STAMPED ....sd.

TO THE LIBERAL AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS

former is one of decision and hopeful activity ; the
latter can only have been improved by the unity and
energy displayed in this last Parliamentary conflict.
That party has no occasion to regard the clamours
of the Kreuzzeitung clique, which rejoices over the
confusion it witnesses, and over the apparent check
received by the Liberals, and which declares that
the Chamber has no right to make the Budget a pre-
text for interference in purely military questions ;
by which can only be meant that if the Government
chooses to bring in a lump estimate of any amount
for the maintenance of the army, the Chamber must
vote it without question or objection. It were idle
to combat such arguments. The party of progress
in Prussia is employing its time better. It has
already vigorously commenced its canvass for the
next elections, and it expects that, if it be allowed
fair play—that is to say, if the new Ministry, when-
ever it may be formed, resorts to no oppressive or
unconstitutional means of influencing those elections
—it will appear with strengthened ranks in the
next Parliament. As for the " old Liberals," as
they are called, the Constitutional•Ministerialist
fraction, they are in no good odour in the country;
the party of progress distinctly repudiates all con-
nexion with them, and their total defeat at the
elections is confidently predicted.

to power indicating that high-toned self-respect
which makes the gentleman, and is felt whether
he is with you or against y on. To the contrary,
no single letter could catalogue their offences
against good manners and breeding, and all the
canons of their conduct in foreign affairs and

GENTLEMEN,
IBEG to offer my sincere thanks to you, the 5,064
Independent Electors, who rallied round me in the late
severe contest.
Although
SUCCeSg, partly from my being late in the field from respect to
my efforts have not this day been crowned with
my lamented friend Mr. Cayley, yet I feel the certainty of
achieving a final triumph for our cause on a future oceasion.
I am encouraged in this belief from the fact of having polled
more votes than were ever tendered to a Liberal candidate
before, and nearly 900 more than were given for the same
cause at the last contested election for the North Riding.
Within two years I shall be again among you soliciting your
votes. In the meanwhile, let me entreat you to use every
means to increase your strength—let no stone remain un-
turned for the assertion of your independence. It is mon-
strous that so influential a body of electors, nearly one-half of
the number polled, should remain unrepresented, and that so
small a majority as have at present defeated me should im-
pose on you two nominees of one great Tory family. It has
given me great pleasure to have become personally known to
you, and I beg to return my sincere thanks for the energy
and zeal exerted, and sympathy shown, by so many influen-
tial electors of all classes, whom I am proud to call my
friends.
As the champion of a noble cause, with the sacred words
of "Freedom, Liberty, and Independence," inscribed on my
banner, I pledge myself, on the hrst opportunity, to be again
at my post, and offer battle to our political opponents. Aided
by your strenuous and united support, I will promise not to
rest from my exertions till a final victory crowns our efforts
to overthrow that political monopoly which now enthrals us.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully and gratefully,
FREDERICK A. MILBANK,
Central Committee Room, York,
March 21, 1862.

tir)voto taken this day on the issue of /Waco or
war with the South would result in such a majority
for the former as would astonish men. But lam
sick with the thoughts of the strife among my
countrymen still going on.
"The last order of the new Secretary of War,
making all war news contraband, except what
he permits to transpire, is galling the curiosity
of people, especially the Yankees, -whose disposi-
tion to find out' is proverbial, and mystery an-
noys them,"
