T° THE CITIZENS IOF GLASGOW.
Gentlemen,
Parliament has been disscaved this day, and I am no longer your
rem esentative. I have now had the honour of being one of your
hembers for about five years, and during the six Sessions which
hive
taken place in that period, I submit to your good sense, lamer-
ality, and justice, how far I have supported those princip'.es 01 re-
11111011s and political liberty, which, I declared publicly in Glasgow,
at 'he last election, to be those which I would advocate andsrte
tor. - - •,
I have endeavoured, by speaking, writing, and voting, to support
fiery motion in the House of Commons for the Extension of the Rb,
Presentation Of the People in Parliamen • I have always voted for
the Ballot.
La
dmy _ address to you of the Bth, Ap last, I stated, so far

my opinions on the questions ot Parliamentary.
and—"1/2—en the more equitable distribution of the • Taxation,
and Inue_,.ra economical expenditure of the Revenues,—on Civil
-.esigious Disabilities,—on Reforms in the Law,—and
various Public questions, that it might be deemed su-
Pthan eriluouos for me, now, to recapitulate those details further
nest3'oauntrd constant that,
if
you do me the honour again to elect me
Representative, I will continue my humble, but ear-
ateacat. „.,-ant exertions for obtaining, at least, the same Extea-
autallientary Reforms as I voted for, every session, wilt'

also continue my efforts to abolish the Excise on Paper, and taxes other Taxes on Knowledge. I voted against all those ; and
against the additional Grant attempted, in 1848, to Mayno WI, and
on the latter we defeated the Government. 1 repeat that I will vets
far total Repeal of the whole of the Grants to that Seminary ; not
from any sentiment of intolerance, but on the ground that I consider
it, in the first place, as unchristian and unprincipled to
great any part of the general revenue to pay for
the instruction of men who are afterwards to go forth
People 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-
tona I will resist and vote against every attempt that the
-Bishop of Rome has made, or will make, in order
to establish either Spiritual or Temporal Authority over
the Territories or Subjects of the Queen of the British Empire.
Ifor must we overlook the example afforded us by the fact, that
• the . re-establishment of Despotism in France was sanctified at
Rome by the Pepe, and pompously consecrated by the Archbishop
of Paris and the Ro:nish Priesthood in the Cathedral of Notre
With respect to Ireland, notwithstanding the great ameliorations
made in the administration of that country, I am of opinion that iis
tranquillity will never be permanent until the most searching inquiry
be made into the Church of England Establishment in Ireland, and a
~."inPlete reform be effected as to the application of its Tithes and
,•(_evenues. I also consider that no Church Rates ought to be exacted

_ \Valle Protective Duties can never be restored to our Sugar Co-
lonies, I consider it the most gross injustice to prevent the Planters
from procuring wherever they can the most abundant and unre-
stricted free labour.
Of the articles now subjected to Customs Duties, the first, on
Which, for commercial purposes as well as for the benefi c of the con-
%tinier, is Tea, the duty on which ought to be reduced from 2s. 3d.,
to at most is. rer lb. Any duty still remaining on any raw ma-
terial, as well as minor articles producing an insignificant revenue,
ought to be abolished.
A Select Committee on the Customs, for which I moved unsuc-
eessfully for three Sessions, and for which Mr. Mitchell and I
simultaneously moved last year, .was ft: 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 b'en great—the Evidence and
Statistics will occupy several thick volumes. We have just com-
pleted our Report, which has now appeared in the Public Press, and
I have every reason to believe that the Reforms we have recom-
uiended, 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
Mea•ures for carrying into effect the foregoing reforms. It ought-
-4380 to effect a complete and economical revision of our taxation and
ex„ Penditure. The Taxes on Knowledge, the Excise on Paper and
naP, the Stamps on Fire and Marine Assurances ought to be abo-
"aced ; and the income-tax should be equitably adjusted, in order to
make a fair distinction between uncertain and permanent incomes.
aThe Courts of Law still require reform, so as greatly to diminish
LL,TaY and the expense of justice. The Court of Chancery is especi-
au y yoppressive. I believe it may be abolished with incalculable
world

lerfereace and alliances, we should be free of a national debt, and of
2/4 millions, annually, of oppressive taxation. In review, the taxa-
tion. Ireland should not be exempted from either the income or any
ether tax levied in England and Scotland.
With respect to our Colonies, they should WI have self-responsible
Governments, and the sole management of their local affairs, and of
,_their own revenues. Any other question, which I ha e not space

Citizens to have the honour of representing you I acted

have never lost sight of working on the principle of doing
g°od; and bettering the condition of my fellow-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-
crificea 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
InYself altogetker upon your own good sense. If returned aga n,
trust you will send my late colleague back with me. He has
faithfully done his 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,
