To the WORTHY and INDEPENDENT FREEMEN
of the CITY of COVENTRY.

CENTLEMIOI,
T BEG of you to accept my most sincere expressions
ofgratitude, for, the Liberal, Voluntary, and Disinterested
assurances of support I have so generally received upon the
event of an EleCtion ; and to prevent any misrepresentation
of the Principles, on which I presume to offer myself as a
Candidate, I here (in duty to you, and in justice to myself)
State them.

When, by your kindness, I wa.slast returned to Parlia-
ment, I professed my intention to serve you with Diligence,
and Independence, and I hope a retroed of my Conduct
will be found to bear testimony tq my fidelity.

Considering the War to be the source of much evil,to the
Country, and particularly to the manufatiurin‘r Interests, I
uniformly opposed every measure brought Award in its
support • but upon all other questions I have occasionally
supported, or opposed, the measures of the Administration,
as an my conscience I believed them to be beneficial, or
otherwise; a similar line of conduEl' it is my intention to
purstie ; and from the convilion on my mind, of the inte-
grity of the present Minister, I have-no reason to apprehend
any measures will be proposed in his Administration, that an
Honest Man may not cheerfully join in the-support of.

In my attention to the local Interests of the City itif Coven-
try, I have been actuated by no other principle, than the
Welfare ofrny Constituents.

In a large and populous Manufacturing City, it it.impos-
sible, in the regulation of so important a concern, as the
Provision and Employment of the Poor, to give equal satis-
- fadion to every one, and I find the measure I proposed, and
accomplished, in the last Session of Parliament, fin- the Re
lief and better Employment of the Poor of the City of Co,
ventry, which afforded such general satisfaction to the Inha-
bitants at large, has (from being thisrepresented,) been mis-
conceived by some of you, to be an ad oppressive to the In-
terests and Happiness of the Poor; —could I have seen it in
that light, I am sure I should have been the last man in the
world to have supported it.' An experience of the.ellbit of
its operation, will,. I am confident, go. away such 'a calumny,
calculated for the worst of purposes, to make the Poor dis-
contented with their situation. • .

Having hid, for many years, a great connpaion in Trade,
with populous manufactories, I have no hesitation (from the
observations I have made,) to state it as thy decided opinion,
that, lie is the best Friend to the poor, who affords them
Relief through the medium of Employment. .

I have the honour to be;
GENTLEMEN,
Your obliged and faithful Servant,
NATHANIEL JEFFER\S
