GENTLEMEN,
N a DISSOLUTION a PARLIAMENT it
is my intention to seek a renewal of the trust you have
reposed in me from the birth of your elective franchise.
I have constantly entleavound to act upon the principles which,
fifteen years ago, recommended me to your adoption. and hope that
thetdelity with which I have. served you, may be rewarded by your
prolonged confidence.
An impression prevails that at present there are no subjects of
liroirinent interest calculated to excite any anxious public feeling.
But, lu my judgment, there are some 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 ;or its free exercise and to quicken the sense of re-
sponsibility in the House of Commons, by shorten7ng 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 :arge, who, having ceased to urge, would seem to have
'abandoned them ; but matured experience has sanctioned me own
;conviction, that our political liberty requires these further securities.
I eariu.stly hope that a thorough ,revisal of the Criminal Law, in-
cluding a substitution tbr the Punt-hment or Death, will re speedily
accomplished ; and that, with a view to prevent crime, to advance
true religion and virtue, and gs_nerally to ennoble the race to which
we belong', the benefits of education nwy be freely extended to all
classes, withiut reference to rellgiuus creeds.
It is, in my opinion, the duty of ttie State, by a general and com-
prehensive measure, to rovide the Means of useful instruction and
Moral cultivation for the poor, independently of fortuitous and eha-
Titab e aid ; but the State has no right, by an undue and partial
distribution of funds to which all contribute. or by other arrange-
ments, to render the inculcation of. theological opinions a condition
of the gift. This is to create .a new and cruel civil disablity. The
children of those who conscientiously refine such terms are left in
darknese, while others, by 'Compliance, obtain that intellectual su-
periority which is an unspeakable advantage for the general purposes
of life. . .
The whole solieme lately proposed by the Government is, inde-,d,
lamentably deficient for the great end of educating generally the
tueglected• children ,in our town, awl rural districts. The grants
are destined only to rallies capable of 1E1.10,40,1g the greater
part of the means, namely, to the wealthy sects and associati ; but
nethlag is provided for the destitute and frlendiess'poor unconnected
with these favoured parties, or Located in thinly populated regions
whefe spontaneous efforts can scarcely bo expected or effectual. It
Is admitted that nine-tenths of such grants will tall to the share of
the Church schools where the conditions of cat chasm and church
attendance are imperative. The late measure ,s, therefore, open to
the objections justly made to church-rates, and to ndewments by
public money of religious comn.uulties, white it invests the Church
With an undue control oser the tempot al welfare of the people. and
the Government with a widely-dithised and influential patronage.
The amount at presettt destined for this perverse applcation is small.
To be effective, it must be increased—and largely. It is the seed of
a tree which may in time overshadow us Teese considerations, and
cite eager support which the plan has received from some who
Usually discountenance the cause of religious liberty, have
awakened a jealousy in the public mind which cannot fall to
Weaken the moral authority of the Church of England. Siticerely
attached to that Church, I see this consequence with deep concern.
My conviction is, that a measure which practically tends to invest
her with invidious advantages over other religious

should carry this project into effect, and
Manage all subsequent detail., without the legislative agency of
Parliament; but I am has inclined to ascribe the errors of the
scheme itself to an Administration which I have every disposition to
than to the peculiar condition of Parliamentary parties at this
period.
sup support
It is for electoral bodies like your own, by the constitutional
meatus now at hand, to provide her Majesty's Ministers with
allies in the House of-. Commons, to stimulate and encourage
them in correcting these . errors,— in adapting these laws to the
modern condition of the people,—in more justly distributing the
public burdens,—and in steadily improvinz our pilitical Institutions,
while they constantly maintain inviolate, the time-tried principles
en which those institutions are based But, the greatest vigilance
will be needful to guard against any compromise of these principles,
if the Administration should he left in their present false position.
And this leads me to remark that the tendency of Parliament has
lately been, to clothe the Executive Governmait with powers be-
yond its constitutional attributions. and to entrust it with the ad-
ministration of local end subordinate det dis which the jealous wis-
dom of our ;nicest. rs retained in their own hands.
If this centralizing disposition be allowed to proceed, it will ren-
der us sensible of the immediate arm of Government in oar homes,
and on our hearths. • Our corn von la* and the genius of our na-
tional customs require, that matters of a local nature should, in
general, be adjusted by municipal or parochial functionaries ame-
nable to the law. By committing them to the Executive Govern-
ment—which is above the law—and by thus increasing its power,
Patronage, and means of corruption, we shall incur the evils of an
ithsolute monarchy, without the check of individual responsibility.
With such views and apprehensions, I have recently voted smainst
the Ministerial scheme or Education, and the far a new Ad-
ministration—by the Executive Government—of the Modern Poor-
!am. with regard to which I find my original objections fully, and
in all respects confirmed.
These, and various other topics, I am anxious to discuss with yon,
for nothing would induce me again to accept a trust so sacred at
your hands, unless there remained between us that perfect under-
standing which has hitherto rendered our long connexion not only
gratlrYing to my own yourselves. feelings, but, I venture to hope, satisfactory to
