OF NT LLIIIE
ANXIOUS to perfevere in the fame Honourable
Csufe which I have for this laft Ten Years fupported, I
have ditermircd to come forward at this critical juncture, to
maintain your Independence, and to fupport the true Intereft of
my Country, by a faithful difcharge of that Principle in Parlia-
ment. Tic iminenft expence of conteft in that field in which I
have twice triumphed, was the only caufe of my lately Wing
obliged to retreat from it.
That the Vote and Voice of a Member of Parliament thouid
be Free, Independent, arid arifing from the conviction of his own
mind, is an axiom which I have ever thought it an honour to
fupport; determined to continue that fupport, I offer myfelf to
you, as a Candidate, to have the honour of reprefenting you iq
the enfuing Parliament.
Should I be fo fortunate as to fumed and be the ohjedt of your
choice, the intereft and welfare of the Town of Madame mutt
ever be one of the fir* objects of my attention.

I an, GINTLIMEN.
Your molt obedient and faithful humble ferraot.

TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, AND FREEHOLDERS
OF THE COUNTY OF DORSET.

PARLIAMENT being Diffolved, I take the li-
bcrtyy of foliciting the high honour of again becoming your fie-
prefentative ; an honour which you have five times conferred on
me, and nearly unanirreufly a few months ago.
At that Median I confident' it a duty not to join either of the
other Candidates, but to conduct t myfelf with the ftridtelt impar-
tiality towards both thofe Gentlemen. I conceive it to be squally
my duty, and it is my determination to adt now on the fame
principle.
Immediately after the laft Eledtion, I began at one extremity of
the County to return my perfoual thanks to every Freeholder for
the difUnguHhed favours bestowed upon me, and I proceeded till
the neceffity of attending to Parliamentary ands compellable
to go to London. It is my intention with all poflible difpateb to
go through every part, and if the thortnefs of the time before the
Elect ion will not permit it, I doll afterwards take a very early op-
portunity of paying my refpodts to you, being truly anxious to ex•
prefs my gratitude to every individual.
It I. only from independent eondudt, and my zeal to promote to
the utmoit of my power the interefts of the County, that I pre-
fume to ask for your fupport, and flatter myfelf with the hopes of
being favoured with it on the day of Eledioe.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
With the greaten regard and rekedt,
Your await faithful and mon obliged humble Servant,

TO THE MAYOR, BAILIFFS. BURGESSES, AND INHA
BITANTS OF THE TOWN AND COVNTY OF THE
TOWN OF SOUTHAMPTON.

CINTLIMEN,
IT Was always the ambition of my life to reprefent
my Native Town ; and when you did me the honour ticket-
ing me left autumn. I received that mark of your confidence with
exultation, and endeavoured to the belt of my abilities to dif-
charge the important trait you had repofed in me, with honour,
fidelity, and zeal—l now retied with. fatisfadlion on my baying
borne an bumble mare in the great works of that Ibort but memo-
rable Parliament.—ln the abolition of an inhuman traffic•—in a
wife and beneficent plan for relieving the People from the prelfure
of taxation—in an attempt to correct public abufes—and in a pro-
jeet for the Education and Improvement of the Poor—But I mall
never forget that for the comfort of thefe refledtions, I am lOW
and entirely indebted to you.
_ -

During my late canvafs I have indeed received many additional
proofs of the kind and flattering partiality of thofe among whom I
have lived ; but I have obferved with deep regret, that appreben-
fions of a meafure which was very limited in its nature, and
WHICH HAD Dille ACTUALLY WITHDRAWN DiTOCH THY LATH
MINISTLIS WRAC DISMISSED, had been but too fuccefsfully en-
couraged by calumny and mifreprefentation.
A detailed explanation orjußifieation of my principles is unne-
celfary, and would be improper ; but I am confident that the In-
dependent and Honourable Men who eledled me fix months ago
neither wined me to conceal them, nor would now afk me to
abandon them.

It is a difappointment to lore my feat in Parliament—lt is a
greater mortification to have loft the (upport of thole to whom I
am indebted, and to whom I Rail ever be attacbed--But it would
be yet more painful to lore their rerped and good opinion, and I
am convinced that an adherence to principle is the only method
of permanently preferving them—Thus fimated I red it becntning
in me to withdraw from the easnelb-.-a e u eA otpeculi.v charades.
in which religious animofity 'has been unfortunately blended with
political dreuffion. It will however be the Rudy te my future. as
it has been the object of my paft life, to deferre and obtain your
confidence and approbation.
The fudden diffolution, which Interrupted fo many private Bills
In their propels, and Rifled fo many public meafures in their in-
fancy, has alto prevented for a time the calm and difpaffionate in.
veitlgation of the fubjed to which I have Alluded. But when the
real object of thofe, who advikd that unufual exerolfe of the pre •
rogative is known, and felt, Llaave little doubt but the mikoncep-
tions,of which they avail tbenefelvcs, will he removed, and I look
Alward with confidence to fome future: opportunity of again Mim-
ing you my fervica in Parliament.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen.
Your melt obedient and devoted Servant,
Southampton, May + ARTHUR ATHIRLET.
