TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
rPHE occasion being at hand when you will be called upon
1 to exercise your privilege in the election of your repre-
sentatives, I consider it my duty respectfully to present
myself to your notice as a Candidate for the honourable post
to wnich I have twice been elevated by ti majority of your
suffrages.
On those former occasions I have ad to address you on
subjects of general policy, on whic my opinions are un-
changed. and I have no reason to esume that yours have
undergone alteration. On such t would be idle now to
detain you, and improper to do so with any purpose of di-
verting your attention from topics of superior interest, at
the moment on which you have a right to know- my opinions.

I am opposed to a total repeal of duties on the importation
of corn ; though, not speaking with the authority of a minis-
ter of the crown, I do not affix the character of madness or
criminality to those with whom I differ on this point. I
believe, however, that confusion and transfer of property,
amounting to a social revolution, would be the consequences
of that measure ; that its best success would be some exten-
sion of our manufacturing establishments unattended with
any real improvement in the condition of the operative, but
accompanied by great risk to him from dependance on foreign
nations for supply, and by a disturbance of the home market,
which would confirm and extend the distress under which he
now labours. _ _ _ _ _ _

Such a measure, however, I would, on the best considera-
tion I can give the subject, adopt, in preference to the fixed
duty now proposed by government, which, taking into ac-
count all the circumstances of its introduction, 1 consider
not indirect but certain mode of effecting total repeal. I do
and believe, or mean to insinuate, that it is advocated by
Lord John Russell with this view or intention ; and I am
well aware that it holds out a prospect of certain advantages,
which have conciliated towards it the opinions of many per-
sons of weight and authority, who have no object in view
but the good of the community. Believing however, that
to the agriculturists its protection would be delusive, that as
a compromise between parties who suppose their interest to
be conflicting, it would be inefficacious for any purpose of
peace or conciliation; that it would lead to periodical colli-
sions with the people, which no intervention could allay, and
no authority resist; and that it would break down under the
first pressure of a deficient harvest, I, at least, could not be
among its honest supporters.
To a full, careful, and dispassionate revision of the present
system of fluctuating duty, I have not only no objection,
but I think the time is arrived when such revision is required.
I have observed and read too much of the prophecies of the
ablest men, on extensive measures of political economy, not
to entertain with doubt predictions of exact results. I may
hope, however, that by the application of experience, and
the exertion of the best undsrstandings, modifications of the
remedy
present scale may be adopted, which may the main
evils complained of as its concomitants, without the substi-
tution of greater. In all discussions of the subject, when-
ever doubt may arise, whenever authorities may be nicely
balanced, I shall feel it my duty to act as I may conjecture
those who hold the converse of my position in the country
will act. I presume that the man who is in the centre of a
strictly rural population, will look to its wishes and apparent
interests. I shall do likewise ; and if he looks to his ricks,
I shall look to my chimneys and those of my neighbours.
With respect to the other proposals of government, on
sugar I have stated in parliament my estimate of the extent
of the relief proposed by government to the consumer, and
my reasons for not accepting it. I have seen no reason to
retract my calculation, or alter my opinion. Timber appears,
by consent of ministers, to have
slipped through& hole in the
budget.
