TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD

GENTLEMEN,
AVING, a few days since, been honoured with a Requi-
-11 sition, signed by a numerous and respectable portion of
the Electors of your Ward, inviting me to become a CAN-
DIDATE for the seat in the Town-council which becomes
vacant in November next ; and having been received by you
last evening, at a Public Meeting, in a most flattering man-
ner, I cannot hesitate to accept your invitation ; and, in
doing so, I beg you will permit me to offer my warmest thanks
for these marks of your distinction.
I am fully aware that a personal Canvass is, in most cases,
equally as disagreeable to the Electors canvassed as to the
Candidate, but still, being unknown to many of you, I shall
endeavour, between this period and the day of Election, to
become personally acquainted with each of you.
It is, perhaps, necessary for me to declare that I am a sup-
porter of the general policy of those distinguished indivi-
duals who have been recently called to the Councils of her
Majesty, believing, as I do, that their firm and unhesitating
manner of conducting the public affairs will be the most ad-
vantageous to this great Empire, and tend to restore confi-
dence in the Government. lam ready to admit that there
have been several good measures carried by the late Admi-
nistration, and which, during their discussion, received the
support of some of the present Ministers.
The question which now engages the attention of the coun-
try, as regards the course at present pursued by the American
Government, is one in which this Town is most deeply
interested, from its connexion with the American Trade, and
I trust that every exertion will be used to prevent hostilities
between the two countries, which could not but prove most
calamitous to this great commercial port.
It is to be regretted that so much party feeling has been
introduced into some of the local questions which have been
brought before the Town-council; but it is gratifying to ob-
serve
serve that 'the important question regarding the Dock
Estate has been so equitably arranged.
If I should have the honour to be returned as your mem-
ber to the Town-council at the approaching Election, allow
me to assure you, that nn exertion vii my part shall be
wanting to promote the general interests of the Town.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
JOHN B. LLOYD.
Liverpool, October 14, 1841.
