T° '.;,'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
a renewal of your confidence.
When, in 1847, you did me the honour to elect me as one of your
representatives, you were then anxious to confirm and strengthen
the Free Trade policy of Sir R. Peel.
The cause you had then at heart is in the greatest danger now.
Her Majesty ' sMinisters 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 ',Great bri-
'Lain will only declare themselves in favour of such a course.
If the supporters of Lord Derby are prepared to break their pledges
and desert their principles, it is for you to say whether you will trust
the nursing of Free Trade to men who, without disguise, are hostile
to it.
It is for you to declare whether you are in favour of progress, and
the policity of Free Trade, or whether you are in favour of a retro-
grade movement, and of supporting a party who seem at best to
have no principles to guide them.
My own political opinions are well known to you ; I have never
f
flinched from expressing them, I have made ne comprises,
truth I know not how to make them. In my political life lor In
"a:ve
done nothing I aspect of, I have not even given a vote wish
to recall.
thatarty, havewho Let me now remind that portion of the Agricultural
at times have been a little disposed to be dissatisfied,
always urged upon them to seek redress. not by any attempt t° re-
imp°. e the Corn-laws ; I have always 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-
cumstances, t.y seeking such changes in certain laws -and customs
as are consonant with the present times, and above all a revision of
the oppressive burthen of local and general taxation. That is my
opinion still. and as many of the agricultural party have come round
to it, I look forward to their support.
I hare warmly advocated the extension of the franchise, not only
because in a free country it is absolutely necessary it should keep
pace with the increased intelligence and prosperity of the people ;
not only because great anomalies ought to be abolished, and great
and acknowledged principles carried out, but because I am confident
frost what has taken place on the Continent, that these changes
ought to be made during a period of perfect calm ;.1 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,
So that every occupier everywhere to the amount of 101. per annum
might have tt vote. This is a right now possessed 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 or 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
We live in, and also because h will be found to set as the severest
possible tax and a most cruel hardship on the working classes. I feel
confident not our present forces and warlike expenditure would, if
properly distributed, be found amply sufficient for the defences of
the country.
There is but one other point I need advert tothe endowment of
the College of Maynoeth. On principle I have been always opposed.
to it ; I believe it to have been a fatal error. It may justly be /said
thatif the principle were a sound one, the. British empire, embracing
as it does so many religious sects and creeds, both at home and
abroad, ought, in order to be just, to endow all. This is a principle
I, for one, am not at all prepared to assent to.
Itrave the honour to be,
Your faithful servant,

rllO THE ELECTORS ,OF THE EASTERN
DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY.
Gentlemen,
A dissolution of-Parliament imposes on you the duty of electing
fit persons as your representatives in the House of Commons. Be-
lieving that I have not neglected your interests, nor swerved'froin
my political principles, bat 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
unchanged, 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."
Firmly convinced that a large measure of Parliamentary Re-
form, and a broad extension of the Franchise, are essential to the
well-being of the country, I have uniformly supported all the
motions which have been made in Parliament for that purpose.
The general agitation which prevails on the subject of May-
nooth
leads me to observe that I voted last year against the
Parliamentary grant of money ,for that establishment, and that
it is my intention to support the motion for a Committee of inquiry
into the course of education there pursued.
Considerable alterations being required in our system of taxation,
I desire a total revision of the Income-tax, a large reduction
in the duties on the comforts and necessa-ies of life, such as
beer, tea, soap, and tobacco, and all such curtailment of the
national expenditure as the national requirements render impera-
tively necessary.
Notwithstanding the dissimulation practised as to the real prin-
ciples of Ln*,l Derby's Administration, the approved definition of
a Protection:: t !s " a supporter of the present Government." I
must at once, therefore, say that I am not of that party, but a
thorough Reformer, the friend of civil and religious liberty, and
opposed to the further endowment from the public purse of any
Church or sect whatever.
I am confident that it is not inconsistent with these opinions to
avow myself-a true and zealous member of the Established Church.
In conclusion, I refer you to my past conduct with reference to
your general and local interests, and express an earnest hope that,
if you consider that I have been faithful to my stewardship during
the last five years, yon will again entrust me with your confidence
and continue to me that freedom of action with which I have ever
sought to the utmost of my ability to uphold the nation's honour and
to promote the nation's advancement.
I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithfhl servant,
THOMAS ALCOCK.

The Central Committee for securing the return of the

TO THE IND.PENDENT ELECTORS OF
THE BOROUGH OF EOUTHWARK.

Gentlemen,
Since the retirement of Mr. Alderman Hamphery from the con-
test for his re-election as our Representative in Parliament, upon
the dissolution about to take place, I have received a Requisition, CO
numerously and influentially signed in all the Parishes of the
Boro,gh, that I feel it to be my duty to accept the Invitation.
I am perfectly well aware that the large share I inherit in the
Commercial Enter raze of the Borough, and the great identity of my
ownand my family's Prosperity with that of the Port of London,
although ensuring some degree of zeal and information on my part
upon the various questions constantly attendant thereon, are not of
themselves sufficient grounds for my pretensions to so great a re-
sponsibility ; indeed, I know from experience that the claim based
upon what is termed " Residence" is as nothing compared with the
(MarfficavOns that so enlightened Constituency, so important, too,
in its various Commercial, Manufacturing, and f.,..filpping interests as
that of Southwark ought to find in the Services of men who have
the leisure, and the influence in the House of Commons, to make
known and to ernorce, upon all requisite occasions, the views and
requirements of such a Constituency. I therefore feel that my own
pretensions cannot be too modestly Put forward, and that I have
much to do before I prove how far I am worthy of the trust to which
I aspire.
I profess the utmost liberality of Political Principles that is con-
sistent with the progress of the:people in Education and Intelligence;
andany conviction lute long been, that the basis upon winch 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 Government,'re-
form all abuses of what nature soever existing, confirm an adherence
of tcs„th_e great principles of Civil and Religious Liberty, make Freedom
"-rade the right instead of the precarious tenure of the People,
simplify the intricacies of our 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 object 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 ter 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
atesnaan, 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 upon the particular ques-
tions of me day, before I can expect you to record at the hustings
your suffrages in my favour.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
