ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER.
GENTLEMEN,
NITE congratulate not only you but the friends of
our time. honoured institutions throughout the empire, on
successful progress of the canvass in behalf of Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT, the champion of your rights sod liberties.
We regard with indifference the aspersions which party rancour
has so industriously thrown against him.• They are best confuted
by an appeal, first to your own recollection of his services and sa-
crifices in your cause, and next to the loyal, constitutional, and old
English sentiments which breathe in every line of his recent ad-
- dresses, and have been nobly responded to by so many loyal, de-
voted, and soundly British hearts.
The expression by which he designated the few busy and factious
intermeddlers, who, at public meetings and in virulent journals, have
-- for some time been assailing his character and misrepresenting his
motive-3, has been artfully perverted, as if levelled at the groat body
of a constituency, with whom he has beCn so long connected by every
tie of mutual confidence and respect—a constituency which he has
ever heldup to general admiration, as affording the most illustrious
example of disinterested and manly independence.
Electors, this device will neither exasperate nor mislead you.
We may safely leave the application of the phrase to your own
plain sense, to your own long experience, to your own discrimina-
tion. It is a phrase which, when so considered, affords no cause
for retractation or regret. You know that, besides the " pismires,"
unconnected with the Westminster electors, who have assailed Sir
Francis and every friend of the, Constitution, there are some Who
have long sought to exercise an usurped and degrading supremacy
over this great and enlightened community, disgusting by their
pretensions the sober-minded electors, and attempting at least to
assume an unauthorized control over the conduct of your Repre-
sentatives.

The day of decision .is at hand. We call upon ;nu, earnestly
and respectfully, to hasten to the poll at the earliest hour, and
again place in the situation, which he prizes as the highest to which he
can aspire, the man echo,-in times past, was the vigilant and intrepid
denouncer of all abuses, who, at this moment, stands forward (as
he alisays has done) to preserve the true balance of the Constitu••
ti m, from whatever quarter it may be enlangered, who is prepared
for the future, as long as his health permits, to fight the battles of
Our common country ; and If disabled by returning sickness, to re-
sign the trust into your bands. •

In the name of the Central Committee; •
• GEORGE SINCLAIR, Chairman.
Ship Hotel, May 7, 1837. •

w-ESTATINSTE It ELECTION —The f
lowing Correspondence between an Elector of Westmin•
ster and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT is submitted to the notice o:
the Electors:—

38, Broad-street, Golden-square, May 3, 1837.
Honoured Sir—l have taken the liberty, as an old elector of West-
minster and a most zealous supporter of you, on account of the prin-
ciples youhave always advocated, to request the favour of an answer
to the following—" That, if elected, will von attend to your duties in
Parliament, your health permitting ?" Knowing, as I do, that,
many electors of Westminster will not vote (myself, for instance, )
against you from a feeling of gratitude for past services, it would
dierefore.be most satisfactory to receive an answer to the above.
I am, honoured Sir, yours obediently,
Sir Francis Burdett, Bart. (Signed) PETER PAUL.
Answer.

Dear have great pleasure in receiving and answering
your most obliging letter. I hope you are aware that nothing but
necessity kept me from the House of Commons last session. The
physiciani were apprehensive of a concussion of the brain from a
fall, and would not hear of my attending the House of Commons
until all symptcms had disappeared ; and had it not been for the
influenza and suppres,ed gout, which reduced me to death's door, I
should have been in my place on the meeting of Parliament..
I am nosy recovered in health, but unable to move from a chalk
, stone in the heel--very painful. Thi4 will not list probably long,
and I shall be too happy, and indeed proud, of doing, as well as I
can, my duty, should I be on this great occasion returned.
Believe me, Sir, yours very sincerely,
(Signed) I'. BURDETT.
25, Park-place, May 4, 1837.
The Central Committee have much satisfaction in having permis-
sion to submit the above correspondence to the consideration of the
electors, feeling assured it will at once satisfy them that their late
representative, Sir F. Burdett, was prevented from attending his
Parliamentary duties solely by circumstances over which he had no
control, and that he will, if re-elected (unless prevented by the
same much-to-be-regretted causes) discharge h:s Parliamentary
duties with that zeal, energy, and fidelity which has distinguished
him throughout his public career, and that the best interests of his
constituency will continue to be watched over with undiminished
vigilance. JOSEPH CROUCHER, Sec.
Ship Tavern, May 5, 1837.
