TO THE WORTH Y AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS 1
OF WEY3IOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS.
GENTLEMEN.
FROM the intelligence received, and the tone of the
ditferent publications which have reached us from SVeyinoutli,
se are convinced that any appeal to you in the shape of argument
would Is throwt: away in your present state of excitement. The
,ribunals of the country, before which the Johnstone affairs will be
taught., as soon as the usual forms will permtt, must decide upon
the innocence or guilt of the individual accused. In the mean time,
we are determined not to consent to any compromise with 111r.Ure;
and as the return of either of us as your Representative in ParlM.
ment in conjunction with him might have that appearance, we beg
leave releettully to decline any further attempt to obtain your suf-
frages on the present occasion. Our proceedings were not resolved
ir,ion without the greatest deliSera:ion, or without having the opi.
f.tons of eminent Counsel; we therefore feel it due, both to ourselves
and you, u candour to state, that no earthly consideration shall in.
Luce us to relax in the legal steps already taken for the protection
of the Johnstone family ; and we rest confident that in the judicial
result of those proceedings, whatever your present impression may
be, we shall not only be justified, but applauded, by you for their
institution, and that the real friends of the family will then be dis.
til,gui.hed from those who have assumed that character for objects
:t personal benefit and political cravings.
We bays the honour to be. Gentlemen,

Your most obedient servants.
