TO THE BURGESSES OF LIME-STREET WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
AFTER repeated Solicitations from a numerous and highly
respectable body of the Electors in this Ward, to allow
myself to be nominated as a Candidate at the next Munici-
pal Election, I feel myself bound to accede to their wishes.
Having resided upwards of Thirty Years in the Ward, and
so recently filled the highest Honorary Office connected with.
the Parochial management of this large and populous Parish ;
I deem anything I can say with respect to my Public conduct
unnecessary.
Should I be so fortunate as to be the object of your choice,
I will use my utmost endeavours to promote the welfare of
the good old Town of Liverpool, and discharge the important
duties of Councilman, independently, and I hope usefully to
the Inhabitants generally.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN KILSHAW.
Gloucester-street, 20th October, 1840.

TO THE ELECTORS OF WEST DERBY WARD.
GENTLEMEN.
WITH much reluctance, and only in compliance with the
urgent and oft-repeated solicitations of the Friends
of Reform, have I at length consented to allow myself to be
put forward as Candidate for the suffrages of the Independent
Electors of your Ward.
I am most unfriendly to the heated party strife now raging
in this Town, and throughout the kingdom, believing, as I
do, that many measures of vast public importance have been,
and will continue to be, sacrificed, whilst this most prejudi-
cial excitement shall remain predominant in the minds of the
community. The evil is great, and the cure, I fear, far dis-
tant, so long as the passions rather than the judgments of
men shall be appealed to, and Christian charity be displaced
by the prevailing religious intolerance.
I am a Reformer from principle, and not from interest ;
and believe that all men sharing the burdens of the State
ought alike to partake of its civil and religious liberties. I
believe that all monopoly is in the end injurious, and affirm
that all legislation ought to have for its constant aim the hap-
piness of the greatest numbers.
Should these sentiments so far accord with your own feel-
ings as to confer upon me the honour of being your Repre-
sentative at the Council Board, I will pledge myself to the
conscientious discharge of the Duties pertaining to such a
position, in accordance with the principles thus generally
marked out.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen
Your obedient Servant,
LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, JUN.
