TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—Will you allow me a small space in your paper
for a few remarks relative to the above, especially as I
find in your paper of last evening you have found a
scrutator of your principles in the person of a Mr. A.
Innes, with whose remarks on the principles which are
generally advocated by you I certainly coincide ; but
further, we are as distant as the antipodes in our views.
Now, Sir, I thank you, in the name of the tens of thou-
sands of 1501. a-year, plodding, struggling men, for
your constant, unwearied, independent, and consistent
advocacy of a principle of common justice, which, in
despite of all the twaddle and sophistry of rll the Chan-
cellors of the Exchequer that ever existed, must ever
distinguish right from wrong—whether in the shape of
laying the same amount of tax upon precarious and per-
manent income or any other way. Now, Sir, lam one
of those fortunate or unfortunate 1501. men, and shall
be very happy to exchange witi that gentleman my
1501. precarious income for one of 751. - that is, perma-
nent. As to the circumstance of there being some rich
rascal, with an income of 40,0001. per annum out of a
profession, getting off for 9,000/., if such a case ever
occurred, is that a valid reason why thousands of honest
struggling men should be unjustly taxed, because one
out of ten thousand evades a legal demand ? It is not
the 40,0001. per annum men that demand sympathy,
2tlsleoilr.
if they ought to have justice, it is the men of 1001. to
name,thtd demand both

TO MY WORTHY BRETHREN OF THE LIVERY OF THE

CITY OF LONDON.

GESTLEMEN,
THE lamented death of my friend, Mr. Cham
berlain Brown, places in your hands the appointment of his
successor, and I be 3 most respectfully to introduce myself as a Can-
d'date for the vacancy thus occasioned. In seeking your suffrages,
permit me to state that I have been a member of the Court of Alder-
men for more than twenty-five years, and have duly served the
hth'st offices in the gilts of my fellow-Cltizens, viz., those of Sheriff
and Chief Magistrate.
Having been most actively engaged in professional and mercantile
pursuits, I confidently hope that, if it should be y. ur pleasure to elect
me, I shall be enabled (following the excellent example of my late
friend) to perform the office of Chamberlain with energy and satis-
faction, and thus :realise your confidence, which it is my highest
ambition to merit.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
