TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK
LADIES AND GENTWIEN,

MIIE BALLOT for 'the ELECTION of a
DIRECTOR of the EAST INDIA COMPANY hay-

it been fixed for WEDNESDAY, the Bth of June, I beg to
offer my grateful thanks for the promised support of a numerous
and influential body of Proprietors, and for the generous and
unwearied exertions of my friends, which have placed me in my
present prominent position ; and I earnestly request that I may
be honoured with an early intimation of the wishes of such of
my supporters as would prefer voting by proxy, that the neces-
Dry papers may be transmitted to them.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obliged servant,
JAMES OLIPHANT,
London, May 25, 1842. Major, late of the Madras Engineers.
Is is particular requested that any recent change of residence
may be notified to Major Oliphant's Committee, which sits
daily at the London Tavern, where communications from his
friends will be thankfully received.

TO the ELECTORS and NON-ELECTORS of the:INDE-
PENDENT BOROUGH of ASHTON-UNDER.LYNE.
GENTLEMEN,
HVINGA
been informed that your present excel-
cellent and talented representative intends to retire
from the honour of representing you in the British House of
Commons, I take the earliest opportunity of informing you,
that if such an event should take place, I intend to offer myself
as a Candidate for your suffrages. You know my political
creed, and need no lengthened exposition. You, as well as
myself,are aware that starvation stalks abroad ; penury has
usurped the place of plenty; immense wealth and extreme
pot erty most unnaturaily co-exist ; capital is idle and the
labourer is unemployed; the earth teems with abundance anti
the artizan is perishing; provisions are at famine prices and
wages have fallen ; professing Christians hear a wretched
people call for bread, and they build them more Churches ; the
pining child, of God's creating, is dying in an English cellar,
and the voice of humanity passes him over and extends its bene-
volent aid towards those of a foreign clime; distress calls aloud
for relief and is laughed and derided at; landed interest must
be protected and honest industry must be taxed ; the present
Premier has " a heart," and the labouring population have " no
bread ;" men are imprisoned for vagrancy for want of some-
thing to eat, and the same law imprisoned a Bernard Cavanagh
because he would not eat. Roby imprisons poor persons for
not going to Church, although " silver will be expected at the
doors." This may appear a quaint Address, but reflect upon
its meaning and you will easily perceive its purport. Should
my information be correct, I will visit you personally, and then
explain myself in a more detailed and lengthy form. Remember,
I am one of yourselves, who is not ashamed to own his origin
and vindicate our mutual welfare and interests.
