TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
-RATING received very flattering assurances of
support, I beg to announce my intention of offering myself
as a CANDIDATE at the ensuing Election, to represent the City of
London.
My life has been spent in mercantile pursuits, my own interests
are .identified with those of a large portion of the constituency.
Commercial questions of importance must be brought before the new
Parliament, and I seek upon a wider sphere to promote the trade
and commerce of London by carrying out those sound principles of
legislation which I advocated as an individual before they were
adopted by Parliament, or stamped with popular approbation. It is
chiefly upon those grounds that I venture to solicit your suffrages,
and ask you to confer upon me the highest honour to which a mer-
chant of London can aspire. lam a Freeman and Liveryman of the
City, and I shall always be ready to attend to the business of the
Cordoration, and to support its interests consistently with the general
good.
We have fortunately arrived at a period when no bitter party
animosities exist, and when we may hope measures intended for
the tr-lal improvement of the country will be considered with calm-
ness and impartiality.
The extension of education shall receive my warmest support. I
admit the right of every class in the commuuity to share in the dis-
tribution of the public funds appropriated to that object : but whilst
I am desirous of acting justly by the members of other religious per-
suasions, I shall not forget what is due to the Protestant faith to
which I am sincerely attached.
I am prepared to agree to such modification of the details and
such improvement in the administration of the poor-laws as expe-
rience may dictate, ensuring to extreme want, and to the aged, the
young, and the infirm poor, that support and assistance to which
they are justly entitled. Internal improvements directed to benefit
the health, improve the morals, and to increase the comforts and
enjoyments of the great bulk of our population, shall receive my
strongest approval; but my aim will be, not so much to create new
institutions for these purposes, as to render those already existing
more effective. still preserving the principle of local self-government.
Attached as I have been through life to that party by which, in
my j adgment, the civil and religious liberties of the country have
been best promoted, and prepared as I am to support the present Ad-
ministration, in the confident hope that by its influence, wise and
salutary- measures, to extend those blessings will be adopted, I shall
nevertheless endeavour, in every instance, to form a right individual
judgment, and to maintain that independence which becomes the re-
presentative of the city of London.
I have the honour to be,
Your very faithful and obedient servant,
GEORGE LARPENT.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
TN the press of business it may occur that Letters of
Thanks miscarry ; and, being anxious to guard against the possi-
bility of being supposed insensible of favours, I adopt this public manner
of offering, for the acceptance of my Supporters and Friends, the ex-
pression of my most grateful acknowledgments. I have now the
satisfaction to assure them that their exertions justify my indulging
the most confident expectation of complete success. To preclude all
chance of the non-receipt of proxies forwarded for execution, I
earnestly request that my Friends will be careful to give me timely
intimation of any changes in their places of residence.
I have the honour to remain,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful Servant,
