LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S ADDRESS.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

GENTLIMEN,—Having contributed by my vote to
the overthrow of the Administration of Lord Derby, I
have considered it my duty to assist, when called
upon by my Sovereign in the formation of a new
Ministry. I have felt it incumbent upon me, in order
to give to the country the full advantages of a liberal
policy, to sink those personal pretensions which my po-
sition might have entitled me to form. I have conse-
quently accepted office under the Earl of Aberdeen, upon
whose upright character and enlightened views I place
the greatest reliance. My seat is therefore vacant.
I have little of novelty to add to the declarations I
addressed to you on the 22d of May, previously to
the late General Election. I then said that I could
have no hesitation in accepting the challenge—to decide
finally, completely, and conclusively, the contest be-
tween Protection and Free Trade. That contest has
been decided, finally and conclusively, in favour of
Free Trade. I then said, and I now repeat, that the
commercial policy of the last ten years was not an
evil to be mitigated, but a good to be extended—not
an unwise and disastrous policy, which ought to be
reversed, altered, or modified, but a just and benefi-
cial system, which should be supported, strengthened,
and upheld. I adverted at the same time to the lega
difficulties and expenses which clogged the transfer of
land, the complicated machinery of the Customs depart-
ment, and the remaining burdens and restrictions on the
shipping interest.

Now, as then, I am prepared to attempt the removal
of these impediments to the increase of our prosperity.
Now, as then, I am prepared to attempt the relief of
that portion of our fellow-subjects who are still excluded
by their religious belief from political privileges. I enter-
tain a sanguine hope of success in that endeavour.

I then stated that the progress of the working
classes in knowledge and intelligence ought to be
accompanied by an increased share of political power,
while I was aware how difficult a task it is to adjust, in
any plan of representation, the respect due to ancient
prescription with the claims of advancing trade, increased
population, and growing intelligence.
To this task the Ministry of the Earl of Aberdeen will
anxiously apply themselves. A matter of so much im-
portance requires from the Government the most delibe-
rate consideration before any measures are submitted to
Parliament.

Ey joining the Administration of Lord Aberdeen I
believe that I shall best promote the cause to which my
political life has been devoted—that of rational and en-
lightened progress. It is to progress that all our efforts
Will be directed.
I look to the extension of education, of civil and reli-
gious liberty, of commercial freedom, and of political
under, as the true means of preserving those institutions
which We have enjoyed so much happiness, r
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your grateful and obedient servant,
Chesharn-place, Dec, 27, 1852,

J. RUSSELL.
