OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL, JAMES PATTISON, ESQ., SIR
GEORGE LARPLNT, AND BARON LIONEL DE ROTIIS-
CHILD, TO THE ELECTORS OF TIIE CITY OF LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,
AStatement addressed to you by the Committee
for conducting the City Election on behalf of the Conservative
candidates clumsily conceals distress and weakness tinier misrepre-
sentation.
The intemperate language used by gentlemen who presented them-
selves at the General Conservative Meeting, while it indicated that
sense of insecurity which usually vents itself in abuse contained dis-
creditable imputations against the Liberal candidates, to which this
Committee felt they could not appropriately reply, without some de-
parture from that self-respect which they have determined to make
their rule of conduct.
When these imputations are reduced to the more dolilserate form of
an official address, however, they feel it due, not only to the general
body of the Constituency, but to the intelligent and respectable
portion of the Conservative electors, to give such an explanation of
their position as will show that this Committee are not insensible to
the responsibility they have undertaken.
The unvarying support which the great majority of the citizens of
London have given to the cause of Reform is matter of history.
The change in the franchise created by the Reform Bill produced
additional evidence of the predominance of those opinions in the
return of exclusively Liberal representatives for the whole metro-
politan constituencies. From that period until the-general election
of 1841, London uniformly returned to l'arliament four Liberal re-
presentatives ; until, from peculiar circumstances, unconnected with
the general current of party politics, an equal division of the repre-
sentation took place.
Did the Conservatives rest satisfied with this arrangement ? Did
Mr. Russell Ellice, whose name is attached to that manifesto of
moderation with which his recent objurgations have indicated so
little sympathy, acquiesce in the views he now enunciates ? Were
he and his party contented to permit a Whig vacancy to be filled up
by a Reform candidate ? No—when they considered either that the
advantage of their position, or the state of the register, warranted
them in placing a third candidate in the field, they di I not hesitate
to venture into the lottery of an election, upon data as fallacious as
the ground of their present hopes. Against the most powerful and
socially influential candidate, and the most unscrupulous use of the
Moister agencies of every protected interest of the reigning Govern-
ment, and of the aristocracy, whose monopoly was perilled in the
contest. Mr. Pattison, in 1843, aided by nothing but his principles
and the party predilections of the constituency, was returned by a
Majority sufficiently indicative of the predominance of Liberal opi-
nions in the city of London.
Have any circumstances occurred since which would warrant the
inference that the Reform interest has retrograded and is no longer
in the ascendant?
From the hour of Mr. Pattison's triumph this Committee have in-
cessantly " fought the battle of the Constitution in the Registration
Courts," and with such success, that not from the vague calculations
and presumptions of an electioneering agent, founded confessedly
upon the state of the register in 1843. but upon an actual canvas of
those electors whose opinions were Liberal or unascertained, com-
rcenced and completed within the last six months, they are Hilly
warranted in the assurance to which they have pledged themselves,
that on the present register there is a large majority of Liberal
electors.
In the knowledge of such facts, and in the face of the past pro-
vocation wantonly offered to them by the opposition to the return of
Mr. Pattison, this Committee felt they would have altogether pros-
tituted the purposes for which the representative system was en-
trusted to the people by the constitution, if they had deprived the
constituency of the power of retrieving their character from the
UoaalY of placing the community of the greatest city of the world
state of utter political negation.
With the proceedings of this Committee, founded on these views,
an attempt is now made invidiously to connect Lord John Russell, on
no other foundation than that that great statesman is the deliberate
and first choice of the Liberal electors.
The Committee regard, with great complacency, an imputation of
arbitrary intolerance, based solely on the fact that no ether alterna.. tine was ever offered to them than a contest, or the peremptory de-
mand of the concession of nothing less than au equal division of the
rdeapjleosetation betwixt a Liberal majority, and a not very formi-
Constratlve minority. 'When some organic machinery is
discovered y which it shall be found either expedient or practicable
to redueeth e representative system to fractional rules of proportion,
it will beti me enough to
consider the reasonableness of the propo-
sition to have the minority represented by ene candidate, and the
majority by another.
With regard to the allusions contained in the Conservative address
to the relation in whirls the Prime Minister is alleged to stand to-
wards one of the other candidates, it is sufficient to reply that Baron
Rothschild is the candidate, not of Lord John Russell, but of the con-
tituen •

representative of the greatest mercantile city in the world. That he
is also the symbol of a great principle will not be regarded as a dis-
qualification for the enjoyment of the equal rights of the free citizens" a free country by the generous and just-minded people of
England.
This Committee receive with cordiality the assurance that, among
this high-minded gentlemen whom they are proud to recognise in
the
ranks of their opponents, " Lord John Russell has been treated with

GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and
all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such
perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively- tell a
paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the
imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into
the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when
he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the
most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but
the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as
the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon
he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable
of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET
of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for
the last thirty years.
