TIIE LIBERAL ELECTION COMMITTEE FOR THE RETURN
OF LORD JOHN RUSOELL, JAMES FATTISON, ESQ., SIR
GEORGE LARPLNT, AND BARON LIONEL DE ROTHS-
CHILD, TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
oIENTLEsiEN,
AStatement addressed to you by the Committee
for conducting the City Election on °Omit of the Coniervative
can•odates clumsily conceals distress and weakness =Ex misrepre-
sentation.

Tae. intemperate language used by gentlemen who presented them-
selves .t the General Conservative Meeting, while it indicated that
sense of insecurity whicu usually vents null in abuse contained dis-
areclitable imputations ag .bas; Hi, Liberal candidates, to which this
Committee felt they could not appropriately reply, without some de-
parture from that self-respect which they have determined to make
tie i rule of conduct.
When those imputationsare reduced to the more deliberate form of
an official address, however, they feel it due, not only to the general
body of the Constituency, but to the intelligent and respectable
Portion of the Conservative electors, to give such an explanation of
their position as will show that this Committee are not insensible to
the responsibility they have undertaken.
The unvarying support which the great majority of the citizens of
London have given to the Cause of Reform is matter of history.
The change in the franchise created by the Reform. Bill produced
additional evidence of the predominance of those opinions In the
return of exclusively Liberal representatives lor the whole metro-
politan constituencies. From that peried until the eeneral election
of 1841, London unitormly returned to Parliament foar Liberal re-
presentatives; until, from peculiar cireamstances, unconnected with
the general current of party politics, an equal division of the repre-
sentation took place.
Did the Conservatives rest satisfied with this arrangement? Did
Mr. Russell Mice, whose name is attached to that manifesto of
moderation with which. his recent objurgations have indicated so
little sympathy, acquiesce in the vie*
e now enunciates ? Were
ph
he and his party contented to perm *g vacancy to be filled up
by a Reform candidate ? No—when ey considered either that the
advantage of their position, or the state of the regis' er, warranted
them in placing a third candidate in the field, they di 1 not hesitate
le ve,,tare into the lottery of an election, upon data as fallacious as
the ground o their present hopes. Against the most powerful and
turcially influential candidate, and the most unscrupulous use of the
ar,,,ster freencies of every protected interest of the feigning Govern-
ment, and of the aristocracy, whose monopoly was perilled in the
contest. Mr. Mattison, in 1843, aided by nothing but his principles
and the party predilections of the constituency, was returned by a
majority sufficiently indicative of the predominance of Liberal opi-
nions iu the city of London.
Have any circumstances occurred since which would warrant the
inference that the Reform interest has retrograded arid is no longer
in the ascendant?
From the hour of Mr. Pattison's triumph this Committee have in-
cessantly " fought the battle of the Constitution in the Registration
Courts," and with such success, that not from the vague calculations
end presumptions of an electioneering agent, founded confessedly
upon the state of the register in 1843. but upon an actual canvas of
t ose electors whose opinions were Liberal or unascertained, corn -
menced and completed within the last six months, they are fully
warranted in the assurance to which they have pledged themselves,
that on the present register there is a large majority of Liberal
electors.
In the knowledge of such facts, and in the face of the past pro-
vocation wantonly offered to them by the opposition to the return of
Mr. Paulson, this Committee felt they would have altogether pros-
tituted the purposes for which the representative system was en-
trusted to the people by the constitution, if they had deprived the
co istitueticy of the power of retrieving their character from the
anomaly of placing the community of the greatest city of the world
in a state of utter political nee ation.
With the proceedings of this Committee, founded on these views,
an attempt is tow made invidiously to connect Lord J, hn Russell, on
no other fount'ation than that that great statesman is the deliberats
and first choice of the Lit eral electors.
The Comtnitt,e regard, with great complacency, an imputation of
arbitrary intolerance, based solely on the tact Hirt no ether alterna-
tive was ever offered to them than a cont, at. or the perempto. y de-
mand of the con. ession of nothing less than an equal divis on of the
IN presentation betwixt a Liberal majority, and a not very fermi-
dable Cuieservattve minority. I% hen some o'. anic machinery is
eiscuvered by which it shall be found either expedient or practice le
to reducer t e representative system to fractional rules of proportal 1,
it will beti me enough to c 4isider the reeisonableness of the pro a-
sition to have the minority represented by ens candidate, and the
majority by another.
With regard to the allusions c ntained in the Conservative address
to the relation in which the Prime Minister is alleged to stand to-
wards one of the other candidates, it is sufficient to reply that Baron
Ititlischild is the candidate, not of Lord John Russell, but of the con-
stituency ; and that while this committee regret that departure from
the ordinary amenities of political warfare, which Indecently at
tempts to implicate the first ti blister of the Crown, in the proceed-
ings .:ecullar to the tactics of contested elections, they are prepared
to take the exclusive responsibility of recommending for the suffrages
of their fellow citizens a gentleman whose unsullied private cha-
racter and exalted commercial station, alike qualify him to be the
representative of the gre test mercantile city in the world. That he
is also the symbol of a treat principle will not be regarded as a dis-
qualification for the enjoyment of the equal rights of the free citizens
of a free country by the generous and just-minded people of
England.
This Committee receive with cordiality the assurance that, among
the high-minded gentlemen whom they are proud to recognise in the
ranks of their opponents, "Lord John Ru-sell has been treated with
Perfect respect by the Conservatives of London." To these they con-
fidently appeal against the vi lent leapt ige in which it has not been
considered inconsistent with the character of gentlemen to assail the
motives of the Prime Minister in reference to this contest. His la-
borious public duties, and his official position, by leaving him de-
fenceless, ought to have spared hiin the indignity of such attacks.
But the whole body of the Liberal electors feel ttoestrained to ask
their Conservative fellow-citizens whether the following report of a
speech delivered at the London Tavern is consistent with those pre-
fessions of " perfect respect" for Lord John Russell which are so
lavishly effused in the address of their Committee :
"The ?rime Minister had associated himself with a gentleman h.
knew could not take his seat for the purpose of getting funds to carry
on the contest,"
When it is added that the name attached to this unworthy and un-
founded insinuation is that which subscribes the address containing
these claims to the credit of " treating Lord John Russell with per•
feet respect," the public will be at no loss to appreciate either the
good taste of the speech, or the sincerity of tke document.
In conclusion, the Committee leave it to the sound sense of their
fellow-citizens of all opinions to decide upon the relative merits of
the candidates before them, persuaded that the comparison must
attach them to those whose political consistency, moderati -n, posi-
tion, and qualifications most eminently fit them to represent the vast
and varied interests of the city of London.

of the)aw by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
cpluearpnessinegof a
furthering chimneyo
trh
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
.creating an even pressure on all Shur sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angi'
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectl.. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and
numerous public offices, while the plitronage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility-and gentry in eontinuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39,

7, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, July 14, 1847.
The Company's plans have been already tried, and their advan-
.ages proved, on a farm of 300 acres near Glasgow. At Edinburgh
the application of sewage water has raised the value of land from
2s 6d. an are to 151. and 201.; and at Mansfield from 4s. 6d. to
111. 4s.
The Select Committee of the House of Commons on the Company's
11111" urge the importance of the project," and declare their opinion
"that only through the agency of a company" can the objects con-
templated, " be combined and applied to the important purposes of
Cleansing our Towns, Purifying our Rivers, and Enriching our sou..
Again, the Report of Her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and
Forests prmounces "the principis involved" to be " national."
The establishment of this Company may • therefore be regarded as
the commencement of a system fraught with great national benefits,
contemplating not only profit upon invested capital, but increased
comfort and improved health to the inhabitants of towns, and ines-
timable advantages to the agriculture of the United Kingdom.
The most careful calculation that has been made, exhibits a profit
of Nom 15 to 20 per cent. ; this calculation was based upon the esti-
mated supply of Sewage to 39,000 acres, but since that time Farmers,
Market Gardeners, and Landowners, cultivating about 68,000 acres
of land have, by petition to Parliament, expresed their anxiety to
take a supply of Sewage Manure from the Company.
The Act of Incorporation requires that at least three months'
notice shall elapse between the Calls, which shall not exceed 21. 10s.
per Share. Five per cent. Interest will be paid on all stuns received
in advance of Calls.
FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Gentlemen,—l hereby request you to allot me Shares, of
21W. each, in the above Company, and I undertake to accept the
same. or any less number that may be allotted to me, to pay the
deposit of 11. per Share thereon. and to execute the necessary deeds
