GENTLEMEN,
T.NEVER addtessM myself to any Description of
my Fellow Subjcels with emotions so lively and grateful
as I.liol,vdo,to you.

lArliciteal7Pon the urgent Invitation I received from
some of the most respectable of your Freemen, and conipare
it with the zeal and earnestness with which ,you have ac-
tually. supported me during a Poll df fodr Days (oh the first
of which my Opponents gained a Majority cf iso Votes,, by
my-being finable to appear till a,late houro,l the Hustings, in
consequence of Fatigue and Illness), I withdraw myself
front the Pursuit, under no impression but the sense of Duty
I feel, in discontinuing to involve you - irr an ineffeaual
Struggle. _

fitii",clearly as you have proved to me that-I owe my Dis-
appointment to no deficiency of Public-Spirit, but to the
circumstance of my having appeared among you at so very
late a period, 1. retire with sentiments of Esteem that muss
be indelibly impressed, on my heart for the .freemen of
Leicester, fully assured, that should any circumstance ever
again affOrd me an opportunity of, presenting` myself for
your Choice, your zeal, firmness, and distinguished attach-
ment, must inevitably obtain me the Honor I so much 'aspire
to—of being' your Representative in Parliament; •
Impressed with these opinions, i quit you for the presen't
with the sincerest feelings of Gratitude, for the Zeal and at.-
fedion you have Manifested
,towards me, requesting you will
do me the justice to believe, that, as it will be the pride, so
it shall be the uniform endeavour of my Life; to merit a con-
tinuance of those generous Sentiments. Could any feelings
receive any increase of satisfaCtion, it would arise from .the
marked approbation bestowed on my Condudf, not only by
the whole Court, but so handsomtly expressed by the Can-
didatesttemselves, and all their-Friends.

I have the I lonour to pe,
Gentlemen,„
Your obliged and devoted bumble Servant,

GENTLEMEN,
V‘77 E take the earliest opportunity of returning
you our.warmest Thanks, for the firm and disinte-
rested Support you have given us during our late most ar-
duous Contest. Your free, unbiassed, unbribed exertions,
have placed us in our present most honourable Situation.—
The old united Interest, upon which we offered you on:Ser-
vices, has finally prev..dled.
Be assured, in return for the high 'Obligation we owe you,
that we will always support, to the utmost °four power, the
Freedom, the 1 nterest, and the Independence of the Borough

We have the Honour to remain, Gentlemen,

of GRANTHAM.

CEkTLEMEN,
fiREATLY as I regret the event.of the pre,
sent Contest, inasmuch as it may deprive me for a
time of the Honor and - Satisfaaion of representing that
Town, for which I bear the most merited and exclusive
-esteem- and regard, it is no small consolation to me, that
out of 840 Eledors•who'haVe polled, near 416 have honoured
me with their 'Suffrages. .1 proudly .have to boast, that
neither upon my Canvass nor at any time Since, has the most
remote or indited undue influence, been used by me or any of
my Fiiends, to seduce a single'Freeman from his honourable-
engagement to my Opponents. But as I wished.to establish
and support, so I spurned every idea of breakiug in upon the
uncontrouled, unbiassed, and . free :inclinations; rights . and
privileges of the Eledors of Grantham.
- To you, Gentlemen,- whoM no unconstitutional- influence
could withdrani tram the uncontrouled freedom of voting
(and to the exercise of such influence alone, do 'I attribute
the nominal majority upon the Poll against me), I heel a,
Gratitude beyond the power of words to express. • •
To those, who on this occasion, haVe sacrificed the .free-
dom of their Voice to the pressure of their Circumstances, I
tender my sincere acknowledgments for their good Wishes;
I look forward with confidence to the happiness of seeing
them quicklyand permanently placed in the enviable situa-
tion of being able to exercise the -first right- of an English-
man, without drawing down upon themselves di-families, the
Itand'of harshness, oppression, or persecution.
I am, Gentlemen,
With gratitude and respect,
'Your roach obliged SCrvant, •

GENERAL ELEC I lON.

To tlieG ENTLENIENr,ICL_ERG4I,itrid_F REETIOLDERS`

of the COUNTY of C,Mlittl DC E.

GENTLEMEN, , •
DERMIT me to ofFer you my grateful Acknow.
ii ledgnients tor. the high Honour you have now,-for,
fourth time, conferred upon me, .hy electing me one of your
RepresentativeS in Parliament. The generous, zealous, re_
spedable and _poWerful.support I have received, under cir-
cumstances of peculiar embarrassment (arising frojn a most
alive CenVaSs carried on by other Candidates, for above six
weeks before it was possible, for me, consistently with my
public duty, to absent myself from my place in Parliament);
has made an impression on my mind, which can never Ea
ettked.—Had it been pradicable for me to have commenced
toy own Canvass at an earlierrperiod, I am persuaded that
the proportion of numbers on the Sheriffs Books would have
been Materially varied in my favour; and, perhape some
apology may be due to numerous Friends of mine in distant
parts of the Country, to whom no particular applications
were made for their personal attendance at the Eledion. Sa-
tisfied with ascertaining very early on the first day, that the
genuine sense of a great majority of the most respedable Free-
holders remained unalterably in my favour, -1 cquld not re.:
concile it to myself to trouble those at a -great distance tti
leave their domestic concerns, in order unnecessarily to
crease my numbers at the cloSt: of the Poll.
The result of the contest has incontrovertibly proved, that
the 'real Electors of Cambridgeshire are not to be prevaile4
upon to abandon an old and- faithful Servant by artful and
malicious miirepreSentatibns and falsehoods-of various kindsi
induStriOusly propagated to serve the ciniseot a Party which
is hostile to Me and my family, for mother reason that I know
of, than because we have always endeavoured to .suppo.t the
Cause of our Country, and of the British Cnustiturion;
against the malignant efforts of Foreign and Domestic Elia-
mica. • Entirely attached by education and experience to the
invaluable and unequalled System of Civil and Rellijo
Liberty which has been for ages, under the blessing of Pr -
vidence; the fdtmdatiOn and support of tins great Nation; anti
the immediate cause of its- prosperity and power, I Must
ever; while 'life and underSranding remain to me, continue
devoted to its defence and• preservation. Equally attached
by bittli;• habit; wifeidion, and gratitude to the County of
Canibridge and Ls/e'of- Ely, I shall consider it as my bowls
den duty to exert myself• to the utmost for the maintenance
and improvement of its internal welfare, by the-moA sedu-
loui-and impartial attention to its variousandimpartant local
and provincial concerns.
I have the Honour to,be, with the highest respeB,
Gentlemen,
Your much obliged and faithful Ser7ant,
C. YORKE.
