ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER.

GENTLEMEN,
CALLED on by so large and respectable a body
of the Electors of Westminster, as have done me the dis-
tinguished honour to invite me to offer myself as a candidate for
*Westminster, I can no longer, at so eventful a moment, when an
important crisis is at hand, decline to place my services at your dis-
posal, and permit myself to be put in nomination for your suffrages
on the approaching election. Stranger as lam to you, it is a duty
owe to you, as well as just to myself, that I should distinctly de-
clare my political sentiments.
Never having before offered myself to public notice as a politi-
i, I stand entirely free from any trammels of party, and altoge-
unfettered by any pledge or promise, as well as uncompromised
by any previous political line of conduct.
My previous declaration will, I hope, be a sufficient guarantee
that popular rights and privileges will be among the first objects of
tat care.
aly declaration that I consider the constitution under which we
bye the best calculated to secure the happiness of a free and inde-
Pendent people which has ever yet been devised, will, I trust con-
vince you, that while I strenuously advocate reform, I seek not to
uestroYthat while I shall anxiously desire to renovate and
improve the superstructure wherever it may show symptoms of de-
caY, I shall carefully avoid touching the foundation which has stood
the shock of ages, and on which only can permanently be secured
the Constitutional rights of the Crown, and the liberties of the people.
While I will firmly maintain an Established Church, in the full
conviction that Christianity itself, under whatever form, is strength-
ened and protected by its influence, I am persuaded a careful re-
view of our ecclesiastical institutions is essential to its prosperity,
and my best endeavours shall be used to place it upon such a foot-
ing as will conduce to peace and goodwill between it and those who
conscientiously depart from her doctrines ; and above all, my anx-
ious wish will be to establish those relations between the pastor and
his flock as will ensure that mutual affection and respect which is
too often interrupted by causes over which neither party has had
asz control.
illy fellow-countrymen, I stand here as the opponent of no man
—the prominent situation in which I am placed by a large portion
of your fellow-citizens, was unsought and unexpected by me • but
having been honoured by so marked a demonstration, and such as-
surances of success, I cannot hesitate to declare my full determina-
tion to give an opportunity to every elector of Westminster to re-
cord his sentiments at the poll.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
THOMAS COCHRANE.
45, Devonshire-street, Jan. 3, 1835.
P. S.—l extremely regret, that from the shortness of the inter-
val between this and the day of nomination, it will be impossible
for me to pay that attention which I consider due to every elector,
in personally soliciting his vote.
The Central Committee for promoting the election of Sir Thomas
Cochrane, SIT DAILY at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-
street, Charing-cross.
There is no truth whatever in the statement of a coalition with
any other Candidate—no such proposition would for a moment be
entertained.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION

OF THE COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND.

GENTLEMEN,
THE
evident policy of a Tory Government, toge-
ther with the very active exertions of those who are known
to be its friends, have created a general expectation that the for-
mation of the new Ministry will be succeeded by an immediate
Dissolution of Parliament. I hat the majority of the present
Rouse of Commons can, by any pretext, be induced to support
those who have uniformly resisted every species of Reform, is a
supposition so unreasonable, that few are disposed to entertain it.
It is not probable that the restoration of the Tories to power should
effect such a change in their principles as would justiy the confi-
dence of any sincere Reformer.
With this conviction, I offer myself as a Candidate for the distin-
guished honour of representing you in Parliament. I desire to see
the strictest economy employed in every department of the Govern-
ment, and all abuses in Church and State corrected without any
needless delay. My aversion to innovations of which the advantage
is doubtful, has, I fear, caused me to be suspected of Conservatism.
No suspicion can be more unfounded. I entertain an unalterable
hatred of the principles, and an inflexible distrust of the views of
the Conservatives. Were that party unfortunately to succeed in
cajoling this country into submission through specious offers of sa-
tisfactory Reforms, it is " clear to me as the sun at noon-day" that
in their hands the Reform Bill would soon become little more than
a dead letter : the rights of the people would be treated by them,
as they were formerly, with contempt and scorn ; and tyranny
would be directly or indirectly encouraged wherever the influence
of the Ministry should extend,
Having thus frankly avowed m y opinion of "measures and men,"
I shall take an early opportunity of ascertaining if they are likely
to receive your approbation. Should you consider them unsuited
to the present crisis, it will be for you to select some one more
Worthy of your confidence. If, on the contrary, it should appear to
You that by temperate opinions, united with firm conduct, an
Anti-Reform Administration may be effectually resisted, and
finally overcome, I shall endeavour to discharge my duty during the
approaching struggle with that zeal and integrity which becomes a
Representative of a free and enlightened nation. .

I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
T. W. BEAUMONT.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS
OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,
PERMIT us to request your early attendance at
the Poll To-morrow Morning, to record the Votes which
havetbeen so numerously and cordially tendered to us.
Our cause, Gentlemen, is in your hands—our principles are well
known to you—they are those of our King and Constitution—prin-
ciples which have made our country respected abroad and secure at
home, and which, if steadily maintained, will still uphold her at the
head of the nations of the universe.
Those who represent us as unfriendly to useful Reform commit
towards us a gross iujustioe. Whatever can be done to improve
and strengthen our excellent institutions shall, if your interests are'
committed to our care, receive our frank, honest, and hearty support.
Clamour is a new element in the discussions of Englishmen. That
with which we were assailed at the Guildhall gives no discourage-
ment to us. It is to the Poll-books that we must refer, and
them we confidently look for a triumph, not personal to ourselves or
to our interests, but to the great cause in which we are engaged.
We have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful Servants,
GEORGE LYALL.

Members, Burdett and Evans.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF WESTMIN,

STE R.

GENTLEMEN,
The Reform Act, though containing many imperfections which
ought to be removed, is nevertheless the greatest acquisition which
has been made for the people in modern times. The people may
now, by their own exertions, return their own representatives ; and
if they perform their duty in makiug a proper choice, the conti-
nuance of an arbitrary or corrupt Government, and the support of
any palpable abuse, have become absolutely impossible.
Grateful to the late Ministers for the Reform which they have
been instrumental in procuring, and knowing that time was re-
quired to prepare and mature the detailed reforms in Administra-
tion which were reasonably to be expected from the Reformed Re-
presentation, I thought it my duty to give them my general sup-
port, though I could not approve of all they did, or omitted to do ;
and believing that Lord Melbourne honestly intended to make the
public welfare the principle of his Government, I regret the loss of
his power ; but my regret was accompanied by no surprise, and by
no alarm ; by no surprise, because, although no authentic explana-
tion has yet been given, I had for some time apprehended that his
Administration contained within itself the elements of its own dis-
solution ; and by no alarm, because I felt, and now feel, assured
that the representatives of the people in the Reformed House of
Commons will not permit the present Ministers, or any other men,
to abuse the authority and power which the prerogative of the
Crown confers upon them.
Seeing the names of which the majority of the new Admnistra-
tion is composed, it cannot—in me at least--inspire confidence ;
but there is no cause to fear them, or any thing they can do; because
if they will not, or from old habits or prejudices cannot, act in pur-
suance of the national will as expressed in the House of Commons,
they cannot maintain their power, and must give place to men who
know better what their duties and the circumstances of the country
require. The time is come when the general interests ought to
prevail—nay, must prevail—over every other consideration ; when
the old factious distinctions which we struggled against in our pur-
suits of Parliamentary Reform .ought to be abolished; when the
flags and watchwords under which Whigs and Tories fought their
disgraceful battle ought to be destroyed and forgotten ; and when
all men, whatever their former views and opinions niay have been,
ought to feel and avow, that it is their duty to unite in procuring
for the people at large, in peace and tranquillity, all those fruits of
good Government which the Reform Act was intended—and is cal-
culated—to secure.

For me, I have not, and never had, any party but the People—
any political object but their welfare—nor any wish to represent
you in Parliament other than that which is founded in the hope,
that by the weight which your suffrages may give me, I may be
enabled to contribute to the public security and happiness.
I remain, Gentlemen, as ever,
Your faithful and humble servant,
St. James's-place, Jan. 3, 1835. FRANCIS BURDETT.
TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.

• GENTLEMEN,
ACCEPT my hearty and sincere thanks for the
honour you have done me in re-electing me as one of your
Representatives in the ensuing Parliament, which is the more
gratifying to me, as it is a proof of your approbation of my past
conduct in that arduous and responsible situation.
Upon the integrity and firmness of the Representatives of the
People in the next Parliament, will depend the preservation of the
advantage they have gained in favour of their rights and liberties
by the passing of the Reform Act. You have set a noble example
to all electors throughout the United Kingdom, and have laid the
foundation of an independent House of Commons, by electing as
the first returned Members of that Parliament two proved Re-
formers; and if your example is but followed by the country at
large, there can be no fear of the rights and liberties of the people
being infringed, whoever may be the Minister, or whatever party
be in power.

I have on a former occasion, as well as on the present, given you
a most explicit declaration of my political principles ; you have
approved those principles by twice electing me, it is therefore un-
necessary that I should repeat that declaration. I have only to add,
that not beingapartyman, I will support good measures, and oppose
evil ones, by whomsoever they may be introduced, without regard
to party or faction. I will yield to none in loyalty to our King and
attachment to the institutions of our country ; but I will be the
determined supporter of the people's rights and liberties, and of all
judicious reforms in Church and State, entertaining a firm belief
that upon the freedom of the people depends the stability of the
Throne, and the prosperity of the country upon the purity of its
institutions.

Identified as I am with• the Electors of Southwark, I cannot
but consider their interest as my own, and while I shall continue to
give to the important national questions which will come before
the next Parliament, the most attentive consideration, I will not be
found wanting in attention to the local interest of Southwark.
I have the honour to remain,
Brother Electors of Southwark,
Your faithful servant,
JOHN HUMPHERY.
