BOROUGH OF KIDDERMINSTER.

GENTLEMZIP,--

'(JOUR present member, Ifr. erkut, having
1. annotp..ceil his intentb.p of retiring •..„,„ the
reprremitstion of your I'. orom b. I b pleasm •
in complying with the resolution so cordially passe,' in
my favour, of the large and influential Meeting held in
your Town last evening., by offering myself a 4 a Candi-
date for your suffrages at the forthcoming Election.

My political nrineiplea are Conservative, and I should
give a cordial, though independent, support to .I.e pre,nt
Government.

I am an attached member of the Church of England
and Ireland. and totally ontmeed to the Ilimontiliahment
and Ilitiendownient of the lriM branch of tl.at Chnreh,
heind convinced that such meaauree would tend -ether
to create religions dimord net etei.ernent than thi peace
end contentment which are in emential to the w.lf! re of
Ireland. I am nevertheless roil. prepared to e' near in
the remove& of my anomalies which non exist in the
Irish Church by an equitable redistribution of its
revenues.

T regret to lind that in POMP boroughs the Rating
Clauses in the Reform 11 11 press hardly on the working
classes. r amPor.vinreff that anvil all effeet woo not in-
tended. and I should desire to see them rill, red by the
restoration of the privilege of emnpounding, or by sum•
other equitable arrangement.

I regard the maintenanee of peace with other nation,,
~nd the entareement awl improvement of our Nl,li raerria
relationa, as the principal "mem of. and glom/tutees for,
our national prosperity. The policy of the ilovernmea,
hoth foreign Mn,! domestic, is, in my opinion, well calcu-
lated to produce these beneficial reunite.

In accordance with these views I should give in,
strongest euoport to the promotion of the efficieney of
our Militia and Volunteer forces, in the latter of which
I have had the honour of serving ever since its forma-
tion.

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

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

I am prepared to support a well-considered scheme
for extending National Education, and consider that
such a Measure will have 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.

a., to become your Member, be ready to devote that time
and all the experience I have acquired to the faithful
