TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTH TOXTETH WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
THE sincere regard I entertained for your late excellent
Representative, and my friend,. Mr. W. W. CURRIE,
.renders it extremely painful to me to address you, so very
shortly after his melancholy decease, as a Candidate for the
Representation of your Ward in the Town Council. The
duty has been forced upon me, however, thus early, by the
circumstance of active measures having already been com-
menced by the party to whose political opinions I am op-
._ _ _

Having passed the greater portion of my life in your im-
mediate neighbourhood, and taken a zealous part in almost
every political struggle in which you have been engaged, my
sentiments must be pretty generally known.
I conceive, however, that the duties of a Member of the
Town Council have reference to the local interests and wel-
fare of the community ; and beg to assure you, that so far
as my humble abilities will permit, I shall cheerfully support
any measure which I believe likely to benefit my neighbours,
and the inhabitants of the town generally.
To the system of combined Education which has been
adopted in the Corporation Schools, I avow myself decidedly
opposed. At the same time, I should deplore that the chil-
dren of the Roman Catholic poor in this community should
be uneducated; and I therefore would hail with pleasure any
plan of separate instruction for them, which would not in-
volve a compromise of Protestant principles.
I ask from those who differ with me in Religion, the same
freedom of thinking and acting which they claim for them-
selves ; and I assure you, Gentlemen, that in strenuously
supporting the Church of England, of which I am a member,
I am far from considering that it forms part of my duty to
act with intolerance towards the members of other persua-
sions.
With these sentiments, and at the earnest request of many
respected individuals of your constituency, I beg leave to
solicit yonr support upon the present occasion.
As a personal Canvass, during the short period that must
elapse before the Election takes place, is almost impossible,
I trust I shall be excused for not undertaking it.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
ALEX. SMITH, JUN.
