TO THE CITIZENS OF GLASGOW.
Gentlemen,
Parliament has been disschved this day, and I am no longer your
rain esentative. I have now had the honour of being one of your
Members for about five years, and during the six Sessions which
have taken place in that period, I submit to your good sense, Impar-
tiality, and justice, how far I have supported those princiP'e, of re-
ligious
and political liberty, which, I declared publiely in Glasgow,
at the last election, to be those which I would advocate and vote
tor.

I hays endeavoured, by speakinz, writing, and v oting, to support
every motion in the House of Commons f:r the Extension of the Re-
presentation of the People in Parliament; I have always voted for
the Ballot.
L
Imy address to you ofdlthe Bth April last, I stated so far
yie f detail 'my opinions ore the questions of Parliamentary
___,orm,-on the more equitable distributon of the Taxation,
7:l9:airi mere economical economical expenditure of the Revenues,—on Civil
07 Religious Disabilities,—on Reforms in the Law,—and
for
rublic questions, that it might be deemed su-
to say ~now, to recapitulate those details farther
that, if you do me the honour again to elect me
. ZI°F. Representative, I will continue my humble, but te.".:
monnoonstant exertions for obtaining, at least, the same El xx
Parliamentary Reforms as I voted for, every session. i.no
the „?uulc, during the time I have been one or your Members
_ Qouse of Commons—but in all which we have been defeated,
°lt eVery di with the party
vision by the late Government coalescing
11°I7 in Power.
Will also continue my efforts to abolish the Excise on Paper, and
.1 other Taxes on linow ledge I voted against all those taxes, and
against the additional Grant a'ttempted, in 1848, to Mayno ,th, and
al the latter we defeated the Government. 'repeat that I will vote
fer a total Repeal of the whole of the Grants to that Seminary ; not
from any sentiment of intolerance, but on the ground that I consider
itt in the first place, as unchristian and unprincipled to
grant any part of the general revenue to pay for
the instruction of men who are afterwards to go f3rth
g thedoctrines,
people of which the great majority of the
United Kingdom believe to be those of an
Hierarchical Church, the spiritual policy and practice of which has
always been, and continues to be, incompatible with true
and independent civil and religious freedom. For the same rea-
sons I will resist and vote against every attempt that the
Ziahop of Rome has made, or will make, in order
to establish either Koiritual or Temporal Authority over
the Territories or Subjects of the Queen of the British Empire.
Igor must we overlcok the example afforded us by the fact, that
the re-establishment of Despotism in France was sanctified at
'tome by the Pope, and pompous'y consecrated by the Archbishop
Of Paris and the Ro:nish Priesthood in the Cathedral of Notre
Dante.

With respect to Ireland, notwithstanding the great ameliorations
anade in the administration of that country, I am of opinion that is
tranquillity will never be permanent until the most searching inquiry
be made into the Church of England Establishment In Ireland, and a
complete reform be effected as to the application of its Tithes and
Revenues. I also cons der that no Church Rates ought to be exacted
to the United Kingdom—at least, not from any but those who pay
them by voluntary parish assessments on themselves, as members
Of the Church of England
We have had a Militia Bill carried against us by the present Go-
. Yertiment. It will be an expensive experiment, that will tend to
matte bad soldiers and worse citizens. I spoke and, in every instance,
voted.. against it.
tZtioee_ Trade, which, since 1840, has had my constant at-
se „,",„ I consider perfectly safe; but we must carry it out
wharmU there shall be no dies timber, no rrictions
• shinplYer in manning, equutipping,on
or victuallingest British
Sta. -113, which should be relieved from the Light Dues,
Inon Marine Insurances, and all Shipping Stamps, as
the United States, where there are no Stain, s, and where the
United
are maintained out of the general revenue.
While Protective Duties can never be restored to our Sugar Co. tonlee, I consider it the mo• t gross injustice to prevent the Planters
Item procuring wherever they can the most abundant and unre-
stricted free labour.'
Of the articles now subjected Us Customs Duties, the first, on
Which, for commercial purposes a. well as for the benell of the eon-
' ( .`" ruotrees <Tea, the duty on which ought te.be• reduced-froth 23.-311:,
• so at most Is. ter lb. Any duty still remaining on any raw ma-
terial, as well es minor articles producing an iasigaificant revenue,
ought to be abolished.
A Select Committee on the Customs, for which I moved unsuc-
cessfully for three Sessions, and for which Mr. Mitchell and I
simultaneously moved last year, was a'• last granted. and
I have sat on it two days each week for a great part of
the last Session, and in each week of the whole Session now
about to expire. Its labours have been great—the Evidence and
Statistics will occupy several thick volumes. We have just com-
pletedl
our Report, which has now appeared in the Public Press, and
have every
veeevery reason to believe that the Reforms we have recom-
though not so extensive as I contended for, will be all car-
ried into effect.
The new Parliament will, at all events ought to, grapple with
Inewures for carrying into effect the foregoing reforms. It ought-
also to'effect a complete and economical revision of our taxation and
expenditure. The Taxes on Knowledge, the Excise on Paper and
,iebed the Stamps on Fire and Marine Assurances ought to be abd-
-1 ; and the Income-tax should be equitably adjusted. in order to
raake a fair di,tinction between uncertain and permanent incomes.
The Courts of Law stilt require reform, so as greatly to diminish
delay and the expense of justice. The Court of Chancery is especi-
ally oppressive. I believe it may be abolished with incalculable
—4vBlliage. There is no such court in any other country in the
World.
I contend that there should be a Secretary of State for Scotland as
Well as fur Ireland; for it is impossible that an advocate, however
lirdea.rintbluiirsgh. abilities, can ,ondu it Scottish affairs in the House of Corn-
u'lla when he is in attendance pleading in the Parliament House at
o,'",atu thoroughly opposed to entangling alliances and interference
-,til the internal affairs of Foreign States. Were it not for such in-
terference and all.ances, we should be free of a national debt, and of
28 missions, annually, of oppressive taxation. In revisinc the taxa-
tion, Ireland should not be exempted from either the income or any
tither tax levied in England and Scotland.
With respect to our Colonies, they should &I have self-responsible
Governments, and the sole management of their local affairs, and of
their own revenues. Any other que-tion, which I ha e not space
M an address to enter upon, I will be happy to enter upon explana-
tions publicly or individually.
When I was invited to CO9lO forward five years ago by
a numerous body of your most respectable and influential
citizens to have the honour of representing you I acted
under the principles of doing and acting faithfully by you.
I have never lost sight of working on the principle of doing
good, and bettering the condition of my feilow-men. I have never
shunned labour, nor repined under the fatigue, day and night, of the
Rouse of Commons. I need not say that I made great pecuniary sa-
eriticee in order to have the honour to represent you. My labours
and my pecuniary sacrifices I altogether waive. I submit to you my
public acts and duties ; and as to your electing me again, I throw
n 1
trustY3ei 3u will
f altogether.o agar,, upon your own good sense. If returned em,
send my late colleague back with tne. He has
faithfully done hih duty, and I believe that the great majority of the
community is anxious to avoid the turbulence of a contested elec-
tion. I am, Gentlemen, very faithfully,
Your humble Servant,
J. 111ACGREGOR.
