London, June 28, 1837.
TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
BOROUGH OF KINSALE.
GENTLEMEN,
,-, AS an early
. Dissolution may now be regarded as
certain, I may venture, without incurring the charge of
-' presumption, or indelicacy towards ycur present Member, to solicit
your suffrages for the high honour of representing you in the Im-
perial Parliament.
The Address of 11Ir. Pierce Mahone has been for some time be-
ore you. It speaks for itself at great length; but I trust you will
not deem me the less sincere, or the less anxious to serve your Bo-
rough, and to advance every measure calculated to benefit the
People, if I refrain from trespassing upon you to the same extent,
• nd reserve a detailed expression of opinion for the hustings in the
presence of my opponents.
".. I shall not seek your favour by aspersing the Duke cf Welling-
ton, because, as a Roman Catholic, I feel that to him I am in-
debted for the removal of Civil Disabilities in 1829, and that too
!., ill a full and generous manner, far surpassing any measure of relief
: Propounded by the Parliamentary advocates of emancipation. It
is true the illustrious Duke was urged on by public opinion and the
F-, Pressing representations of the Most Noble the Marquis of An-
,.!, glesea ; but with his characteristic decision he seized the happy
moment, and placed us on an equality with our Protestant fellow-
,E* objects.
a', I would deem it inconsistent, even for election purposes, to seek
and tarnish the fame of Wellington, recollecting that Mr. Mahony,
though a Protestant, was so penetrated with th healing effects of
2 the measure of 1829, that he published a Subscription List to raise a
statue, or testimonial, which might bear to the remotest posterity
the greatness of that Statesman, who accomplished a task which
4' the most enlightened had attempted in vain—which enfranchised a
People, and saved the empire from a convulsion.
i. At the time Mr. Mahony placed my humble name upon his
. duster Roll for ten guineas—others of his acquaintance were used
.., by him with a like distinction—and had he followed up the patriotic
undertaking with a pertinacity equal to that with which he pursues
a Bill in Parliament, I have no doubt the statue would have been
raised, and Mr. Mahony's name might now be found in brass upon
the pedestal.
I shall not seek your suffrages by pledging myself against any me-
• ditieation of the legislative union, because I regard that as a qucs-
tion of good government, and if necessary for the welfare of Ireland
11l disinterested representatives should vote even for its repeal.
11r. Mahony, sbove all others, should in the year 1837 go this
, length, recollecting that in the year 1832 (only five years ago) he
thus addressed the electors of Limerick :—" If the promised ad-
vantages from the Legislative Union be not now realized, I shall
-.ot hesitate as an Irishman to advocate as the only alternative
Imother measure—its repeal."
Fellow-countrymen, even to obtain the proud distinction of re-
presenting you in Parliament, I will not tell you " that if all we
require be not non, realized I shall become a Repealer ;" because it
would loOk like clap-trap and artifice in one who ought to know the
slow progress of legislation, and that reforms, however useful and
necessary, are to be carried by reason and deliberation, and not by
apouring or delusion.
If honoured by your choice, I shall vote for Municipal Reform.
I shall advocate Church Reform, in which I expect every sincere
Protestant will join me, as a more equal distribution of the tempo-
ralities of the Church amongst the ministers of religion must tend
to the advancement of Christianity, by preventing inordinate wealth
in the one or abject poverty in the other. It is quite evi-
dent that isithout a satisfactory adjustment of the Tithe question
there can be no peace in Ireland ; therefore it must be settled, and
that too with all practicable expedition.
To conclude, Gentlemen, I shall vote for a comprehensive sys-
tem of Poor Laws and Emigration, and for every measure tending
to benefit your town and community, or to advance the interests of
the empire.
17
I am precluded from remarking particularly upon the exact pre-
tensions of your present Representative, not having seen any address
from him; but taking it for granted that he adheres to his princi-
ples, I may venture to rest my pretensions upon the fact that at the
present day the benefit of the People is to be found between the two
extremes.
Gentlemen, the great duty of a Representative is to advocate
'every Measure for the Welfare of the Majority of the People
Such are my principles—and
I have the honor to be,
Your most obedient Servant,
JAMES DWYER,
Barrister-at-Law.
