TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
thirrnisioar,
1 lIA.VE been invited by a large number of my
•-tt- fellow Citizens to become a Candidate for the representation
01 the City in Parliament, at the ensuing Election, and I respect-
'ti 115' announce to you my intention to solicit your sullrages so soon
as Parliament shall be dissol. ed.
Having spent the whole of my life in active pursuits, both official
and commercial, within the Cities of London and Westmin:ter, my
nave and my opinions upon the great political subjects which
ave for some years bean ti der public discussion, are too well known
to require explanation. I profess a firm adherence to those opinions
and a determination to act upon them, whenever occasion shall
require.
I shall, at the same time, be always ready to unite with men of
a parties in endeavouring, to effect such improvements in our
Ifttal institutions, as may be considered likely to tend to the pre-
servation of our admirable Constitution in Church and State, and
the bettering the condition of the people.
Being an Alderman of the Corporation of London, if it should be
Your pleasure to honour me with your confidence, I shall have an
additional satisfaction in seeing a revival of the period when it was
the custom that the representation of the City, should include one
or more of that body.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
London, JOHN JOHNSON.

COUNTY OF SURREY.
1
GENTLEMEY,
ACCEPT with pride and with pleasure the
"t invitation to become a Candidate for the Representation of
hist Surrey, conveyed to me in a requisition from such a portion of
Y,
as leaves me no doubt of their ability to carry their wishes
Into effect, by returning me to Parliament. 1 agree entirely with
the
uoteoPinion expressed at the meeting, held at the Bridge-house
1, that the Liberal Candidates should cordially co-operate, and
"hall have great satisfaction in uniting my Interest with that of the
(lentlesnen ;whom you have invited to share with me the honour of
.()11r suPPort.
-e principles on which I offered myself as a Candidate for your
vdffrage, in 1817,
and which I have seen no reason since to change
atare now to a great degree adopted by many who were
that time strenuously opposed to them. Those principles were,
from
r MY earliest youth, inculcated on me by the example and in-
°R, of my father. From him I learnt that as the legitimate
Peopleof every Government is tke happiness and well-being of the
eo the means of effecting that object in a free state like
must emanate from the people themselves. I am therefore
mious to extend to them as large a share of liberty and power as
~,,e3Lare capable of enjoying and of exercising to their own ad-
h"."Mage. To secure the benefits and prevent the misuse of that
.'-wme„r' I wish to have the blessings of education diffused as eaten-
Inv'y a" Possible • and for that purpose, I hope to see devised a
system of national' instruction, unencumbered by tests or conditions,
I'3' 'Vinci' the children of any class or sect could be excluded from its
Ikestiltable benefits.
b ern oPliosed to) all restrictions upon commerce. I hailed with
:Telt joy the triumph of Free Trade principles 'in my own
~,"MrY, and it affords me constant gratification to witness their aa-
Zlrdce throughout the civilized world. But their yet remain more
der one at home ; those who have abandoned what they consi-
wbred protection, claim, in turn, to be relieved from burdens
sihtphreesrsepetnaols
oft the Malt Tax, and I think some other and less
an 'l:Lim's inmost should. be substituted. Indeed there is scarcely
v- of the excise, which is not a fruitful source of immorality,
tati°n and fraud. It is surely the duty of the legislature to raise
fortsiplies for the public service with the least possible pressure on
Atistrious classes, whose more extended command of the corn-
best Prfollip is among the surest results of wise government and the
34
pr Pert of general prosperity.
tural in oY and residence in the county of Surrey, give me a na-
tion „, terest iu all questions affecting the local welfare of every por-
an,, cart's inhabitants, and you may rest assured my best attention,
tot'tusa`e shall be devoted te such of those questions as may, from
time, come before Parliament.
I have the honour to be,

Your faithful Servant,
