TO THE IVOR THY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS
OF THE BOROUGH OF BARNSTAPLE.
GE;; ELENIEN,
11 anxious wish to consider duly the honour and
Importance of continuing to represent your ancient Borough
in Parliament, has made me hesitate thus long to disclose my inten.
Lion of withdrawing myself from the approaching contest.
Had I come hastily to my present determination, I should have
ill requited the kind confidence with which you have hitherto ho-
noured me: and having once formed my resolution, I feel 1 should
act ungratefully to my friends in delayirg fora moment in release
them front these promises of support which such a resolution must
cancel.
In taking my leave of you, I trust I may, without vanity, appeal
to the principles on which I have invariably acted in Parliament—to
my constant attention to your local interests—and. particularly, to
my jealous resistance of all encroachments on our invaluable Pro.
testant Establishment, as a proof that I have not been altogether
unworthy of that confidence, which, I flatter myself, you would
again have reposed in toe, had I not most reluctantly adopted the
resolution of retiring.
Gentlemen—The pleasing task remains to me of thanking you,
collectively and individually, for that support and confidence which
I have twice successfully solicited, and to assure you, that whenever
the interests of Barnstaple can be benefited by my exertions, either
in or out of Parliament. I shall not forget that I have enjoyed the
honour of being your Representative during eight eventful years,
and that I am still your fellow-freeman.
And most humble and faithful servant,
, -
