TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF
}TOME.

Gentlemen,
THE elevation of your late Member to the
House of Lords has caused a vacancy in the Representa-
tion of your Borough, for which I have been solicited to offer
myself.
In asking for the high honour of your support, I have the
pleasure to know that I amnot addressing myself to strangers
but to those who are connected with my family by old associe.
lions, and in whom I have ever felt a lively interest.

In announcing myself to your notice as +a
" Conservative," I
hope and believe that I am not less liberal in my views and opi•
DiOhli than those who would arrogate to themselves the exclu•
sive possession of liberal opinions.
The true policy of every real Conservative must be to advance
with the times In which we live, and I slioul.l be found a zealous
supporter of every measure of useful reform and social progress
which tended to the interests of toy fellow•cuuutrvmon.

I Ain not a member of the Administrative Deform Association,
but I am equally anxious to tot ward all useful and practical
measures for improvements in the public service, and for recur?.
bitting the claims of uicrit alone; and I doubt not that economy
and efficiency will be alike promoted by a searching investiga•
tion into the present mode in which patronage is administered
and the public department.; conducted.
I am a sincere Protestant, and an attached Member cf the
Established Church, but I consider all classes of my country.
men entitled to equal freedom in the enjoyment of their Belt.
gion. I cannot, however, support the Maynooth grant, because
I believe It to be objectionable in principle; and though I would
advocate equal rights to all, I see no reason why the Roman
Catholics should have a preference over every other class.
Upon the subject of Church Rates, I should hail with seta.
faction any plan for putting an end to the heartburnings and
divisions which now attend the question; and I would support
any well-devised measure for providing a substitute for the
present mode of rating, and which, while it would preserve our
venerable fabncs from falling into decay, would, at the same
time, allay the conscientious scruples of those who now feel
aggrieved.
I cannot view the present position of the country as satisfac.
tory, or one that an Englishman should be proud of. Having
hardly emerged from one war, which, whilst it added glory to
our arms, and proved the spirit of British soldiers, at the same
time showed the culpable negligence of the Home Government,
we appear to be fast drifting into another, from similar incapa-
city; while the nation is insulted and lowered in the estimation
of the world, and all discussion iu the house of Commons is
sought to be stifled.
Should your suffrages confer upon me the proud position of
Representing you in Parliament, it will be my constant aim to
uphold the honour and dignity of the empire; and my humble
endeavours shall never be found wanting in promoting the local
interests and prosperity of your Borough.
I remain, Gentlemen, your faithful Servant,
EDWARD THYNNE.

year obtained, it will certainly pay 2 per cent. Remember that
1,3001. increase per week in the Eastern Counties Traffic, gives
us an additional half per cent.. Your shares are the cheapest of
any in the market
Pray attend the next half yearly meeting, and if you can but
make your directors act straight, your shares in a few weeks will
be worth tit least double their present value.
