TO THE ELECThRS OF SOUTH LAN-,
CASHIRE.
Richmond Hill, Liverpool, Ist July, 1846.
Gentlemen,—l hasten to acknowledge the receipt of a requiAtion,
signed by more than nine thousand electors of South Lancashire, in-
viting Me to become a candidate for the seat now vacant by the
elevation of Lord Francis Egerton to the peerage.
To represent a constituency distinguished by its numbers, its In-
%Wry, and its intelligence, and by its great influence on the cha-
racter and policy of the nation, I esteem one of the highest honours
to Which a man may attain.
With feelings of the greatest pleasure I answer your call, and offer
Myself as a candidate for your suffrages.
._When I addressed you at the period of the election in the Spring of
15
.44, I avowed myself the strenuous advocate of perfect freedom of
Fae.—lstated that my experience, as a merchant, enabled me to say
that it was a vital question; that it involved the freedom, the pros-
perity, and, probably, the peace of the country.
Since that time
I have to the best of my ability constantly sup-
ported the principles I then avowed, and it will be a continual
eozurce of gratification to me to reflect that I have given my humble
ertions in aid of the Free-traders of Englabel, by whose reasoning,
energy, and prudence, the most eminent public men have been con-
verted, the interests of classes and the prejudices of party have been
overthrown, and one of the greatest, the wisest, and I hope one of the
most enduring, reforms has been peacefully achieved.
I ant well aware that other important measures will shortly engage
tPoytion of that public attention which has la'ely been almost ex-
clusivelyoir concentrated upon the question of Free Trade. The state
Ireland is a cause of much anxiety ; Ireland must he wisely amid
m-"lnanely governed, and we must diligently seek and promptly apply
e true remedies for the grievances of which that country has long
111 plained. She must no longer with justice refer to the inequality
of either her Parliamentary or her Municipal Franchise ; in fact,
Ireland must be governed as if no sea were between us.
Though much has been gained our labours will not terminate until
!lie last fetter upon commerce and industry shall have been removed.
Our oPPonents are powerful and fertile in resources, and it is possible
that some of them may not be over scrupulous as to the means of
arresting our progress. Vigilance, the price of freedom, continues
to be the first duty of the Representatives of the People. However
deficient I may be in ability, I pledge myself zealously and con-
stantly to advocate your interests, which are those of the country
and of mankind.
Above all things, we must promote the intellectual progress of the
People, and so cJilsoliclate the triumphs of industry, as we Nvidely
diffuse the blessings of a sound education. We shall thus, I hope,
be enabled, at no distant period, whilst we improve the condition of
the People of England, to set an example to the world of the right
Use Of power and wealth in the extension of freedom and the preser-
vation of peace.—l have the honour to be, your faithful servant,
WILLIAM BROWN.
