To THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF

ESSEX.

GENTLEMEN,
THE Dissolution of the present Parliament
will be immedilte ; I offer you again my most
zealous services, and I cannot help entertaining a sanguine
hope that you will, at this important crisis, honour me
again with your full confidence. I will not dwell upon
the circumstanc s which have led to this Appeal of our
Patriot Monarch to his loyal and faithful People ; but I
cannot help expressing my deep regret that his Majesty
should have been driven to such a necessity by the oppo-
sition to a measure calculated in so eminent a degree to
perpetuate the stability of the Crown and the liberties of
the People.

It is with astonishment I have heard it nightly argued
for the last fortnight, that the safety of the Crown was
incompatible with a fair and free Representation of the
People. Such doctrine never was before promulgated ;
it is opposed to every principle of the Constitution, and at
variance with every just British feeling. With as little
reason it is said that the House of Peers would sink under
the superior power of tke House of Commons ; but the
fact is, that that which is so falsely supposed to be the
strength of the Crown and the House of Peers is in reality
weakness, the return of Members by means that outrage
all decency, violate the laws, the common law, the statute
law, Parliamentary law, and, I may add, moral law,
for bribery, and consequent perjury, are frequently neces-
sary to the operation—cannot, I say, give strength, but
weakness ; and to attempt to uphold such a system, now
that it is exposed and all its vicious parts laid bare to the
public eye, is little short of madness. The Crown is based
upon the affection of the people ; the Peers, by giving up
their nomination boroughs, as many of them have nobly
done, would acquire a fresh title to the respect of the
people, and thus gain a just and legitimate influence far
above any thing they now possess by corruption, and
which would rest upon a firm and durable foundation. I
do most earnestly hope you will return me again to Parlia-
ment, that I may assist this great work of Reform, which
our patriot King has, in fact, by the Dissolution, referred
to his people to accomplish.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
CHAS. C. WESTERN.
South-street, April 23, 1831.

AT a General Meeting of the Friends of
the BLUE INTEREST, held at the White Lion,
Broad-street, Bristol, en Saturday the 23d April, 1831,
convened for the purpose of considering the Measures
which it may be expedient to adopt, in the present mo-
mentous and perilous crisis, for the preservation of the
Constitution,
THOMAS DANIEL, Esq. in the Chair,
It was unanimously resolved,

That the watchful regard which RICHARD HART
DAVIS, Esq. has uniformly paid to the Local Interests
of the City, during the long period lie has held the situa-
tion of its Representative in Parliament; the zealous,
able, and tuaretnitted attention which he has devoted to
the individual interests of his Constituents, of all classes,
without any distinction from party or political motives ;
and, above all, the firm, manly, and consistent line of
conduct which he bas maintained, in all questions of great
national consideration, affecting the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Constitution, as established in Church and
State, fully entitle him to a continuance of the approba-
tion and confidence of his fellow-citizens.

2. That it is therefore the opinien of this Meeting that
Mr. DAVIS should be again invited to become a Candi-
date for the Representation of this City in Parliament, and
should be assured of the zealous and stedfast support of
this Meeting, and of all who desire to preserve inviolate
that balance of power established in our mixed form of
Government, upon which depends the stability of the
Throne and the Peerage, and which is the only security
for the maintenance of the true and rational liberties of
the subject,
S. That the Chairman be requested to communicate the
foregoing Resolutions to Mr. DAVIS, and to express the
hope of this Meeting that he will accede to its wishes, by
allowing his name to be brought forward as a Candidate
for the Representation of this City in Parliament, at the
ensuing General Election.

4. That the Chairman, with the following Gentlemen,
viz

John Haythorne D. Wade Acraman Daniel Day Orlidge
John S. Harford Peter Maze Robert Lax
William Fripp Richard Lowe James N. Franklyn
Gabriel Goldncy Charles L. Walker Wm. E. Acraman
A. Hillhouse George Gibbs Richard Nott
John Barrow William L. Clarke Henry Roch
George Daubeny John Vaughan Daniel Stanton
Henry Bush Charles Morgan Robert Phippen
c harles Payne Edward Daniel William Bushell
.Joseph Cookson William Purnell Lionel Bigg
Nicholas loch Samuel C. Edwards Cam Gyde Heaven
John Hurle Henry Daniel Isaac Allan Cooke
William Watson Arthur Paliner,jun. Charles W. Bowden
Edward Sampson James Ford R. B. Ward.

be appointed a Committee for conducting the Election ;
that they have power to add to their numbers ; and that
they be requested to take immediate measures for a general
canvass.

5. That this Meeting has heard with regret, that mea-
sures have been recently agitated for effecting a coalition,
with a view of bringing forward two Candidates in oppo-
sition to Mr. Davis. That it cannot believe that such
proceedings have received the sanction of any numerous or
influential body of citizens. Until, however, all doubt on
that head be removed, it is obviously necessary that mea-
sures should be taken for guarding against the consequences.
It is, therefore, as a matter of precaution only, earnestly
recommended, that the friends of the Blue interest will,
for the present, abstain from committing themselves as to
their second vote.

THOMAS DANIEL, Chairman.
The Chairman having left the Chair, and the same
having been taken by JOHN HATTIIORNE, Esq.,
Resolved unanimously,

6. That the thanks of this Meeting he given to the
Chairman, for the promptitude with which he has called
this Meeting ; for his able conduct in the Chair ; and for
the zeal he has always manifested for the interests of the
City, and in support of the Constitution.
JOHN HAY rHORNE, Chairman.
