JUDAS ISCARIOT AND THE CONSERVATIVES.
BROTHER ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD,
ERMIT me to address a few more words to you
previous to the important trial which will take
p ace on Tuesday next. It may be that you will listen to the
IP
voice of reason, or it may be that you will remain stolid and
indifferent as to your future welfare, and likewise of that
great constitutional body . you profess to belong to. I can
assure you it was with pain and regret that I witnessed your
duplicity and treachery on the Ist of November, 1856, (you—
the forty-five I am alluding to) who voted for the Compton-
house Radical—one who professes to be a fellow-neighbour,
and a fellow-citizen, and who takes as his motto, "Do unto
others as you wish to be done by." Yet with impunity this
same man can embark into so many branches of business and
sell his goods (in many instances) under the market prices.
What the quality of those articles are, it is not for me td say.
I would ask you, fellow-ratepayers, what you think of any
Representative carrying on the trade of a linen draper, milli-
ner, boot and shoe maker, perfumer, stationer—and last, not
least, tea dealer. Is it fair? Is it just? Is it reasonable that
one man should monopolise the different trades in this manner,
to the great injury of those very fellow-tradesmen who returned
him as their Representative. It is without exception the coolest
piece of effrontery I ever met with on the part of any man, to ask
his constituents to return him a second time, after intruding
upon their different trades, to the loss of themselves and fami-
lies. What a beautiful thing consistency is, when we can meet
with it ? Let me earnestly implore of you, for the sake of your-
selves and families, (who are dependent upon you,) to awake
from your slumbers, to shake off the effects of the narcotic
which has been administered to you in such large dosing
speeches, promises, pledges, and so forth. Believe no longer
in such hallucinations ; but be resolved no longer to allow a
man of James R. Jeffery's position to sell you again. He has
indeed sold you (but not in the same way as Judas Iscariot
was sold, who could not retrieve himself,) liy the dodges of his
display on the Ist day of November, 1856. It is not too late
for you to repent of your egregious folly andedyour supineness.
You have another golden opportunity as, .
oru you of counter-
acting the baneful influence you disseminated three years ago
throughout Lime-street Ward, by, not recording one single
vote for the mob orator. If you do, you will introduce Papacy

advice to you, and take heed to his
saying. In conclusion, my fellow tradesmen, be steadfast,
unmoveable ; and consider that it was through the treachery
of forty-five of your own body that you returned the frothy
declaimer of Compton House. Let your energies be put in
motion, and you may depend upon it that Mr. Wilson will be
triumphantly returned, in the place of the interfering and
obnoxious Mr. Jeffery.
I am, Brother Elector

Your obedient Servant,
London-road, Oct. 26, 1659. THOMAS BANNER.
