PUBLIC NOTICES.

TO THE ELECTORS

OF Tan
EASTERN D,Viz>lo.,; OF THE COUNTY OF

NORGE S Lli U.

GENTLEMEN-

For six years past the Lib.ral Party in East Worces-
tershire, compkising a very large proportion of the
property, inlel4ence, and numbers of the Constituency,
ha* been wiLboab a iteprettutattve to l'aitamtnt. IRe
Diswlu•ion which is uow iiumtoent wti give you so
opportu.ity of sityp,g woether )0a thi:. state
()I thicgs ftall couldoue.

I shall soon have opportuniLies of exp:aitAbg to on
at langui my •pulitica uplowns, bat vit-ru I to einnody
them in a swipe sentence it would be by •-xpressing my
cordial adherence in respect boLli of foreign and
Domestic Polley to the sta‘eamanhk., address of id e
Marquis of Hartington.

The Water Bill ot the Ministry will stand as a type
of their Home Legis.ation. It was fra..ued for the
privilege of the few against the welfare of the many;
and would, if passed into law, have pluudered the people
of million& to enrich some bodies of shareholders.
desire to see adopted a donaebtic policy of a precisely
opposite ; a policy which will hold popular free-
dom am! pupu.ar welfare above all other considerations;
a policy wiltei, wilt lighten taxation by a sound fiasoco,.

goverawent througu &iso c(iuntry at large.
What has the existing Miniatry doi.oiti these matters?
They inherited from their predecebsura a splendid sur-
plus laid they have drifted into a &fled which will
;nub, sooner or later, heavy additional burdens on the
pa. ple. They promised an improved Government in
counties, aud after six years of Office with a powerful
majority they have talloa to pass a taounty Board Bill,
they have failed to pass a Valuation Bill, and their
solitary Messur.,, t.e Highways Act, has only resulted
o t
in piling iucteasw. burtieus on the buffering itatepa)er.
their Agrictotural ttohlinga Act, professing secure •
i)nmpeusation to 10,-alat katmers, took si,+ay with one
hand wiatt ii pretended to give witia the other, and that
important Cklid, now billeted witd a prolonged and 01•
deceived deprtststou, hsvo still to demand an equitable
Meaaure of Cenaut Bight.

The 8.118 relating to real Property, which have jut
be. u introduced, are utterly luad,quite t 9 meet the
greet and growing qupstion of the ii.fluence of the pro•
sc nt Lauri Laws on the intereus of the nation, Tneso
Bills touch only the fringe of the subject, and are in
tfitniselvca a proof that the neliverance- of the Land from
a Feudal System which has bound it with fetters of irou ,
to the injury of Landlord and Tenaut alike,
.can never
b, hoped for at the hands of a Conservative Adminis-
trativn.

Prow these and other pressing qnestions of Home
Legislation your attention is now to be diverted by
phrases, hard to understand, about tLe aiceadency of
England and the decomposition of the Empire.

I w3l yield to cone hi i:! er desire or determination
to nr.intain the iutegrity, tue it:finance. and the pro,-
itrrity of our wide Dominion ani historical Monarchy.
du: I fail to s,e bow this obj,ct is to be attained by
boacful Dt-aptcites which a, baled by secret Coo-
nations, by petty and needless Wan, by' ruinous
