The following address to the electors has been issued :
" Castle, Tamworth, Sept. 7, 1341.
" It is my intention to offer myself as a candidate for-
your suffeages at the ensuing election. •
It is highly desirable that at such a crisis as the
present., you should each of you be afforded an oppor •
tunity of recording your vote for or a.7,-ainst that atro-
cious monopoly in the food of the peop.'e which is fast;
destroying our trade, killing off our industrious poor,
and unchristianising our country.
" There are at this moment, notwithstanding the ig-
norant and cruel assertion of the Duke of Wellington
to the contrary, very many thousands of hones:„ indus-
trious, and sober men, unable to provide even a moderato
supply of the bare necessities of life for themselves and
families; and this appalling amount of wretchedAess is
the necessary consequence of a system of legisi .tion
which, whilst it violates the first Jaw of nature, seta at
nought the declared will of the Almighty.
" It is in. support of this system that Sir Robert Peer,
as chief of the Monopolig Ministry, now claims your

electoral approval. He requires you to give your sanc-
tion to the legislative counteraction of God's goodness—
' to the withholding of needful food from millions of your
fellow-country:nen, that some few thousands of pauper
aristocrats may be clothed in purple and line linen, and
fare sumptuously ',a the hard earnings of tine pel.secatect
children of industry.
" As h community of professing Christians. it is our
bounden duty to feed the hungry and clothe the naked.
And, as we pray the Divine Author of all good he
will su'.ply to his creatures a daily-sufficiency afbed, is
is incumbent upon us to oppose and thwart every it.-
tempt, open or covert, by selfish or designing men, to•
intercept the bounties of our Creator, or otherwise to in-
flict upon the people a needless, because not unavoidable
famine.

" The law which taxes the first necessaries of life
sentences thespoor tenll the horrors of gradual starva-
tion. Yet this unchristian law is supported by Sir Ro-
bert Peel, who is supposed to have irpresentqd your
wishes in the Legislature, and who now- desires your
snpctiar, of his unnatural and anti-national adroca. y of

monopoly in tlul Councils of our Qv'en.
Electors of Tamwortli!-.---Before your country—

. _
fronted with litingry honesty, paralped inda.lnr,Y, and
perishing masses of mortal r beings—and, fr.- ;iyyx:d
every other consideration, in the presence of tire
nal, how will You answer this claim upon your eles.-to7ai
allegiance? You can owe no allegiance to inhumanity--
you are at least free to be Christians—you cannot
compelled to battle against God ; nor can ev:m a. 17rst;
Lord of the Treasury absolve-you from the con;ettuence.-;:
of each folly. Will yen abet the iniquity—aro You pre-
pared to participate in the infamy of inflicting an ever-
recurring famine (a life of want and .woe, and an un-
timely deat.h7) on your fellow-creatures? Or you
not either redeem the land of 'our birth and your ,3ur-
ferinz brethren from the unholy grasp of the oppreso,-?
" Should you re-elect Sir Robert Peel, you will dis
play no independence in yours(Aves, nor refl.

honour upon him. The Dtde of Richmond has decq:treli'.
that Sir Robert holds Oleo but upon his approval andL
on his suli;.renee ; if, therefore, you choose as your re-•
'presentative a man whose courSe of actions is thus dic-
tated by other,, you do but make yourselves the deputy-
registrars of the will of others. Although you return
the Member, he is but the representative of the landed
aristocracy. I ask you, then, by asserting your own fa-
dencndence, to protest against this dictation of the legis-
lative landowners, who, denying your representative tut
opinion of his own, would but use you in the evil work:
of furthering ,their heartless purposes against the inte-
rests and in defiance of the rights-of every other portioa
of this vast community.

" You are not, upon this occasion, required to decide:
between factions. It is no longer a question whether
Whigs or Tories shall • enjoy the emolument of office.

Whether there shall be more food fur those 11-110 ar
pining from want, or whether that starvation which is
already a legal infliction shall become a perpetual one.
This is the question. Sir Robert and myself may be
looked upon as the incarnation of opposite systems—lie of
artificial scarcity and of sliding-scale demand for labour
—I of a perfectly free interchange of the products or
industry for food. You, electors, have to choose between..
us, •or rather between the systems which we respctivcly
embody; and it is to afford you such opportunity that I
offer myself to your notice as a candidate for your
suffrages. I have the honour to be gentlemen. your
obedient. servant, " JAMES ACKLAND."
A 1.

letter from Hanover, 29th ult., in the Leipsic Ga-
zelle, informs us that the States arc to be convened in
October or November, and that. this meeting, which is
earlier than was intended, is chiefly.owing to the 1.0.0
lution of the Duchy of Brunswick to withdraw from thes
local customs union, a measure which would have ;,cut
__-
in-
jurious effect, it is said, for Hanover ; and as the _ .
tion is to take place on the 31st December, u previous
meeting of the States becomes necessary.
