TO THE ELECTOIiS OF TAE NORTHERN
DIVISION OF LANCASHIRE.

GENTLEMEN,
ADISSOLUTION of the present Parliament behlg
near at hand, I take an early opportunity of announcing
My intention of again becoming a CANDIDATE for the ho-
nour of your Representation.
Having already held this distinguished. poit during six pre-
ceding Parliaments, I believe that you ake already in possession
of nearly all the means of formingli correct judgment of my
qualifications for so important a trust.
The main principle which has guided me has been a desire
to maintain, and, as circupfstances might require it, carefully
to amend those lnstitu ns under which this country is so
happily governed. no period of our history have those
Institutions stood o satisfactory and triumphant a test
as during the pe dof the present Parliament. At a time of
general embarrassment, some European governments were
overthrown, and nearly all of them shaken to their foundations,
while our own free system almost alone remained undis-
turbed.

I have endeavoured upon all occasions to take a correct and
enlightened view of the great interest on which our national
welfare matenally depends. It is with much gratification that
I contemplate the present general prosperity; but this feeling
is mingled with regret that one important branch of our Na-
tional Industry should not have participated in that great
advance which has within the last few years taken place in the
interests of Commerce, of Manufactures, and of Labour.
Much has undoubtedly been done within that period by in-
creased exertion, by the adoption of Improvements, by the
more general application of Science to the Cultivation of the
Soil, to relieve Agriculture from what I confidently hope is a
temporary state of depression. If upon a fair and impartialinquiry it should be found that it bears an unequal burden of
which may have for its object to afford additional .
respect, and to do equal justice to all.

Foreign Policy, and, believing that Peace may be best main-
tained by conciliation and measures of precaution, I have given
them my support in carrying a Bill, winch, if passed into a Law
as now amended, will afford some additional security for peace,
while it will repeal the unequal, and (in my opinion) oppressive,
provisions of the present Militia Law.
