GENTLEMEN,—
lAndidate for the honour of sup-
beg to offer myself as a C
Representation occasioned by the
plying the Vacanc in your
,e respected Member.
lamented Death of your let
I take this step in the cc ,nviction that my political opinions
are in accordance with t nose of the great majority of the
Constituency.
I regret that the questi on of Reform has once more been
postponed. It must soon 'again occupy the attention of
Parliament.
In order that the jus
expectations of the people on this
subject may be satisf„d
the Franchise must be substantially
extended ; and deeing ,„.
towns must yield the right of repre-
r.,y
sel
ntatioinn to new And rising seats of popular industry.
am favo'dr of the Ballot for I. consider that no man
ought to int',rfere with another in the exercise of the
Franchise.
The rer,
nt rejection, by the House of Lords, of the Bill for
the 41`,01ition of the Paper Duties I hold to be directly op-
Pose'd, if not to the letter, at least to the spirit, of Constitu-
tic,nal precedent.
I am in favour of the Abolition of Murcia-rates.
I trust that the Ministry will not endeavour to I.etain,
against the judgment of their best supporters, that most
objectionable clause in the Census TSIII, requiring Statement
of Religious Opinion.
flifra7ed. in the active pur-
-1 have for many years, whilst
suits of a business life, devoted eauch tale
time to aid in the
efforts that have been made 'co improve the sanitary and
moral condition of the workin.gcp,....__,
asses, and to spread Educa-
tion among all sections "
'7,ommunity. Now that I have
greater leisure, I should, _ I:lmmured by your choice, endea-
vour to promote these ml'4 tihnilar objects in the wider sphere
and with the larger in..'ll.l,,nce of a Member of the Legisla-
ture.
I would support 4he 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 considerations for our safety fl•em fearle-sly avow-
ing their sympathy with the nations now heroically str.ving
lo attain that constitutional freedom which we justly regard
as our best safeguard, azd the mainspring of our national
Progress.
Your Local IntereAs, 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
Mow, engage public attention.
I have the honour to be,

Gentle'men,
Your faithful servant,
FREDERICK D. GOLDSMID.
