THE PRESS.

To the ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of MARYLEBOI E.
Gentlemen,
T Must in the first place condole with you on
1 the Nemature decease of your late lamented Representa-
tive. whose sell-sacrificing liberality and philanthropy have iden-
tified the name of Dudley Stuart with hatred of oppression, and
sympathy with distress.
'laving been unexpectedly honoured with an invitation from a
Meeting of Electors to make a statement of toy political opinions,
with a view to being proposed as a Candidate for your Borough,
1 lost no time in doing so. And I am happy to Sod that the an-
swer I have since given to a Deputation, in further explanation
of my sentiments, both upon political matters in general, and
upon the all-important question of the War, has led to my re-
ceiving from many quarters assurances of influential support, if
I should allow myself to be put in nomination.
Under these circumstances, I have determined to solicit the
honour of your suffrages.
The public questions are few indeed, on which, in the course
of fifteen years, 1 have not pronounced an opinion, whether by
my votes, my speeches, or by writings. I shall, however, be
happy to answer to the beat of my ability any further inquiries
you may think fit to put to me.
But I can give no pledge beyond that of my past public life.
If I cannot be returned as au independent Representative, I
will not be returned at all. I never have sat, and I never will
sit, on any other terms; and I would submit to you that he who
could be capable of sacrificing his convictions for the sake of
your votes, would be on au) convenient occasion equally capable
of sacrificing your interests to his own.
If you do me the great honour of approving me as the tried
friend of civil, religious, and commercial freedom; as the pro-
moter of good local self-government, and of that efficiency in
local administration which is the only true economy ; as the
supporter of extended franchise and general education ; anti as
the advocate of the present just and necessary war—a war un-
dertaken in concert with our brave French neighbours for the
purpose of checking the encroachments of despotism, and of
ultimately, with God's blessing, conquering for Europe a safe
and honourable peace; if, above all, you feel with me that we
ought to strain every nerve to succour effectively and at once
our struggling forces in the Crimea. the wasted survivors of that
gallant army, so lately embarked from our shores in the pride of
health, of equipment, and of numbers; if you agree with me
that we are bound to reinforce and re-fit, without stint, that
sadly diminished band of heroes, whose noble prowess and ill-
requited humanity, whose devoted obedience and uncomplaining
endurance. make us proud of the name of Englishmen, but
whose losses, privations, and sufferings it makes our hearth
bleed iu the midst of our exultation to think upon; if, on these
terms, and with these sentiments, you place me in the proud
position of your Representative, I shall endeavour to merit your
approbation, and testify my gratitude by a diligent attention to
my public duties, and a sedulous promotion of your local
'ntereits.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
..e, Dec. 7, 1854. EBRINGTON.
