Having (131NI/EXEN
i uow sat n Parliament as one of your Representatives for
tie period of fifty-six years, the time has arrived when, notwith-
'Standing your personal kindness and friendly feeling towards myself,
twhieh. communicated trom so many quarters, I cannot doubt would
mulueo you to elect me (luring my life, I feel it my duty to an-
°mice, that by reason of my advanced age, I do not intend to be
again a candidate for your representation.
I am, r believe, the oldest Member of either House of the Legisla-
ture, and I entertain the deepest feeling of gratitude and thankful-
ness to Divine Providence that my life has been spared to witness
the aecomplishment of all the great measures of public policy which
I Was early taught by my most dear and ever-lamented friend, Mr. Fox,
to be essential to the Hill and perfect development of the English
onSti %Ulm
I have lived to see every disability by reason of religious opinions
removed the representation of the House of Commons placed upon
most Popular and, in my judgment, sound and substantial founda-
tion ; all restriction upon the procurement of human food in the
course of permanent abolition ; the people of England contented and
prosperous at home, their power universally felt and respected abroad,
and their policy and free institutions exercising a most teneflcial
and salutary influence in every quarter of the globe ; and all
this under the reign of a Queen adorned by every virtue, and whose
object and aim in life seem to be the welfare and happiness of ber
subjects. and the general good of mankind.
I have only to add, that for you I shall to my dying hour entertain
the Most sincere sentiments of affection and gratitude, and I feel
that the beat wish I can utter for my country is that all the eon-
atituencitie of the empire may ever be actuated by that steady and
rational love of civil and religious liberty, and attachment to
OPright, honourable, and consistent public conduct, which I have for
upwards of half a century experienced, to be all-powerful in the
county of Middlesex.
