EASTERN D.NISION OF THE COUNTY OF

WORCESTER.

GENTLEMEN-

For six years past toe Lib rat Party in East Worces-
tershire, compLisiug a very 'largi3 propiiriiuu of the
property, iutenigeiice, and numbers of the Constituency,
has been wit.heu a it-presenta'rve in Parliament. The
Disbnin now iunnineut wii. give you an
oppQrtunity o a g whether )ou desire that tins state
in tin.,gs Ii

I shalt soon. Iletft, opportuniaes of explaining to you
at lei,gift ruy polite:7on opinions, but were I to embody
them tu a single sentence it would be by expressing my
cordial adherence in respect both of Foreign and
Domestic Polley to the statesmanlike addiess of th e
Alarquis of Harlington.
'Fbe Water Bill of the Ministry will stand as a type
of their thane Legis ation. It was framed for the
privilege of the few against, the welfare of the many ;
and would, if passed into law, have plundered the peopts
of millions to enrich some bodies of shareholders. 1
desire to sae adopted a domestic policy ef piecise,y
opposite name ; a pohey rhicli will hold isipuier free-
dom and populai welfare above all other considerations;
a policy whieo wilt lighten taxation by a sound rittsuce,
and relieve buroeus by a .wise xtensi.a.o: self-
government through the country at large.
What has the existing Ministry done in these msttert?
They inherited from thsir predeceasors a cplendid sur-
plus and they have- drifted into a dalcit which wt.!
entail, sooner or later, heavy additional burdens on the
pe, pie. They promised an improved Government in
Counties, and after six years of Office with a powerful
rosij,,rity they have failed to past a County
they have failed to pass a Valuetiou Bill, and their
solit try Measure, the Highwals Act, has on:y resulted
in piling increased burdens on the suffering liatepayer.
Their Agricultural Holdings Act, professlo; '.. 2 secure
Compensation to Tet-oent, Eanuers, took aw,.r with one
band what it pretended to giro with the other, and that
important class, now sfll,cted with a prolonged and un-
deserved depression, have still to demand au equitable
Measure of Tenant Eight.
The Bills relating to real Property, which have just
tie I introduced, ,tr:: utterly inadrquate to meet the
vest and growing question of the i, fluence of the pre-
sent Land Laws on the interests of tim nation. Tues..:
bills touch only the fringe of tne subject, and are ia
themselves a proof that the deliverance of the Laud from
a Fsudal System which has bouod it with fetters of iron,
to the injury of Landlord and Tenant alike,
.can never
b., hoped for at the hands of a Conservative Adminis-
trattru.

From these and other pressing questions of Rome
Lesitlation your attention is now to be diverted by
hard to understand, about the ascendency of
England and the decompu,ition of the Empire.
I will yield to none in either desire or determination
to roain,siu the LiteArily, the influence, end the pros-
perity of our wide Ifunialion vial historical Monarchy.
But I fail to see how this object is to be attained by
nuastful lle,,pu:cues whiclt Iv, be ied by secret Con-
, venticns, by petty and needless Wars, by ruinous
Fiance, and Legislative incompetency.
