, having said so much upon the national expen- diture, I will come to the local expenditure.. I happened to be in the House of Commons wi, li our hon and late member, Mr Scourfield, and there was a vote of three millions for the Abyssinian expedition It did not take five minu es to do it. I said 1 should have voted against it, not because I was against the Abyssinian war, but because I thought it cost a great deal more money than it ought to have done. In relerencc to local expenditure, that is expenditure of money paid by the ratepayers, we are taxed in this way to the extent of twenty millions. That comes out of our pockets besides the 70 millions for national purposes. I don't know bow we can bear it How can we stand it? and I don't know where the money comes from for all the purposes of the country. 1 atn very glad Mr Gladstone has taken thu question up: and it has been suggested that the ratepayers should have a voice in the expenditure of their money. Mr Gladstone thinks the ratepayers ought to have a voice in the expen- diture of their own money, and they should be associated with the magistrates and be allowed to see how the money goes. I think Mr Scourfield takes the same viow, that localities are taxed to a very great extent, and that they are called upon to provide money to defray charges, the cost of which ought to be borne by the consolidated fund. Mr Scourfield said once that Mr Gladstone guards the consolidated fund I k a tiger, (laughter.) We shall soon have Mr Scour- field elected member for the county, and a very worthy man he is. (General cheering.) I differ frum him in politics, but I say he is a very good men for the place— (renewed cheering) and I have no doubt when he is installed there, be will look after the expenditure of the country, and see that the ratepayers are not taxed more than they ought to be. When I look at home, there is nothing that we can do: we are not free agents: we have Commissioner after Commissioner, and the whole country is trodden down bv Commissioners, and the cost comes out of our own pockets. I will not detain you much longer, gentlemen but I ask you whether, if the matter had rested with the ratepayers, the Lunatic Asylum would have been built at Carmarthen ? (Applause.) The ratepayers came to this Hall, and presented from twenty to thirty memorials, signed by thousands, against it; but not the least respect was shown them. The magistrates of the county passed over them they would not listen to them but if the ratepayers had had the management and expenditure of their own money, they would not have allowed our money to go to Carmarthen. (Applause.) Look at the police of the county,—I say that in a great measure they are valueless, and we are called upon to maintain them. J say it is quite time we should look after ourselves. (Applause.) I will just say this-[ look to the inhabitants of the town to do their duty. I hope the town will show its independence, and that you will agree with me that a Liberal Government is the f Continued in the aetond page.)
