TO THE

MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF ST. PAUL'S WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
THE period is fast approaching when you will once more
be called upon to elect a Councillvelor your Ward.
A few months ago, 1 had the satisfittion of being waited
upon by a Deputation of my Constituents, who requested
me to renew the offer of my services on the Conservative In-
terest, at the next :Municipal Election ; and, at the same
time, assured me of their warmest support. ith this re-
quest, (with feelings of gratitude,) I readily complied. For
the third time, therefore, I take the opportunity of renewing
a solicitation for your suffrages.
There is a local matter counected with the welfare of your
Ward and Neighbourhood, which it may not be improper to
notice upon the present occasion, viz. the inadequate accom-
modation, so generally acknowledged, in Pownall-square
Market. I consider that the dense population contiguous to
this locality, and the public convenience, require the enlarge-
ment and improvement of the same. You will doubtless re-
member, that when the renewal of this Market was first
called for by the Inhabitants, I gave that measure my best
support.
I am thankful to be able to state that my health is now
considerably improved ; and should you once more return me
as one of your Representatives in the Town Council, it shall
be my constant study to promote the general interests of my
native town, and especially those of St. Paul's Ward.
I am, gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
Plumbe-street, Liverpool, JOHN BARTON.

TO THE INDEPENDENT BURGESSES OF
SCOTLAND WARD,
GENTLEMEN,
VOU have been pleased, through the medium of a nu-
ll attended Public Meeting of the Burgesses of
the Ward, to express a unanimous desire that I should offer
myself as a Candidate for your suffrages at the approaching
Municipal Election.
Had I consulted my own feelings alone, I should have
respectfully declined an invitation which, in its acceptance,
might assume the character of presuMption, or be attributed
to a desire to gratify a spirit of self exaltation at the expense
of those prudential considerations which usually deter private
individuals from entering the troubled arena of public life ;
but I trust to be able to show, within the limits of this ad-
dress, that higher motives have induced me to solicit your
votes for the responsible situation of one of your. Represe-
ntatives in the Council of this Borough.
The long struggle on the part of the people for local repre-
sentative government has ended in securing for England and
Scotland the Municipal Reform Act ; but the Legislature, in
making property the basis of the franchise, has given an in-
fluential and formidable minority opposed to then extension
of popular rights, the means of obstucting the progress of
those liberal and elightened views of legislation which would
place the institutions of the country in unison with the im-
proved spirit and superior intelligence of the present age.
Hence the conflict of two antagonist principles, formerly con-
fined to the elections of Members to the House of Commons,
has been introduced into the contests for the less distinguished,
but important, office of the Town Councillor; and every
Municipal election since 1835 has been distinctly understood
to involve the triumph of one or other of the two great parties
who divide the opinions aryl support of this rapidly increas-
ing town, The people can alone determine how long this
principlessy t system tios
in continueth the

htuet h s

result of our local elections, it becomes the duty of every in-
dividual, Who from any circumstance may be enabled to
serve the political principles to which he is attached, to
waive his own feelings, and even his interests, to promote
that cause which he has embraced, from a strong sense of
its justice and its truth. I may be excused in stating that a
conviction of this nature has induced me to stand forward
upon this occasion the humble but sincere advocate of those
principles through the success of which you have been placed
in the situation of weighing deliberately and deciding fairly
between the relative merits of the two Candidates for your
suffrages.
From sense of justice of what is not only due to myself,
but to those Gentlemen who have taken an interest in my
nomination, I have entered thus at length into the motives
which influenced me to solicit your votes at the ensuing
Municipal Election. I have not sought the honour of my
present position ; as little will I sin ink from its remotest
consequences. The question stripped of its personal rela-
tions I believe to be this,—whether the numerous and intel-
ligent body of the middle classes are to take advantage
of that measure of Municipal Reform, which, when it in-
vested them with civil priviliges, by fixing a moderate pro-
perty.qualificatiou for the office of a member of the Town
Council, clearly contemplated the elevation by themselves of
those of their own class, in whose integrity and capacity they
were inclined to place confidence. _ _

The same substantive measure of Reform which swept
away the old a vicious principle of self-appointed for life of
an irresponsible body of Town Councillors, has rendered the
clear and distinct exposition of the sentiments of the Candi-
date for the suffrages of his fellow-citizens not only neces-
sary but inevitable, more particularly with reference to those
subjects which interest and divide public opinion.
1 hold that the Town Councillor is merely the trustee for
the time being of those whom he represents, accountable, in
the strictest sense of the term, for his share in the manage-
ment of the great interests placed under his control, and
consequently under the imperative obligation of giving the
utmost publicity of every act in which his relations and
duties to his constituents are in every degree concerned.
Feeling deeply that the best security for the preservation of
order and obedience to the laws—the inviolability of the
sacred relations of property and the rights of labour—are to
be found in the cultivated intelligence and high moral tone
of the people, arising out of the means of general education
being made available for all, I am an advocate for the appli-
cation of such a portion of the surplus of the borough fund
at the disposal of the Council as may afford educational as-
sistance in such districts in which the population are in most
need of aid, that -aid being given without distinction of sect
or creed.

While I would not, unless upon the most indisputable
evidence, apply public money in any manner which might
tend to injure large masses of capital, invested in a particular
form upon the faith of an acknowledged system, I would
warmly support any measure which had for its object the
giving to the trading interests of this port increased facility,
and more powerful means of competition with the other com-
mercial 1 owns in the kingdom.
It will be scarcely necessary for me to observe that I am
an advocate of such a system of economy and retrenchment
as may be found consistent with a due regard to the improve-
ment and efficient discharge of the duties of our municipal
institutions.

It now only remains for me to add, in conclusion, that in
submitting my claims for your support, I have not under-
valued the extent of that active and unremitting hostility
which he must be prepared to submit to, who, trusting to
his own honesty of purpose, looks to the principles of party,
rather than to the men of whom it is composed, and has
determined upon the hazardous experiment of thinking and
acting for himself on all subjects connected with the moral,
civil, and social relations of society.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
H. T. ATKINSON.

SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoraturn.
MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inliatitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opeafed an Establishment
permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STRitET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to 11 up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
.of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,—
at the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0
A complete Set 5 5 0
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
from Nine till Two.
