refitted the Establishment with every article new, and from
the first houses, and hope, by unremitting attention and mo-
derate charges, to merit the favour of their Friends and Com-
mercial Gentlemen.

ftifunicipal Election.

TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME-STREET WARD

HAvING before come forward as a Candidate to repre-
-sent your Ward in the Town" Council, and having on
those occasions stated my views of the course of conduct to
be pursued by your Representatives, I should have satisfied
myself on the present occasion with the simple announce-
ment of my intentions, had I not found much misrepresenta-
tion, at least I may say much misapprehension,existing with
respect to my views. _

I have been opposed to what is termed a personal canvass,
thinking it better that the Electors should be left to deter-
mine for themselves, without the solicitation of any patty.
But I am now satisfied that a personal interview is almost
in any case necessary, more especially for the justification
of the Candidate; and did time permit, I should seek this;
but as I have not the opportunity, I must take leave thus to
address myself to you.
It is most gratifying to me to know, that in no instance
have I been objected to on personal grounds; that in almost
every instance I have been assured that if I bad gone, or
would come forward, on the "Reform" side, as it is termed,
I should have had the votes of the parties; but that if they
were to vote for me under present circumstances, it would do
the cause of Reform harm.

I must suppose (for I cannot get a clearer definition of the
grounds of objection than I have before stated) that I am
represented as opposed to Reform.
If by supporting Reform is meant a determination to ex-
clude every person, whatever their standing or qualifications
may be, unless they will commit themselves to one course of
action, and a determination to make politics the groundwork
of eligibility' for offices and situations, for contracts and for
employments, to such Reform I am opposed.
But I hesitate not to say, and refer to all my acts in the
old Council, that I am as sincerely disposed to further and
carry out every amendment of our Local Institutions, and
to improve and advance the prosperity of the Town, as any
Gentleman of the Council; giving, at the same time, that
due consideration to any matters which shall neither make
individual property the victim or the impediment of public
improvements.

Politics should not enter into a discussion such as this;
but they are so much made an ingredient, that it is scarcely
possible to avoid an allusion.
I have always advocated the throwing open the election of
Representatives, both for Parliament and for the Municipal
Council, though the consequence of the latter was the depri-
ving myself of a seat which I then held.

I have equally supported religious toleration; but I at the
same time avow, that I am most decidedly opposed to every
measure which shall have the effect of weakening the Chutch
Establishment ; feeling satisfied that its existence is the best
protection for religious toleration, and that no day 'sill have
to be more lamented by Dissenters of all classes than that
which shall put an end to the Church Establishment.

Your faithful servant,
