GENTLEMEN, ' • -
ITAVING been enkagerl twenty-seven years it
-81- your service as a Magistrate, in the course of whicl
I have had the honour of enjoying your confidence as you;
Representative in five successive Parliaments, - it cannot ha'
be highly satisfactory to me, to lie able solemnly to declare
that I have never swerved from a rigid adherence
_to_thosi
principles: Which first entitled me to your notice, and whict
are already too well known, and have bcnri too often public]:
and Practically evinced, tc) require any repetition ; I feel
howevers that it is a duty which I owe to you, in solicitiok
your sty ort to return n.e to Parliament for the sixth tih:e
to avow, that I posses the same unalterable attachment to
the Sovereign, the Laws, and the Constitution, the same
zealous devotion to the real interests of the_country; and the
same. ardent desire to.. proiuote the welfare, and protect thi
rights and privileges, oflhis.great eity- and my constituents,
which I originally professed, as the bads of nay pretension,
to your favour, and with the iittportance of -which my -mind i:
indelibly impreswd. My public conduct having always beset
candid and sincere ; I can safely lay soy hand on my, heart,
and assert, that it has been equally conscientious, Upon the
firm ground, therefore, of consistency, and inunutaure publio
principles, I venture again to reques,t your suErages
.at 414
ensuing Election.

GEN7'IAINILIC,
AVING understood that Wm. Mills, Esq
one of your late Representatives, has signified his in,
tention not to offer himself as a Candidate for the honour o
representing you in Parliament, and having rectived.highl]
flattering assurances of support, from a great body. nf the In,
dependent' Freemen, I beg to solicit the honour of your suf
frages and support at the next Election. .

As it Native of the City off' Coventry, I feel deeply interestei
in its welfare, avid having no motive or 'object at heart but
the good of my Country, unconnected with party or privat4
vit.vo, it is my firm resoluticn to verve you 'faithfully, should

Fleet-street, London, Oct. l, 1812.

To the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY. and-FREEHOLDERS ol
the COMSTY of 'DORSET.

GENTLEMEN,
very deep affliction I experienced a fees
days ago, in thte unexpected death of -my only Daughter,
will, I mu confident, be considered by my worthy and loci
.tried Friends, the FREEHOLDERS of this County, as ai
allowable excuse for my application to you by• a printec
Address.

During the long period of Two and Twenty Years, that
have had,. the honour of representing. you in Parliament,
haje never been, actuated, but by a steady attention to you
Interests, and to the generrl welfare of our Country, without
any view to personal advantage. The honour of represent-
ing so respectable a County, and of possessing the appro.
bation of my Constituents, have been the great objects o.
my ambition. These Principlts, fixed on my Mind, shall eve]
gover►l my conduct whilst I continue in a public station.

- - - .
•It lis necessary for me now explicitly to declare the line
mean to pursue. The ntimbei• of my Friends who suppor
the two Honourable Oentlemen, "Mr. Portman, and Mr
Bankes, who are again my Competitors, being • so near':
equal, there is nu system I can'properly adopt, but that o
neutrality. I. pledge myself therefore to you once more
most solemnly and most unequivocally to adhere strictly t%
to that neutrality which I have always most W011:4111
obserre d.

I`7.ti all ,remember„Gentlemen, as I do, the reports whiol
the zeal of some persons caused to be circulated at the ha
Election, of- my 'haring departed from my enp,-agement, an(
haring, joined. Mr. Bankes.. TOtallY unfounded as these re
ports were, e:y efforts at the moment to repel. them were c
little avail. The effect they produced, was a les3 of the Vote
of some hundreds of those who. had been my Friends at th
preceding Election, but who at the second Election gay.
their suffrages to Mr. Portman alone—a measure which email
be of 110 utility to him (the real contest being acknowledge(
.to zest between himself and Mr. Bankes) though production
of yery considerable chsapPointment and injury to me.
..Encouraged by the flattering expressions and assurances of
those same Friends, when I waited upon them individuall:
soon after that Election, I am fully persuaded that they 17;,:t1
,give no credit in future to insinuations equally injuripus to m]
interest aii3 to my character ;, and that they will nut suppose
me capable of deviating from the solemn declaration I ne
repeat ;to yon, of the most strict neutrali'y on my part
Under this impression, I look forward with sanguine hope(
to that kind support at your hands, which mast eusare /.0
success.

I have the Lonour to be,

Gentlemen,
With the utmost gratitude, respect, art! eeteem,

A T a numerous and respectable MEETING
'Lim- of the FREEMEN of the CI'T'Y of worxEsTtat,
resident in London, held the, lst,instant, at the White,Hart
Tavern, Chancery-lane,
Mr. HILL in the Chair, - •
It was unanimously Resolved, .

- 'That the conduct of our late Representatite, WILLIAM
GORDON, Esq. has been such as to merit our warmest ap-
probation, and entitle him to our unqualified support at the
approaching• Election.
That a Committee be appointed to superintend his interest
and co-operate with the• Freemen of Woreestff ;in securing
his re-election. • :

T a numerous MEETING of INDEPEN-
-"k DENT LIYERYMEN, Friends to ROBERT WAITH-.
MAN, Esq. held at tho New London Tavern, Cheapside,
October 1, 1312.. .
Resolved unanimously,

Mat it appears highly proper that each Candidate should
upou his individual. interest, and that this Meeting
recommend the Committee, appointed on Saturday last, to
adopt the most effectual measures to secure the Election of
Mr. Waithman.

--That-this Meeting, though acting separately for Mr. Waith-
manyvill cordially concur in promoting the interests of Mr.
Alderman Combe and Mr. Alderman Wood.

That, from the free offers of support, and the unsolicited
pledges already given by numerous classes of the. Independent
Liver's, there exists the most confident hope that the issue of
the approaching contest will proye a' decided triumph for the
.elective franchise of tbe City of London, and the cause of ge-
neral freedom.

That, as it is the unqualified sense ofthis Meeting, in cOn-
_
formity to the 'pure and genuine principles of thc Cnnstitu-
tion,that Representatives ought to be returned to parliament
free of expense, a Subicription be immediately opened for de-
fraying the expenses which may be incurred by that Com-
mittee.
