T he determinati on o f th e Mi n i s t ry t o a pp ea l to the country induces us to address you on the question whether a real ia natio nal representati on can b e o btained under our present at era of elections an d th e e ff e cts of our defective represen tative system on the administration of public affairs. It has be. did what n said th a t " W e re formed our electoral system, and w what was muc h needed ; but going rather fiercely to Work s we limited most injuriously our range of choice for able —a ' , to fill the administrative departments of the State, and We shut the doors of the House of Commons upon all young linen of ability, except those of high birth, great wealth, or 'extreme opinions—in other words, a change professed' ydemo cratic has thrown us more completely, in practice, into the hands of the aristocracy ; and no Venetian oligarchy was ever More exclusive than our present caste of State-governors." Why is this P Because the Sovereign cau only select her re oponsible advisers out of a few great families, who form the governing classes of this country ; for no Ministry, not chosen from these classes, could " obtain the necessary majority in the House of Commons." Tho result of this state of things is thus described by the leading journal of the day :—" The Ministers of the Crown, who undertake the government of this empire, aro not a bit wiser or better men than thousands of all other ranks of the Queen's subjects, except here and there where a man of genius rises amongst them, as he may from any other class." "Our generals have turned out worse than useless ; our Ministers something more than incapable ; every public department has been crushed into hopeless imbe cility by the weight of unbending routine and worthless forma lities, and on no one occasion that we are aware of has the light man been selected to fill the right place." The energy, Ability, and industry of the people of this country have Weed it to the highest rank among the nations of the earth,, but the incapacity and want of foresight of our Ministers, bare lower e d us i u th e sca le of nations, and brought con ..."rapt on Representative Government. Tho same class of Men who maintain the supremacy of this country in arts and *dances, trade, and manufactures, could, without doubt, furnish rulers able to maintain the supremacy of our arms and our national honour, but such men are rarely, if ever, c alled on to und er t a ke the Government. The Ministers of the C rown, the commanders of our fleets and armies, and the chiefs of the branches of civil and military administration, are cho sen, not for merit or ability, but from " influence," "cause they belong to " powerful families," who can make or destroy a Ministry by giving or withholding Parliamentary Support, These families monopolise place and power : not content with the exclusive possession of the House of Lords, they aim at, and to a great extent succeed in, monopolising the People's House of Parliament, and exclude, as much as Possible, from any share in the Government, all men not con nected with their own class. The source and strength of. the Parliamentary power of the oligarchy is the control the law Permits them to exercise over the votes of the Elect ors throughout the kingdom ; by which large numbers of Eng lishmen become so much voting-power at the disposal of the wealthy and powerful. By the different influences which, as landlords, customers, and in other countless forms, they have over the electors, whose dependence is multifariously diversified, the governing factions, Whig and Tory, secure, - with few exceptions, the whole of the county members, and a majority of the borough m em b ers f or E ng land, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales ; the members of Parliament, who really sit by free and popular election, being an insig nificant minority. This makes the oligarchy omnipotent in Parliament : and though they may struggle for the mastery over each other, and differ on points of *Pecnlative policy, they are united and irresistible on all Points affecting their monopoly of Government ; while the People suffer both the evil of being misrepresented by those they have not chosen, and the evil of being forced into a pre tended c h o i ce. The remedy for these evils is such a Reform of Parliament as will destroy the power the Governing Classes now have in the House of Commons, which makes an inde pendent and popular Ministry impossible. An extension of ~,t t e , _Suffrage alone will not do this. The lowering of the fran um, and the consequent admission of a greater number of dependent Electors, would only strengthen and increase the P o wer which possessors of undue influences now have in re turn; - -TV Members to Parliament. Complete and Universal /freedom of Election alone will obtain for us a House of Corn lanna who will support a Ministry in which ability and merit, and not influence, will be the qualification for civil or military place and power. The only means of obtaining this Freedom to establish the vote by Ballot. ,_,/fe gladly adopt th e f o llowing remarks from the pen of an a tm° Journalist :—" We may call upon the constituencies till "nsday to correct their elections, without our calling being sensibly attended to, unless we shield and fortify the consti anencies with the Ballot. Men will make great sacrifices out apatriotic spirit ; but few will consent to ruin themselves for patriotism's sake. We have a right to expect much from co nstituencies ; but we must not expect too much. We have ae right to ca ll upon th em t o sacrifice position and prospects, to see their business destroyed, their credit broken, their families ruined, for the good of the public; yet such things bare and do result continually from the honesty and courage or men who dare to vindicate their principles and refuse to :fete for partisans of their customers. We claim for honesty the Protection of the Ballot. Wo claim for every man whom the law has enfranchised, freedom from the dictation of those Who possess the power of injury; for experience has shown that men who have such power are not slew to use it when their wishes are crossed." Around this point we would concentrate the popular energies at the coming election, confident as we are that with out the ballot no measure of reform will prove efficient, and that with it any measure will be a real step in advance gained, from which further progress will prove easy, and further necessary reforms will inevitably follow. We therefore counsel you to use every exertion at the corning election to secure the ballot being made the low of the land, by the Parliament now to be sleeted. Require of every candidate who seeks your suffrages, that he pledge himself to vote for the annual motion for the ballot, and that he will use his influence with any Ministry he may support to induce them to make the ballot a Government measure. Pellow-eountrymenlin appealing for your co-operat ion and *id, we would again respectfully but earnestly remind you of the importance of an energetic movement in favour of the ballot at the presontjuncture. Now, if ever, should the con stituencies and the people put forth the constitutional power With which they aro invested in a struggle for free and pro tected voting. Signed by order of the Executive Committee on behalf of the Society. AN APPEAL from the NON-ELECTORS , LEAGUE to the Electors of the United Kin LEAGUE FELLOW COUNTRYMEN ! T he approaching disiolution of Parliament will again enable YOU to exercise that electoral power which in justice belongs to us all, but which you alone aro permitted to enjoy. One of the reasons assigned for this insulting and degrad ing exclusion of our class from political authority is, that the franchise which you possess is held in trust for us ; hence the appeal now made to you. None aro more deeply interested in the struggle about to take place than we are, and it is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the issue should be taken upon some broad and well-defined political principle, and not upon the mere personal pretensions of rival patrician statesmen. Our busi ness is not with these men, who aro merely your instruments ; it is with you, the Electors, to whom the law has entrusted our liberty and our rights, that wo have to deal, and whom we are entitled to call to account. Onr case is ono of peculiar hardship, and pre-eminently de mands your gravest consideration. We live under a political constitution, the theory of which is that all power springs from the people ; that representa tion should precede taxation, and that no law shall be made binding upon the Subject which has not received the sanction of the Commons of England. How well this sounds to tho ear ! how deceitful it is to the heart, facts will attest. Fellow-countrymen—You Electors number about one mil. lion of persons. We, the voteless, are Over Four Millions Who, then, constitute the commonality of England ? Are the Four Millions comprised in the term I Electors! pause and ask yourselves who and what are these Four Million of your fellow-subjects upon whose behalf this appeal is made. They aro your countrymen—your neighbours ; they culti- Vete the soil--ply the shuttle—plough the main; they exea . Tate the rocks and themines ; their toil and skill, combined with the capital, enterprise, intelligence, and liberality of their employers, have created the gigantic Docks of our ports, the large Factories and Warehouses of our towns and cities, the Ships in our harbours, and the Railways that intersect. the country. They are that noble Army of Labour by whose industry the resources of the Empire have attained their pre sent marvellous development. Such, Electors, are the men who constitute the Five Mil lions of Outcasts from our political system—known to the State only as the payers of Taxes, and the drudges of our social life ELECTORS I say, ought this to be ? ELECTORS 1 We appeal against this state of things in a Spirit of proper indignation ; but, at the same time, with a feeling of reliance upon your justice and patriotism. It in Your power to alter the Constitution of the House of Com mons by the return of men pledged to do justice to the unre vreoented masses; men who will not ally themselves with either of the dominant factions who in turns have the exclu sive management of the affairs of the nation. The oligarchical composition of the Executive Government is "" crying scandal, and one against which the commercial constituencies ought to protest ; the working classes arc en tirely excluded from Parliamentary Representation, and the commercial classes stand in a somewhat similar relation to the Exeentive authority. Thus the two great classes . whose . isterests are so obviously identical are treated with indignity and injustice.

GENERAL ELECTION.—PRINTING with Economy and Despatch for Pamphlets, Addresses, Circulars, and Posting Bills, either Letterpress or Lithographic.—VAßTY, 27, Camomile-street, Bishopsgato, London, E C. TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTHAMPTON. GEN TLEMEN— On Tuesday morning I had written a few sentences once more pledging myself, and summoning my friends at North ampton to another contest and another victory ; but events move faster than our actions ; a few hours later I was called upon by a numerous and influential body of electors to come forward as one of the candidates for Loudon, for the repre sentation of that great constituency among whom I was born, and with whom I have passed a large portion of my life. This trust, as you well know, is the highest honour to which a commercial m a n connected with the City of London can aspire, and there are special circumstances at the present moment which might seem to render obedience to such a call a plain public duty. But none of these considerations would have induced me to leave my tried and faithful friends had the return of a second Liberal candidate for Northampton been jeopardised by my doing so. I have the satisfaction to learn that, provided the same union and the same activity now characterises your pro ceedings which have prevailed on former occasions, the same result is certain. Gentlemen—ln bidding you farewell, when I remember the generous, unvarying, unabated confidence with which you have honoured me, I can scarcely thank you as I ought ; I will not parade my feelings in the common-places of an ad dress—l will hope for some occasion when I may personally endeavour to express them. With heartfelt wishes for your prosperity and happiness, lam, gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, RAIKES CURRIE. Hyde-park-terrace, 12th March, 1857. AT a MEETING of the DISTRICT SECRE TARIES and other ELECTORS of NORTH AMPTON, held at the Peacock Hotel, on Wednesday, March 11, 1857, Mr. JOHN PERRY, Jun., in the Chair, Resolved unanimously—That this Meeting has heard with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that the Liberal Electors of the City of London have requested our long-tried and faithful representative, Mr. Raikes Currie, to become a Candidate for that important constituency ; and while la menting the probability of losing his valuable services as a member for this borough, and tending our sincere acknowledg ments of the independence, integrity, and high ability which he has exhibited in our service during a period of twenty years, we cannot but admit the fact that so distinguished a tribute to his high qualities fully justifies him in putting him self at the disposal of the City electors, if such shall be his determination. JOHN PERRY, Jun., Chairman. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, In obedience to the wishes of a large body of Electors, I offer myself as a Candidate for the representation of the City. My political opinions, tested by my votes, have been so long before the Publi c th a t I nee d n ot explain them now. I believe that they have been maintained for twenty years con. sistently, fearlessly, and with entire independence. But there is one subject of paramount interest at the pre sent moment to which I must specially refer. Speaking in July last in the House of Commons, on the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill, I used these words— " When the reputations of experienced statesmen fell scat tered around like leaves in autumn, the Noble Lord (Palmer. sten) stood firm, nailed his colours to the mast, threw energy into the councils of the Crown, maintained the honour of the country, and restored peace to Europe." Those were my convictions then; they have been confirmed and strengthened by the events of last autum. The whole of that strange history cannot now be told, but posterity will recognise the merits of a Minister by whose persevering courage alone all the conditions of peace were carried out, and thanks to whom, England retains her proud and rightful place among the nations of the earth. - I believe that an immense majority of the citizens of London are determined to support Lord Palmerston against combina tions which I forbear to designate, but which he has called, with happy magnanimity, " The fortuitous concourse of atoms in the same lobby." Gentlemen, at your bidding I have resigned a Constituency as independent, intelligent, and faithful as any man ever repre sented. I believe that I shall be honoured by your generous support, and I leave my Election in your bands, with perfect confidence as to the result. I am, gentlemen, your very faithful servant, RAIKES CURRIE. 29, Cornhill, March 42, 1857. ETROPOLITAN COUNTIES and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, 27, Regent• street, Waterloo-place. London.

ELECTION INT ELLIOENCE. BRIDPORT. Mr. E. T. SMITH who arrived, at Bridport on Thursday evening, on Friday addressed a numerous meeting of the electors and others, from the Grey hound Hotel, where are his head-quarters. His re ception by the large body assembled in front of the hotel was enthusiasti c , as that of "the man of the •people," which has become his distinctive appella tion. Quiet having been obtained, Mr. G. W. M. REYNOLDS stepped forward, and said he exp er i ence d much pleasure i n introducing Mr. Smith to the people of Bridpert. He (Mr. Reynolds) having, on a past occasion, had some communication with the leading Liberals of the borough, in reference to its representation, and likewise pre sum i ng on the fact t h a t , as the proprie tor of the leading journal of the industrious order, he might claim friendship with the members of that order, wheresoever he presented himself, felt con vinced that it would not be deemed a liberty on his part thus to address the friends of true freedom at Bridport. In glancing at the political aspect of the town, it w as i mpossible to c l ose one ' s eyes t o th e fact, that, am id st the confusion of parties, t h ere was a most i n i qu i tous conspiracy on foot to destroy the independ ence of the boroug h . (Cheers.) This base and i ns idi ous treason aga i nst t h e cause of right, truth, and justice, had, for its object, the thrust ing of a particular individual upon the Bridport constituency, as on e o f i ts representatives. Who was Mr. Mitchell, th a t h e s h ou ld c l a i m t o exercise, this seignorial power in Bridport ? And who was Mr. Hodgson, that he should take the position of a dic tator in the borough 1 The political conduct of the former had already rendered him utterly unworthy of the confidence of the Bridport people ; and now, as if completely reckle!s in the pursuit of his un principled course, he was conspiring to buy and sell the electors, as if they were so many sheep. (Tremendous cheers.) As for Mr. Hodgson, he appeared to entertain the idea that money was the only needful qualification for a representative ; but the electors of Bridport would disabuse him of his error, and, while doing honour to themselves in the result, would at the same time and by the same proceeding, cover him with shame and confusion. (Cheers.) After some more remarks on the sub ject, and a few passing allusions to the prominent political topics which naturally suggested them selves on such an occasion, Mr. Reynolds proceeded to observe that, in presenting Mr. E . T. Smith to the people of Bridport, he had the satisfac tion of introducing a gentleman of tried politi cal integrity and known liberality of pri nc ipl e —a gentleman who, in his capacity of lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, as well as in that of proprietor of the Sunday Times newspaper, had given the amplest proofs of his symath y w i th the course of progress. He (Mr. Reynold s ) would solemnly un dertake to promise, that i f M r. Smith were re turned to Parliament, he w ou ld prove worthy of the confidence reposed in him. H e was indepen dent alike in social position and in mind, and there fore wanted no favour from the Government. He was prepared to vote for, as he had ever advocated, the widest and most comprehensive measures of reform in all the branches of the State ; and, pledging himself to no party, h e wou ld suppor t " measures" only, without reference to " men." Such was the candidate whom Mr. Reynolds had much pleasure in introducing to the people of Bridport. (Great cheering.) Mr. E. T. SMITH then stood forward and was ' again warmly greeted. After thanking them for the expre sion of sympathy with him and his ob ject, of which, he was gratified to say, he had heard much since his arrival, he proceeded to address them upon the prospects o f t h e general election, and the position of parties, especially of that great party—if it were lawful to call it so—the people. There were all sorts of candidates in the field, here and elsewhere—Liberal, Radical, Conservative, and he knew not what. He found it difficult to class himself with any one of them; he was rather like the "three single gentlemen rolled into one," Liberal, Radical, and Conservative. The truth was, that he did not care a single fig about political parties ; what he wanted was good measures—not measures to make a mere show and pretence of ad vancieg in the right direction, but measures which would really effect something, ay, and a good deal, to bring the instil-nth- T s of the country into har mony with the well-being and material and moral elevation of the industrial classes. All his politics were subordinate to this great object ; and, if they returned him as one of their representatives, as he had not the least doubt they would do—(cheers) — they would find him as steady and true in the pur suit of that object, as is the needle to the pole. He was not for any faction, how much soever it might vaunt of what it would do; what he wanted was measures, he did not care from what men they came. But there was an immediate object to be achieved in Bridport,. that was the maintenance of its independence. (Loudcheering). It was rather too bad, at a time, too, when so much was said, as well as thought, about the liberty and honour of the country, which ought to mean the liberty and honour of the people of the country, and every part of the country, and especially of every constituency of the country ; it was rather too bad, he said, th it in spite of all this, there should be an attempt made, by a gen tl eman whom the e l ec t ors of Brid port had made their representative in the House o . f Commons, to di c t a t e to t h em w h o s h ou ld be their second member. (Cheering.) As h;s friend Mr. Reynolds, h a d as k e d , w h o was M r. Mitchell, that he should assert that ho would make Bridport a pocket borough ? No, no ; the time had gone by for these things. The electors of Bridport had be come too enlightened and independent to permit . any man t o usurp t h e i r functions, an d monopolise the seats of those who ought to be their freely and honestly-chosen rep resen . at i ves i n th e H ouse o f Com mons. H e h a d b een invited to help to break down this unwarrantabl e conspiracy to overr id e t h e free dom of the intelligent people of Bridport, and, please God, he would do it. (Great cheering.) He had male himself a res id ent in the county, an d hi s abode being but a few miles from Bridport, he intended to see what be could help to do for the borough, for its charities, its industry, and its general prosperity. H e did no t as k th em t o e l ect him, that he might take hi s sea t i n th e h ouse, an d leave them to go to the devil; he should come amongst them, week by week, and identify himself with them. They would not have to send deputa tions to London t o h unt him up ; he should be here, hunting them up, an d working with them in every practicable way, so that they might have to boast that Bridpert was not only one of the freest, but one of the most p rosperous boroughs in England. (Cheering.) In conclusion, he said, if they elected him, as he was sure they w ou ld d o , an d h e s h ou ld not fulfil their exp ec t at i ons, let them at any time call a public meeting of the electors, and pass a resolution to that effect, and he pledged himself that he would at once resign his seat. (Cheering.) Mr. CARPENTER then presented himself, and was received with great applause. He addressed him self especially to the " base" attempt that was being made to override the free electors of Bridport, by the sitting member, in thrusting upon thorn a second man, and told them they would be eternally disgraced if they did not put it down. " Look," said Mr. Carpenter, "at th at frightful beast (pointing to a hydra, on the front of an opposite house. Hercules iu the act of st r iki ng him down) —that very fairly symbolises that r evo l t i ng com pound of impud en ce, tyranny, and imbecilit y which Mr. Mitchell has introduced into B r id por t , and that Hercules is Smith striking it down albeit, Smith is a much better looking fellow than the and artist has made Hercules." (Groat laughter, cheering.) The immense meeting seeming much indisposed to separate, although the rai n was falling heavily, Mr. Reynolds again addressed them and Mr. Smith and his friends retired a mi d s t great applause.
