TO THE ELECTORS OF THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH
OF LAMBETH.
C.ENTLEMEII,
ON a DISSOLUTION of PARLIAMENT it
is my intention to seek a renewal of the trust you have
reposed in me from the birth of your elective franchise.
I have constantly endeavoured to act upon the principles which,
fifteen years ago, recommended me to -your adoption, and hope that
the fidelity with which I have served you, may be rewarded by your
prolonged confidence.
An impression prevails that at present there are no subjects of
Prominent interest calculated to excite any anxious public feeling.
/iat, in my judgment, there are some to which your earnest
attention may be well directed, and you are entitled to know my
sTntirnents upon them, when I ask you to retain me in your
service.
.I trust that the enfranchisement of commerce is in rapid progress,
and that a reform to be effected by the next Parliament in the
financial arrangements of this country will administer relief to the
Industrious and trading classes.
My desire to extend the elective franchise to all householders—to
obtain means for its free exercise—and to quicken the sense of re-
sponsibility in the House of Commons, by shortening the duration
of Parliaments—is undiminished. If these matters have not lately
been pressed on the consideration of Parliament by those within its
walls—the fault (if fault it be), allow me to say, rests with you and
the people at large,who, having ceased to urge, would seem to have
abandoned them ; but matured experience has sanctioned my own
conviction, that our political liberty requires these further securities.
, I earnestly hope that a thorough revisal of the Criminal Law, in-
cluding a substitution for the Punishment of Death, will be speedily
accomplished ; and that, with a view to prevent crime, to advance
true religion and virtue, and generally to ennoble the race to which
We belong, the benefits of education may be freely extended to all
classes. without reference to religious creeds.
It is, in my opinion, the duty of the State, by a general and com-
prehensive measure, to provide the means of useful instruction and
Moral cultivation for the poor, independently of fortuitous and cha-
ritable aid ; but the State has no right, by an undue and partial
distributlon of funds to which all contribute, or by other arrange-
Ments. to render the inculcation of theological opinions a condition
Of the gift. This is to create a new and cruel civil disability. The
e tildren of those who conscientiously refuse such terms are left in
darkness, while others, by compliance, obtain that intellectual su-
periority which is an unspeakable advantage for the general purposes
of life.

le scheme lately proposed by the Government is, indeed,t
lateentablyThe who
deficient the of eduting the
neglected children in our towns and rural districts.generall
The grants
are destined only to parties capable of furnishing the greater
Part of the means, namely, to the wealthy sects and associations ; but
nothing is provided for the destitute and friendless poor unconnected
with these favoured parties, or located in thinly populated regions
where spontaneous efforts can scarcely be expected or effectual. It
a, admitted that nine-tenths of such grants will fall to the share of
the Church schools where the conditions of catechism and church
attendance are imperative. The late measure is, therefore, open to
ne objections justly made to church-rates, and to endowments by
Public money of religious communities, while it invests the Church
an undue control over the temporal welfare of the people, and
e an
with a widely-diffused and influential patronage.
The amount at present destined for this perverse application is small.
To be effective, it must be increased—and largely. It is the seed of
a tree which may in time overshadow us. These considerations, and
the eager support which the plan has received from some who
nstiallY discountenance the cause of religious liberty, have
...akened a jealousy in the public mind which cannot fall to
weaken the moral authority of the Church of England. Sincerely
relied to that Church, I see this consequence with deep concern.
—.—"llletion is, that a measure which practically tends to invest
„7-....4l*igeidlous advantages over other religions denominations
" enisnger: rather than secure, her connexion with the State.
E_ Moreover, I consider it au irregularity to be deprecated, that the
xecutive Government should carry this project into effect, and
I,',n_annge all subsequent details, without the legislative agency of
'arliament ; but I am less inclined to ascribe the errors of the
*scheme itself to an Administration which I have every disposition to
support than to the Peculiar condition ofParliamentary parties at this
Period. It is for electoral bOdies like your own, by the constitutional
Mies" now
at hand, to provide her Majesty's Ministers with
„ in the House of Commons, to stimulate and encourage
rout m in correcting these errors, in adapting these laws to the
public
condition of the Peeple,--in more justly distributing the
while
burdens,—and in Steadily improving our political Institutions,
on
nh they constantly maintain inviolate, the time-tried principles
which those institutions are based. But, the greatest vigilance
ri4 be needful to guard against any compromise of these principles,
ititTl2tflnistration should be left in their present false position.
latelyllele leadsn Inc to remark that the tendency of Parliament has
yond it ,to clothe the Executive Government with powers be-
ministrys constitutional attributions, and to entrust it *with the ad-
tion of local and subordinate details which the jealous ws-
dom of our ancestors retained in their own bands.
If this centralizing disposition be allowed to proceed, it will reu-
uer us sensible of the immediate arm of Government in our homes,
and on our hearths. Our common law and the genius of our na-
tional customs require, that matters of a local nature should, in
General, be
adjusted by municipal or parochial functionaries ame-
nable to the law. By committing them to the Executive Govern-
ment—which is above the law—and by thus increasing its power,
usage,ritrn and means of corruption, we shall incur the evils of an
•bsolmonarchy, without the check of individual responsibility.
thntnn such views and apprehensions, I have recently voted against
"
nisterial scheme of Education, and the Bill for a new Ad-
. rkratlon—by the Executive Government—of the Modern Poor-
with regard to which I and my original objections fully, and

World for E. MOSES and SON.
Master " Punch," it appears, in a late illustration
Has offered himself for the whole of the nation,
And at first it would seem most remarkably strange
That the gentleman takes such a very wide rang fe
But not when we think that E. MOSES snd SON
Go farther than candidate " Punch" ten to one
E. MOSES and SON for the whole of the wol:ld
To the Earth's widest bounds be their standard unfurl'd.
May Europe and Asia, and Africa too,
Unite in proclaiming what wonders they do.
May America's children support the grand mart,
And liberal patronage freely impart.
Fear not! Messrs. MOSES! We gladly respond;
And nothing shall sever our mutual bond.
The ships of the ocean shall daily convey
Those dresses, whose equal to house can display;
And thus shall we lastingly interchange trade,
And show that we value the efforts you've made.
You " REPRESENT US" in a very fair way,
And there's not the least fear of your gaining the day.
All the world 'a in your favour for what you have done,
And every one shouts—" Vote for MOSES and SON."
