TO THE ZI,ECTOES Cr pr:s7.B-c-RY,

CENTLEMEN,—A numerous and influential
section of your body has done me the honour to invite
me to become a candidate for Finsbury.
Of several applications of the same kind which have reached 1
me, that from Finsbury Is in every way the most gratifying to
my feelings, and is the one to which I am the most willing to
respond.
As an ardent Liberal—a consistent supporter of the rights
of conscience—as a large employer of labour—and as a consi-
derable proprietor within the borough, I feel that I have
peculiar ties and sympathies with both the electors and non-
electors of Finsbury, which it is a pleasure to me to find reci-
procated.
Through the eight years during which I represented in the
House of Commons a large and influential, and a most liberal
constituency, I may confidently point to' my votes as having
been invariably given on the side of progress, and when under
peculiar circumstances I withdrew for an interval from politics,
I was gratified with the assurance that my old constituents
appreciated and approved my Parliamentary exertions.
Should you place me in the position of a representative of
your large and enlightened borough, the best services of a life,
at no period inactive, shall be devoted to the discharge of
duties of which I entertain a full sense of the responsibility.
Upon the great question on which Parliament dissolved I
should endeavour to represent the just claims of Finsbury and
t the other metropolitan districts to a larger share in the re-
presentation.
No one knows better than myself the industry and intelli-
gence, and none more fully appreciates the claims and deserts
of the working classes. I shall always strive to promote their
social advancement, and in extending, to them the franchise I
should desire, by means of the Ballot, to secure for them the
free exercise of their right to vote.
My views on religious questions are all in favour of the
largest degree of freedom to every denomination. On the
subject of Church-rates I need only refer to my votes.
I hope to have early opportunities of addressing you in your
several localities, of explaining myself fully on those topics
which are not within the limits of an address, and of respond-
ing candidly to any inquiries you may make of me.
In the meantime, hoping for yourfavourable consideration,
I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
Your very obedient and faithful servant,
S. MORTON PETO.

selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in tie
Kingdom.

Instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, wil_
