Iro THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT
ELEC FOES of the WEST RIDING of YORKSHIRE—not
forgetting' the "very" veryfew—NON-ELECTORS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

In responding to the hint—from the refusal of ROEBUCK to work
out a manly duty at this crisis, as the song says of England's hope,
"In the good time coming, boys," (coupled with white. feathered
DENtsoN's gout-fear of yellow-question by Orange Club adherents,
as motived by dandylion EaanLry's Catholic abuse—" bad luck to
'em"—at this pious-moment) emboldens one, of practical utility, to
he up and stirritt: in the people's behalf against a pot-and-kettle
Conservatism. A one-sided Nomination is illegal—the masses must
" now" elect.— God bless your efforts.

York-!sts ! ye shall have my hearts-core address touching my past
[aright and downstraight services by land and sea, as a " tablet" for

future usefulness, in the LEEDS and YORK papers (if thought worthy).
In the interim, understand that the undersigned " sailor" candidate
for male and female interests, in special protection, is a bachelor
of independent fortune, kin to the oldest Yorkshire " traditional "
engraft, from " No Tailleboiz's Daughter of Lancaster de Romiley
and Kendal," on De L'isle Aldborougl I'S —A.D. 1386 —Ryther Fairfax.
Cliamberlayne "in abeyance."— Vide Burke's " Landed Gentry,"
and "Hargrove's History of ' Harewool p. 162,' and Knaresborough,"
The person soliciting your suffrages is the " Captain " Ackerley, so
long-abused and calumniated for his " unflinching" scrutiny by the
London " dirty-work" press.
In conclusion of this off-hand epistle, at the eleventh hour! mark
well, that the undersigned's " mission-call as interpreter" of your
griefs must he considered a religious duty ; no drinking, no riotous
conduct, should disgrace any rational man. HIS standard of the "six-
points," the DisioN-"jack" His breast-plate distinction, the win-
ter laurel-colour of OLD "Ireland's tenureal fixity," for her EVER-
GREEN " leaf-tenant's"—denoting a universal suffrage of thought-
endowment, of all religious teachers of youth—be they CATHOLIC
or Dissenting instructors of a handycraft-trade for married life
(without a " Ragged-school name" to go to bed with), since appren-
ticeship " parochial" is suspended for foreign free-trading. His
motto—Equal justice to all—Education alike for Rich and Poor,
(Signed) CHARLES HENRY ACKERLEY,
of Lancaster-Stow-Chamberlayne.

THE CATHEDRAL and the ABBEY
OR, THE RIVAL CITIES.
we poets claim the power of giving speech
To whatsoever lies within our reach;
To us, it matters not a single jot,
Whether things be animate or not.
I mention this by way of an excuse
For what Fin now about to introduce.

'Twas twelve o'clock at night—and moon and star
Shone on the Cities crossed by Temple-bar,
When thus the Abbey of the olden time
Soliloquised aloud with midnight chime.
" Another day is measured by my hands,
And still Old Westminster unrivalled stands.
I'roud, proud am I to hear my double tower
In this great seat of splendour, wealth, and power.
What is that boasted town beyond the Bar,
C Dmpared with mine, whose scenes surpass it far ?"
" Stop," said St. Paul's, " beshrew that empty boast,
And think which all the country value= Most—
(Here the Cathedral gave another stroke,
And London echoed as the big bell spoke).—
Where's your Exchange, your Mansion-house, your Docks,
Your trading houses with their valued stocks ?
You talk of what Old Westminster discloses,
But where's yuur ' Mart of Fashion'--where's your MOSES ?
Your venerable grey old towers I guess
Have seen no match for MOSES'
LONDON DRESS.
Ah I antiquated temple ! If you saw
What thousands MOSES' Winter Garments draw;
If you beheld how fine the dresses are,
At MOSES' Mart on this side Temple-bar.
If your old tower—the home of sleepy bats—
Viewed MOSES' far-famed House for
LONDON HATS,
Hats, touching which, it may be truly said,
That MOSES' Hats are always ' at the head.'
if you beheld the
LONDON BOOTS AND SHOES,
Which thousands at the Mart of MOSES' choose ;
Could you but witness with your ancient dial
How MOSES' Boots and Shoes stand every trial;
And could you see their stock of
LONDON FURS,
In buying which, no purchaser demurs,
Furs ibr whose equal you would vainly search,
Except at MOSES' Shop, near Aldgate Church.
If from your ancient site you could but see
Their prime supplies of
LONDON HOSIERY.
If all the goods of MOSES you could view,
You would not vainly boast, s now you do ;
But viewing what the princely House discloses,
You'd ask yourself the question—` Where's my MOSES ?' "
E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
755., lower if required. The ILA calk be had on application, or sent

of by the public.
