Gentlemen, THE sudden and unexpected dissolution of Parliament has imposed upon you the duty of electing two members to represent your interests in the House of Commons. Encouraged by numerous assurances of support, I venture to offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages at the approaching election._ _ I should not have presumed to aspire to the high honour of repre3enting the metropolitan county in Parliament, had [ not already had some experience of the business of the House of Commons, and felt that my immediate connection with the county gave me some additional claim to your confidence. Since 1841 to the present time, with one interval, I have had the honour of a seat in Parliamen*, and I can appeal with confi dence to my votes in the House of Commons to show that I have never swerved from the great Conservative principles I pledged myself to maintain. I understand by Conservative principles, not only preserving the integrity of our institutions, but upholding the honour of the British name abroad; and that, not by an aggressive polio) , which tends to place Foreign Powers in an attitude of suspicion, if not of hostility, but by exhibiting on all occasions that justice and moderation which are as much the real strength of this country as its fleets and armies. It was because I could not discern that justice and moderation in the transactions, the approval of which by her Majesty's Go vernment led to the present dissolution, that I voted with the majority, and not because I had entered into a coalition to oval.- throw the existing Administration. need not dwell upon that charge, as, if ever seriously made, it hes been, and on two separate occasions, distinctly disavowed, and by no less an authority than the President of the Council in his place in the House of Lords. Permit me further to observe, that by Conservative principles I also understand the firm upholding of the Church of England as the great Protestant bulwark of Christianity, without inter ference with the rights of conscience of those who dissent from the communion. With this conviction I have recorded my votes against the en• do mment of the College of Maynooth, as well as measures having a tendency to Infringe on the due observance or the Sabbath. Passing to subjects of prospective legislation, I consider the reform of abuses and the removal of grievances as among the articles of a Conservative creed, and I hold as a maxim, never to be lost sight of. that sooner or later social and political wrongs must be reformed, and that if allowed to accumulate, they cannot be redressed without danger to the State and injury to individual interest. I readily admit that Lord Palmerston deserves well of the coun'ry for having prosecuted the late war r. ith vigour, awl brought it to a successful issue. Acting upon this conviction, I have, during the progress of those events, giving him a disinte rested and ungrudging support. Should I be so fortunate as to be chosen your representative, I should not allow mere party considetations to actuate me In giving or withholding my assent to measures he may bring forward; but I cannot allow that in return for the energy he displayed in the conduct of the war with Russia, he is entitled to that pledge of blind and unlimited cond. dence which his personal adherents claim for him. _ _ • If returned to serve you in the House of Commons, T wish to go there unfettered, free to give my vow to any Administration that will carry on the government of this great country, by maintaining peace abroad, reducing expenditure at home, and will apply themselves sedulously, resolutely, and without delay to the task, in many respects too long neglected, of improving the moral, religious, and social condition of all, but especially of the more helpless classes of the community in her Majesty's dominion a. I should not have required the somewhat tardy avowal made by the Secretary of the Admiralty in the valedictory address he has just issued to you, to convince me that the duties of a Government office are incompatible with the representation of a metropolitan county, and this advantage, at least, I shall have over Mr. Osborne, if you do me the honour to elect me, that I shall have my whole time to devote to the care a your local in. terests, and I can sincerely assure you that all my time and all my energies will be at vour service. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful urvant, CH ELSEA. 23, lowndes•street, March 27,1837. To the ELECTORS of the COUNTY of ,MIDDLESEX. Gentlemen, T MOST heartily thank you for the reception 1 which you have given me, and for the flattering manner in which my views have been received. I have only to request you to do me the further favour of being early at the poll on Monday, and there recording your vote on my behalf, of your emphatic rejection of the extreme opinions that have been advocated by one. if not both, of my opponents. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very grateful Servant, CHELSEA.
