TO CHARLES MOZLEY, ESQ., Beman, MOUNT-PLEASANT.
Sir,—An unexpected Vacancy having occurred in the office of
Comiclllor for Rcdney-strect Ward, we, the undersigned Burgesses ,
respectfully request that you will allow yourself to be nominated as a
Candidate to fill that vacancy.
The high position you occupy as a banker, necessitating, as it
does, the constant exercise of the ripest business faculties, with the
aptitude you have winced, and the interest you have always mani-
fested in every object calculated to promote the well-being of ths.s
your native town, point to you as being fully quail& to represent
us in our present local exigencies.
As burgesses of one of the largest wards in T iverpool, we think this
an opportune period for placing on record (by our votes) Our convic-
tion that the religion you profess ought not t, interfere with the
choice of the people's representatives, whether for the national
or municipal parliament.

should 'yoti consent to stand, we pledge ourselves to use every
legitimate endeavour to secure your return.

TO THE BURGESSE3.OF ROD vEY S PREET WARD.
Gentlemen, —When you did me the honour to wait on me by
deputation, soliciting me to become one of your Representatives in
the Town Council, owing to an unexpected vacancy, I felt com-
pelled at once respectfully but firmly to decline complying with
your request. It would, however, seem that my refusal was to some
extent overlooked, and that without any action or knowledge of
mine yon have done me the further honour of presenting to me the
the above requisition, signed by upwards of 300 electors of your
ward, compris ng gentlemen of every shade of political opinion, and
engaged in every variety of commercial pursuits, asking me to allow
myself to be nominated as a candidate at the ensiling election. Al-
though, from my position, I am averse to incurring greater respon-
sibilities, I cannot, from a " sense of duty," continue to resist ac-
ceeding to a request couched in such flattering terms.
In the event of its being your pleasure to return me as your rep e-
sentative, it shall ba my study to bring to the discharge of my public
duties a painstaking and conscientious regard for the inter. sts of
your ward and the general good of this my native town, ignoring
all party questions', and solicitous alone to support the soundest
measures, regardless of the quarter from which they may emanate.
tinpledged to any course on the leading questions now agitating
the town, it is but right to add that I view with alarm the attempts
now being nude to deprive us of our just right to the Town Dues,
without a fair and equitable compensation.
Gentlemen, in yielding to your wishes, I must now leave the matter
entirely in your hands, as I object to canvass, or use any personal
solicitation whatever., failing, if elected, that I hall be only worthy of
your suffrages by refusing to interfere with the exorcise of your con-
stitutional rights and pt.', ileges.—l am, gen lemen, your most obedient
servant, CHARLES AIOZLEY,
Bank, Lord-street, August 6, 1857. •

The committee for securing the election of Charles Mozley, Esq.,
sit daily at Mr. Lynn's, the Waterloo Hotel, Ranelagh-street, where
every information may be obtained.

T. S.. RAFFLES, Chairman.
