By Messrs. WINSTANLEY,

GENTLEMEN,
rp HE declarations of her Majesty's Ministers have now
I placed it beyond a doubt, that a Dissolution of Parlia-
ment is close at hand. On no other ground, indeed, do they
defend their present retention of office, than that the sense
of the people is with them, though that of their Representa-
tives is not, and that to that sense they are entitled to ap-
peal,. . . . .

[PRICE FIVEPENCE.

that it may have had a tendency to correct some of the evil'
arising from the law as before administered. THE PRE-
SENT SYSTEM, however, MAY BE MUCH IM-
PROVED—THE POWERS GIVEN (sometimes to un-
feeling men), ARE TOO LARGE—THE COMMIS-
SIONERS ARE TOO ABSOLUTE, HAVING AN
UNLIMITED POWER OF LEGISLATION BY
THEIR RULES—and above all, THE SYSTEM IS IN-
APPLICABLE TO LARGE AND DENSELY PEO-
PLED TOWNS, where it is impossible to resort to the
workhouse as the test of destitution without producing the
most cruel and disastrous results.
These are my opinions on these interesting questions,
which I have thought it my duty to declare, while I renew
my former assurances of inviolable attachment to those in-
stitutions in Church and State, which I know you hold most
dear. Believe me, your exertions in their defence are still
needed : the attempt at the spoliation of the church has
been postponed, not abandoned—the attempt to establish a
scheme of secular without religious education was foiled by
the Conservative party, and can only be averted for the
future by the strenuous efforts of the constituent body at the
approaching election ; and, in addition to giving these proofs
of hostility to the Church, her Majesty's ministers, by un-
constitutionally retaining office under existing circumstances,
have done much to place in peril the just prerogatives of the
Crown, and the liberties of the People. _ . .

Whether the experience of defeat after defeat, in Election
after Election, in County, Town, and Borough, warrants
them in pretending to such an expectation, seems more than
doubtful ; but there can be no doubt, that men, having a
proper sense of-their responsibility, as Ministers of the
Crown, for the peace and good government of the country,
would never, in the hope of recovering a popularity which
their general principles and general administration had for-
feited, have left questions so complicated and so exciting as
the Poor Laws and the Corn Laws, to be discussed and de-
cided, as best they might, under the fever of a general elec-
tion.

If you again confer upon me the high honour of a seat in
the House of Commons, as your representative, the mainte-
nance of those prerogatives and liberties will ever be the
main object of the exertions of

Your very obedient
And faithful Servant,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF

LIVERPOOL

GENTLEMEN,
THE number and respectability of the signatures attached
to the Requisitioo which has this day been presented to
me, secure me from the charge of presumption, when, in
obedience to the desire therein expressed, I declare myself a
Candidate to represent this Borough in Parliament.
Having availed myself of the frequent opportunities
afforded me for the expression of my opinions upon the lead-
ing subjects of political controversy, it is unnecessary that I
should, at this moment, do more than allude, as briefly as
possible, to the principles by which, in the event of my be-
coming the objecrof your choice, my parliamentary conduct
would be regulated.
Prohibitory and protective duties for the benefit of parti-
cular classes of a community, I believe to be as inexpedient as
they are unjust. This belief, founded on reflection, has
gained strength from upwards of twenty years' experience in
commercial life. Mere party distinctions seem to me of
little moment when compared with the great objects of ex-
tending the field for human employment ; opening to the
capitalist, for the exercise of his skill and enterprise, the
markets of the world, and securing to the industrious masses
the means of improving their physical and social condition.
I am convinced that FREE TRADE is an essential element of
progressive national prosperity, and I would support every
measure calculated to give that spirit to our commercial
. .

The diffusion of knowledge, through the means of a corn,
prehensive and impartial system of NATION?. L EDUCATION,
by causing submission to the laws to spring from intelligence
and reflection, would give safety to our institutions, and im-
part a higher tone to the moral and religious character of the
people; I would, therefore, strenuously advocate the adop-
tion of the best means of placing instruction within the reach
of all.

I hold that enfranchisement should steadily keep pace with
increasing intelligence, and that the independence of the
voter should be, as far as possible, secured. The Legislature
which thus on he one hand fosters the desire for civil rights,
and on the other affords protec.ion to their conscientious ex-
ercise, adopts the only policy that will give stability to the
Government and satisfaction to the people.
Firmly attached to the Church of England, I am not in-
sensible to the fact, that, as an Establishment, it owes its
origin to the successful vindication of the rights of conscience ;
and I am convinced, that the best service which can be ren-
dered to the cause of true religion and to the Church itself,
is the removal of all grounds of just complaint on the part of
the Dissenter.

With great respect,
