ELECTION OF JOSEPH C. EWART., ESQ.
FELLOW ELrcrons,—
THE friends of Reform, Education, and
Economy, had hoped that, by confining their efforts
on this occasion to the re-election of the present Li`;eral Member
(al hough the late Municipal Elections and the state of the Register
would base jtis•.fied another course), the town wen'd have been
spared the annoyanc, and expense of a conte-ted election. A Sine
portion of the Conservstive party, on the other hand. were so well
satisfied with the neal and ability displayed by Mr. Horafall and
Mr. Ewart that they were onxiou3 to Wlow th 7, representation of the
Borough o remain in the hands of the present members.
But Mr. ChatlesTurner, backed by the more Violent of his part',
araia seeks your s.affragett end the wishes, if net tinder the
eproazhes, or an important s!cton of the Conservative parry,
strves to gratify his ambition by me.trs of a personal canvass.
Should Mr. Charles Turner ba successful, you will not only have
added one to the,bigoted and narrow minded section of politic ans
on all educational ant relij.ous questions, but the representation
of the lioroudi in Parliament will be enirely in the hands cf the
Conserva'ive party.
The serv;ceb of Mr. Ewatt. who has proved himself to he one of
the most useful and Industrious member.; that ever r presimtsi us
in Parliament, and the steady and consistent supporter of Civil
and Re igloos Liberty, Reform, and wide-spread Education, wall be
lost to us • and the Liberal party, which forms so large a portion of
cur population, will be excluded altogether trorn any share hi the
Rep,sentation.
FELLOW ELECTORS I THE TIME DRAWS :VEAR when your
opinions will have to be expressed by your votes ; avoid all promises
to the Conservarive party; give no split votes; and let your watch-
w.; rd be— i- LUM P FO It EW A R !!

TO MY FELLOW TO ITNSNI.EN, THE ELECTORS

OF LIVERPOOL,

G ENTusmEN,
AN extraordinary combination of parties in the
State b?s succeeded in defeating Ministers on Mr.
Cobden's Motion relative to the Chinese War, and the Queen has
resolved to appeal to the sense of the Country on the question. To
that motion I unhesitatingly gave my determined opposition, and it
is for you to say tu-,W far that vote was it, accordance with your
wishes. . . .

It is unnecessary for me to enquire into the legal fechnicalties in
which this question was attempted to be shrouded. It is enough
the'. the lives and properties of our Christian fellow subjects are In
imminent danger, and any retreat from those proceedings, at su.h a
moment, might be disastrous in the extreme.
No one can more deeply deplore, than I do, the sad necessity under
which Sir J. Boivring was compelled to resort to the dreadful cala-
mities of War, particularly with a people who, unrestrained by the
IVO obligations, observed by civilized nations on such occasion,,
commit acts of cruelty, at which humanity shudders.
To you, my blow townsmen, I now appeal for your decision on
my conduct.
All other questions seem, for the moment, to sink into compara-
tive insignificance. But there is one to which I cannot help
alluding—the treatment of Sir J. M•Neill and Colonel Tuiloch, rela-
tive to their Crimean Report.
The Memorial nhich I had the honour to transmit to those gen-
tlemen from Liverpool has, I trust, aroused the public feeling, and I
hope that justice, though tardy, may ye' be done to them for the
service which they have rendered to the country.
As to our own Local Questions, let me hope that I may riot have
been considered neglectful array duty; for I can most holy say that.,
in every act of mine, I have been most anxious to be the Represen-
tative of
I will only add, that if you again honour me with a renewal of the
trust you so recently confided to me, It shall, at least, be disc arged
with honesty and zeal, and with the anxious desire to promote the
prosperity rind hapeir.ess of a town, to which I am so much attached
by al. the ties of birth and of natural affection.
I have the honour to be Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servant,
JOS. C. EWART.
