fluential members of your Ward,_ and beg to place .iny services
at your disposal.
Should it be your pleasure to elect me one of Represen-

TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF SOUTH

TOXTETH WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
Y Term of Office, as one of your Representatives
in the Town Council, will expire on the Ist November.
laving had the honour of being twice elected by you, I have
for the last six years zealously endeavoured to discharge the
duties of the trust you committed to r.z.e in a faithful and con-
scient'ous manner, by a regular attendance at the different
committees on which I was placed, and in taking an active
part i::. their proceedings. lam led to believe that my past
conduct has received your approval, from the numerously and
influentially signed requisition I have now received, soliciting
me to become for the third time a candidate to represent you.
Under this impression, I cheerfully comply with your wish;
and should you be pleased to confer on me the renewed honour
of re-electing me, I can only promise that I shall give the same
diligent attention to. the discharge of my duties, and that I
shall be influenced alone by a conscientious desire to act, as
regards all matters that may come before the Council, to the
best of my judgment, for the benefit of my constituents, and
the good of the Borough generally.
I am, GENTLEMEN,

TO THE BURGESSES AND ELECTORS OF EVERTON

AND KIRKDALE WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
AN influential deputation having waited on me to
request I would allow myself to be nominated as a
Candidate for your Ward at the ensuing Municipal Election, I
hdve with much pleasure aceedeA to your request.
As a resident for eighteen years in your ward, I feel the
strongest interest in its prosperity, as well as that of the town
at large ; and should I be so fortunate as to be elected your
Representative, you may rely on my best energies being
devoted to your s?rvices.
My religious and political principles being well known to
fon, I need not enlarge on those topics. There is only one
other which suggests Itself to me, as one on which you may
desire to know my sentiments : that is,, the rating of the
docks ; and on this question I have always entertained
decided opinions, and can see no valid reason why they should
not bear their fair share of local taxation.
I have the honsur to remain,
G:ntlemen,
Your faithful servant,
CHAS. FREDK. CARNE.

TO THE ELECTORS OF ABEItCEOMBY WARD,

GENTLEMEN,
THE Period for which I was elected a Councillor for
your Ward will shortly expire, and I shoOld not have
presumed to offer.myself again to your notice, had I not been ,
solicited to do so by a deputation from a highly-respectable
body of Electors. I may be excused being flattered by this
compliment having been paid to me, and I accede to their
wishes with pleasure. The kindness of my brother townsmen
has been the cause of bringing me so, frequently before the
public, that my opinions are sufficiently well known, without
its being necessary for me to enter into any explanation respect-
ing them on the present occasion.
- I have always been a strenuous advocate for a Comprehensive
Improve nent of the Borough, so that its thoroughfares may
be rendered more convenient for the business transactions of
the public, and its dwellings more comfortaele and healthy for
the Labouring Classes, - whose occupations compel them to
reside within its boundary. Above all other improvements, I
should like to see such approaches made to our Piers and
Landing-stages as would render them safe awl commodious to
the public, and an ornament to our existing dock works. At,
present they are in a state dangerous to all pedestrian., and a
disgrace to our noble port. Lt is high time that the Mersey
Docks and Herb, ur Board and the Town Council should take
'this matter into their serious onsideraion, with the view of
-effecting this loudly-called-for improvement. • The Mersey
Docks and Harbour Board have proposed a pliin for facilitating
the transit of merchandise and cattle across the river, and a
most judicious step it is ; but why has not some thought been
bestowed on the convenience and safety of millions of numan
beings who cross the Mersey in the course of the year? The
facility given to the transit of merchandise and Lattle will, of
course, increase the danger and difficult,i,ps of whic'e. the public
so justly. complain. I defy the art of Min to devise aily plan
for forming a really good and un objectiOna-Ae appro.icii to the
river, without the sacrifice tie George's Dock Rasta. The
scheme is chiefly opposed, I believe, by the shipowners, under.
the .erroneous impre. sion that it would be injurious the
docking of their vessels. I use the term "erronenus '? because
I have high authority for stating that. the dreaded hijary is
imaginary, rather than real. Let those eminent engineers, the
Messrs. Hartley, who have shown such wonderful talent and
ingenuity in the construction of our dock works, be directed to
design a plan upon the pri•eciple I have suggested, and I will
answer for it that every difficulty will vanish, excepting that,
perhaps, of providing the funds to meet the' expenditure; bUt
I should be sorry to think that, with our boasted commercial
spirit and enterprise, even this difficulty may not be overcome.
If the Electors do me the lonour of sending me again into
the Council Chamber as their Representative, I shall support,
to the utmost of my power, as I hive ever done, those measures
which may appear to me best calculated to promote the welfare
and happiness of the vast and busy community in which we
live.—l am, with much respect, Gentlemen, your faithfu'
humble Servant;

TTAVING been waited upon by a large and influential
I •ff Deputatish of your -body with .a Requisition' very
numerausl led, invite ig me again to become a Candirtate
to repre,ent -pair Ward in the Town Council, I acceded to the
request, ar.t.:, at once placed my, services at your disposal. • •
During the time which I have had the honour of represent-
Lig your interests, I have carefully.watehed every movement
made, which had for its object the hotter government of the
Corporate Estate,—the reform of every system of management
not based on sound and satisfactbry principles; and I have
endeavoured to promote and further every useful measure cal-
culated to increase our Corporate revertue, in order that such
improvements as are really necessary 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
b 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 prowl position which • I
have heretofore held, I will endeavour steadfastly to pursue
that coulee of procedure which has given so much satisfaction
to you, and whick, by your desire, I wish fully to maintain,
and carry out judiciously all the necessary requirements of the
ratepayers.
• I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful ard obe-
dient servant, JOHN SHIMMIN.

TO THE ELECTORS OF VAUXHALL WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
YIon[AVING been requested by a Deputation,
•repre-
senting a numerous and influential portion of the
stituency of your Ward, to offer myself as a CANDIDATE
at the ensuing Election, I have consented to place my services
at your disposal.
Actively engaged as I have been for thirty-six years in
carrybig on a business which li-s necessarily brought me very
much into connection with m:-.-_,, of the electors resident in
your ward, I feel that I do not come before you wholly
Unknown.
I nace no hesitation in avowing myself friendly to those
political principles which, while avoiding rash and hasty
changes, would carefully reform every proved abuse in the
State ; and if elected to a seat in the Municipal Council of my
native town, I should endeavour faithfully to carry out the
same views in relation to our local affairs, while I would do so
in no party spirit, acting to the best of my judgment for the
good of the whole communit e.
I would advocate a strict economy in the management and
disposal of the finances of the Corporation.
I would support the formation of public parks accessible to
the population of the several wards, and am favourable to
'el, measure conducive to the health and well-being of the
people.
....did you do me the honour to elect me as 0n..: of your
representatives in the Town Council, I would endeavour to
the best of my ability to discharge the hnportant duties which
would in that event devolve upon me.—l am, gentlemen,
your faithful servant, SAMUEL CEARNS,
