" TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF LOUTH

" The assurance: wh,ch I have received of your suppor
induce me to off .r myself as a candidate for the honour o
representing you.
_ _

" It is my loftiest ambition to stand in the House of
Commons as the nominee of the people. Rescue me from
the imputation, and liberate me from the consciousness,
that in pleading the great cause upon which the nation's
heart is set, I am myself indebted to the very system which
I denounce for the power of denouncing it. If you think
me capable of rendering you a service, raise me to that
position in which I shall be best able to serve you.
" Circumstances, into the detail of which it is not ne
cessary for me to enter, have hitherto prevented me from
leaving London. I shall hasten to meet you, and to solicit,
in person, the distinction of becoming the trustee of your
intt rests and the representative of your sentiments in the
House of Commons.
" London, May 9. " RICHARD R. SHEIL."
