FINSBURY ELECTION.-
TO THE ELECTORS OF FINSBURY.
GENTLEMEN,—In consequence of the disgraceful proceed-
ings persisted in by a certain class of persons wilfully disturb-
sant
ing every-Meeting called by Sir Morton Peto, and by inces
clamour and violence preventing him from being heard, we
have resolved henceforth to decline to expose -Sir Morton
Peto and his friends to such cowardly and un-English treat-
ment, and to leave his cause entirely to the calm and unbiassed
judgment of those whose condemnation of such proceedings
we are fully conscious, be shown in a manner which will
be as honour able to them as it will be gratifying to Sir Morton
Peto. Signed, on behalf of the Committee,
ROGER CUNLIFFE, Chairman.

OITY of LONDON ELECTION, 1859.—At a
‘--/ very numerous and highly influential Meeting of the re-
quisitionists to Lord Stanley, M.P„ and Thomas Baring, Esq.,
/LP., held this day, at the London Tavern—COLERIDGE
JOHN KENNARD, Esq.. in the chair—
It was moved by George Frederick Young,' Esq., seconded by
David Ward Chapman, Esq., and resolved—
That, considering the character, talents, position, and re-
corded sentiments of Lord Stanley on all leading questions of
public interest, moral, social, and political, it is the opinion of
this meeting that he is eminently adapted to represent the
varied aid extensive interests and opinions of the metropolis
in Parliament, and that his return to the House of Commons
as one of its members would confer honour alike on the con-
stituency and the representative.
That the appeal of her Majesty to her people, in her recent
speech on proroguing Parliament, imposes it as a duty on
every patriotic and loyal subject to assist her Majesty to the
utmost of his power. in conducting the government of the
country at the present imminent crisis of public affairs, by
strengthening the hands of the Executive Government in its
efforts to maintain the honour and interests of the country,
and to preserve the peace of the world ; which great and
beneficent objects would be severely endangered by a change
of administration at this critical juncture.
That the unjustifiable attempt of the so-called Liberal
Committee to dictate to the whole body of the constituency
of London, as to the disposal of all their votes at the ap-
proaching election, calls for the prompt and vigorous resist-
ance of every independent elector, as calculated to reduce the
constituency to the position of slavish followers of a-party
faction, and candidates to that of submissive nominees,
requiring the surrender of all exercise of individual judgment,
degrading the representative system itself, and sapping. the
foundation of all independence of political action.
That' for the foregoing reasons it is the opinion of this
Meeting that loyalty, policy, and independence alike require
that a fit and proper candidate should be presented to the
electors of the City of London, for the exercise of their un-
biased choice, and that Lord Stanley is precisely the in-
dividual in whose person those great principles may be fitly
and consistently indicated.
That -Lord Stanley be therefore forthwith announced as a
candidate, and this Meeting pledges itself collectively and
individually to use every exertion to secure his return.
It was moved by C. H. Stewart, Esq., seconded by Henry H.
Gibbs, Esq., and
Resolved—That this meeting receives with sincere regret
the intimation that the engagements of Mr. Baring to his
present constituents preclude his compliance wilh the request
bf the hirgebody of requisitionists, and theAstill larger num-
ber of his fellow-citizens, who, from esteem for his private.
and confidence in his public, character, are anxious to secure
his services as one of the representatives of the City of
London in Parliament.
J. C. G. BENNETT, Secretary to the Committee for
Conducting Lord Stanley's Election.

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.
London Tavern, April 20, 1859.
TO THE ELECTORS OF LONDON.
The COMMITTEE for conducting the ELECTION of Lord
STANLEY for the CITY of LONDON invite the especial
attention of the Electors to the circumstances under which it
has been resolved to plaee his Lordship in nomination as a
candidate. It will bein the recollection of the electors that,
two years ago, an attempt was made by the so-called Liberal
Xasoclation to eject Lord John Russell from the represen-
tation. You resolved to resist such audacious dictation, and
Placed Lord John Russell in a conspicuous position on the
Poll. Electors, is that spirit extinct ? Will you who in 1857
refused the dictation of an arrogant committee, in 1859 bow
down to the commands of the same self-constituted
oligarchy
? We bring before you a man who by the bright
talents which he has employed in the service of his Sovereign
and country—by the zealous and indefatigable discharge of
Public
,duties of the highest importance—by the diligence
with which he has elevated himself to Parliamentary and
official avocations, has earned for himself at an early age a
Dime among the foremost statesmen of the time, and is looked
p to alike by Liberals and Conservatives as the future Prime
Minister of England. Such a man in such a position as that he
occupies ought not to be expected to engage in a personal can-
Irasc• (go be elected by, the unsolicited choice of the first con-
stitueay of the empire is the highest honour which his country,
could bestow on him, and would refiect equally on the constitu-
pcs; , such an honour we are.confident his Lordship will not
e ttate to accept. We are threatened with war on the Conti-
bent. Is this a time to weaken the hands of the responsible
advisers of our Gracious Sovereign ? Is such a course calulated
'nacre the prosperity of England, the peace of Europe, and
the
happiness of the world ? Electors, a great occasion is
be-
re You—show yourselves equal to it ; rally round Lord Stan-
Y Place him at the head of the poll, and you will be rewarded
ot only by the gratitude of your country but by the yet more
satisfaictory reflection that von have nobly done your duty.
JOHN KENNARD, Chairman.

J. C. S. BENNETT, Secretary to the Committee for

London Tavern, April 20, 1859.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
aENTLEMEN,—Lord. Derby having been
pelled by my exertions to dissolve Parliament, I beg to
offer myself once more as a candidate for your suffrages.
i am no logician, so pray accept autobiography for argu-
ment.

No. 20,853.

TO THE ELECTORS OF HARWICH AND DOVERCOURT.
ti_ENTLEMEN,—The united party who sup-
\-)4 ported me a few weeks ago having three times passed
public Resolutions inviting me to ask your suffrages at the
approaching General Election, I do not feel at liberty to resist
their flattering desire.
My political opinions are already well known to you ; and
they have recently been sanctioned by the decisive judgment
which the House of Commons has pronounced against the
Government. In accordan e with that judgment the conduct
of affairs will doubtless be transferred to the well-known
friends of Freedom and Reform, as soon as the new Parlia-
ment assembles.
The Petition against the late return was presented on Mon-
day, the 4th instant, without the slightest knowledge that a
dissolution was impending. Conclusive evidence was ready
to establish, upon oath, that the destruction of the polling
booth commenced before four o'clock, on the 18th of March ;
and that, on this and other grounds, the Election was illegal.
It now remains with you to show that, as you have hitherto
continued, you still will continue faithful to the principles
you nobly upheld in 1857, and which have so often ruled the
councils of the Empire.
I shall take the earliest opportunity of personally waiting
upon every Elector of the Borough.
And have the honour to be.
Gentlemen,
Your faithf seant
W. F. CAMPBELL.
London, Saturday, April 9,1859.

TO THE ELECTORS OF BERWICK-UPON-TWEED,
TWEEDMOUTH, AND SPITTAL.
GENTLEMEN,—A General Election being
about to take place, I venture to announce my inten-
tion to present myself as a candidate for the honour of repre-
senting your important constituency in Parliament.
You will naturally expect that I should offer you a candid
expression of my political views. Should you do me the
honour of returning me to Parliament, I shall endeavour to
give a general support to the Earl of Derby's Administration.
I believe that, by the present Government, our Foreign Policy
has been conducted with becoming dignity, and, at the same
time, in a conciliatory spirit, which has mainly contributed
to the maintenance of peace.
In their Domestic Legislation they have evinced a desire to
remedy abuses and to supply defects, without infringing those
ancient privileges which are indispensable to the gool work-
ing of our Parliamentary system.
I shall offer a strenuous oll,eaftion to any attempt which
may be made to conform our institutions to a French or Ame-
rican model, and shall never support those schemes of Reform
which have been advocated by Lord John Russell and Mr.
Bright, and which would at least involve the partial disfran-
chisement of your town.
Your local affairs shall always receive my anxious atten-
tion and care.
I shall use every effort to consolidate and maintain the
acknowledged rights of the freemen, more especially their
ancient franchise, of which Lord John Russell, by his Reform
Bill, endeavoured to deprive them, but which Lord Derby has
justly confirmed.
I shall have the honour of waiting upon you individually
before the election, and shall be happy to give you a fuller
explanation of my opinions than can be comprised within the
limits of a preliminary address.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servan
A.
