TO THE ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of
CAMBRINIE.
GENTLXIIEN, —ln the event of a writ issuing for the Election of
Zfembers to serve in Parliantent fur your norough, it might he ex-
pected that I, as one of yolr former Representatives, should take
Occasion to address you. And I should willingly have deferred such
communication until that time had arrived, irom consi tenni= :or
that tranquility which a political contest always disturbs, but tnat I
isa-n that a longer silence may mislead you, and place me in a false
Pesiticn.
Also, in addressing you. I might have limited my selt; after so many
Mars of political connection, to a simple declaration of my readiness
appear as a Candidate, should th, Liber it Electors unmistakeably-
-01111,13' their dealre'to honour me with a continuation of thiir confl •
deuce.
But it is due to yon to state plainly the course which I shall feel it
Meumbent on= no ailopt.
In the first place,-1 must decline to connect myself poltically with
*by Candidate.
Secondly,—As it appears that a personal canvass Is neither the
Most eligible nor dignified mode of communicating with the Consti-
tuency, I would reuue-t th A that custom be dispensed with.
Thirdly,-,--It is not my inteut:on to pay any other than statuta,le
and professional expenses.
And, finally,—lnasmuch as the choice.rif a Candidate, as well as
his election, should, in my ju, gment, result from a general act of
those who share his po itical opinions, I do not think it won id be re-
BrPectfut in me to present myself to you as a Candidate, until re-
quested to come forwari by a requii-ition from Electors assembled in
Public meeting. And thus I feel that lam showing the irghe t re-
spect and deference for the individual intelligence and independence
Of the Electi.ral body.
I cannot permit myself to conclude without expressing the satis•
(action with which I havetor so many yearn been connect- d with the
Liberal Electors in Cambridge, Nall() have so nobly supported their
Principles under unparalleled discouragement ; nor without ffert g
3, thanks to the Constituency at large, far the friendly consideration
I have always received.
I am, G. ntleman, •
Your faithful Servant,
