TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
IGENTLEMEN,
N compliance with the request of a numerous and
influential body among you, I announce myself a Candidate
for the honour of representing you in Parliament.
I could have wished that the approaching Election had passed
Without interruption to the quiet of the City of London by the ex-
citement of a contest ; but the imprudent activity of the Anti-Re-
formers, have rendered the unopposed re-election of your late
Members impossible.
In soliciting your support, I am aware that, long as my name
has been commercially connected with the City of London, I am
politically unknown to the great majority of the Constituency ; and
it is MY duty, as well as my inclination, to lay before you the sen-
tinsenta I profess.
Though not a party man, I am a Whig in principle ; and shall
always be found an unflinching Reformer, being prepared to carry
the spirit of Reform wherever it can be beneficially applied, in
Church and State.
I cordially approved the Reform Bill, and gave to it the best
support in my power. I cannot, however, admit that this ought
to be a final and irrevocable settlement of that' great constitutional
question. At the same time, in avowing my opinion that many
and important changes in the Bill may be found to be necessary,
I openly declare myself opposed to Annual Parliaments and Uni-
Vernal Suffrage.
. I am decidedly hostile to the policy by which the Tories have been
hitherto influenced ; and when I recollect their persevering opposi-
tion to the Reform Bill—a measure for which a debt of gratitude is
due from the nation to Earl Grey and his colleagues—when I con-
sider the component parts of Sir Robert Peel's Administration,
together with the speeches and declarations made at the Mansion-
h°nset no other course is open to methan to declare my determined
. ,
hien to the resent Ministry., • .
in prepared to exact a strict economy in all the depart-
111,eutsrof the State, I shall do my utmost to support every practi-
cal' retreat:hi-tient' consistent with the faith (1 le to the national
4'"'6,liSor.
MA firm friend of the ;Church of England, I shall be ready to
vote for all measures calculated, to remedy the ntin.ereus abuses of
that 6stabliihment." In the meantime', I do not fOrget the just
ei,,3us ~ (tithe Dissenters, and I shall iealuititlit advocate the cause of
`(tithe
aktiidstßeligious Liberty on :b
Religious Non-
A thorough Reform of the Ciraith:!•!ofireland appears to me to
be necessary and unavoidable-
Among those improvementizichich.the-etfy has a right to ex-
P?ct, there are few of greaterimportate.7.thektrze -correction of the
_i!uses now existing in many.pf nuf Mupicipal Corporations. I
"nail willingly support a' Wise atd well digeild. measure of Munici-
Pal Reform, founded on the priliehaeof 'periodical Election.
I paving been all my life connel4eil.: with the trade of London,
eel the strongest interest in its s,:eadi aiyance and prosperity—
a shall esteem it an important branch. of Try duties to study the
means of preserving and increasing the commercial eminence of
this city,
yieCwosn,fiancienogi.dminygself at present to the above short exposition of those
to which mrpOlitical conduct will be regulated, I
tb.eg to assure you that if by yo suffrAges I should obtain the dis-

In such a Crisis, I feel convinced that you will act with the firm-
", and consistency of enlightened men ; not content with having
achieved a great victory, but resolved to keep what you have gained,
123' placing it in safe custody ; in order That you may reap the full
fruits of the glorious triumph of 18:32. You will assuredly return

neously called on me, to become one of your Representatives in
Parliament. And why? Because you approved of the line of po-
litical conduct which I had, for many years, pursued. In the same
!freight path I have, up to this day, continued my course ; and you
have, twice since, mcnfirmed me in the proud station of Member for
Middlesex.
I once mere tender my humble services, to promote, to the best
1 rn7 ability, your interests, and those of the country at large, in

taat my opinions are unaltered ; and that, if again honoured with
/our confidence, my future conduct shall be, such as my past has
believing
This is the ground of my pretensions to your favour ; and,
hitherto
you staunch to those principles, in which we have
agreed, I leave the cause in your hands ; fearing no opp )-
tent, relying on your tried and steady attachment : for which
accept
,my sincere acknowledgments. I have experienced none of
Bat fickleness falsely attributed to large constituencies, it is indeed
worthy of the Electors of the Metropolitan County to set an ex-
ample of consistency to the rest of the country.
, I deem it more honourable to you, and to myself, to abstain
ir.onl arrsonal canvass ; but I shall be happy to meet any Body

rny onstituents, when, and where, they may appoint, to give
an account of my stewardship, and to assign reasons for any part of
1113' public conduct, which they may think requires explanation.
I remain, with every sentiment of gratitude and respect,

froth the influence of power and intimidation.
I do not consider the present Rate-paying Clauses in the Reform
Act as a fair criterion for enfranchisement; I am, therefore, an ad-
vocate for their Repeal.
I consider the Tithe System most pernicious, whether taken in
connection with religion, or with the interests of the country ; and
