TO THE BARONS AND FREEMEN OF THE TOWN
AND PORT OF RYE.
oiantstax,
SINCE I first had the honour of presenting
myself to your notice, events of vital consequence to
your interests have occurred, the most important of which
is, the recovery of your long lost political rights.
You are at length reinstated in the elective franchise—
that franchise, of all others, the most cherished by English-
Men, and without which there is no guarantee for life,
liberty, or property.
It is rumoured that two candidates are to try their for-
tune at the ensuing Election, on the old self-styled Cor-
poration interest, or on some other, of what description I
know not. But will any of the seven or eight individuals
Who of late years venally bought in succession the seats
for your town, now venture to come forward ? Trust me,
they know better. Not one of them will have anything to
do with so desperate, so discreditable a concern.
How then is the person who has hitherto lived upon the
sale of your privileges, to find a dupe at whose charge a
last attempt might be made to re-rivet your chains? A
few days will resolve this point.
For more than a hundred years your indUstry, enterprise,
and prosperity were paralysed by a grievous oppression.
Your cause was given up in despair, and deemed hopeless:
At length redress was sought from the proper Tribunal—
*, only one which can restore, confirm, or decide on the
right of electing MeMbers of its own Body. With its de-
cisions no other Court can or dare interfere.
Some of the most distinguished public men of the pre-.
sent day adjudged the matter, after a mature and laborious
investigation of twenty.oae days. A complete triumph
was the consequence; and all honourable-minded men
throughout the kingdom rejoiced in your Emancipation.
We had three sources of evidence—your own Records,
such as they are--the Records and Muniments of the
Cinque Ports deposited at Romney--and the various Royal
Charters granted in different ages to the Ports.
The case was also divided into three parts—that which
concerned the period anterior 1702—the subsequent period
rand the branch relating to the manifold corruptions of
modern date. The first portion, namely, that previous to
1702, was all that was requisite.
The two latter divisions, which were by far the most
striking, are yet unatiduced in evidence. As, also, the
burning of a vast quantity of public documents under the
direction of one whom I need not designate to you.
There was, and is, likewise, an original instrument, with
annexed signatures, available, providing is the most minute
manner for the price of the Seats in Parliament, and for
the apportioning of the various lesser products of corruption.
Should the occasion arise for bringing this paper to light
before a Committee, it will, no doubt, have a powerful
effect. on the public mind. For never before was there
exhibited such a flagitious or comprehensive epitome of the
whole scandalous system of Borough-mongering.
But it is not to be credited fur a moment that eleven
Gentlemen of any Parliament or any party could, in these
times, be found to re-enact or to give effect and perma-
nency to so nefarious a compact.
Gentlemen, the urgency of your local business has
hitherto so absorbed my attention that I have been as yet
incapable almost of taking any part in general politics.
It is through the zeal, therefore, which, in your estima-
tion, I may have shown in the former branch of my duty,
and towards effecting the present signally improved condi-
tion of your affairs, that I now, not without some reliance
on your favour, advance my respectful claim to the high
honour of your suffrages at the ensuing election.
The enthusiastic reception and kindness I lately received
amongst you assures me of your countenance, and of the
most favourable issue to my hopes.
I shall now be speedily with you ; and shall have a heart-
felt pleasure in personally waiting on you, and in tendering
to you individually my best anti snout sincere respects.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and devoted servant,
D. L. EVANS.

THE YORKSHIRE ELECTION.
AT a. MEETING of the Special Com-
ittee, to forward the Election of MARTIN
SIAPYITON, Esq. to be one of the Representatives of
York,
It was Resolved unanimously,
That this Committee convey to the Political Men of all
Parties the generally expressed Approbation of the Prin-
ciple of Mr. Stapylton's Address to the County ; and this
Committee feel that the Gentlemen of Yorkshire would be
insulted if it could be supposed that they would take any
unfair Means against an Individual to induce the largest
County of England to act in direct contradiction to the
Principle it professes.
I The Committee announces the Accession to it of Thomas
Stapleton, Esq., of Richmond, one of the
Magistrates of
the North. Riding of Yorkshire, a Gentleman descended
from the same Illustrious Ancestor as the Candidate,
though their Names are spelled differently—thus adding
to the private Friendship which has for Years existed be-
I tween them, this public demonstration of their harmony
in public opinion. But, far more important than their
consanguinity or political harmony, is the high approval
of Mr. Stapylton's Address to the County by a letter to
the Cendidate from Sir Francis Burdett, Bart.
THE CANVASS
From the Northallerton Sessions proceeded with expedi.
tion to several Places. In every Private House into which
he entered, except one near Northallerton, Mr. Stapylton
received the decided Encouragement of a promise
for him, to vote
and in every instance he disdained to ask for
More than one out tithe Four votes which every Freeholder
Fcseessts.
The system of requiring Plumper, deprives the Voter of
hi,
Elective Franchise, and is an offence and injury to the
three persona excluded ; and the audacity of dictating to
4 voter the four individuals for whom he should vote,
Would adorn the discretion of a shameless coalition, but is
in direct contradistinction to the principle of Purity of
Election,
If Mr. Stapylton's strength could permit him to canvass
the county from house to house, he would most undoubt-
elliy heplaced at the head of the Poll ; but the Committee
fear that he scarcely will find time to do anything more
than persOnally to visit all the principal towns in Yorkshire.

With ease and self-possession the insulated murmurs of a
few individuals. Such a reception produced the next
nlorningt and not till then, at Leeds, a proposal for Mr.
Brougham to be one of the Competitors for the Represen-
tation of the county of York, an announcement at which
this Committee expresses its most unbounded satisfaction.
