TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF ST. PAUL'S
' WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
A Deputation of Electors of your and having waited
upon me, requesting that I would consent to be put in
nomination as a Candidate on the Conservative Interest at
the approaching Municipal Election, and having also
assured me of your warmest support; I take the present op-
portunity of stating, that I cheerfully accede to your wishes,
and beg to express my gratitude for the confidence reposed
in me, and for the honour which such a mark of your esteem
and approbation confers.
Holding, as I do, the interests of the Town of Liverpool
deeply at heart, having been a resident tradesman for nearly
thirty years in the immediate neighbourhood of your Ward,
and being also in close alliance with the general interests of
that Ward, I trust I may flatter myself, without any appear-
ance of arrogance, that I am not without many tried and
good friends. To those who have already proffered their
kind support. I return my most cordial thanks.
I feel myself called upon to express my sentiments on one
important point, namely, that I am decidedly opposed to the
erection of Warehouses, by a public body, on the verge of
the Liverpool Dock Quays, thereby interfering with the
vested rights of, individuals. 1 consider it unjust for public
guardians to attempt to rival private persons, who, in many
instances, have purchased Land from the authorities of the
town under the express stipulation to build Warehouses
thereon; never anticipating that local Trustees would
venture to depreciate the value of their possessions by a
measure, which, if carried into effect, would be fraught with
considerable injury to the interests of the great body of the
owners of Warehouse Property, without giving an equiva-
lent advantage to the Port

I, therefore, most respectfully solicit your earnest exertions
in my behalf, should these my sentiments be in accordance
with those of the majority of the Electors; and should 1
have the honour to be placed in the distinguished situation
of one of your Representatives in Council, the duties which
will thereby necessarily devolve upon me shall be assidiously
and independently discharged; and it shall also be my con-
stant study to promote the general interests of the town, but
my attention shall more especially be given to those of St.
Paul's Ward.

I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful Servant,
• GEO. 'WRIGHT.
