EVERTON AND KIRKDALE WARD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

Sin,—The Reformers of Everton Ward seem to think
Mr. Walthew a paragon of perfection. Perhaps he is,
but the abuse his friends heap on Mr. 1-lornby does not
make him or his cause any better • and if a comparison
is"to be instituted bet Ween the rivd.candidates as to their
general usefulness, Mr. Hamby will certainly not lose by
it. However, great exertions are now making by the
so-called Liberals, assisted by the men who are outwardly
Protestant, but covertly Papists—that is, the Puseyites—
to oust Mr. liornby ; Init their efforts will be unavailing.
As Mr. liornby is a member of the Church Expenditure
Committee, perhaps you can C. a Wray of light thrown
on the dark amalgamation of High Church and Radical
to keep out a good 'Conservative and sound Protestant; '
yet the electors will do their duty and frustrate them.
Yours, &c., X.
Oct. 20th, 1847. .

TO THE BURGESSES OF ST. ANNE'S WARD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL. STANDARD.

ELECTORS,—As the period is fast approaching in which,
you will be called upbn to exercise your privilege of electing
trustworthy men to represent your local interests in the
Council of your native or .adopted town, feeling a deep
interest in the coming contest for this Ward, it may not
be considered presumptuous 'a me, an inhabitant of St.
Anne's for: upwards of nine years, and a close observer of
local events, to address you upon your duty on the Ist of
November. Although a reformer in principle, and in
religion it Catholic, yeti am satisfied I am violating -no
principle—am making no compromise—in. supporting a'
gentleman utterly oppOsed to .me both in religion and
politics; this I can do' With a clear conscience for one
good 'reason, that we are bound to sacrifice party feeling
on the altar of the'public. weal ; that each of us is more
interested in good local government, and . in sanatory
reform,' than the trumpery question of Whig and Tory ;
and that the guiding-principle of our local representatives.
should be; the greater gob& to the greater number—real,
solid, perManent good, by bringing within the reach of
all who choose to avail themselves of it, everything con-
ducive to cleanliness and health ; if Mr. Parker he tried
by this rule, he will' be found to come up to my standard
of that 'which constitutes a trust-worthy looak- repre-
sentative. As every means are being employed by taction
to prevent Mr. Parker from again representing us. let me
ask the Electors—What has lie done to forfeit the con-
fidence hitherto reposed in him by the majority of the
Ward for so many yea's? , Is it his manly and straight-
forward conduct upon all occasions on which .the present
comfort' and happiness of the poor were involved ? Is it
by hiS unbounded-charity among the poor.? Is it by his
endeavours to procure comfort and Cleanliness among the
humble classes ? Is it by the zcal and untiring fidelity,
and regular attendance to his dillies,. that he has forfeited
your confidence ? I think not. The verdict of approval
lies with you, and 'I trUst:Sincerely that it whi be to place.
James Parker,' Esq. as' representative of St. Anne's Ord
by a triumphant majority ; on the day of election let
every elector who 'admites'tried zeal and fidelity to duty,
in behalf of the trading and industrious. classes, re is
early to the poll, and vote for Parker, in preference to
untriedAien, or such, whose only aim and ambition is to
serve party interests.
1 respectfully a to subscribe myself.
