TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY

OF LONDON.

GENTLVMEN,
INEED slot stele, as an incitement to your
exertions, that the issue of the Election fur the City of
London is not a subject of local, but of uisi I national
interest ; and that it decides points nut merely of a personal
uature between Candidates, but itifluences the feelings of
Ministers iu the administratiou of the Government of the
Kingdom.
If therefore you ere the Friends of Reform and Civil Li-
berty, which I have always considered you, and are Out dis-
posed to comptotnise a cause to which I have dedicated my
life, and in the promotion of which I have hitherto met with
your eaergetie and generous support, you will forthwith
COMIC to the pull, and not be deterred by any cunsideratiosi
or calculation from immediately giving your votes in my
favour: presuming that my lung-tried devotion to public
liberty, and my known attachment to your rights and pri-
vileges, have confirmed your confideuce in nay exertions and
c►aracter,
1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and devoted Servant,
ROBERT WAITHMAN.
Guildhall, March 9, MO.

TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON.
GENTLEMEN.
YU U are respectfully, but earnestly, called upon
by the Committee of Mr. Alderman iVaiihnian to
support, with your dm istic energy, that great cause
of Reform and Constitutional Freedom in which this
patriotic Candidate has passed his active and useful life;
and to maintain your own Consistency of principles, and
your civic and elective rights, by an immediate vote.

The Committee hope, as this cause is that of all well-in.
formed and free-born Englishmen. that every independent
Liveryman will voluntarily do his duty, and come at once
to the poll, without waiting for personal solicitations, or
expecting those exertions of undue influence which belong
only to a corrupt cause. the advocates of which look fur
future indemnity from the public money.

The state of the pull at the end of the third day proves
merely the well.kuown fact, that dependant votes can be
brought up at command, while independent Voters, wbo are
solicited on public principle, in favovr of Alderman Waith-
matt, will come oily at their own convenience: but when it
may be feared that tardiness gives encouragement to the
hopes of an adverse party, the Committee trust that Livery-
men who propose to support Alderman Wathisaa will on no
account withhold their votes.

lu the glorious nomlier of 4,603 free votes, given at the
le►t election fur Al.lermnu ‘Vaithrnan, the Committee have
a rock of support un which they coofidenily rely for ulti-
mate success; and as no man ever did more to justify the
preference of his friends than has been done by Alderman
Waillomeo, un every great public question agitated in Par-
liament, the Committee consider him as entitled nut poly to
the support of all his former constituents, but to the vote of
every oilier Liveryman who respects the honour of the City
of London, consistency of character in itv Kcpresentallves,
the rights of the Livery, and the constitutional freedom of
the Peopte of England.
