TO rim EDITOR OF THE BRITISII PR,

Cheapaide. March 24.
Ste.,—ln your puper of this day you have made some renter*
upon the late election at the India House, and in some respect, i
do not mean to question the propriety of them.
With regard to the combination of the houses of agency, I will
allow, for argument sake, that they may be highly dangerous**,
interests and welfare of the Company; but, on the other hand,
think a counter-combination among the executive body, fo,
purpose of overturning the out-doer influence, equally prtjadiriak
In the present instance, the houses of agency acre exerting thetc,
selves to return a man of tried talent ;..-this is some palliation. The
Directors, in opposing this, have procured the return of a or,
whose pretensions or qualifications for the office no.one teems*
be acquainted with ; and I will venture to say that scarcely one ess
voted for him can put his hand upon his heart and amen that
he supported him in consequence of his Amos or his merits fo*
Direction.
You rejoice at the result; are you aware how it was &Markup
In many cases by improper influence. I am sure you cannot Si
ignorant of how much feedom of election is enjoyed by phi",
or dependents. When power exerts itself, any one so sitagal
must bend his neck to the yoke. I am persuaded, with the pew
ciples you advocate, you cannot rejoice at a victory obtained
sash means, however small may be the numbers thus *to
forward.

wives mere automatons, moving as the master.band directs. Tao
j they do not think and set tar themselves is evident, by supperna,
a man for little or no other reason than that, by so doing, ia4
may have the high g-atitication of destroying the growing idlvence
of a house of agency.
If such reasoning is satisfactory to the Proprietors, why dos
matters not who offers himself for the Lea t oa, so that h eael
obtain a coalition aufficiently strong to ensure his success,
If the Proprietors have any regard for their own character—if
they h desire to n-tain the good opinion of the public, thee
will throw off these trammels, and act as becomes thrm—arse snj
unbiassed. I would have them call upon every individual affair,'
himself as a candidate to state what are his pretensions, ind
show that he has mety qualification to render him worthy t thel,
suffrages then they will be doing their duty to themselves, find he
consulting the bast interests of the Company.
