A printed intervention in the poll for the Northampton election of 1820. Earl Compton's address to Northampton electors, dated 10 March 1820, concedes that 'all Hope of my ultimate Success is now at an End', yet emphasizes that 'it is not my Intention to resign To-night, as I have many Friends not yet polled, to whom I am anxious to give an Opportunity of expressing their Sentiments', and calls on 'Those of my Friends who have not yet polled' to '[attend] at the Hustings at Nine o'Clock To-morrow Morning'. The text provides the total votes for each candidate for the first, second, third, and fourth days of the poll.
