This is the real truth of the matter. Mr. MANN and Mr. FOSTER seem to have got our LIAR to Leeds as the means of humbling Baines and the Brougham faction; and Baines was, it appears, fool enough to go and try his strength against him on the spot. How Foster and Mann and all the real reformers must have laughed, to see the GREAT LIAR of the North and THE LIAR of the South, meet in direct and deadly conflict! I saw our Liar's approach towards Leeds, and talking with a Yorkshire man about the means that Baines was preparing to meet him, I said: "I'll bet you 100 to one the LIAR of the South beats the "LIAR of the North, though the latter takes, and not unjustly, the surname

COBBETT - CORN.

I HAVE received corn, ground by fourteen persons near GREAT GRIMSBY, in Lincolnshire, and some very very fine corn, ground at MORPETH, in Northumberland. I wish that a gentleman, who has a crop at PEVENSY, in Sussex, would send me four or five of his ears of corn: I shall then have some grown at PAISLEY, and some 450 miles to the north of PEVENSY.

knowing the capacity of our LIAR, dared not take my bet. If Baines had been man enough to use the point of his shoe, or a horse-whip, he would have triumphed in an instant; but when it was a matter of mere HARD LYING, he was sure to be defeated; for at that our Southern fellow would beat the Devil himself. BAINES did, it seems, take him by the collar, upon which the hero retreated into another room, with a window to speak from, and fastened himself in! It was the shoe, or a horsewhip, that was wanted. How FOSTER and MANN, each of whom has as much sense in his little-finger as the LIAR has in his whole carcase, must have trembled for the success of the frolic, when they saw the brazen thing “ turn pale" and retreat! But, Doctor, are you so little informed as to imagine that the working people of Leeds do not read the I PERCEIVE the great alarm you are in debates in Parliament; and that they at what you call the success of THE do not know all about our LIAR?

A gentleman who saw this fellow at the Westminster election of 1818, haranguing a crowd from a window, heard the harangue crowned with a hurra! hurra ! hurra! and heard a fat butcher, who

Be assured, Doctor, that such is the case in all the towns whither OUR LIAR has gone: he is the raw-head and bloody-bones wherewith to frighten the crafty knaves who think to cheat the people quietly out of all share in the representation: he is not the deluder of the people, but their tool. At last, some man will kick him, or horsewhip him; and then he will be of no further use. His LIE about the CORN shows "what a fool it is," as the huzzaing butcher said.
