141 the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS of
the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX.

GENTLEMEN,
period has arrived when, without aban-
doning my duty to the County at large, I feel myself
justified in withdrawing from a Contest which has assumed
a character in' which defeat is not accompanied with dis-
grace.

Had I not afforded you the fullest opportunity to come for-
Ward in support of those political principles which it has ever
been my pride to maintain, I should have made an inade-
quate return for the honour you have conferred on me by
constituting. me your Representative in four successive Par-
liaments; but when ihrec days only remain to conclude the
Election, and whca I cannot possibly flatter myself, in that
short interval, to overcome the majority agalAst me, a fur-
ther perseverance in the Contest might justly merit your
approbation.

1 feel a proud gratification in having been honoured with
the unprecedented number of 19.59 single Votes, and in the
clear persuasion that but for an unexpected.and inconsistent
coalition of persons and parties, I should have been at the
Itemd of the Poll.

The triumph of my Opponents, as it is founded on no solid
union of principle, cannot: possibly be of long duration.—
Their political views, essentially. Alifferent from each other,
are both egnally_in- oPlloitioit: :to the best interests of the
sentiieitii.of that large and respectable
g4rtinn'of the Electors, whose cruise I was the humble meal's
of rescuing in tBO6 from the thraldom of art overbearing
Faction.

To the 3073 Freeholders whose rotes record their approba-
tion of my Parliamentary conduct, I beg to offer my most
Oatefnl thanks. To those zealous friends who have assisted
atein this arduous struggle, I feel a deep and indelible
Fur the Count 3:, with which 1 have been so Ion?: and
otiosely conoected, I shall ever cherish sentiments of the warm
ast attachment ; and, witil an anxious wish for its prosperity,
and a zealous desire at all',times, and under all circumstances,
to-promote its best interests,

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your devoted and faithful Servant,
WILLIAM MELLISH.
