TO THE ELECTORS OF COLCHESTER.
IGENTLEMEN,
HAVE canvassed your entire body with the mi-
nutest care, and have received the most unetpliooo,-.11 promises
r'f support from a majority of the registered electors, embracing of
Undivided votes well nigh one third of your entire number (1,100 ;
et such is the compactness of the confederacy formed against me
y the enemies of all reform, and the consequent crossing tt
votes, that an adequate number can only be secured by sacrifices of
Which in past times I have made too many. Thus circumstanced,
It becomes my duty to announce that I am no longer a candidate for
,the renewal of our political relations, if my estimation of
you hi-
tentions is too timid, the con-teflon is in your hands.
I have never con( aled my aversion to the Ballot, as a process
Itufa.rourable to the integrity of personal character—but we must, deal with men and things as we find them, and until they are mate-
rially improved, I avow myself a reluctant convert to the eoiiViction
that there is no security against the oppression and cowardly me-
naces of the higher elioses, but in tlie protection which secresy
tlifords. Under the guardianship of the Ballot, my return would
be pre-eminently triumphant. But this is not the only change
Which must precede good goverament. The House of Con:mons
is indeed reformed, but even there; to render the representative
system perfect, Parliaments must be sho"ter in legrt duration, and
tne constituent body materially enlarged. Yet even all this will
avail little while the House of Peers remains as it is. The struggle
ssiow opening, involving this problem, whether the People, as`the
source of political power, shall govern themselves through their
freely chosen organs, or wheiher this great nation is to live and
Thove and have its being at the capricious will of an hereditary
Qigarchy. Be assured There is no alternative between a Ile:orineil
Uouse of Peers and a revolutioa. In that struggle, come when it
may, and in whatever shape. I sl-all stand, and, if need be, fa'l with
Thy order—the people. The King's Ministers are the avowed creatures
of this hereditary usurpation, and your contemplated representatives
are the appropriate abettors of their designs. Whatever changes
await our country, you will have no just cause of complaint; for you
do not sin without knowledge. I challenge any one of your body
to select a single tnea.ureof reform; either in church or state, which
has not received from my opponents, Sir Henry Smyth and Mr.
Ilk:hard Sanderson, (one of whom is, and the ot'Aer has been, your
representative,) all the opposition a silent vote can give. It may
be some comfort to the champions of corruption to know that I am
.Chiefly indebted for the present opposition, to the galling motion I
telt it my duty to make for a revision of the infamous list of pen-
sioners. That motion annoyed the Court, and enclange-ed a Cabinet
Who were protected f..om defeat by the artful intervention of men
who now made up the King's Government —Mr. Sanderson, by his
,av°te, swelling the inglorious majority.
tioln retiritT, from your service, after an anxious and costly connec-
of more than twenty years, I can record with proud srtisfaction
the cheering fact, that I have never uttered a sentiment nor given a
vote which, upon reflection, I desire to retract.
Having passed m y youth in your tn, and the meridian of m
4° in your service, it was the first desirow e of my heart to have ended Illy days as your Representative ; but it is ordered otherwise, and I
am content and grateful.
That peace may abide within your ancient walls, and happiness be
the lot of you all, is the ardent prayer of,
Your faithful friend and servant,
Colchester, Dec. 18, 1834. D. W. HARVEY.

'0 THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF LEI-
CESTER.
TGENTLEMEN,
HE Dissolution of Parliament being daily ex-
pected, I feel called upon, as one of your present Rpresen-
tatives, to announce my intentions with reference to that event;
Particularly as a Gentleman has declared himself a Candidate for
tour Representation, in the performance of what he conceives to
an absolute duty both to this County and the Country at large.
I also, Gentlemen, conceive that I have an absolute duty to per-
form of the same description. I have considered it my duty in the
first place, to ascertain whether the Gentlemen whose invitation
rad first drawn me from private life, would be disposed to claim the
eenewal of my humble services. Having received the most un-
equivocal expression of their wishes on that subject, I feel bound to
maintain the honourable position of a Candidate for your suffrages,
t° Which I am thus called for the second time, with all the energy
Which I am capable.
You are told that the question for your decision is, whether the
Constitution in Church and State is to stand or fall—No, Gentle-
f4eu, this is not the question—it is whether those necessary Re-
orrn shall be carried into full effect, or suddenly arrested, without
hich the Institutions of the Country are not only inefficient for
heir legitimate purposes, but are rendered subservient to the cause
15f bad Government,
lam aware the efforts made throughout the County to per-
de the the Agriculturists that their interests are identified with the
ascendancy of Toryism. The present Corn Laws are, according to
dt Party, the perfection of legislation. Does Agriculture prosper
under them ? It is my opinion that a moderate fixed duty on fo-
t.eigu corn, can alone ensure steady and reasonable prices ; that opi-
-14:41 I expressed on a former occasion, and I have voted accordingly
1,4 Parliament. As to future legislation for the relief of Agricul-
!o re, what is the obvious measure which suggests itself to every
eartner ? The Repeal of the Malt Tax. For this I have voted,
and of course should do so again. The new Chancellor of the Ex-
ehoquer, Sir Robert Peel, whose business it will be to regulate such
matters, not only voted against it, but expressed his conviction that
the revenue could not spare the amount ; and certainly it could not,
iicoording to the extravagant ideas of the party now in office ;—in
let, professing as they do to consider that the establishments of the
country are already reduced below the point of safety, I do not see
is
rv, they can carry on the Government without the imposition of
fresh Taxes.

The old watchword of the Constitution in danger has been
founded, but you have had too many unaccomplished prophecies of
this sort to feel any apprehension of such a catastrophe. There
Will be "no Revolution," Gentlemen, save in the blighted hopes of
the Tories, and no " Convulsive Struggles " save those of an expir-
ing Faction.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your very faithful Servant,
Whatton House n EDWARD DAWSON. 18, 1834.

1834 ; "ern in the Poultry, on Friday, the 19th day of December,

to HENRY WAYMOUTH, Esq., in the Chair;
i..',fi ,Isolvedy—That this Deputation cordially approves of esolutions of the United Committee of Protestant Dissenters
ndon, passed on the 18th ult. ;
That while this Committee bows to the exercise of the Royal
rerogative, they have learnt with feelings of unfeigned and pro-
nd regret, the sudden dismissal from his Majesty's councils of his
confdential advisers ; entertaining, as they do, a cordial appro-
p74on of the general measures of their Administration, and confid-
gp their prineiples as the sincere friends of Civil and Religious
• m.
That while this Committee cannot but express their disappoint-
terit and sorrow that the just claims of Protestant Dissenters have
gltilerto been postponed, they are convinced that such delay on the
Part of his Majesty's late Government arose chiefly from the ob-
Vstretions to which they were subject, both from ecclesiastical and
iti.eal opponents. The regret which this Committee feels at the
,assurance,
of the late Administration is also greatly aggravated by
that it has occurred at a moment when its members
vrcl.e Preparing means of redress for the chief practical grievances of
Dissenters complain.
b.,: That in the probable event of a General Election, this Com-
0711tee confidently anticipates from the Protestant Dissenters through-
. that Empire the most decided and uncompromising opposition to
"-‘ Political party who have avowed themselves the unflinching
'vents of their interests, and whose speeches and votes on the
t.:113:or the admission of Dissenters to the Universities ought never
Z, forgotten ; and in the event of such election this Committee
ehes also on all classes of Dissenters for the immediate adoption of
Ilapai!ures best calculated to insure the return as Representatives to
fti',„.lament of men liberal and enlightened in their views, the tried
t-"`'S of religious liberty, national improvement, and universal
Nl' That this Committee pledges itself to persevere in seeking the
