TO MY FELLOW TOWNSMEN, THE ELECTORS
AND BURGESSES OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN.

INVITED by a numerous and influential body of
my Fellow Townsmen, I come forward as a Candidate
for the honour of again re, resentin,- you in Parliament.

I sincerely regret the vote of the House of Commons with reference
to the late unfortunate occurrences at Canton, implying a censure'
upon the Government for their support of the British ap,thorities in
China, a cour.e which I think they were called upon to take by a
regard alike to humanity, and to the honour and interests of the
nation

My opinions, upon the commercial policy by which the trade of
the country ought to be -regulated, as well as upon religious and
political subjects generally, are too well known to you to make it
necessary f,r me to vitt r into any explanation of them. They are
the same which I held in 1852, when you did me the honour to return
me as One of your Representatives by an overwhelming majority g
and although your choice was annulled upon the petition of my
political o!)ponents, which we., universally condemned as being moat
frivolous and vexatious, the report of the Committee of the House
of Commons express:y exonerated me from the slightest imputations,
and I trust that I may hope for the renewed expression of your
co: fidence.

Amongst questions of local interest, the wanton attack upon your
Town Dues is the most prominent, and I shall feel it 'my duty to
continue the most uncompromising ocpoiition to such attentpted
spo:iation
I have devoted many years to the service of the town in the dis-
charge of most important public duties, and if it should again be
your pleasure to elect me as one of your Representatives, the busi-
ness of this great port will have my special and zealous care, whilst
attending to the general intere is of the country.
I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful servant,
CHARLES TURNER;
Dinale Head, Liverpeol, 10th March. 1857.

TO THE ELECTORS AND BURGESSES OP THE
BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW-TOWNSMEN,—
Ili DISSOLUTION of PARLIAMENT, which
has been announced by the First Minister of the
Crown, will again place in your hands the trust which, for the last
four years, his ben confided to me.

It is hardly necessery to say thet t' e immediate cause of that dia.
solationes the affirmation. by a mejerlty of she House of Commons,
of a resolution proposed by Mr. Cobeen, being in effect, a censure
on her Majesty's Government. In that vote I did not concur. On
the contrary, I felt it my duty to give a cordial and active support
to the measures adopted 1:y the Government, in defers., of the
honour of our national flag, and of the tires and property of our
fellow-countrymen abroad. Into t e question of the recent pro.
ceedings in China, I will not now enter. My opinions on that sub-
ject arc acre .dy before you, and I I' hall hope to have a future oppor.
tunity of stating them more at length.
On questions of general policy, I have seen no reason to change
the opinions I expressed when you first did me the honour of elect-
ing me one i.f your Representatives. On those of more local interest,
my views are so entirely in accordance with your own that I should
hardly have felt it necessary to allude to them, were it not for the
determined and unjust attempt which is still bring made to deprive
Liverpool of the Town rues. You will recollect that in the last
'Sent in of earlfenent a Public Bill was introduced with this object
by Mr. Lowe, the Vice-Presi ient of the Board of Trade. That Bill
was happily def:ated by the honesty and independence of the House
of Commons. Lacking the courage again to attempt to carry such
a measure, the Board of Trade has this near sanctioned and sup-
ported a Private Bill, having the same object in view. It Is for
you to say, whether you are prepared to submit to such an Injni.
flee. For my own part, irrespective of the question of the To.sn
Dues, I have long been of opinion that toe Board of Trade, as at
present constituted, is a perfect mockery of the mercantile interests
of the country. and that in no branch of the executive is there a
fusee the rough and searching refoien required.
As I shall hope to have the [honour cf personally paying my
respects to you very shortly, I will not now enter into other questions
of national or local importance:
Should it, however, be your pleasure again to confer on me the
distinguished honour of being one of your Representatives, I shall
feel it my duty, bound as I am to the interests of my native town by
every tie of social friendsh'p and commercial intercourse, and deeply
unxious for her prosperity and moral and religious welfare, to give
those questions my best and most unremit.ing attent on.
I have the honour to he, Gentlemen,
• Your faithful and obedient servant.
