REPRESENTATION OF MAYO
Four candidates are already in the field for Mayo Colonel Knox Gore, Mr. John D. Browne, Sir Wm. O’Malley and Mr. Ouseley Higgins. The first is a Protectionist, and we learn that his canvass is progressing most favourably. Mr. Browne is a Whig, and is nearly connected with the Sligo family. This gentleman formerly represented the county in Parliament. During the late year he took an active part in the proceedings of the relief committee, and went to London to collect the means of alleviating the misery which then pervaded and unfortunately still exists, in the West of Ireland. Mr. Higgins is the nominee of Dr. M’Hale, and Sir William O’Malley also comes forward as a Whig, without any chance of being elected, but having just enough of support to divide the interest which might else achieve an easy victory over the Spiritual Dictator.
Mr. Higgins has sent out his address, which begins open-mouthed against the church, betraying thereby, the neat Roman hand which really penned it. On the other points he promises to vote for everything tending to disturb the foundations of property and order; but, in his private canvass, he is at pains to assure timorous electors that he does not wish “to go as far as Dillon Browne.” That is a pledge which any lover of his country will keep, as long as he can help himself. Further, indeed, than Dillon Browne, it would not be easy, for the most determined progressionist to go, unless his ambition aspired to the honour of keeping a light house at the South Pole, for our expatriated patriot is not to slacken sail till he finds himself a few miles lower down the world than Cape Horn. What his position is to be, when he gets there, seems doubtful. Some authorities dub him a Governor, others only a Surveyor-General; but the probability is that like Alexander Silkirk, he may lay claim to both, for lack of any Christian to dispute the sceptre:-
“I am Monarch of all I survey.”
A fifth candidate, in embryo, last year appeared in the burley person of Mr. MacDonnell, of Deo Castle. He does not actually throw his hat into the ring, which “delicacy” forbids him to do until the vacancy shall be declared; but he is in now way delineate in avowing his sentiments, which are for “a cheap leaf” It is well enough for gentlemen who have plenty of money, like Mr. M’Donnell to expatiate on the advantages of a cheap leaf. Aregath Shiess goes for now in the West, and, as Mr. Taper says, there is nothing like a good cry, we rede Mr. Higgins looks sharp to that of “Big Joe and the big loaf.”–Mail.
