TO .O HE ELECTORS OF THE EASTERN
DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY.
Gentlemen,
The time has now arrived when it is necessary forme again to seek
wrenewal of your confidence.
When, in 1847; you did me the honour to elect me as one of your
Zepreseuiatives, yon were then anxious to-confirm and strengthen
the Free Trade policy of Sir It. Peel.
The cause you had then at heart is in the greatest danger now
Iler Majesty' s Ministers are bound and pledged (if honour exists any
longer in
public men) to do all in their power to restore Protection.
and thus once more revert to dear prices and short supplies.
Lord Derby has told you that the policy of Protection is.right, and
that he is ready at once to propose it, if the Electors of'Xireat tuna
tats will only declare themselves in favour of such a course.
If the supporters of Lord Derby are prepared to break their pledges
..8:n
id desert their principles, it is for yon to say whether you will trust
tars nureing of Free Trade to men who, without disguise) are hostile
let,
' It is for you to dechire whether /on are in' favour of progress, and
the Poltcity of Free Trade, or whether you are in favour .of a retro-
'grade Moveilaent, and of supporting a party who seem at best to
have
no Principles to guide them.
•"1, own political opinion; are' well known to you ; I have never
flinched from expresking them, I have made no comprises, for in
dtruth I know not how to make them. In my political life I have
to recall
one nothfug I aepent of, I have not even given a vote I • wish
Let me now 'remind that portion of the Agricultural party, who
at times have been a little disposed to be dissatisfied, that I have
~,In'aYs urged upon them to seek redress. not by any attempt to re-
-.taro e,lbe Corn-laws ; I have alwa) s frankly. told them that by so
'doing they would- be losing much time in a fruitless attempt—that
'the wise course would be to adapt themselves to their altered cir-
tumstaimes, by seeking. such changes in certain laws and customs
as are consonant with the present times, above all a revision of
the opgrossive bnrthen of local and general taxation. That is my
opinion! and asmany of the agricultural party Lave come round
to it, I look forward to their support. and
I have warmly advocated the' exteneion of the franchise, not only
because in a free Country is absolutely necessary it should keep
Vice With the increased intelligence and prosperity of the people ;
Mot only Lennie great anomalies ought to be abolished, and great
And acknowledged principles carried opt, but because I am confident
from what has.taken place on the Continent, that these changes
ought to be made during a period of perfect calm ; I am persuaded
it is wrong to wait till reform is violently extorted as a right, and no.
longer aecepted with gratitude as a boon.
It has been my endeavour to simplify and assimilate the franchise,
by making it the same in the counties that it now is in the boroughs,
ao that every occupier everywhere to the amount of 101_ per annum
might have a vote. This is a right now pesses.ied by. certain
favoured towns and villages, without the least regard to either size
or importance. In East Surrey, for instance, this right is possessed
by the inhabitant of Reigate, and refused to the inhabitants of
Croydon.
I have been defeated in that endeavour; but you must allow me
to say that I consider my defeat was caused by prejudice and not by
argument.
I have opposed the Militia Bill in every stage, because I consider
that a force raised by conscription is by no means suited to the age
*e live" in, and also because it will be found to act as the severest
Possible tax and a most cruel hardship on the working classes. I feel
confident Viet oar present forces and warlike expenditure would, if
troPerly distributed, be found amply sufficient for the defences of
the country.
_ There is but one other point I need advert to—the endowment of
Coll believeynh On principle I have been al waya oppeacd
,Tat it to have been a fatal error. It may justly be said
t if the principle were a sound one, the British empire, embracing
abroad,
a' it nonas.se maps; religions, sesta- and- creeds, bothAntagamme-and
utight;in ciiler to be just, to endow all. This is a princllslF
I, for one, am not at all prepared to assent to. •
I have the honour to be,
Your faithful servant, '

TIIE ELECTORS OF THE ,EASTERN
• DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY. -
Gen, lernen,
A dissolution of Parliament imposes on you the duty of electing
4-,,t Persons as your representatives in the House of Commons. De-
ne
la vingThat I have not neglected your interests, nor swerved from
y political principles, but that I have ever endeavoured to act
honestly and independently, I, offer myself again as a candidate
for Your suffrages.
My political sentiments on all great national 'questions remain
"changed, and I am proud to say that I have nothing to retract or
to modify.
I remain a stanch supporter of Free Trade, which I have always
Sincerely and heartily advocated, and I am prepared to contend
for the fullest accomplishment of a perfect system of "unfettered
coMmerce:"
rirmiy convinced that a large measure of Parliamentary Re-
im, and a broad extension of the Franchise, are essential to the
Well-being of the country, I have uniformly supported all the
tnotion's which haVe been made in • Parliament for that purpose.
IlThe , general agitation wh;ch prevails ,on the subject of May-
ooth leads tine to observe that I voted last year against
*rat, liamentary grant 'of money for 'that establishment, and that'
it my intention to support the motion for a Committee of-inquiry
to the course of education there pursued.
"Ictisiderable alteratiohs being required in our system of taxation,
ladesire a total revision of the Income-tax, a large reduction
the • duties on the comforts and necessaries of life, such as'
Ter,
4tiontea, soap, and tobacco, and all sttch- curtailment :of the
al expenditure as the national requirements • render impera-
Ilv_el3' necessary.
h4sctwithstanding the disiimulation practised as to the real prin-
Eles of Lie Derby's Administration, the'approeed deffnition of
vro
tectionift is " a supporter of the present Government." I
!lust at once therefore, say that I am not of that party, but a
usoro
ugh Reformer, the 'friend'of civil dnd religious liberty,. and
-00sed to the further endownient from the public purse of any
he
~..tch•or sect. hatever.
-070
amconfident that it is not inconsistent with these opinions to;
w myself a true and zealous member of the Established Church.
conchtsion, I refer you to lay past conduct with reference to
4stir eneral and local inte, and eress an earnest he that,
704 g consider that I haverests been faithful to my stewardshiopp daring
last five years, you will again entrust me with your confidence
and continue to me that freedom of action with which I have ever
—Jught to the utmost of my to
abilit to uphold the nation's honour and
e
rnote the nation's advancemy ent.
I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
s Your obedient and faithfhl servant,

110 TtiE IND.r.PENDENT ELECTORS OF
THE BOROUGH OF ~eOUTHWARK.
Gentlemen,
. Since the retirement of Mr. Alderman Humphery from the con-
test for his re-election as our Representative in Parliament,
upon
" dissolution about to take place, I have received a Requilition, so
Iliirnierously and influentially signed in all the Parishes of the
'''°l c,gh, that I feel it to be my duty to accept the Invitation. ,e ani perfectly well aware that the large share I inherit in the
ellunercial Ente: prize uf the Borough, and the great identity of my
'-'7linan d‘ my
family's Prosperity with that of the Port of London,
upon the
ensuring some degree ofzealancLibiormatiatt_on-my—part-
theca:Pie varloi,s questions constantly attendant thereon, are not of
____
~. re sufficient grounds for my pretensions to so great a re-
Upon itn ity ; indeed, I know from experience that the claim based
!!'!_e
..
_vecahat is termed " Residence" is ss nothing compared with the
flulaitti tens that so enlightened a Constituency, so impor, ant, too,
,aits varioas Commercial, Manufacturing, and shipping interests as
!pet of Southwark ought to find in the Services of men who have
113 leisure, and the influence in the House of Commons, to make
kbown and to enforce, upon all requisite occasions, the views and
requirements of such a Constituency. I therefore feet that my own
IniPretensions cannot be too modestly put Lrward, and that I have
to do before I prove how far I am worthy of the trust to which
aellspire.
I profess the utmost liberality of Political Principles that is eon -
sistent with the progress of thepeople in Education and Intelligence;
and my conviction has long been, that the basis upon which all Re-
form, all Retrenchment, all adjustment of the fair relative position
of every class can be attained, is, first and foremost, an Extension
of the present far too limited Suffrage.
With an Extension of the Suffrage, more simply and less vexa-
tiously secured, protected by the Ballot and shorter duration of
Parliaments, the judgment of the Electors, guided and tempered by
Education, must, speedily ensure thoroughly good Governmente-
ferM all abuses of what nature soever existing, confirm an adher, rence
tr) the great principles of Civil and Religious Liberty, make Freedom
.of Trade the right instead of the precarious teLure of the People,
Simplify the intricacies of oar Laws, and bring home Justice with
dispatch and economy to the Poor as well as to the Rich ; reduce the
necessity for the invention of onerous Taxes, and while widening
the base, In no wise endanger, but rather add to the Stability of our
Constitution.
I abject to, and whenever I can raise my voice or give my vote
against all future Endowments for religious purposes, I shall, I trust,
never be found wanting ; but firmly attached to my own Church, I
feel strongly that her interests are based, not more upon her own
interpretation of the Sacred Truths of Christianity, than in that
benign Liberality which, while she enjoys an Endowment unprece-
dented in the History of the World, should prevent her endeavours
to deprive our Fellow-Countrymen of the Roman Catholic Persua-
sion, of that provision for the National Education of their Clergy,
which for more than half a century has received the recognition of
nearly every living
Statesman, and for which the good ,faith of the
Country stands pledged.
I thus lay before you the Political Principles that I most sincerely
profess, and it is my intention to take every possible opportunity'
freely and candidly to explain my opinions-npen the particniar quea-
tions of the day, befbre I can expect you to record at the hustings
tour suffrages in my favour.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most humble and obedient servant,
