Committee-room, lst July, 1841.

TO THE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN,
rIIHIS is now the fifth time that I have to thank you for
the distinguished honour of entrusting me with the
Representation of your Town in Parliament.
At any time, and under any circumstances, this proof that
neither by the course which. I have pursued, in regard to
public affairs, nor by the management of your local and indi-
vidual interests, I had forfeited your confidence, would have
been most gratifying to my feelings ; but that this testimony
of your approbation should have been afforded under the
peculiar circumstances of the times, and by a majority so
overwhelming and so unprecedented, excites in me, indeed,
feelings of gratitude for myself and of rejoicing for my
country, which I shall not pretend to express.
You have refused to embark in what I believe would be a
fatal and delusive policy : you have rejected a Minister of
the Crown because he was the representative of that policy ;
you have shown, by the voice of one of the most important
communities of the Empire, that you will not be tempted, in
the pursuit of possible and precarious advantages, to abandon
existing and settled interests, still less to forget those great
principles in our Civil and Religious Institutions, which are
the first and dearest objects of your attachment. Gentle-
men, again I thank you, and remain

Your faithful and obliged Servant,
SANDON.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF
LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,
IReturn you my heartfelt thanks for the distinguished ho-
nour which you have now, for the second time, conferred
upon me, and I congratulate you, at the same time, upon
the glorious uictory which you have achieved. It is, indeed,
most delightful to know that in this great commercial Town,
second only to London in importance, reason and judgment
have triumphed over passion and prejudice—that my en-
lightened Constituents have seen through all the mists of
sophistry and false phi:osophy, which have been so strenu-
ously raised for the purpose of misleading them. I trust
that their good example will produce a salutary effect upon
the Elections which are still undecided, and that, when Par-
liament re-assembles, so large a body of Conservative Mem-
bers will have been returned as to secure to the Country the
benefit of " steady Government and useful Legislation."
Gentlemen, I bid you farewell, pledging myself to prove
my gratitude, for the renewed expression of your confidence
in me, by increased energy and diiigence in discharging the
duties of your Representative.
1 have the honour to be
Your very grateful and faithful Servant,
CRESSWELL CRESSWELL.
