TO THE 'MUNICIPAL ELECTORS POT
VAUXHALL WARD.
GENTLEMEN,—The term for which you elected me as one
of your Representatives‘will shortly expire.
A Deputation of Gentlemen Electors of your Ward having
waited upon me, and presented a Requisition, numerously
and respectably signed•brparties of all shades of opinion, I
have no hesitation in tendering my beet exertions fonyetir
acceptance.
I feel less difficulty ibriew coming forward as a Candidate,
for, since I have had the honour to represent you, I have the
satisfaction to know my-conduct in the Council has met with
the uniform approbation -of the Ward.
Three years ago you elected me on two distinct principles,
which, I need kardly say, were quite in accordancosvith my
own, namely, the entire absence of politics in local affairs,
and strict economy in the management of the Corporate
Purse, with a due -regard to the good old town's various re-
quirements and upholding her interests.
I think it wilt be found I have kept these principles Tan-
stantly in view; and d believe there is not an elector vtho will
say that I forgot the interests of the Ward in support of any
party, political or religious, in the Council. I have uniformly
voted against the increase of official salaries when I have
considered them well paid; and, whenever public money •waa
to be expended. I nave looked carefully how it was to bequest
beneficially and economicallyspent, having a deep sympathy
for the difficulties and privatioas local taxation entail on the
industrious ratepayers.
Having, from my youngest 'days, had my interest bound
up.in the prosperity of your Ward, it is apparent that what
is injurious to you must he so -to me, and that we must be
equally benefited by its improvement.
Finally, the principles on which you first elected me are
unchanged. If you should again do me that honour, Ihope
that the experience I have had in the Council duties will en-
able me more efficiently to do justice to the trust reposed in me.
I remain, Gentlemen, your faithful servant,
WILLIAM NICHOLSON.

GENTLEMEN Having received a Requisition numerously

forwardun,
I have pleasure in acceding to your request. In doing so I
cannot but take the opportunity of thanking you for
fldence you have placed in me for the last six years;
thtehecorne--
collection of which will stimulate me to renewed exertions in
order to maintain your good opinion.
When I entered the Council I determined to act indepen-
dently of all parties, and to judge every subject by its own
merits. I have endeavoured to carry out that resolution
honestly and faithfully.
Believing, as I do, that it is our duty, not only to promote
the trade and commerce of the port, but also to attend to the
improvement of the social condition of our fellow-townsmen,
I have cordially supported those efforts which have been made
to place the means of knowledge within the reach of all
classes by the establishment of a Free Library, the extension
of which I hope to see productive of great benefit.
I shall support all measures calculated to promote the
health and comfort of the poorer classes of the community,
believing that the neglect of so clear a duty would entail dis-
tress and misery upon all. from the lowest to the highest.
I have reason to hope that means for reviving the trade in
ship-building will very soon be found. The importance of
—.4, in connexion with our general trade, is much greater
than may -* first sight appear ; and no exertion shall be
wanting on my Pal, I- r-Amote this object.
Should you, gentlemen, tninic Inv nf 'your renewed
confidence, it will be nisr. desire to act in such a fix...so,. 0.
