MIDDLESEX ELECTION.
"England expectS every Reformer will do his duty," at this
limspidolitia moment.
If the principles of Reform are adm:tted to be just, and in unison
vrttli• the progressive spirit of the age, it is the imp( retire duty of all
Mos. who profess them to sta., d forward, in their defence and sup-
Pore, hi the moat manly and unflinching manner.

Persil in Its polit'cal sentiments, Is it not egregiously absurd for

D!►naptea 2 TOP.= And Liberal/ism are as opposite as light

Vet then every true and staunch Reformer, and lover of his coin-
!Y. hninortallse his name by his efforts to purge the Metropolitan
Day from such viol listless in its representation, and contribute
with a munificence commensurate with the goodness and excellence
of the cause, in aid of those funds, which are ow at the disposition
4/f /tr. Osborne* Committee, so that his return to Parliament may be
anytted by the most triumphant success.
Every one must be sensible that, in contested elections, the ex-
penses are generally and almost unavoidably enormous; and it
would be a shame and a scandal to the independent and opulent
Electors of the County of Middlesex to suffer the Man of their Choice
to be exposed to the most inconsiderable charge, or for the Prospect
Or 1* i.reat political victory to be sacrificed by a deficiency of the
" sinews of war."

TO THE FREE TRADE ELECTORS OF
THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.
The Free Tr -.dere of Yorkshire having determined to bring for.
ward Mr. COBDE.'I4 for the West Riding, in opposition to Mr.
Beckett Denison. the confirmed Monopolist, we feel it our duty to
address you.
We are not suprised that a feeling of indignation should prevail
at the prospect of the return of Mr. Denison as the colleague of Lord
morpeth, and we rejoice that the character of the Riding will
be vindiesi-d. and its reputation sustained, by a contest the
issue of which we cannot for a mome,..t doubt. o,r expectation
that I.lr. Cobden will be the choice of the electors of the
West, Ridaig, is founded upon the belief that his great
menaces are appreciated by a constituency which in past times
tura done so much for freedom, and on the undeniable tact that there
ir a vet"' large majority on your register in favour of fi ee trade and
Is liberal policy. To send Mr. Denison to rarliament is to give your
sanction to principles which, when you last elected Lord Morpeth,
you emphatically condemned. It is to neutralise and destroy the
influence of your county—it is virtually to disfranchise the thirty
thousand men whose names are on your electoral roll.
Are you prepared still to maintain the glorious cause which your
Course on that occasion so signally advanced, or shall it be said
that you threw away or undervalued the triumph your exertions
had won ?
ELECTORS OF THE WEST RIDING i

Yesterday Mr. Villierswas chosen by the vast constituency of
South Lancashire to represent them in Parliament: not a voice was
raised against him, so great have been his services,—so noble his
sacrifices for as and for you, and for the country. Is not the West
Riding equally willing, as we know it is able, to set the seal 01 its
commendation on the fellow- abourer with Mr. Villiers in the
greatest victory which the people have gained in modern times?
Mr. Villiers for Sbuth Lancashire, and Mr. Cobden for the West
Ridi..g, would speak to the empire and to the world as the irrt•ver-
sible verdict of the British people against the delusion and oppres-
sion of monopoly.
We have forned ourselves into a Committee for aiding your exer-
tions, and shall especially address ourselves to the non-resident
Electors of the Riding We rely on your zeal and determination;
we know your power ; we have a firm Confidence in your resolu-
tion to be free.

We therefore exhort you, as brethren in the same good cause, to
make one effort, and for ever dispel the delusion that Monopoly has
still a resting place among the Electors of the West Riding!

On behalf of the South La^eashire Com•nittee for as-
sisting in the return of Mr. Cobden for the West
Riding of Yorkshire.
