GENERA I, ELEC I lON..

10 the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS of

the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX.

GENTLEMEN,
THE period has Arrived when, without Aban-
doning my duty to the County at large, I feel myself
justified in witArawing from a Contest which has assumed
character in which defeat is not aceonipahied with cEs-
,stace.

}lad 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 shoulAl have made an inade-
Auate return for the honour you have conferred on me by
constituting me your Representative in tour successive Par-
liaments ; but when three days only remain to conclude the
Election, and when I cannot
_possiblyotlatter myself, in that
short interval, to overcome the majority against me, a fur-
ther,persevcraare in the contest might justly merit your dis-
approbation.
I feel a't,,rood gratification in itaving been honoured with
the unprecedented number of 1959 single Votes, and in the
tear persuasion that but for an unexpected and inconsistent
coalition of persons and parties, I should have been at the
head of the Poll.

The triumpl► of my Opponents, as it is founded on no solid

•taion of principle, cannot possibly be of long duration.—
' Tiheit• political view', essentially different from each other,
are both egos!'!: in opposition to the best interests of the
kingdom, and to the sentiments of that large and respectable
portion of the Electors, whose cause I was the humble means
of rescuing in IsOfi from the thraldom of an overbearing
Faction.
To the 3078 Freeholders whose votes record their approba-
tion of my Parliamentary conduct, I beg to offer my most
grateful thanks. To those zealous friends who have assisted
ate in this arduous struggle, I feel a deep and indelible obli-
gation. Fur the County, with which I have been so long and
closely connected, I shall ever cherish sentiments of the warm-
est attachment ; and, with on anxious wish for its prosperity,
and a zealous desire at all times, and under all circumstances,
to promote its hest interests,
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your devoted and faithful Servant,
WILLIAM 11LELLISH.
