NOVEMBER 10, 1855. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WELLS. Gentlemen, lAM far too sensibly impressed with a con j. vietion of the many estimable qualities which adorned your late Representative not to feel convinced how truly the event which has taken him from you must have called forth your keenest sympathies—sympathies in which / cordially participate. 1 have received an invitation from a large and respectable portion of the constituency, with the most encouraging promises of support, should I consent to be brought forward as a Candi date to succeed him. In gratefully acceding to such proposal, it is of course incumbent on me to make an unreserved avowal of my political principles. These I distinctly state are in strict ao• curdance with those of your late Representative. Au attached and zealous member of the Established Church, I can yet unfeignedly respect those who conscientiously differ from her ritual. On the all-absorbing subject of the present war, it may be ex• pected that, as a soldier whose fortune it has been to be a sharer of its perils, 1 should offer some remark. Suffer me then with a soldier's brevity to say that, as it is universally admitted to have been just in its origin, it should be vigorously pursued, and con cluded only on such terms as may be deemed successfully to ac complish and secure the objects for which it was undertaken. In conclusion I beg to add that if honoured with your confi dence, my earnest efforts shall be directed faithfully, and to the best of my ability, to discharge the duties of a Representative, ever anxious to promote the collective interests of the city. 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, With every sentiment of respect, Your most obedient Servant, HEDWORTH HYLTON JOLIFFE. Ammerdown Park, k7th October, 180. THE HACKNEY ESTATE, I and MEETING and THIRTIETH PUBLIC DRAWING.
