Mine require no elaborate definition. In religion I
Churchman, in politics a Tory. You, gentlern(
reminded that the cry whit

would associate into

incapacity with the other, is as unfounded as it is
It is to the Tory constituency of Mr. Canning and

Huskisson that 1 address myself. Ai a Churchman, then
the integrity, independence, and increased efficiency of tin
Church—as a Tory, the maintenance of an historic Monarchy
the consolidation of a mighty empire, and the happiness of
noble people—are the objects, both in public and in private life

- The various members of that empire appear to me suscepti-
ble of a closer alliance. The social and moral condition of that
people admits and demands amelioration. To a Statesman's

merce, will receive my active support. It has been truly said,
that England and her colonies can form a Zolverein which shat
eclipse that confederation whose pretensions now perplex ow
merchants and our Ministers.
But the Tariff which regulates our commerce requires a ge•
neral revision. The recent changes that have been made in
do but point out, and in some measure increase, its anornaliN

inconsistencies.and Why some foreign productions whici
enter into competition with our own are to be admitted at z
nominal duty, while Tea, so important an article of consume.
tin to our neonle. is charged with a duty equivalent to 200 pet

cent., and fobccO with one equal to 600 per cent., baffles all
explanation. Nor can any cause be shown why some of out
native productions and manufactures should be subjected tc
vexatious restrictions and exorbitant taxes in order to permil
a partial system of free imports from other countries. Alio%)
me to sum up my opinions on these subjects in the words of t

policy of the country, I am prepaied to
of those fetters which the present vexatic
imposes on our native industry, and to rc
Duties to that point which will combine the greatest amount (
imports with the greatest amount of revenue."

Upon the principle of the Navigation Laws I entertain in
doubt or hesitation. The wisdom of that system has been am
ply proved by long experience ; nor is it to be endured that ow
maratime supremacy, and consequent national inviolability
. .

should be enciane,oereil'in order to gratify the dogmatism ors
modern school of political philosophy. Against the extreme
views of that school I have in this Parliament vindicated the
principle that it is the duty of the State to protect the rights
and grant the just claims of poverty and labour; nor shall I

shrink from asserting
protector of the poor.
The recent and general discussion to which the Bank Charter
Act has been subjected has failed to convince me that it is wise
to maintain its present unyielding character. The require.
ments of legitimate commerce call for its relaxaton.
The system of foreign centralization has made great strideE
of late. It is, in my opinion, alien to the ancient free Ilia.
racter of our people and their municipal institutions, and will,
I fear, if carried to the extent developed in measures recently moreover, are remarkably cl
submitted to Parliament by her Majesty's present advisers,
produce far more serious and lasting evils than any it can
remedy. Your own town contains noble proofs of what local
intelligence and energy directed to great, even to national,
objects can effect; and we should ill exchange the principles
and habits that have produced such results for those which,

From this imperfect exposition of my principles you, gen-

an opinion favourable to mine, I shall take the earliest oppor-

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF

LIVERPOOL

IHAVE have had the honour of receiving a commu-
nication inviting me to become a CANDIDATE at the ap-
proaching General Election, for one of the vacancies created
by the resignation of your_present Members. _ _ _ _

have experience
first introduced

Such are the y
sons labouring t

In accepting tins invitation, I feel most sensibly that I aspire
at once to nearly the highest and most honourable distinction
in public life; for such an one I hold to be the representation
in Parliament of a constituency so important as that of Liver-
pool, as well by its numbers and intelligence, as by its industry
and its wealth.
Had this choice fallen upon some one eminent in the State,
and whose time and attention had already been devoted, with
success, to the public service, I should have rejoiced, upon your
own account, at the selection ; but as I have been thought wor-
thy to receive this very flattering proposal—one peculiarly gra-
tifying, as opening to me a prospect of representing my native
town, I accept the offer, in the hope that I may, by a zealous
and independent discharge of my duties in Parliament, and an
unremitting attention to your interests, justify, in some degree,
the compliment that has been paid to me.
My opinions, I trust, are well known to you to be those which
have long guided the supporters of a liberal spirit of legislation ;
nevertheless, on some questions, which are at the present mo-
ment of peculiar interest, a more particular explanation will be
naturally expected from me.
Although, by the enlightened policy of the present Parlia-
ment, duties and restrictions have been removed from the

attention of the

ing testimonials

leading articles of consumption, and the statute book now re-
cords the triumph of the principles of commercial freedom,
diligence and attention will still be necessary to secure to the
people the full benefit of these important changes, and constant
exertion will be required to obtain for them the advantage of
still further progress.
Should I have the honour of becoming your Representative,
I shalt be proud of the opportunity, through you, of contending
for the practical extension of the principles thus already ad-
mitted, to every article of use, comfort, or convenience, and of
giving my best assistance to the completion of a tariff, the
operation of which would not only contribute to our prosperity
at home, but, by the enlargement of our transactions with fo-
rein countries, strengthen the feeling of mutual dependence,
g
and secure to us the inestimable blessings of peace.
Whilst actively engagea iii urging forward these improve-
ments in our commercial code, as calculated to foster the
industry, add to the comforts, and advance the prosperity of
the Country, I should always take the deepest interest in those
measures which, by diffusing instruction, and raising the peo-
ple generally in the scale of civilization, would have an equally
direct and even a more powerful tendency to promote their
thispermanent welfare and happiness. Strongly impressed with
I shall be happy to be found associated with you,
in assisting to establish the most efficient system of moral,
intellectual, and religions education.
I know and admire the cheerfulness with which you are
bearing the severe pressure upon your industry, occasioned by
the late fearful calamity in Ireland, and I join in the general
approval of the measures taken for the relief and for the im-
provement of the people of that country; but should the enact-
ments now passing through Parliament be found insufficient to
