GLNTLEMENO -
4.CCE PT my sincere thanks' for the unsolicited compliment
you have paid me iu electing 'tie one of Your Represen-
tatives iu the Town Council: accept nay most h'eartfelt nigra-
tulations on the general issue of your exertions, lam fully
• e how truly unimportant is my individual return on this
s
occasion, how trifling ally services must be which I can hope to
render von at the present juncture ; but gentlemen, your sup
port of one who, for twenty-three years, --
has been a member -of
that council which the liherality of our opponents -designate as
worse than useless, is an invaluable indication of your views;
it is an ample proof that you are. not indiffeient to the main-
tenance of an Established Church and of Schools in confurinit
With its prin-ciples; it is a proof that you do not think it culpable
to have defended the rights of our freemen, and that, in your
opinioo, 'something is still doe to men whit successfully resisted
those selfish attempts to overthroW our town-dues, which aoukl
have deprived the.inbahitants of the-greater part of the' revenue
they now enjoy ; and it shows, too, -that the part which I felt it
my duty to take in endeavouring to carry through parliament
a bill which would have prevented the town council front exer-•
cising an undue preponderance in the affairs of the dock estate,.
and availing themselves of its resign ces for mere pai ty purposes,
and which would have placed its management, to a greater ex—
tent, in the body of the merchants and rate-payer, who are so
immediately interested in its welfare, has at least nut met with
your disapprobation:
let me, then, renew my thanks for the good opinion von have.
thus.expressed of me, and be assured that in the discivirge of the
duties entrusted to lily care it shall be my ttudv, uninfluenced by
party bias, to co-operato -with toy colleagues-1u promoting such
measures as may appear, in my judgement, must conducive to
the public good.
I am, o.entlemen,
"Yonr Obliged and faithful servant,
CHAS. LAWRENCE.
