TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PAUL'S WARD

GENTLEMEN,
Most feelingly beg to express my grateful acknowledge-
tnents for the confidence von have placed in electing me
your Representative of this Ward, in which- I have lived
among you for thirty years, and to assure you, no exertions
on my part shall be wanting to promote the good of the Ward
and the general interest of the Town.

My gratitude is especially due to those Gentlemen who,
though differing from me on some political questions, have,
from a feeling of private friendship, refrained from votin;2
against me. _

I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant.

TO THE- ELECTORS, OF SCOTLAND. WARD.
GENTLEMUN,
J
CONGRATULATE you on the result of the Election.
You' have returned me as your Representative to the
Town Council. It was said that the principles of Reform
were to be vindicated in your Ward. The very name of
Reform is now applied to Factious Purposes; I therefore sin-
cerely rejoice with you, that the principles of Conservatism
have-been asserted, and nobly maintained.
When you solicited me'to become your Candidate, I came
forward boldly, and you have supported use cordially. The
activity and exertions of the Canvassers is beyond all praise :
I. beg them to accept my warmest thanks. • To save the
Public Funds from useless waste; to ingnire whether any
Funds are improperly withheld from the Public; to prevent
the destruction of private property by the erection of Public
Warehouses ; these, and other duties which are expected
from me, I shall endeavour to fulfil to the utmost of my
power ; and, Gentlemen, believe me to be, most gratefully,
Your Obedient. Servant,
ISAAC HOLMES.

TO THE BURGESSES OF RODNEY-STREET

WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
ISHOULD be very ungrateful if I did not take the earli-
est opportunity of expressing the sense of obligatian which
I feel to those Friends who have supported me at the late
Election, and to the Committee for their unremitting exer-
tions on my behalf. .

Having Once come forward as a Oandidate, I will not treat
the matter with assumed indifference, and say that I did not
wish to succeed; but, as the contest is now over, I may de.
dare with truth that I am not sorry to be relieved from a
tuation which never can be desirable so long as the Council
shall be an arena for the display of party triumphs, instead
of being confined to its legitimate object, the good govern-
ment and prosperity of the Town of Liverpool.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your faithful obedient Servant,
HENRY LAWRENCE.

WA 11 D.

GENTLEMEN,
• AM deeply sensible of the honour you have conferred
• upon me by electing me one of the Councillors of your
important Ward ; and I trust I am also fully impressed with
the responsibilities attached to the office.
To my friends and supporters l'return my warmest thanks.
I am well aware of the arduous exertions they have made in
my behalf, and I rejoice with them in our success. From
very many of my opponents I hare received assurances of
personal regard, not inconsistent with a lair and honourable
opposition, and which have been most gratifying to me.
Aly desire will be to observe in the Council that line of
conduct which shall preserve the good opinion of my friends,
and convince even my opponents that I am ardently desirous
to promote the best interests of my native town.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obliged servant,
THO. HARVEY.

watch over the interests of Exchange Ward, and to promote
the welfare and prosperity of my native Town.

TO THE ELECTORS OF PITT-STREET WARD.
GI:NTLeMEN,
I
OFFER you my sincere and cordial thanks for the
honour you have conferred upon me in again selecting
me to be your Representative in the Town Council, an honour
which I value the more highly because it assures me that you
have approved of my conduct during the three years that 1
have already acted in that capacity.
I return to the performance of my duties as a Member of
the Council with a firm resolution to act up to those princi-
ples which I have always professed to you, and to advocate,
on all occasions, such measures only as 1 shall believe to be
calculated to promote the prosperity of the Town of Liver-
pool, and, with it, the welfare and happiness of its Inhabi-
tants.

I should be doing injustice to my feelings, were I not to
state that my warmest acknowledgments are due to those
Gentlemen whose active exertions contributed so materially
to my re-election.

I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and ohetliept Servant,
HUGH HORNBY.

TO THE ELECTORS OF ST. PETER'S WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
ALLOW me to offer you my sincere thanks for the very
flattering manner in which you have this day re-elected
me as one of your Representatives in the Town Council.
I feel indeed gratified by this renewal of your confidence,
and that gratification is increased by knowing that to your
free and independent suffrages I am indebted for the honour-
able position which I again occupy.
In abstaining from a persona; canvass I acted not merely
in accordance with my own feelings, but with the advice of
my Committee, to whom and those kind friends by whose
arrangements a nd generous exertions I have been so success-
ful, I feel deeply indebted, end beg to tender by best ac-
knowledgements.
Trusting by a continued zealous and conscientious dis-
charge of my duties to secureyour future confidence, believe
me to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obliged 14nd faithful servant,
Liverpool, Nov. 1, 1838. JO FIN WOOL LRIGHT.

TO THE BURGESSES OF LIME-STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
AccEptiny warmest thanks for the distinguished ho-
nour you have a second time conferred upon rue, by
Electing me to serve as one of your Representatives in the
Town Council.
Apart from every personal consideration, I sincerely con-
gratulate You on the victory you have so nobly achieved.
The extraordinary number of Burgesses who recorded their
Votes in my favour, shows that, in your Ward, at least, the
rause of Reform' has not retrograded; in fact, Gentlemen,
there has been no reaction.
The circumstance of your having elected me by so great a
majority proves, most unequivocally, that your attachments
to the cause of Reform is unabated—that your hatred of
Toryism remains as deeply as ever rooted in your hearts.
Knowing me so well as you do, I conceive it to be unne-
cessary to make any profession of my principles, or promises
as to my future conduct in the capacity of your Representa-
'ye; be assured that I shall do my duty.
With very great respect,
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your much obliged and faithful Servant,
THOS. MORECROFT.
