TO the ELECTORS of the WEST-RIDING
of YORKSHIRE.
London, December 21, 1848.

Gentlemen,
The contest has terminated in favour of my opponent.
I should not do justice to my feelings if I failed to express, in the
Strongest language, the sentiments of gratitude and respect which I
Entertain towards those electors, amounting to nearly 12,000, who
have recorded their votes in my behalf.
They have been defeated—not by the Tories, but by a section of
the Whigs. Individuals professing peculiar attachment to the cause
Of Religious Liberty have thrown their weight into the scale of a
Candidate who avows his intention of refusing to Roman Catholics
benefits which he is ready to bestow on Protestants.
lien who exult in having carried Reform and Free Trade,—sooner
than support a Candidate who desired to develops both these, have
coalesced with a party by whom both were resisted till resistance
became impossible.
The course pursued has not been more inconsistent than the pleas
for it have been untenable.
Bigotry against Roman Catholics has been attributed to me. The
name persons consider it venial in Mr. Denison to legislate against
Roman Catholic rights, and unpardonable in Sir Culling Eardley to
controvert Roman Catholic tenets ! It is an offence against charity
to debate the great and glorious problems of the sixteenth century
is the temper and spirit of the nineteenth ; but it is compa-
ratively innocent to conduct the legislation of the nineteenth cen-
tury after the narrow and exclusive fashion of the sixteenth I Such
persons have yet to learn the real value not only of religious liberty,
but of religion itself. The man who really loves freedom could
never bring himself to vote against it, or even to be neutral, when it
is at stake. 'rho man who really prizes religion could never punish
another man for zeal, however apparently excessive, in the cause
Of truth.
It has been objected to me that I am not a Yorkshireman. A re-
striction which no gentleman would adopt in the selection of a con-
fidential or legal agent, has been urged as paramount in electing a
Representative.
It has been insisted that I am opposed to the connexion of Church
and State. Why ! so is every Dissenter. Te avow such a test is
simply to ostracise Dissenters—a course consistent in Tories, but in-
explicable in Whigs. I have repeatedly stated my belief that public
opinion is not ripe for the separation,—an event which can never be
consummated so long as the Establishment retains its hold on the
affections of the people.
Through sash excuses, the real fact is transparent. The Whigs
alluded to are afraid of the spirit of libery which they have evoked,
and have made up their minds to prefer finality to progress.
Let ns hope that there a-e those in their ranks who love the
popular cause too well not to rejoin it. It is not too late. Twelve
thousand Yorkshiremen will hail them as leaders if they return. Let
them only once and for ever abandon the miserable trickery of trying
to govern Ireland by subsidising the priests. Not twelve, but twenty.
Six thousand Yorkshire electors are agreed upon this ; and that pha-
lanx represents a correeponding feeling in all the constituencies of
this country. Let the Whigs trust the people ! Let them do justice
.to their intelligence—to their grievances—to their claims !An Eng-
lish gentleman who confides in his countrymen need never be afraid
of being supplanted by demagogues. The people will defer to him
In matters of detail if they only see that he loves them and treats
them with respect.
But of this the landed gentry in Yorkshire may rest assured—if
the popular party do not find leaders in their own county, they will
leek them elsewhere.
• Electors you will pardon me for dwelling so long on these par-
• tieulars. The circumstances of the election have been so peculiar,
and the times in which we live are so critical, that I could not con-
. tent myself with a common-place Address of Thanks. I hope that
your proceedings have contributed to the formation, previouslycorn-
- anenced, of a graft National Liberal Party, and that even amongst
- the Men who now-ImM the reins of Government, there will be some
who will regard the West hiding contest as replete both with in-
• struction and warning.
As regards myself, I retire from the arena of public conflict, grate-
ful to Him who has enabled me to dispense some Seeds of Truth, and
who now permits me to return to a peaceful. hone which I reluc-
tantly quitted at the call of duty.
I carry with me the delightful conviction that I have formed
friendships which will fellow use into private life, and that I possess
the sympathy and regard of many who were compelled, on this occa-
Sion, to retest me their votes.
I remain, tlentlemen,
Your obedient and obliged Servant,
C. E. EARDLEY.

CEIRISTAIAS FESTIVITIES.
The gaiety that reigns supreme at the social re-unions of this
ptriod of the year induces the fair and youthful to be more than usu-
ally desirous of shining in personal attraction, while the rick luxuri-
aat tress, the clear and transparent complexion, and the pearly sot
of teeth form admirable trophies of the ine.timable virtues of
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
ROWL kNDS' KALYDOR,

The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, and their general use
by the aristocracy and the elite of fashion, together with the confir-
mation by experience of the infallible efficacy of these creative and
renovating specifics, have characterised them with perfection, and
given them azelebrity unparalleled.
As presents for both sexes none can be more recommendatory, or

0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
A breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
bat more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
Power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
With time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
►hen union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulflimeni. of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract-asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It Is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
ILstituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable ! Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and neon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

SELF-PRESERVATION.
illustrated. by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observe-
teat OIL the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
Solitary habits, excesses, or infection.
By SAMUEL LA'MEIIT, M.D.,
Doctor if Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University if
Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
midi neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.
REVIEW OF THE WORE.

La'Mert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
Scenes is the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
late which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before as
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice brea.Ming In tiles*,
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."
