TO THE BURGESSES AND ELECTORS OF
ABERCROMBY WARD.

GANTLEMEN,
T" fact being so generally known, that my having
consented (at the request of a number of the respectable
inhabitants of your Ward) to offer myself as a CANDI-
DATE at the Municipal Electicn, for the representation of
your interests in the New Town Council, it was not my wish,
nor was it my intention, to have added to that excitement
which usually precedes an Election, by issuing addresses
explanatory of those opinions, on subjects of public interest,
which it has already on two former occasions been my duty
to lay before you. Nor should I. at the present moment have
ventured unnecessarily to intrude mvself on your notice, had
it not been that a Placard, entitled'" The Cooly Candidate,"
has been very generally circulatid in the town, and particu-
larly in Abercromby Ward, which, besides being liable to
mislead others, contains as false and malicious a libel on my
character as can come from the mouth of man ; so much so
that, were it in any of the assumed offensive charges brought
against me consistent in the smallest degree with truth, it
would be, on my part, an act of the most consummate and
unpardonable effrontery to dare to offer myself to your
notice and to solicit your suffrages
It is impossible for me, within these limits, to enter into
that detail which would be requisite to contradict and ex-
pose this base and most offensive slander; so far as it is in-
tended to dissuade you from the upright course of your inten-
tion, by attempts to implicate my *character, and to injure
me in your estimation, I openly, fearless/y, deny the accu-
sation; and not only do I court, but I criaLLEsuE inquiry
into any transaction, be it what it may, in which my reputa•
tion may be considered to be involved. I have avoided
anonymous slanderers; but let any man attach his name to
such statements as "An Elector" has put forward, and I
shall be prepared then to deal with him.
The man who, under an. assumed signature,. seeks, wil-
fully, to injure the character of another, robs himself of that
name Providence has bestowed on him, and can only be an
object for public scorn and indignation to point at. Such is
the character of "An Elector," who, screening himself in
an unaporuachable form, from the reach of detection, but
fearing an exposure, ventures to attack the character and re-
putation of

Your obedient and Faithful servant.

TO THE BURGESSES OF SOUTH TOXTETH

WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
A: Deputation having waited upon me, inviting me to
become a Candidate for your Suffrages at the coming
Election on the First of November next, I at once accede
to the call made upon me; and, at the same time, I thank
you for this kind testimony of your confidence.
My sentiments are well known to von, they having. been
fully and freely expressed, when I bad the pleasure of meet-
ing you at several places in the Ward, antecedent to the last
Election but one. Those sentiments and those
,opinions
remain unehanged, and I am ready to meet you again—and
again to state my views upon the various points of` our Local
Policy. Should Ibe returned as your Represeitatt,e in our
Town Council, my bumble abilities shall be d voted to watch
over, protect, and advance the interests f your section of
this great, increasing, and commercial to
That I should know somewhat of those nterests is certain,
having passed the greatest part of my life among you, toy
own interests being identified with yours; and it would be
ever agreeable to me to communicate with you, in order to
have a still more perfect acquaintance with your wants and
wishes, to render my services the more efficient.

In coining forward. therefore, I set aside all private consi-
derations, in order to oppose a system which has been carried
on under the specious pretext of Reform, while in operatidn
it has been conspicuinis for the recklessness and exclusive-
ness of its character. If you wish our Local Councils to be
impartial and consistent, and thereby most conducive to the
lir:Apr.6(in and happiness of all, you will assist to introduce
a sqficient opposithm to the ruling factiolt in the Council-room.
so that only such measures as are likoly to be for ttir general
benefit dare he brought forward. Your meritorious exertions
will render it impossible for any set of men to concoct plans
at the Angel or any other place, in private, be they good or
be they iQ, and have power to thrust them, of whatever com-
plexion, upon the Council and upon the public;—plans esne-
tinned by the appearance of a free and candid discussion, of
which it is a mockery, and truly showing The originators to
be the real oppressors, rather than the friends and protectors,
of the people. With such a system, individual inte,ests are
unsafe, vested rights are of no value, and the protective
Nitwit& altogether overlooked.
As the supporter of good order, as the upholder of your
just rights, and as the advocate against unjust oppression, I
present myself before you; and should 1, by your exertions,
become your Representative, my voice shall not be silent
whenever yourselves or your interests are attacked.
Repeating once more the grateful sense in which I receive
this mark of your kindness, believe me
Yuur very faithful and obedient Servant,
THOMAS MURRAY GLADSTONE.
