JOSEPH IVIMEY, Hon. Sec.

TO THE ELECTOIIS OF THE CITY OF I.O:NDui.

THE Requisition-to Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
signed by 5,000 Electors, requesting his consent to be
put in nomination as a CANDIDATE-to represent our Me-
tropolitan City in Parliefient, has been responded to by his
Lordship in a manner atAce consistent with our anticipations
of his high-spirited and di,interested character, and gratifying
to our most ardent hoka. No private considerations have
been permhted to inter:cLe with the sense of public duty or
with the call made upoti his Lordship by the Electors of
London. A Member of file •• House of Ru >sell, a
tame sanctified in the estimatioa of. every English_
mm by its memo] cramection with the Civil and
Religious Libel ties of IA country; the author of tit, Reform
Bill, the measure by wbieh your right of exercising that judg-
rarnt to which we now appeal, has been either created or
secured ; the Ministerialo.eader, under whose firm and a.1),1
direction thelegitimate knits of Reform have been gradually
developed ; the intrepid•.4tatesman, who has .crowned a long
series of valuable public terviees by the recent proposal of mea-
sures, the just and necessity resubs of the Reform Bill, foundet
upon the pinciple of Free Trade as opposed to Monopolies, and
the promotion of the geoeial and public good as opposed to the
unjust protection of partie§lar interests, has placed him,elf, and
the fate of the measure with which he is now identified, in

your hands. s
The first City of this Treat Empire in point of importance,
you will also be the first an po'nt of time, to pass your judg-
ment upon the question now submitted to the Electoral body
of the United Kingdom. S. Your position is an important one ;
your decision must powcriffully influence the result of other
elections. Approach the einestinn now before you with the calm-
ness and the solemnity which belong to the momentous con -e-
-quences which are at isstrk; and let your decision be consistent
with that unalterable attlehment to the principles of enlight-
ened liberality and equal Itstice, in every branch of our legis-
# lotion, which has always inguished the citizens of London.
A great crisis in our ft cial and commercial affairs has ar-
rived; of tbis fact nor' bcting man can entertain a doubt.
Our commerce requires tie most fostering care to maintain a
progressive prosperity coWensurate with the'continuous and
fearful increase of our ropulacturing population; foreign na-
tions, profiting by the S,Spportunities of pease, are becom-
ing our rivals in the' marke:s of the world ; and,
jealous of our restrictions and protections, they are
driven in self-defencdnto retaliatory measures of the
same character; the stability cf our monetary system is en-
dangered by the sudden aral'vinlent convulsions of our foreign
trade, engeadered by a fese system of artificial interference
and partial protection, ailst our manufacturers are pining
under an insufficient denabd and falling prices for their pro-
ductions, and our industrious population is subjected to the
evils of irregular and ins4cient wages, aggravated by an arti-
ficially high price of the Kel:cessaries of life. Why is it, with
the multiplied advantagel which this country possesses—
skid, capital, machinery; coal, means of communica-
tion by land and by sea, intelligence, industry, end
a moral tone of feeling superior to most other countries,
we are still thus distressed? It is because, in the vain hope of
serving a few favoured interests, we interfere with trade, and
make that, which can only exist in a healthy state when left
free t 3 pursue its own objects, the subject of restrictions
equally absurd and unjust.
To meet these complicated and growing difficulties a system
of measures has been proposed, by which we firmly believe that
a moderate and comparatively steady price may he secured to
the necessaries of life, without permanent injury to
the agricultural cr other interests of the country ;
by which the foreign detnand .for the products of our
Manufacturing industry may be extended, the profits of capital
raised, and the field for the employment of our population ex-
panded; whilst at the same time our friendly relations with
foreign countries wi'l he strengthened by the increase, of mutual
intercourse productive of reciprocal benefits, and the necessity
for the imposition of further' burdens upon the people, in the
form of taxation, will be either altOgethete obviated or
g.eatly diminishsd. A Mids'ry instructed in these
wise ' and patriotic purposes by a formidable combina-
tion of party-spirit and class-interests, has made its
solemn appeal to the country ; and it now rests with those who
arc the final depositaries of political power, the Constituencies
of the kingdom, to decide upon what principles they will
henceforth be governed. The issue is now in the han is of the
Electors; the question before you is plain, simple, arid distinct.
You have to decide between Monopoly on the oue hand and
Freedom on the other ; that monopoly which has been justly
described as the parent of scarcity, of dearness. and of uncer-
tainty, and that free commercial intercourse by which alone
the prosperity of nations can be permanently sustained.
In 1831, the battle was fought in defence cf the Rotten
Boroughs, the fortified entrenchments o Monopoly and Class-
interests ; and the Citizens of London nobly bore their part in
the victory of that day.
The same principle has again reared its demon form in de-
fence of laws by which the public interest is unjustly injured
for the benefit, supposed rather than real, of a few ; anti again
the Constituency of London is called upon to be foremost in the
fight and to do its duty in the great cause of liberality and justice.
You have before you the grounds on which we solicit your
aid and c r-operation in the great cause in which we are em-
barked—look also to the consequences of hesitation or indif-
ference. If the measures proposed by our present Alinisters,
and which are now submitted to your judgment, be rejected,
to what alternative mast we look ? Read the addresses of the
Tory candidates : do you - find in them the suggestion of any
real awd definite means by IN hich the difficulties of the country
are to be met and overcome ? Do they contain anything but
dextrous ambiguities, and phrases, the only effect of which is
to conceal the meaning of those who use them ? Turn again
to the speeches of their leaders in Parliament : do you there
meet with anything more substantial or satisfactoi y ? Do
they not find fault N\ It. h everything, and suggest nothing ?
Deceive not yourselves, Electors, nor suffer others to de-
ceive you. If the opponents of the existing Govtriiment are
thrust into power, either the present measures will, under acme
specious disguise; be carried by those who are now the loudest
in denouncing them, in which case not only the efficacy of the
measures themselves wil be impaired, but all confidence in
public men will be utterly subverted ; or, in place of the
wise and beneficial policy now recommended to you, we must
look for a heavy increase of direct taxation, accompanied by
the reten' ion of those commercial fetters by which your power
of sustaining even your present burthens is seriously re ippled.
Electors 1 we feel assured that this appeal will not be made
to you in vain. ' We • can be impelled by no motives, we can
have no interests to consult, but those which are common to
the electoral body at large. In pledging ourselves, individu-
ally and collectively, to shrink from no sacrifices, and spare no
exertions by which we can promote. the triumphant return of
Lord John Russell, we are imposing upon out selves duties
which no ordinary considerations would induce us to under-
take : but we do it under a deep and well-considered convic-
tion that the measures of which Lord John Russell has bean
the proposer and most powerful advocate, are founded upon
principles of wisdom and justice, and that they are equally
essential to the present relief and to the permanent welfare of
the country.
By reforming our commercial code, with a view to the ulti-
mate adoption of 'the principles of free trade, we believe that
the resources of this country and the happiness of its people are
still susceptible of an alms st indefinite development ; whilst
frem the absolute and contemptuous rejection of all measures
directed to the removal of monopolies and the reduction of
vexatious impcsts, which we have recently witnessed, we can
anticipate nothing but the continuance and further inerease of
our present difficulties, the augmentation of our fiscal burdens,
the exasperation of commercial and national jealousies, that
prosperity, which we might have enjoyed, passing away to
other lands. and, in the end, danger to the peace and safety of
the empire.

From such calamities may the wisdom and independence cf
the Electoral body at the present crisis prove to be a sufficient
safeguard ! We shall do our duty, and we call" upon the Elec-
tors at large to co-operate with us, by using every effort to se-
cure the return of Lord John Russell, and of the Candidates
who are now associated with h:m, in support of principles upon
our fate as a great wealihy, and powerful nation depends.
