LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 80, 1863.

rllO the ELECTORS of the OITY of LONDON.
Orynuenno,—ln compliance with the wishes of many of •
my Mends in the City, who think that the seatheents I ex-
pressed at the meeting of the Liberia Asecciatice on Tuesday
hut have not been published so fully as they expected. I venture
respectfully to place before the electces the pounds on which I
claimed the honour of their suffrages.
My pollute! We began with the rust agitation of the Corn
Laws, and I was a member of the Ant.l.Corn law League which,
ender the guidance of Mr. Richard Cobden, achieved their
repeal—the greatest social revolution of the age. I thee took so
active interest in the abrogation of the Navigation laws,
although It was a question which tried the condney of tree
traders mbce than many of the old school of shipowners ooeld
endure.
These and the other fiscal changes of the last twenty years
contributed so much to the happiness and prosperity of the
country that the grounds for controversy lave been narrowed
very much to the Church Rates and the Ballot. On the first of
these I never hesitated for a moment to admit they were moat
discreditable to churchmen, who would gladly raise the sum by
a voluntary rate, and that forcible exaction should canoe without
delay. As to the /isnot, although never opposed to It, I consi-
dered that the growing indifference throughout the country,
and the sickly coins, It was running In the Nouse of Commons.
did not warrant a Qnhotic attempt to peels it on the condi.
tuendes of Ragland at this time, feeling sure that if the want of
It became a grievance It must soon be redressed, and I should
be then reedy to take my &hare in the work.
• On the question of the franchise, I declined to commit myself
to its Immediate =early Mountain, and I based this hesitation,
not only oo what had taken place in America, but In a field for a
falter tell of democratic government than any other place in
the world—Victoria, Australis—where the working dames, being
chiefly men who had paid their own passages involving an out-
lay of 116 or CMO, would compass very favourably with those
they had left behind—that they had acquired universal suffrsge,
and the nee they had pot It Se, as far as they could, was social

ness to extend the ElO franchise to lodgers, and sho would be
glad to me lie pea/maim hi the country as lathe towns.
It Is a great mistake, as I mentioned, to suppose that me-
chenics are now debarred the right of voting, for four shillings
a week lam low In the metal scale that no wodonan above the I
limit of an inferior labourer but lives in a house at a higher
rent, and if he would be a yearly =steed of a weekly occupier be
mods no reduction in the franchise to acquire his qualitication.
On the question of our foreign policy I was quite prepared to
take my stead with Lord PaimentoWs gerneuseent ; and in any
vote for the support of the army and navy, I stated that
while I would endeavour to control any unnecessary or doubt-
ful expenditure, I should Waist upon the strength end ell-
ciency of the services belie such as would prevena
Mformer Mien of the panics of yeses, which were
discredit-
able to the natiou, injurious to commerce, and invited
horn It not argreadon —that the coot was simply a premium
of insurance for security, and any expenditure wan preferable,
in a country like ours, to feeling that we were not covered from
all ordinary or even extraordinary risks.
In defending the privileges of the City I had no misgivings.
It remains the last unimpaired memorial of the dawn of repre-
sentative government-14 traditions are intimately associated
with our national history. It still retains the vi of maturity,
and enjoys the confidence of the vast teflusotlal body within Its
bounds. Stich a municipality deserves the respect of the
country, and I should In common with my fellow citizens endea-
vour to teach all nab innovators that we had the power and the
will to enforce it.
In submitting ray name to the considerstkas of the liberal-
electors represented by their comniittatt I determined to abide
their decision, end not permit myself to be &party to any divtolon
14 the camp. Uniformity of opinion 1 never expected, but
some future period my sentiments, which have been mellowed
by experience. may then prove more acceptable to the consti-
tuently than on the present ocoasion.—Your aunt respectfully,
