TDiasolution of Parliament is imminent;
and I venture a second lime to .pear before you
111 Candidate for the Hew ciente ion id your Borough.
Doting the ,ix[years in which I have had the honor of
a seat in Parliament, I have endeavoured to adhere to
those Conservative pram:aphis under which I sought
your support et the last Election, and which I still
believe to be moat oonducive to the maintenance, in its
integrity, of the Ell itish Con,titution, embodeing au they
do the preservation of the Union between Church and
State ; a peaoeful policy iu foreign affairs which cannot
be maintained without strilt and liberal attention he
the defences of the country ; and the diffusion of •
sound system of Education throughout all classes in the
Realm.

Should you do me the honor of re-electing me, I will
use my best endeavours to promote the local interests
of Weymouth.
I shall have the pleasure very ahortly of personally
soliciting your votee,

And sm. Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GREY DE WILTON.

GINTLEMEN, • S -
IT is with great satisfaction tiuldreis you no
longer as a stranger. I trust that since I bad the •
pleasure of making your acem:tintanee six years ago,
friendships have been cemented mid principles .o testik
between us, that I may sonfidently look forward to the
honour of represeuting you in the next earliarnent.
I t.ave thougit- it courteous towards your present'
member to refrain from rublishing my address until ho I
retirement was announced ; I now myself at liberty I
to do co.
My political principles are so will known to you that
it is unnecessary for me further to particularise them
than by saying that on all the leading remotions of the
day the-y are in harmony with those of that great party
of which Lord Derby is the recognised head.
But while I haye no sympathy with the notion that
we must ere( be meddling and tampering with the land•
marks of our glorious constitution, and while I repu-
diate the notion that change in necessarily amendment,
I would as plainly declare my conviction, that progress
and improvement are both eompatible with, and needed
by, many of our moat honoured and valued institu-
tions.

It -is said that a General Election is close at hand.
Come when it may I shall be rewly to take my stand by
you. I have no higher ambitioo than to be returned to
the House of Commous the true repreaeutative of your
political principles. lam persuaded that you desire to
lee the bleasinFsof education spread amongst the people
—that yonr fsith as to all real reform and improvement
points rather to the great Conservative Party who have
proved that they are honest and in earnest, than to the
self-styled Liberals, who for years past have demonstrated
that they neither understand nor desire to carry those
measures which alone can ensure the nstion's true ad-
vancement.

Gentlemen, lon more appeal to you—l ask you to
secure to me on the day of Election those honours which
on the last occasion were so strangely and so narrowly
wrested from our grasp.
If I am returned to Parliament my best efforts will
be directed to promote the interests of your ancient
Borough.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful Servant,
JOHN WRIGHT TREEBY.
