KEzcHsursr * Chxjsch GovBxmtxifT . —The conduct of Mr . Bus-Seld , the new Rector of this town , is beginning to ¦ raw part attention , by affording a contrast in regard to that of his predecessor , the Rey . T . Dorr . A number of customary demands , which lay in a great measure dormant during the time of that gentleman , are near making their appearance , and enabling ^ e parishioners to form something like an estimate of the character of their new pastor . The froeurrag of names from the parish register was ftrmerly perfermed by the clerk at the charge of Hxpenee each . This toe Rer . Gentleman has taken into his own hands , and supplies them to rich and
poor , without exception , at the moderate charge of bajf-a-crpwn . Laying a tombstone in the churchjard was 10 s . formerly , but seldom , if ever , demanded from the poor . The present law id that 10 a . must be paid by eyery one so doing , in whatever circumstances . The old-established custom of the parson taking vhe tenth pig , which ha * been Almost ut of use for tHis long time back , is now on vhe poms of being rrrrreS , a « t the Rev . Gentleman has intonated , through his collector , that he intends to keep a sharp look-out after the tenth part of the grunting brood . A church-rate of one penny in the poand has been already granted , and , by the muttering of the inhabitants , it is more than probable that his conduct will meet with opposition .

PRINCIPLES OF THE CHARTER , AffD PROSPECTS OF THE PEOPLE . ( From our own JUfvrier . ) . On Monday evening hut , a numerous meeting of the Fiusbury Branch of the National Charter Asso ciation met at their lecture room , to hear an address from Mr . Cameron , a member of that bodp , on the principles and prospects of the Chartists , t frpr * pounded by the National Association . At eight o ' clock , Mr . W . Balis was called to the chair , and having introduced the business of the evening to the meeting , in a brief speech , Mr . Cam ebom rose and said : — principles of the charter , and
Mt Friends , —I am happy to meet yon ones more in the tacMd oause « f political and social regeneration The subject I have chosen for our consideration this evening is an inquiry into the power of the working classes , and their means of carrying the Charter . The enthusiasm of party feeling , unattended by that ealcolatlng and presiding judgment wUch subdues all Improper excitement , and Conecta the errors of imagination , has done much to bring our Muse } nte disre pute , and to eonsfgn to a more distdtfr parted the realisation of our fondest hopes . Experience ha * furnished us with more foresight and caution ; and it behoves qs to form a correct estimate of oar real power , in-order that we may avoid a recurrence of those evils which have resulted from our inexperience . We know the
work we have to perform . The preseni'system of class legislation must yield its dominion to the empire of freedom . The right of revolution - belongs to an oppressed and . starring people . : When the revolutionary party has the majority en its side , they have a constitutional right to take advantage of any eircunutances that might be employed to crush the power of a tyrannising and obnoxious ministry , always bearing in mind the ' words of the immortal Paine , that "the moral prW ciple of revolution ia to instruct , set to destroy . " The right of a people to govern themselves ia so evident , thai no oae would attempt to deny it Is theory . That being admitted u a great first principle , it will follow that . the people have also a right to alter , modify , suspend , or abrogate
any previously existing laws . To deny thia cenehulon would be to assert that the laws of a country were superior to the power that made them ; or that the people were made for the laws , and not the laws for the people . We will now eome more cloaely to consider the real and available power of the working elatsee ; always making the distinction between the posseasien and the exercise of power . It ia quite evident that .. the numerical strength of the toiling mlllieLi ia sufficient to overturn ( if vigorously and simultaneously exercised ) any opposition that toe Government might bring against them . Hence , the insecurity of all unpopular governments , a » d the constant alarm of the affluent and unproduetlve . who enjoy their inclusive privileges a | the txpenae ef popular
hatred . The unenfranchised complain of a want of pecuniary means to carry on a successful warfare of agitation against their oppressors . Individually , ' the working classea are poor and helpless , but , collectively they are rich and powerful . The number of working men in the United Kingdom ia considered to amount to 6 . 000 , 000 ; one penny each collected from this number weekly would amount to £ 25 , 000 , or annually to 413 , 000 , 000 . The rich , with all their peasantry , would raise nothing like thia anm for any length of time . How ia it that the mighty men of the land are so alarmed at our little collecting books ; as if they imagined that the gatherings of the people ' s pence wonld besufSpient to raise an army to fight for the Charter f The eufiancnised > ortioa of the community admit that Universal
Suffrage ia just in principle , but practically wrong ; which aiinlssion means that It la right and wrong at the same time . They say its adoption would 1 st loose on aodety all the evil passions of themost ignorant , violent , and licentious . That the right of Government belong ! not necessarily to the greatest number , but to the greatest amount of Intellect , without regard either to the many or the few . Will the ekdusioniats tell na how they wonld test an intellectual qualification ? and what amount of Intellect is necessary to enable a man to distinguish a benefactor from a fee , a wise man from a fool , or aa honest man from a ' knave ? Who ever heard of a man ' a vote being objected to on account of his ignorance ? If an elector , with an idiotic grin , protruding tongue , asd vacant ease , were to present his
vote to sir Robert Peel , there could be no doubt of its most conrteoua reception .: The Reform BUI requires neither a moral nor an intellectual teak , 'hat a property one . Why , then , should Engliahmeo W denied their rights , because they are net wise beyond the measure of the law 1 Ignorant , indeed 1 who are the authors and perpetaators of their Ignorance , t . Let that class of meu answer who hould be h » ld responsible forthe educationalrighta of the rising generation—1 mean the Bishopa and priest * of all denomlnationa How is it that they have not added knowledge to the faith of the people ? or that they should wiah to send ao many Ignorant spirit * to heaven * The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of 1 hirb » m receive . £ 104 10 * . 6 d . a-day of the peoples hard earnings , or
f 4 7 s . Ud . every hour of their lives , whether in health or in sickness , sleeping or awake , drunk or sober The body of men to which these two costly props of Chriatianity belong , have always been the conserva tors of ignorance , fraud , and oppression . When nobleminded men , moved by the inapirations of liberty , have asserted the rights of humanity , they have endeavoured to alarm the timid by raising the cry . or blag pbemy and sedition—they have complimented us wijh the title of " infideL" But the real kifidela are the false believers , whose words and convictions do not agree—men who profess to believe that which they do set believe . I never can believe in the sincerity of a nian ' a belief who la paid for believing ; and in the language of the ancient
poet—He who will one way think . —another tell , My soul abhors him as the gate * of helL " We will now attempt a logical definition of what we understand by the term , " Universal Suffrage , " together with a few remarks on the probable result of a full and perfect development of popular power " Universal Suffrage '' is nothing more nor less than a means of expressing public opinion . Public opinion is the greatest of all earthly power *; it baa justly been described " the thunder of heaven . " A healthy state of public opinion ia the surest indication of a country's freedom , happineaa , and prosperity . Public opinion ia always baaed on public interest , and will always represent the greatest amount of knowledge poaaeaaed by the people . Public opinion expresses the common
sense of tae people and never mistakes its objects . The public mind never errs , except where evidence ia imperfectly developed ; or when it aspires after that which ia beyond the reach of man ' a finite capacity . When we contemplate the immensity of popular power , itia really surprising that an inaignifieaat knot of men , called a government , should find their work so easy , and the people so subservient . But it is quite evident that no government . could continue to exist fer any length of time unless it were sustained by a state of things -which rendered its existence desirable . The few continue to exercise dominion ever the many , because the many are the willing slaves of their tyrants . Little do we calculate on the Immense pswer poaaeaaed by governments in moulding the character of the people .
Governments can determine on the amount and quality of the knowledge that the people ball posses * , by encouraging , or not , establishments for educational purposes . Governments can create virtue among the people by supplying motive * to Its performance ; or they can tolerate vice to any amount , by allowing evils and temptations to exist which the people would be incapable or resisting , if tbeae are powers possessed by governments , they are too great and too sacred to be entrusted to the controul of factions . A factious government will always make laws to sustain ita own power and to favour their own party : but a government , chosen by the publio voice , would look on the people as a kind parent would on his offspring , with equal affection for all , and preference for none .
What an aU-pawerful argument do these reasons furnish in favour ef our glorious Charter ! Governments of faction can alone be responsible to faction . The people are held in a state of unconditional responsibility to the Government ; Instead of which the Govemmeat ought to be responsible to the people . We have seen enough of the abuse of power in the proceedings of the present Government If all men possessed that amount of knowledge watch ( hey are capable of receiving , rest assured the Charter would soon be yours , for " knowledge ia power . " The dread of change is a feeling which is natural to man . Such are the apprehensions of the privileged classes , that they look on an extension of popular power to be fraught with the most imminent danger to themaelvta
The meat determined opposition was made by the Tory party to the passing of the Reform BUI , because they said it would open the flood-gates of revolution , destroy our glorious constitution , and annihilate the noble inatitutiona of the " pride and envy of surrounding nations . " Eight years of practical operation have proved the folly of the alarmiats—thsir fears have subsided , aad the Tory party themselves are perfectly reconciled to the change . Why , then , should that BUI be considered aa comprehending the perfection of pubUo rights ? Why should the progress of Reform be interrupted in ita progress ? My friends , we must break down the strong barriera of "finality , " which the Whigs have erected , and , by forced marches , continue our coarse , until we have achieved the glorious Charter of our liberties . The obdurate Government have shown no disposition to accede to the demands of the people . I belkve the public mind would have been satisfied if the spirit of the Reform Bill had been
followed out by a measure of progressive Reform , so that the principles of the Charter had been secured aa an ultimatum . The Government , by having turned a deaf ear to the demands of the people , have rendered themselves morally responsible for all the consequences of their unyielding obduracy . ( Hear . ) I would not have the working classes consider their oppressors aa being the immediate authors of all the wroHgathey complain of . There are serioms evils which the people Inflict on themselves . The debasing and aouldeatroyiug habit of intemperance , I mention as the moat formidable . The incarcerated and nobleminded Tincent aald , with irresistible truth , that" a drunkard could never be a Chartist" Drunkennesa is the prolific source of mental indolence and political apathy . Never expect to find the patriot in the drunkard ; the leve of country , or of kind , can have ne place in his poiaoned and degraded souL If liberty is BOtwortb aeekiBf after , It U not worth Bpasoaafng

Thereiaevideatlya great lack of publio apJrit among aodetiea s the feelings of each- trade axe too much oonfintd to it * OWB particular clao . Eighteen mentha have pawed away , and two thousand shares are not yet taken . It remains for the working portion of the community to decide whether the work ia to proceed , or whether a failure : ia to be pronounced . It has frequently been said , that
the trades have no political character , . and that they are , totally indifferent t » their rights : as men and aa citisena . While . aueh apathy continues to characterise the working clatsep , I tell them plainly that slavery ia their relative position in society . The people once aroused from their slumbers , the victory is ee » tain , notwithstanding tfafl determination of the Government to cut the strings , ef the movement by the incar ceration of its foremost . men . Chartism possesses increased health and vigour , and still lives to perform Its noble work . Society ia in a atate of transition . The unproductive consumers have had it all their own way long enough . It is time the people began to try what they can do for themselves . Let na put on the anueur of moral courage , and prepare for the
forthcoining struggle . Let our future efforts be well-directed ; fer the enemy anticipates our movement . Lot no blow be atruck but at the proper time . Let no experiment be tried , unless connecting and co-existing drouin-• feuoes are favourable to the event We have bad enough of failures . The National Charter Association has given a powerful impetua to the movement , Ita projects are noble , Ita plans well-matured , and promises much good to the cause of the millions . Tiie people have only themselves to depend on . The Tories abhor thtm ; the Whigs have betrayed them ; the middle classes disown them ) and thepreaahas gone over to the enemy . TUe ^ ortftwj « ar —( ckeera )—iatheouly public jouiail that the working men can call their own : publio gratitude will ever live to acknowledge the
devotion , talenta , and patriotism of it * founder . We look . With corumlaerating fondness and anxious solicitude for the arrival of that great day ,, when Feargua O'Qsnnp ^ shaU be free . You recollect the plan which he gave to you— -I mean the one sent forth from his dungeon . If little has been aaid about it . It ia because the means are net in readiness ; but I , am very much mistaken if the projector * * liberation la net followed by the appearance of another Slat shining in the political heaven * . Much aa I approve of publio agitation , as necessary as it ia to the successful result of our labours , I muat insiat on again and again bringing before you a plan of internal agitation—a mode , of operation not necessarily partaking of a political character , bat having for } ta object tbe emancipation of the working clause
from the tyranny of landlords , factory lords , Poor Law Commiaaionera , and every description of money monstera and grinding capitalists . ( Hear , hear . ) In my former lecture * I have endeavoured to prove that competition is the primary source ef class distinction , and the consequent degradation of the great body of producer * . ' Labour has no acknowledged rights—no legislative protection . The economiats declare that the minimum of aubaiatence is the natural reward of labour . Thia la a false tod impious doctrine . God baa endowed hia creature , man , with Inventive and industrial powers , which enable him te produce more than he can consume , evidently Inteading , in hia mercy , to secure to him a portion of leisure , to enable him to cultivate hi * intellectual faculties—to enjoy the . bleMisgs
of life ; and to aacuM to him ease and oorafort In . old age . ( Cheers . ) Such ia the true doctrine of nature ; but the sons of toil are now robbed of their birthright —of the boaest reward of their own labour , and their fair proportion in the produce of the soil . They are the mere creatures of supply and demand , and it depends on the chances of the market whether they shall find employment or not ; or whether they shall have a half loaf , a whole loaf , or . no bread , to eat I have discovered the causes of the suffering and social wronga of the people . ln a false and vicious system of distribution . That department of the public economy called "distribution" in the order ef nature is . a secondary process , and , therefore , should be subservient to the primary source of wealth , which ia production . Instead of
which the middle-class distributors and aristocracy have managed to secure fur themselves the capital of the country , which is the vast accumulation of the profits of labour . The present syatem of distribution ia the prolific source of profligacy , immorality , deception , oppression , and fraud . My advice to the working classes is to establish joint stock companies or co-operation stores throughout the country , upon an enlarged and comprehensive scale . Their beginnings would necessarily be amall ; but the accumulation of profit * would be ao rapid , that they would soon be enabled to distribute , not only provisions , but all aorta of manufactured produce . By this process produce would be sold at a very small advance on the original coat of production ; by which means an immense saving would
result to tfie consumers , which , would have the effect of greatly improving the home market by awakening the consumptive powers of the community . This state of things would , by causing an increased demand , cause also an advance in the prices of labour , and would ultimately produce a just equilibrium , and a wholesome relat ion between the productive and consumptive powera of society . The operation of this plan weuld produce a terrible panic among the ehopocracy . Shops would close and be turned into private house *—reuta would ootne down , and the condition of the working classes being thus Improved , they would become the poaseaaora of the house * , and , therefore , of the franchise , and if true to their principles , Chartists would be returned to Parliament without even an extenaion of the franchise .
Thus I have briefly sketched the plan which I recommend to the consideration of Chartists generally , and particularly to the aerioua consideratienof the Council of the National Association . I don't know what Sir R . Peel meant when he gave that excellent advice—I mean the taking of management of their own affairs into their own hands ; but that which I recommend furnishes the most rational elucidation I can conceive of . Sir Robert Peel meant well , but perhaps could not afford to apeak quite so plainly as I do . I feel convinced that the physical condition of the people must first be improved before they can be morally advanced or bettered in their social condition . We have ne feelings of rooted hatred against any portion
or class of our feUew-men ; but we wage a determined and aja exterminating war against a system which produces superfluous wealth to the few and wretchedness to the many . We have no desire to destroy , or to appropriate to our own use , the property of others . But if the rights ef property are only to be maintained by the aacrlficeof the miillons , I , for one , say , let the rights of suffering humanity be asserted , and let property be left to find ita own level . Let our future efforts be directed by the best feelings of our nature . May wisdom preside over pur councils , and real charity , which is practical religion , influence our motives . But , let ua never forget that "Union ia strength , " and that "Knowledge is power . " ( Im mease cheering . )
At the conclusion of Mr . Cameron ' s address , whioh was received throughout with frequent plaudit * , and made a great impression on hia audience , The Chairman observed , that he was highly pleased at Mr . Cameron' * reference to Mr . O'Connor ' s plan for establishing a Morning Star ; and when he thought upon the great advantage that a daily journal would be to the Chartiat eauap , he waa surprised that the Chartists of England and Scotland had not long ago responded to Mr . O'Connor ' s call . The press was a powerful engine in the hands of any party . ( Hear , hear . ) Where would Chartism have been , ox where would all the organisation and agitation be at the present time , had it not been tor the Northern Star .
way , it * " local habitation " could not ba found . The Whig Government knew this , and that was the reason they had incarcerated the sincere , honest , and nobleminded patriot who commenced it ; but the villains , having found all other means of putting down the Star Ineffectual , have had reoeurse to auother base and cowardly expedient , by hiring their mercenaries to blast hia reputation . ( Shame , shame . ) But O'Connor had triumphantly refuted the vile plot , and before they went any further , let them show that he still lived in their hearts—that he still retained their unbounded confidence—by giving three hearty cheers . ( Three cheers , and three more , &vcu littfa one * , were then given for Feargus O'Conner , the undaunted champion ef the rights of the working classes . )
Mr . Balls , after the cheering , urged the meetingto do all in their power to promote the success of the Northern Star , and the plan of Mr . O'Connor relative to the dally paper , so that the latter might make its appearance on the morning after that noble patriot 1 * released from his dungeon . Adverting to the plan of Joint Stock Co-operative Stores , and to the aubjeet of a Trade * ' Hall , he gave both those projects his hearty concurrence , and concluded ( amid loud cheers ) by calling upon his fellow-workmen , as they are the souroe from which all the wealth and grandeur of the British nation arises , net to be oppressed by a few of their own countrymen ; but to put their shoulders to the wheel , and they would soon work out their political salvation . Mr . Culverhouse and Mrs . Emery respectively supported the plan of Co-operative Stores ; when a committee was appointed to cany out Mr . Cameron ' s objects .
A vote of thanks to Mr . Cameron was passed , and the assembly dispersed at eleven o ' clock . 8 TOCKTON .-Mr . Deegan leotured hen o « Monday evening hut .

FlBB AT THE DOCKYARD AT ToTJLON . —A letter from Toulon , of the 15 th ia&U statea that an alarm was spread the previous evening that a fire had broken out in the naval arsenal at that port . About ten o ' clock , the report was first given , and the alarm-gun fired , which filled the whole eity with consternation . A large body of troops mustered without arms in the Champ de Mara , to be ready to act as required . In less than ten minutes more than 14 , 0000 persons | had assembled before the gate of the arsenal ready to lend their assistance , but fortunately their services were not required , as the men employed on the establishment were able to extinguish the flames before they gained any head ; The damage done was very trifling , but at , moment like the present , the greatest alarm wasatfirt felt . The fire was solely the result of accident ;
On Wednesday afternoon the neighbourhood of Sloane-street , Chelsea , was thrown into considerable consternation by the rapid approach of a locomotive 6 team-engine f which seemed to disregard all efforts of the steeror to check its progress , when , on ' arriving opposite the Swan wine-vaults , to avoid oomjug in contact with two boys whowere passing at the time , he attempted to turn it out of the way , but , losing all confront , it forced itself through the beautiful plate glass front of a jeweller's shop , ( Mr . Collier ' s ) , and much injured the steerer ( Thos . Wadeson ) , who was
instantly conveyed to St . George's Hospital , where he still lies in a dangerous state . It appears , ' on making inquiries , that the engine is the joint property of Sir George Cay ley and Mr . Worsley , the engineer , and was being conveyed from the manufactory in Holywell-street , Millbank , to Hounslow , previous to making an experiment , but , in consequence of a part of the machinery giving way , all power over the engine was lost , and thus caused the accident . The damages are estimated at about " £ 100 .

UEOBBSa East Wabb Municipal Election . —An uproarious meeting of this ward wis held on Thursday toigh . t , at the Spinner ' s Amu , Tumble Bridge , fi Was ! called by the Commit ^ e . of tho East We * d Natioual Charter Association ^ for the purpose of bringing the Whig-Radical and Tory candidate face to face , aod to enable them to state in person their claims in the suffrages of the electors . : Two chairmen were appointed ; Mr . Andrew Gardiner ( a Chartist ) preaided at one end of tne room , and Mr : John Hudson , a Tory , at the other . The Tories seem to have taken it into their heads that the Chartists intended to support Mr . Burrows , the Whig Radical , and threw every obstacle in the ways of the
proceedings . No sooner had Mr . Gardiner stated the reason why the meeting was called than they began to question the right of the Charter Association to call it ; and one of them , a Mr . Hey wood , ez-oonstable of the town , asserted that Mosely , as secretary in the East Ward Branch of the Association , had waited on Mr . Cawood ' s ( the Tory candidate ) committee , and offered to admit people by tickets , to be equally divided between the partisans of eaoh candidate . This Mr . Mosely indignantly denied . He said he certainly waited on both candidates ( by desire of the Association ) to invite them to attend the meeting ; and Mr . Hey wood , who was one of Mr . Cawood ' s committee , had proposed that the tickets should be equally divided
between the Tories and the Chartists , thus leaving Mr . Burrows' friends without any . This he ( Mr . Mosely ) coumdered not right , ana proposed that Mr . Burrows' friends should have one-third , which Mr . Hey wood objected to , saying it was unfair . These accusations gave rise to a tremendous row , Mr . Hey wood taking a most conspicuous part in it . In the middle of it , Mr . Cawood entered the meeting , and was received with mingled cheers and hisses . When something like order had been restored , Mr . Parker , a Chartist and Teetotaller , proposed several questions to the candidates . The first was , "What is your opinion of the Whig Government policy in the prosecution of Frost , Williams , and Jones ! Mr . Burrows said that when he had been waited upon to sign a petition to get them liberated , he had signed it with pleasure .
Mr . Parker said that was no answer ; it was an evasion of the question . Mr . Burrows said he had signed it on the ground of the informality , and the doubt whioh haa existed in this case . When there were any doubts , they ought to be for the benefit of the prisoner , and he thought that , in this case , Frost , Williams , and Jones ought to have been Bet at liberty . Mr . Parker considered thia to be an evasion of the question , but as he could get no further answer from Israel , he put the question to Mr . Cawood , who replied that tne Whig policy , as shown in this prosecution , was the most unjust , the most tyrannical , and the most diabolical that could be imagined , and they had acted towards Frost with the most fiendish malice that could be ' shown
to any individual . The Whigs had patted Lord Fitzwilliam on the back when he recommended the people not to pay the taxes ; and Frost . Williams , and Jones had not gone to half the length that nobleman had . They had been entrapped by the most base , foul , and slanderous spies . ( Loud cheering from the Chartists and Tories , and cries of "Question" from the Whig Radicals , who began to look rather blue . ) Mr . Parker then asked , "Will you , both in and out of the Council , endeavour to obtain the liberation of all political offenders ! Mr . Burrows said that the question was a very extensive one . He was quite prepared to advocate the liberation of every person not guilty of murder , or any great crime , considered as such by
all civilised nations . Mr . Cawood , in reply to the question , said , " All imprisoned by the Whigs , I will . " ( Great laughter . ) Here another row ensued , and somebody moved an adjournment to the yard , many being outside who could not" get in on account of the crowded state of the room . Mr . Gardiner pat the motion , and declared it carried ; upon which many of the Whig-Radicals left the room . The Tories , however , would not budge ; and after much altercation . Mr . Parker proceeded with his catechism . In answer to the question , "Will you vote for a reduction of the Town Clerk ' s salary from £ 500 to £ 100 a year J " Mr . Burrows said no reasonable man would ask such a thing , and Mr . Cawood replied he would
" under certain ciroumstances . " When asked " will you sign a petition for the striking off the national debt ! " the Whig-Radical answered by asking another question " In what way ! " and the Tory p lainly said , " I will not 1 " The next subject brought forward was the Naw Poor Law Act . Mr . Burrows said he approved of some parts of it , aud Mr . Cawood said " it was a diabolical and infamous Bill , that none but the ' base , J » loody , and brutal , WuigB could have concocted . " ( Great disapprobation from the Whig Radicals . ) Mr . Parker then questioned the candidates upon the five great points of the Charter . Mr . Burrows professes to go for Universal Suffrage and non-payment of Members ; he is a great advocate for Vote by Ballot , and will
" not only support it , but give his heart and hand towards it f but he prefers Triennial Parliaments to annual ones ; and with respect to nonpayment of Members , he professes to oppose it on the ground of economy . Mr . Cawood prefers Universal Suffrage to the £ 10 franchise ; would not like a man to be returned to Parliament " without having a stake in the country ; " would have no objection to sijm a petition in favour of Annual Parliaments- ; considers the Vote by Ballot "un-English ; " and won t support payment of Members . Other questions of minor importance were asked ; and the meeting did not break up till past midnight . No resolutions in favour of either candidate were proposed , the Chartists , who called the meeting being apparently of opinion that neither candidate is deserving of their confidence .
