TO the HONEST ELECTORS of IPSWICH.
ELECTORS !
The Whig Committee have passed judgment on the Tories,
whom you elected to be your Representatives.
The pure and modest Whigs, who petitioned against the
Tories, for having been guilty of bribery and treating, have
not dared to claim the seats.
It is known to every man in Ipswich that the Whigs com-
mitted the same sort of crimes which have displaced the Tories;
and it is publicly stated that the Whigs were more generous in
scattering their favours than the Tories.
Perhaps yon will have another Election : if so, you will want
a pair of Candidates.
The Lawyers, Agents, and all the other parties, who have an
interest in selling or bartering you, are now looking out for a
pair of Whigs and also a pair of Tories. The Lawyers or
Agents of Tories and Whigs will promise your votes, and as
eating an. 4 drieking are now admitted to be illegal, you cannot
be bought in this way.
The cunning slave dealers will find out some other way to
purchase all who are willing to sell their birthright. if is
just possible that it will be done at the next election with hard
money and flimsy promites.
Now, the difficulty with the Lawyers and Agents will be, to
find a brace of Tories who will speculate.
Whigs and Whiggery are at an end; there are not two men
to be found in the United Kingdom, who possess common
sense, who will dare to acknowledge themselves Whigs of the
present race of Whigs. It must 'be old Whigs with new
skins. Perhaps they may fight under the name of Liberals,
which is the last edition of Whiggery.
Now, Electors ! Whigs and 'Eosin 1 you are at last placed
in a dilemma. Your out rotten machinery is broken up and
can do no more work, that is, profitable work ; and like other
men of business, when business is unprofitalde, they give it up,
and retire on what they have got. Now, my advice to you is,
look out for a true Peelite. I offer myself as a b ,na fide
Radical, and if the Peelite will stand on my principle, that is,
not to spend one single penny (except for the hustings), you
may thin redeem Ipswich. If you fill to do this, this will
be the last election for Ipswich, which must be placed is
Schedule A.
Peel's Government can only be sustair ed by the Electors of
the United Kingdom, electing Members who will enable him to
carry out greet measure=, beneficial to the people.
The Old Tories and the base Whigs will, within three
years, enter into a coalition. to turn Peel out, as they have
often coalesced since 1773. For instance;—
l.—Fox, the Whig, coalesced with Lord North, the Tory, in
the abcnte-mentioned year.
2.—The Whig= and Tories coalesced in 1793 to crush the
people, v,rho remonstrated against that most unjust and most
wicked sear' which has put 800,000,000/. of debt, upon the
shoulders of John Bull.
3.—Fox, and Charles Grey, who now boasts of his order as
a Lord, both ‘7hige coalesced a hlt Lord Grenville. the Tory,
in 1806, and woe kedunder the name of " All the Talents," to
oppress the people..
4.—The Whigs and the Tories coalesced in 1837 to pass
that accursed Bill, the New Pooi-law Bill; and they coalesced
in 1842 to pass that equally accursed Act—the Poor-law
Amendment Act.
And the Whigs and the Tories ever will coalesce when the
rights of the people are to be sacrificed for the continuance of
their plundering exactions, or the support of their extravagant
power.
Peel has done, in six months, what the Whigs ought to have
done ten years since, if they had not been what they are—the most
selfish, base, cruel, and mercenary crew that ever existed in
England. Peel's Tariff has brought down the price of hams
to 6d., beef and pork to 4d. a pound, and the price of bread
will be reduced to 6d. a lo :f before Christmas.
Had it not been for the opposition of the base Whigs, this
would have taken place three months sooner.
My ambition to be in the most corrupt House in the world, is
to support Peel in all his measures that are for the good of the
people, ann to hold up to scorn and indignation the base fac-
tion whose daily work is to obstruct—that is the faction who
may be justly called Obstructives.
I shall be with you in due time.
I am, Electors, your obedient servant,
15, Fenchu:rch-street, JOHN NICHOLSON.
August 5.
N. B. It is just possible that the Whigs and Tories may unite,
and give you one of each party, and thus divide the spoil, that
is, make a compromise, in the same way that was done by that
imperial Whig, Sir John Cam, and Mr. Walter, for Not-
tingham.
If it wilt not be bribery, I will, after the election, give a
public dejtene ala fourehette—that is a public breakfast—of
Tea, Coffee., Peel's Hams, English Roa-t and Boiled Beef, to
the wives an d children of all the honest electors.
The Whi gs may make their voters drunk, as was done at the
last election.
Saturday Evening, Six o'clock.
P. S. The base Whigs of Nottingham have joined the Tories.
It is said that Joseph Sturge has been defeated by the com-
bination of the Dissenters with the old rotten Corporation.
The names of these base Whigs who have sold themselves
shall be published for the benefit of the rising generation, and
circulated th rough every rotten borough in the kingdom.
I have jut t been informed that a gentleman of great talent,
and well known in Ipswich, will be a Peel candidate, and will
no doubt re ceive the zealous support of every honest Tory.
Whigs an Whiggery have received their death-blow at Not-
tingham.
Sir John Cam, once a professed Radical, and a notorious
mob orator, whose name will be handed to posterity, will never
dare to show his face in Nottingham again—in three years the
race will be e xtinet.
