TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF NORTHUMBERLAND.
GienTt.a.atatr, . • •
THE PARLIAMENT-is now upon the eve of
its DISSOLUTION, and I shall immediately leave town
and return among you.
It gives me great satisfaction that in the short period which
has elapsed since I left the County, I have had an opportunity of
proving to you my determination, if I have again the honour of
being returned by you to Parliament, to discharge my duty with
1014 integrity and independence.
I have pledged myself in the House of Commons, to bring
before the next Parliament the Subject of 'a Petition, which has
been entrusted to me, and I renew that pledge to you, in the
conviction that my Constituents are never indifferent to what
appears to be an-Attack upon the Liberty of the Subject.
The language of confidence is so familiar to all Candidates, and
is so often employed by them to promote, rather than declare, their
success, that I shall content myself with thanking you most
sincerely and warmly for the great encouragement which you have
given me to expect a complete triumph at the approaching Elec-
tion ; and with an. assurance that I shall not abandon that hope
while a-Freeholder remains utipolled in the County.
• I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,-

Your grateful and devoted Servant,
THOMAS WENTWORTH REAUbIONT.
24, Sala James's-place, May 30, 1826.

TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREEHOLDERS,
OF THE COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND.
GKNTLEMEN,
IT being generally understood that ,Parliament will
be dissolved in a few days, I beg once more to tender you
my, most grateful thanks for the very flattering manner in which
youseceived me, on my recent canvass for the high honoOr of again
becoming one of your Representatives in Parliament. The short
period I have held that diatinguial►ed situation, has I am aware,
afforded me little occasion of proving to the comity how far I am a
tit person to be entrusted with the exercise of the important
duties of That honourable station. I have, however, had °ppm....
tunities of declaring to you publicly my political principles, anti it
is encouraging and gratifying to me to know that the principles
I have hitherto maintained, anti . shall continue to maintain,
are in perftict unison with those of a great majority of the
county. ,Tho Ugh I am decidedly adverse to granting further
political power to the Roman Catholics, I shall ever be an advo-
cate tin- religious toleration in its utmost latitude. lam an enemy
to slavery wherever and in whatever shape it may exist, and n►y
humble endeavours shall not be wanting to obtain its speedy and
total abolit►on in all parts of the British dominions.
If,, by ymir independent suffrages, I shall he again placed in the
enviable situation to which it is my utmost ambition to aspire, I
beg yoit to be assured I will zealously endeavour to perform its
duties, anti especially to watch over and protect the local interests
of my native county.
I have the honour to remain, with unfeigned gratitude and
isspect, Gentlemen,
Your devoted and much obliged servant,
MATTHEW BELL.
