WEST RIDING ELECTION.

TO the ELECTORS of the WEST RIDING
of YORKSHIRE.
Leeds, December 4, 1848.

Gentlemen.—l should not have addressed you again so soon
merely to report progress. My friends deem the result of our first
week's proceedings highly satisfactory, but I have such important
communications to make to you on matters of principle that I will
not waste your time by anticipating the poll. My object is to de-
serve success, oven more than to obtain it.
Imputations of rancour towards Roman Catholics were made
against me at the beginning of the contest. No one has at-
tempted to substantiate this imputation at any of the meet-
ings which I have attended. With my controversies on
purely religious topics, Electors feel they have no con-
cern. The only question with them is, have I ever proposed,
abetted, or contemplated injustice to any class of religionists? If so,
let it be proved. lam ready to demonstrate that I have used no
arguments about the contemplated endowment of the Roman Catho-
lic priests which they would not be perfectly welcome, if our position
was reversed, to use against me. Henceforward, if men of honour
think fit to assail me on this point in my absence, I am sure they
will have the manliness to try to substantiate it in my presence. I
am ready to meet them, in fair argument, on the day ;of nomina-
tion. I only ask to receive beforehand a mitten statement of the
imputation against me, and of the facts by which it is thought to be
sustained.

Failing such proof, I call upon all friends of Civil and Religious
Liberty to support me. I call on them to be as ti ae to their princi-
ples as my opponent is to his. Mr. Denison, at Halifax, on Satur-
day, declared that be should, apon principle, have voted against Mr.
Fitzwilliam, as an advccate of the endowment of the Irish priests.
Liberals of all classes and of religions, be not outdone by a Con-
servative in fidelity to your convictions. You desire equality for all
religions, and that is my desire too. I will not be a party to en-
dow the Roman Catholic church, neither will I amen.; to pay out
of the public purse additional Colonial Bishops of the Church of
England.

Mr. Denison said on Saturday, that he concurred in a system
of National Education based upon religion, but that he disap-
proved aiding the Roman Catholic schools, unless on condition
that the religion taught their should not be the religion of their
own teachers I I can only express my astonishment at such a de-
claration.

On the broad ground, then, of principle,• I appeal to the Liberal
Electors of the West Riding not to be ashamed of their colours.
Let Toryism hoist false flags to lead the unsuspic'e"s to believe that
it has changed. Let it lower the " Blue " E -alle 1, to which even
its enemies never refused the name of " true," at, I let it hold forth
the whip flag of a hollow and dishonest truce to men who wish to
he deceived ! But let those who have inherited irom their ancestors
the principles and the symbols of liberty, rally round the Orange
standard I Rest assured that, of all impolitic things, a hollow co-
alition is the most impolitic. The party which adheres to principle
is the only one which can count upon success, because it is the only
ono which deserves It.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obliged servant,
C. E. EARDLEY,

PO THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT
ELEC FOES of the WEST RIDING of YORKSHIRE—not
forgetting the 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
DENISON'S gout-fear of yellow-question by Orange Club adherents,
as motived by dandylion EARDLEY'S Catholic abuse—" bad luck to
'em"—at this pious-moment) emboldens one, of practical utility, to
be up and stirring in the people's behalf against a pot-and-kettle
Fitz-Whig-Conservatism. You may, therefore, nominate me at WAKE-
FIELD on Monday next, and God bless your laudable intentions.
York-fists !ye shall have my hearts-core address touching my past
upright and downstraight services by land and sea, as an earnest 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 " Ivo Tailleboiz's Daughter of Lancaster de Romiley
and Kendal," on De L'isle Aldborough's -A.D. 1386 —Ryther Fairfax-
Cnamberlayne "in abeyance."—vide Burke's "Landed Gentry."
The person soliciting yoar 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 I mark
well, that the undersigned's " mission-call as interpreter" of your
griefs must be considered a religious duty ; no diinking, no riotous
conduct, should disi,race any rational man. Ills standard of the."six-
points," the UNION-" Jack" His breast-plate distinction, the win-

THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the
title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's
Chlamys Paletot," the said curtailment being first suggested In the
daily correspondence of the several Agents appointed under the above
patent, and it will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the
name in full, through being more convergent to use.
It is perhaps unnecessary to observe, that although the original
title may thus be cut down, the Patentees will not hesitate duly to
forward, upon application to their Ware-rooms, 114, 116, 120, Re-
gent-street, or 22, Cornhill, the useful and elegant garments in ques-
tion, though a very blue or even a rather green Nicoll be desired.

THERE is a double use and purpose in the
NICOLL, or PATENT CHLAMYS PA LETOT, In other
words. the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat,
and will look equally well as a light raktot (usned In walking, &c.),
Indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and
fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form
into a warm winter garment, the same is transfca aied into the
Nicholl, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which is in-
corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original
manner; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble
to the wearer.

A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments in one,
viz., Three Guineas.
It has been secured from Imitation by Royal Letters Patent, and
ca-, be had in Lomion only, of Messrs. Nicoll, 114, 116, 120, Regent-
street, and 22, Cornhill.

MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will all
readily concede their patronage to the new pateute ' invention called
THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its sobeniess of colour (a
black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending
appearance, it is the only garment extant which p esents to gentle-
men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a
variable climate (the origin of colds, Sec.) To these it is said profes-
sional men are, more susceptible than others, arising from clese
study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the
morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day
cold, the Nicoll is a garment that will provide for both contingencies.
How this is effected is more fully described, with the prices, in one of
the accompanying advertisements.
