TO THE ELECTORS OF THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH
OF LAMBETH.
GENTLEMtN,
ON a DISSOLUTION of PARLIAMENT it
is my intention to seek a renewal of the trust you have
leposed in me from the birth of your elective franchise.
I have constantly endeavoured to act upon the principles which,
fifteen years ago, recommended me to your adoption, and hope that
the fidelity with which I have served you, may be rewarded by your
prolonged confidence.
An impression prevails that at present there are no subjects of
prominent interest calculated to excite any anxious public feeling.
But, in my judgment, there are sonic to which your earnest
attention may be well directed, and you are entitled to know my
sentiments upon them, when I ask you to retain me in your
service.
I trust that th- enfranchisement of commerce is in rapid progress,
and that a reform to be effected by the next Parliament in the
financial arrangements of this country will administer relief to the
Industrious and trading classes.
My desire to extend the elective franchise to all householders—to
obtain means for its free exercise— and to quicken the sense of re-
sponsibility in the House of Commons, by shortening the duration
of Parliaments—is undiminished. If these matters have not lately
been pressed on the consideration of Parliament by those withi its
walls—the fault (if fault it be), allow me to say, re-ts with you and
the people at large, who, having ceased to urge, would seem to have
abandoned them; but matured experience has sanctioned my own
conviction, that our political liberty requires these further securities.
I earnestly hope that a thorough revisal of the Criminal Law, in-
cluding a substitution for the Punishment of Death, will be speedily
accomplished ; and that, with a view to prevent crime, to advance
true religion and virtue, and generally to ennoble the race to which
We belong, the benefits of education may be freely extended to all
glasses, with.mt reference to religious creeds.
It is, in my opinion, the duty of the State, by a general and corn-
' prehensive measure, to i rovide the means of useful instruction and
moral cultivation for the poor, independently of fortuitous and cha-
ritable aid ; but the State has no right, by an nndue and partial
distribution of funds to which all contribute, or by other arrange-
tnents, to render the inculcation of theological opinions a condition
.of the gift. This is to create a new and cruel civil disability. The
children of those who conscientiously refuse such terms are left in
darkness, while others, by compliance, obtain that intellectual su-
Perlority 'which is an unspeakable advantage fur the general purposes
of life.

The whole scheme lately proposed by the Government is, Jude el,
lamentably deficient for the great end of educating generally the
neglected children in our towns and rural districts. The grants
are destined only to parties capable of famishing the greater
Ilan cif the means, namely, to the wealthy sects and associatlins; but
nothing is provided for the destitute and friendless poor unconnected
with these favoured parties, or located in thinly populated regions
W,_here sPontaneous efforts can scarcely be expected or effectual. It
• o. Admitted that nine-tenths of such grants will fall to the share of
• the Church schools where the conditions of catechism and church
Attendance are imperative. The late measure is, therefore, open to
• the objections justly made to church-rates, and to endowments by
• Public money of religious communities, while it invests the Church
With an undue control over the temporal welfare of the people. and
the Government with a widely-diffused and influential patronage.
The amount at present destined for this perverse application is small.
T. be effective, it must be increased—and largely. It is the seed of
- • a. tree which may in time overshadow us These considerations, and
the eager support which the plan has received from some who
131n5i
lY discountenance the cause of religious liberty, have
awakened a jealousy in the public mind which cannot fail to
• weaken the moral authority of the Church of England. Sincerely
Attached to that Church, I see this consequence with deep concern.
iitt, Y eenvictfon is, that a measure which practically tends to invest
wildtb invidious advantages over other religious denominations
ager. rather than secure, her connexion with the State.
• ...ver, I consider it a' irregularity to be deprecated, that the
.Nxtentive Government should carry this project into effect, and
manage all subsequent details, without the legislative agency of
parliament; but I am less inclined to ascribe the errors of the
scheme itself to an Administration which I have every disposition to

lately been ads me to remark that the tendency of Parliament has
, to clothe the Executive Government with powers be-
Yond its constitutional attributions, and to entrust it with the ad-
ministration of local and subordinate details which the jealous wis-
dom of our ancestors retained in their own hands.
If this centralizing disposition be allowed to proceed, it will ren-
deri_ us sensible of the immediate arm of Government in our homes,
customs require,
and onc our hearths. Our common law and the genius of our na-
ugenealral
table ,be adjusted by municipal that matters of a local nature should, in

And liberal patronage freely impart.

And thus shall we lastingly interchange trade,
And show that we value the efforts you've made.

And there's not the least fear of your gaining the day.
All the world 's in your favour for what you have done,
And every one shouts—" Vote for MOSES and SON."
