TO THE BURGESSES OF VAUXHALL WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
HAVING been waited upon by a large and influential
Deputation of your body with a Requisition very
numerously signed, inviting me again to become a Candidate
to represent your Ward ix the Town Council, I acceded to the
request, and at once placed my services at your disposal.
During the time which I have had the honour of represent-
ing your interests, I have carefully watched every movement
made, which had for its object the better government of the
Corporate Estate, the reform of every system of management
not based on sound and satisfactory principles ; and I have
endeavoured to promote and further every useful measure cal-
culated to increase our Corporate revenue, in order that such
improvements as are really necessiry to meet the growing
wants of our largely-increasing trade might be effectually
carried out.

That great and important improvements are required, not
only in this Ward, but throughout the town generally, must
be self-evident. In resigning my trustinto your hands, I can
with confidence refer to my past conduct as a proof that I have
not been influenced by any party feeling, but solely actuated,
in the discharge of my onerous duties, through a desire to
maintain, in their fullest integrity, the rights of my consti-
tuents.
Should you again place me in the prou ; position which I
have heretofore held, I will endeavour steadfastly to pursue
that course of procedure which has given so much satisfaction
to you, and whicl4, by your desire, I wish fully to maintain,
and carry out judiciously all the necessary requirements of the
ratepayers...
I have the honouf to be, gentlemen, your faitkful and obe-
dient servant, JOHN SHIMMIN.

TO THE BURGESSES OF SOUTH TOXTETH WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
TIAYING been solicited by a respectable deputation
to permit myself to be nominated as a CANDIDATE at
t e ensuing Municipal Election, I have come to the resolution,
though with much diffidence, of acceding to the request.
From a residence in the Park of nearly 20 years, and from
the nature of my business engagements during that lengthened
period, I trust I have gained a knowledge of its varied capabi-
lities and requirements.
In matters of a practical nature affecting the value of pro-
perty, and the sanitary condition of the ward, I should be
enabled to confer benefit on the ratepayers beyond those whose
knowledge in this respect is purely-theoretical.
. .

Sprung from the people, if will-at all times be my anxious
desire to promote the happiness and prosperity of my fellow-
townsmen, and particularly to advance, by all educational,
social, and recreative measures, the condition of the artizan
and labouring population.

I am of opinion that all public and private property should
bear a fair proportion of local taxation.
In politics I am,liberally Conservative, ready to extend to all
who conscientiously differ from me the same rights and privi-
leges and the same independence of action I claim for myself.
Though disposed to advance with the spirit of the times, and
to reform with unsparing hand all acknowledged abuses, I
trust I shall always be found the honest, though humble, pro-
tector of our admirable and time-honoured constitution.
Having ample leisure, I shall, if elected, devote my time and
energies to the service of the town to which I am under such
deep obligations, and where the results of my labours are prin-
cipally invested.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your
obedient, humble servant, ALEXANDER MILLER.

FELLOW BURGESSES, , .
WORDS are inadequate to express my disgust at the
apathetic feeling which pervades your Wards at this
particular crisis : I allude to your want of energy. in not
bringing forward candidates of Conservative principles to
represent you on the Ist of November next. What, may I ask,
is the cause of your indifference to the principles which you
profess to enunciate ? Has some powerful narcotic been
infused into your systems ? or have fair promises (made only
to be broken) been held out to you ? To my mind it seems
most suicidal that you should allow your adversaries to exer-
cise such an unlimited sway over you. I entreat, I implore of
you, in the name of common sense, for the sake of those grand
and noble principles which you profess to follow, to throw off
the shackles of despotism and republicanism, and be deter-
mined to preserve the grand bulwark of our constitution. This
you can only effect by returning true Conservatives in the
stead of out-lying and deceptive Radicals, at the forthcoming
Municipal Election.
I am, Fellow Burgesses, your obedient Servant,

GENTLEMEN,

signed by electors of the ward, of all parties, inviting
me to become a candidate for re-election as one of your repre-
sentatives in the Municipal Council, I have much pleasure in
acceding to the request.
My long connection with the ward renders it unnecessary for
me to make any declaration of my sentiments, which are well
known to you. Should you do me the honour of re-electing
me, my best exertions shall be used to promote your interest,
and the general welfare of the town.
I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
