TO THE ELECTORS

My p: inciples have airilya been ilrehledly liberal. I
bay, for many yea, a take n an aetivi part in political

questions in lily nativii town.

I advocated an extentito of the Sliffreg at an early
period, and I belit v, that it will not be tb,roughly sli-
t:tent until you have the protection of the Ballot.

The next Parliament will hgve to minify the uojuet
Rat. paying (lowa in the Bill recently inowed.

I believe that the posithin of the Established Church
in Ireland, is an injuitice to the gr, at majority of oar
Irish fellow subjects, and, ai a Churchmen, I am coy.
vineed that Mr. Ciladattine's Meamire will parity our
Church by removing a serious grievance.

Sli iul,l my principles mud el.-trader be such as to
entido me to your confidence and support, I shall Mite

TO THE

PRESENT AND FUTURE ELECTORS
OF TIIE

BOROUGH OF KIDDERMINSTER.

YOUR present member, Mr. Grant, having
announced his intention of retiring from tht
representation of your Borough, I have much pleasure
in complying with the resolution so cordially passed in
my favour, at the large and influential Meeting held hi
your Town last evening, by offering myself as a Candi-
date for your suffrages at the forthcoming Election.

My political principles are Conservative, and I should,
give a cordial, though independent, support to the present
Government.

I am an attached member of the Church of England
and Ireland, and totally opposed to the Disestablishment
and Disendownient of the Irish branch if that Church,
being convinced that such measures would tend rather
to create religions discord and excitement than the peace
and contentment which are so essential to the welfare of
Ireland. I inn nevertheless quite prepared to concur in
the removeal of any anomalies which may exist in the
Irish Churl* by an equitable redistribution of its
revenues.

I regret to find that in some boronglis the Rating
Clauses in the Reform 13:11 press hardly on the wortsing
classes. lam convinced that such an effect was not in-
tended, and I should desire to see them relieved by the
restoration of the privilege of compounding, or by bOlliC
ether equitable arrangement.

I regard the maintenance of peace with other nations,
awl the enlargement and improvement of our commercial
relations, as the principal canses of, and guarantees for,
our national prosperity. The policy of the Government.
both foreign and domtstic, is, in my opinion, well calcu-
lated to produce these beneficial results.

In accordance with these views I should give my
strongest support to the promotion of the efficiency .if
our Militia mid Volnoteer forces, in the latter if which
I ha% e had the honour of serving ever since its forum.
lion.

I am in favour of remodelling and reforming our
national institutions from time to time to meet the
gradual developments and requirements of the age, but
against all changes of an uprooting and destructive
character.

I should concur in all measures of retrenchment and
economy in the public expenditare which would not
impair the catiency of the several departments.

I am prep] s.l to support a well-considered scheme
for extending National Education, and consider that
such a Measure will hare the effect of increasing our
material prosperity, by enabling our artisans to maintain
the superiority of English manufactures correspondingly
with the scientific discoveries of the day.

I would protect the funds of all societies which aim
at securing mutual advantages to their members, and
would seek to establish better relations between Capital
and Labour, by referring all disputes in trade to
arbitrat ion.

I have been for some yeara actively engaged in Com-
mercial enterprises, and having at my disposal a con•
aiderable portion of my time. I ah all, it I am an fortunate
at to become your Member, be ready ti devote that time
end all the experience I have acquired to the faithful
discharge of ray duties to you in Parliament, and to the
promotion, to the utmost of say ability, of your local
interest..

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,

Your faithful Servant,

VILLIAII THOMAS MAKINS.
