TO THE ELpCTORS
OF

BRIGHTON.
GENTLEMEN,— •
I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of sup-
plying the Vacancy in your Representation occasioned by the
lamented Death of your late respected Member.
I take this step in the conviction that my political opinions
are in accordance with those of the great majority of the
Constituency.
I regret that the question of Reform has once more been
postponed. It mnst soon again occupy the attention of
Parliament.
In order that the Suit expectations of the people on this
subject may be satisfied, the Franchise must be substantially
extended ; and deoaying.towns must yield the right of repre-
sentation to new and rising seats of popular industry.
I am in favour of the Ballot : for I consider that no man
ought to interfere with another in the exercise of the
Franchise.
The recent rejection, by the House of Lords, of the Bill for
the Abolition of the Paper Duties I hold to be directly op-
posed, if not to the letter, at least to the spirit, of Constitu-
ional precedent.
I am in favour of the Abolition of Churchorates.
I trust that the Ministry will not endeavour to retain,
against the judgment of their best supporters, that most
objectionable clause in the Census Bill, requiring a Statement
of Religious Opinion.
I have for many years, whilst engaged in the active pur-
suits of a business life, devoted much of my time to aid in the
efforts that have been made to improve the sanitary and
moral condition of the working classes, and to spread Educa-
tion among all seciions of the community. Now that I have
greater leisure, I should, if honoured by your choice, endea-
vour to promote these and similar objects in the wider sphere
and with the larger influence of a Member of the Legisla-
ture.
I would support the strictest economy in our Public Ex-
penditure ; but it should be consistent with and tend to the
thorough efficiency of our forces by sea and land ; indeed,
I think it unworthy of the position occupied by England in
the councils of the world that our Statesmen should be de-
barred by consideration's for our safety from fearlessly avow-
ing their sympathy with the nations now heroically striving
to attain that constitutional freedom which we justly regard
as our best safeguard, and- the mainspring of our national
progress.
Your Local Interests, which are, in fact, from the connec-
tion of my family with your borough, so nearly identified
with my own, would ever command my watchful attention.
I shall take the earliest opportunity of meeting you per-
sonally, and can then enter more fully into the topics that
now engage public attention.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
FREDERICK D. GOLDSMID.
