TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slit.,—Alderman Thompson has voted for keeping up the
duty on sugar at sixty-three shillings a hundred weight, or
nearly sevenpeace a pound.
He has also voted against hearing any evidence on the Corn.
laws, or making any inquiry into their operation. He will
neither examine the question himself n3r listen to the result of
the investigations of others.
Alderman Thompson has deceived and betrayed his consti-
tuents on every point. He solemnly pledged himself to vote
for shortening the duration of Parliaments, extension of the
Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Repeal of the Corn-laws. He
has broken every one of these promises, and has shown, by his
political conduct, that he is unworthy of confidence.

.
Let no man trust Alderman Thompsun any more, or place
the slightest dependence upon any political promise that he may
make. ONE OF THE BETRAYED.
