LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1858.

TO TIIE ELEC TOR 3 OF THE COUNTY OF HERTFORD.
OENILEMEN,
IL E R Majesty having been giaciously pleased to
13, at-Poona me one of her Mejeety'a Secretaries of State,'iny
sent In revilement is vacated, and I appeal to you for a renewal of
that conlblefice with which you have previonl y honoured me.
They who know me be t are aware how little, at any time of life,
the desire of office has actuated me in the part I hale taken in public
Wain. I accept office now with a profound sense of its re ponsi -
bilitles, and that sincere diffidence which impels men to supply .by
assiduity and labour their defects in ability and experience.
T ask from ytln what the government to which I have the
-honour
to belong asks from the country—a fair trial.
The ofd landmarks of party are. in much, effactd : the, old battle
erica of party few thoughtful men will care to revive. Intelligent
persons on all sides fled that the settlement of questions on which
they formerly differed his clearcd from obscurity many points in
which they can agree :—Abroad, liberty, befriended without tacrifice
of peace; alliances secured wihout loss of honour; where war is
inevitable, English vigoar ; Where victory is achitved, English
mercy. In domestic
policy, judicious economy, industrial develop-
ment,
and those practical reforms by which the elastie nature of
free institutions accommodates itself to the progressive intelligence
of a loyal people.
For myself, I hold with one of the ablest statesmen of the last cen-
tury, that " there is no worthier attribute of a Bri Usti- Minister Than
a fearless confidence in the generous temper and good sense of- his
countrymen."
It Isnot always at its formation that the strength or weakness of
a government is clearly ascertained. Uovernments become wrong
In proportion to their success in establishing sympathy with public
opinion. And if I ask you to ratify by your suffrages the distinction
which our Sovereign has been graciously pleased to confer upon me,
it is with the conscientious belief that I join the administration of
which it is the earnest desire to prove that a Conservative policy is
never more completely realised than when employed in promoting
throughout all the dominions, and among alt the subjects of her
Majesty, the contentment and prosperity which are the surest gua-
rantees for the maintenance of law and the stability of order.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your attached and faithful servant,
EDIV*RD LYTTON BLILIVER.
