TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH WILTS.

GorrLaming,—
the General Election must soon take
place, I think that the time is come when I
ought, pub,icly, to announce my intenti.n of sol,cit rg,st
your hands, the honour of becoming One of yout
Repre.enta.ives in Parlik.ment.

think it t:iihi—sii;;CriTii.Sta." le that it is my ambition
to be returned by 3ou as an entirely liMepeedeat
Member, for I belie ee that I at k:1 thus be in a far better
pos:tion to benefit the Constituency than if I were to
enter the lloum of Cominona plelged to supplrt .11 the
!cm of
.one party, and to oppose all me:wales InotiAlit

forward by ilny -other.
-
I believe taet both the home and foreir,n policy which
lois hitherto been pursued by Lord Palmerston has
rnerally been deeervi g the approval of this country,
and so long as coot continues to be the ease, I clotH
certainly support his Government.
Being myself the owner of landed property in the
county, and also the occupier of a considerable farm, I
naruralry am deeply concernrrd in all that relates to the
Agricultural interest, end the stake that I dove in tho
iflatter will, I trfist, be a fill ftlei,•nt guarantee that Isbell
heurtily support any measure likely to tend to its well-
doing.
As a member of the Pr2ferttant Church of F.ogland, I
Ciii mor.t anxious that ti ^lt-item andill•feeling witch
exist on the subject of the Conynkirrittai question ghoul
be Imtasiemd-te vy ete arnrcAWll4l4lsestmere4 .it. I
hithever the, a measure es the esidbYst must be brought
foward by the next Parliam• nt, aud I do not despair of
soltlemect satisfactory both to Churchtueo and Non-
cord, mists being ;arty, d at.
•In tr.e lie-cut uhsettled state of 'Bairn in America,
U is,absolutrly necessary tdat 'his cotintry should keep
in a taste of thorundi efficieney our Novel and
%%jittery force., es toe kcowle ge of our strength is tie
Mdt mecuriey against etimir from abroad. I believe,
however, that without impairing the efliaiency of either
b, %nib of the service., a reduction in the expenditure
of the country may sat-1y be made.
Another question sehreh, in all prob tbility, will
cm.dlttiv the attention of tie next Parliament is that of
Blectoral Reform. In in, optnion, no mear•ure has
vet been hroudlit forward which has fairly nir t the
tido.-; for my own purr, I thick that it is She duty of
overnmenr to bring forward a bill having for in.
°Nett II moderate and welt considered extension of the
frstiel ire.

I Mr.

I hope to have the pleasure of calling on as many of
t'ie Alec:tors sa 'time will permit, and it is only fair to
thosil who have already kindly promised me their
snpiliwt, the. I should she this opportuoity of pledging
myself to go to the Poll on thy day of Ehrution.
I have the honour to he tientlemon,

My omiticsi opinions are, as they were then, Conger-

by wlionrioewer it may be brought in, that I do not con-
sider to be c.lculatel to benefit the community at large.
I am, as I waa then, a staunch adlprent to the
doorrines of the Church of England, but am anxious to
treat, with due cousideratim those of other penuasione

I hope to ree the industry of the agriculturrist reeved
from every unfair burden, and
.am an advocate for the
repeal of the Malt Tan.
I trust to see our Army and Navy maintained on an
efficient footing, and that neither branch of the service
mat Ima reduc...i to that extent nine, ren,ier. is rein
stet wont co its proper strength, a work of great d.fB-
- and en .rmone expense. It um an advoc .te of non-
intervention in the chavnteu of foreign powe,s, and for

GICSTLIKIIN,—
"IN seeking at your handi a renewal of that trust
which, for the hut wiz years, you have beeh
pleased to confide in me, I hardly thick it necessary to
ctiver into • recapitulst on of my politicial views.
I hope I may be alloistd, with some gratification, to
call your attention to my votes in the House of
C.MM,,011, which, I trust, you will find in soeordance
with the principles, to support which I was returned—
tee.beist interests of the wientry.

_ .
V those. with whom I generslly acted were no'
uniformly successful, at any rate we may claim to hove
resisted on several occasions ill.oonsidered and illtinirl
measoree, opposed alike to the welfsre of the people,
and that coustitution which it is our glory and duty to
uphold. . . .

W,th regard to the question of Church Rates, while
I will ever iespect the copecientious scruple, of those
who diibent from the Church of ugland, I will never
he a party to the releasmg of property from its duty of
supporting the fabric of our Churches, and maintaiiiine
