TO THE ELECTORS

OF THE WESTERN DIVISION OF

STAFFORDSHIRE.

GENTLEMEN,—
T am induced. at the urgent request of many
infloential Electors. most respectfally to offer
myself an one of tho Candidates for tho reprenentatlon
of the Western Division of the County of Staffurd.

I have previously had the honour of representing a
large part of the division when it was consented with
North Staffordshire, and took a strong interest in the
%winos important questions which effected the Mining
and Manufacturing District', of the County at large.
You can therefore firm some opinion of my fitIIPPI for
the trust which I solicit at your bandit. From the expe.
tierce of the past you may be able to decide whether or
not I am likely to do my best to promote the general
welfare of so important a constituency.

The new Reform Bill has already greatly enlarged the
number of electors. hut it appears to me that the eiweiti-
tueney of the counties may, with advantage, be somewhat
further extended.

I have alwari advocated the appointment of County
Financial lloyrrla, upon the principle that all toxpaye,
should, by their representatives, Imre some coutrel over
the expenditure.

There are many social questions of great importance
which demand careful and anxious attention. such as
popular ed oration, the reformat ion of juveniie criminals,
and the prevention of crime. These great objects have
had much of my consbleration, and I hart dune what I
could to promote them.

Some reduction of our national evnenditare is much
to be desired, if it ran be prudently effected, in order to
diminish the general tovati in, and, if possible. to relieve
the Agricultural interest from the burden of the Malt
Tax.

I am not blind to any of the defects of the United
Church of England and Ireland, and sloth ever be ready
to reform all abuses therein, and to amend where im-
provement in required. The Church, an a Protestant
Institution, is coutiected with the State, but all religions
nre /rec. uo autl c 0.., U 4.411 nor
chip Orel according to hid conscientious belief, without
the slightest hindrance.

A proposal has been made to revolutionize in some
degree our Comditution. Ly the dise,•tahlt,hment of one
branch of the National Protestant Church, and to deprive
it of its revenues lam not prepared to assent to the
policy of doing this Moreover, if such a grave question
as the disendowment of the Irish Church is to be consi-
dered, we should certainly be informed as to the appli-
cation of her confiscumd property. The funds so
acquired ought not to be left to the chances of a general
scramble; and any scheme which proposes to deprive
the Protestant Clamli of Ireland of its endowments
should, at the same time, declare bow it means to dis-
pose of them afterwards.

Allow me to observe, in conclusion, that I an, no
bigoted supporter of any Institution because of its anti.
quay; but, while I am not desirous of altering things
from a mere capricious love of change, I shall ever be
willing to make all needful improvements.

I earnestly desire to promote the real pronresti of the
people, to advance the moral and idlysOul cell-being of
the nation; and if you do me the honour to elect me as
one 14 your Representatives, I will endeavour honestly
and truly to ti.) my duty.

I have the honour to remain,

Gentlemen,

Your very obedieut servant,

SMITH CHILD.
