1:4 LECTIONOF ALDERMAN WA ITH MAN.
The Committee for Condu-ting the Election of blr. Alder-
man WAITE MA N, at the emming contest, appeal with pleasure
and confidence to their Fellow-cltirens in hit behalf. and in support
of those liberal principles which have so long found in that Gentle-
man a most able and efficient advocate.
Inength or Perrier in the public cause—if the sacrifice of private
interest to public duty—if great talent, anti unimpeachable integrity
in the discharge of many high, itoportmit, and blinrious offices,
to which he has been called by the voice or O. reilbw-CitiZeTIS—
CIO give any claim to the ceintidenat of the Livery, where is the
man who stands more conspicunuely entitled to. their preference
than Mr Alderman Waithman . . . .

True it is, that no man can mote in public life without censure.
•' Envy will merit, like its shade, pursue,
But, like the shadow, proves the substance erne."
The meet candid. however, of the political adversaries of the
worthy .110...:man have never hesitated to admit that Iris conduct
in All public situations has been of the most impartial and ex-
emplary nature, whilst, by the consistent tenor of his public
life, he bus lived down" the enmity of personal opposition,
and convertid many of his most strenuous opponents into his
earnest friends. _

Rearing in----
mind, u the Committee have done, how great a
majority of the Livery are engsged in retail business, it may be
satisfactory to revert to the fact, that Mr. .‘lderman Waithman,
troll' his long and varied experience, is not less qualified to re-
present their peculiar interests, than he is competent toadvocate the
great commercial interests of the country, of which retail trade
twins so essential a part, and with the success of which it is so
insepashly. connected. flow sincerely devoted Mr. Alderman
Waitharsn is to these great and important interests may be evinced
by his recent exertions in protecting his fellow-cititens against
those delusive speculations. which could alone have been successful
by the ruin of the great body of Traders, but which, being incom-
patible with the first principles of trade, have dwindled into insig-
nitirance, or ended in ruin.

The Committee would be wanting In due regard to principle,
with respect to the purity of Reprcsontatiun, if it did not suggest
that Representatives should be elected without any expense to
themselves. A subscription has therefore been opened, to enable
the Citizens of London to testify their attachment to the principle
of purity of Election. But personal exertions are not less valuable,
ald, to a great degree, are even more indisnensable; and, upon the
dtspasition of the zealous among the Livery to exert themselves
ammg.t their neighbour., and to " rouse the slumbering spirit
that exists in every patriot bosom," the Committee trust that they
Mar most confidently rely.
As the principles of Mr. Alderman Waithman are so univer-
ally known, it may be sufficient to state, that he has ever been,
and still remains, the firm and consistent advocate of public liberty,
and the friend of knowledge and improvement; he has lived to
Irjrnral the calm triumph of these principles, even in the most im-
portant measures of his Majesty's present Ministers ; and to the last
he nil faithfully hold to these principles, from • conviction that
at the'r more perfect and compf.te adoption depend the freedom
ad prosperity, the happiness and lasting greatness, of the couutry.
Brother Liverymen—ln the support of these principle's,
• England expects every man to do his duty I !"
