THE ELECTIONS.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STAN.-- mog
SlR,—The walls of the town are already
quite an electioneering aspect. Large placard"
appeared, in which we see, in large capitals,
o BREAD TAX !
I would just observe that it would be quite as sellsible
the Conservatives were to raise the cry of

No BEER TAX

No TEA TAX !
at the same time declaring themselv

sed to the,l

ies 00,,
on malt, or duty on tea. - A duty on wheat is tie 0"
"just" as a tax on malt, and a duty on flour "t" tbe,„
,
tea. Certain gentlemen, with Mr. Blackburne ?;(
head, are ready to sacrifice everything (vide repo' -der:
speech at the gathering on Saturday) to free tr:iriv
Church, Queen, Ships, and Colonies,—El'6l'/trsde;
must be given up to propitiate the deity of free
60'
How different this to the language of our noble Krenttb'
The one will give up everything for the gee° ~nlieL
country, the other will sacrifice all to his selfishr",obr
How degrading' and disgusting the one, and h°7(
and praiseworthy the other ! AO7
It would be well if all the Conservative's placards`
to end with the motto,

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN I 5, oil"
For it is a crown that is really at stake.—Yl
