TO THE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN; •

THE probable time for the Dissolution of the present
Parliament is now so near at hand, that I venture to re-
quest your permission to address you.
I have been honoured by a Requisition inviting me, on the
retirement of Lord SANDON, to become DIDATE for
your Suffrages. It is signed by nan ich we have always
regarded as affording a satisfy guarantee for a general
concurrence of sentiments a g our fellow-townsmen ; and I
accept with pride and pl. re the distinguished invitation it
conveys.
I cannot hope th - any abilities of mine will enable me to
supply the irrep de loss you have sustained. But I have
enjoyed intimat • ipportunities of observing the assiduity and
attention with which your present members have discharged
the duties of your trust; and I have the advantage of knowing,
by long acquaintance, your general and local interests.
lam sincerely attached on every ground—by birth,—by educa-
tion,—and by choice—to the Pritestant Chu th established in
these dominions. I believe her to be the piost valuable :
safe-
guard of our Civil and Religious Liberties.
A respectful consideration for the rights, the inttrests, and
the wishes of those ivho do not conform to her communion,
naturally flows from a regard to her constitution, and an
observance of her teaching.
A painful interest has been felt by many estimable men with
respect to a plan supposed to be in prospect for the endovi ment
of the Priests in Ireland. I do not believe that any project of
that kind is wished for by themselves, or is seriously entertained
in any quarter. Ido not approve, and do not intend to sup-
port it.
I voted for the grant proposed by her Majesty's Government
fcr the general education of the people. I thought it was cal-
culated to extend the advantages of secular knowledge, and the
inestimable blessings of religious training.
I acquiesced in the general measures adopted by the Execu-
tive for the temporary relief of urgent distress in Ireland,—
I cordially sunrrted the enactments by which the right of the
destitute to maintenance from the property of their own neigh-
bourhood is recognized and enforced.
Upon the important questions of commercial legislation,
which have so larv•ely occupied the attention of the expiring
Parliament, I need not trouble you at any length. In former
times, the most illustrious advocates of commercial freedom
have been the representatives of Liverpool. The Policy of
gra.dnallv relaxing prohibitory and restrictive imposts, with a
due regard to the Revenue and a considerate reference
to established interests, has had your general sup-
port. The result has been eminently satisfactory in
the decrease of burdens, the improvement of the Revenue, the
extension of commercial intercourse, and the diminution of
the Public Debt.—Of these advantages Liverpool has enjoyed
an ample share, and has attained in amount of tonnage the
'first position among the Ports of England. It is particularly
'gratifying to observe that this has been chiefly occasioned by
'the increase of British shipping : contributing to the advance-
ment of domestic interests, and to the maintenance of our
Maritime power.
I will support no change in the Navigation Laws, calculated
to interfere with the growing prosperity of the shipping and
commercial interests.

To preserve the honoured institutions of the country, and to
promote the general welfare by judicious adaptations of the
law to the varying requirements of a great and improving
people—these are the objects with which the name of Liver-
pool has been associated in former years. To these objects, if
I shall be honoured by your choice, I promise to devote myself
with firmness; fidelity, and diligence, and have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
EDWARD CARDWELL.
