An address of this description is necessarily but a slight
summary of topics of leading interest at the moment. I have
msslves individually and confined myself to one object, that of giving you the means
s tst secure the re-elec- of judging whether, on the score of my opinions on subjects
-sswell, Esq., as their which have grown into recent importance, you have reason
to withhold the confidence you have twice reposed in me. I
might have contrived to obscure or postpone the enunciation
those opinions under the smoke of an attack on the conduct
id proceedings of a government to which I am opposed ;
at I have thought it fairer not to ntix up the exposition of
y own views with reflections ou the views or conduct of
hers.

I am ready, if called upon, for controversy on these mat-
ters, in its proper time and place. In one respect, perhaps,
I may enter at a disadvantage into the strife of parties. Bo-
dily infirmity, with pain and exhaustion in its train, cannot
confer the wisdom of age ; but I sensibly feel that it may
produce an indifference to the ordinary prizes and rewards of
political contention, which age itself does not always inculcate.
I have no ambititon left but that of carrying with me to re-
tirement, or elsewhere, the consciousness that I have not
neglected a legitimate occasion of serving the community in
which I live. Twice you have afforded me what seemed to
rue that occasion. It is now at your discretion to withdraw
or reimpose the obligation under which your confidence and
support have.laid me. Proud of that confidence as hitherto
enjoyed, and with a grateful recollection of that support
which no time or circumstance can obliterate, I respectfully
wait your decision.—l remain, Gentlemen, your obedient,
humble Servant, FRANCIS EGERTON.
