TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE
BOROUGH OF MACCLESFIELD.

GENTLEMEN, •
PARLIAMENT has at length responded to the national
voice, and the couAtry praYoor judgment against a cul-
prit administration. They have depressed and impoverished
the Church; they have shaken, by perpetual tampering, the
pillars of Public Credit, and paralysed industry; they have
squandered.the Revenue with corrupt profusion, nd aggra-
vated the burdens of Taxation ; they have piling the nation
into Wars, of which the glory is far more unc ain than the
cost; they have encouraged Mutiny, and ave ged their own
sins on the victims of delusion ; they h v visited Poverty
with the penalties due to crime alone, ai ave crushed the
poor. •
I solicit your suffrages on the assurance of assisting heartily
with voice and vote to restore to this patient and long-suffer-
ing kingdom able counsels and honest counsellors ; to revive
that good government for want of which England droops the
head and languishes.
Give us but a Cabinet in whose principles we can trust,
Conservative in statesmanship, intolerant of abuse, com-
manding by its wisdom the homage of dread abroad, by its
integrity the tribute of confidence at home. and our Manu-
factures will start up with elastic energy from their present
grievous depression—Commerce will expand again, under a
renewed sense of SeCurity—the hollow murmurs of alarm
will die away, and this troubled Empire will rejoice once
more in the sunshine of content. _

Should you honour me with your confidence, I will strive
to abolish the unconstitutional powers of the Poor-law Com-
missioners ; and, unless some spirit of humanity be intro-
duced into that harsh law, endeavour to expunge it from the
Statute Book altogether.
I am an advocate for the Lowest Scale of Duty upop Fo-
reign Corn, varying in amount, that can suffice to protect the
consumer in times of scarcity, and the grower in periods of
abundance—the only sure safeguard against dearth.
Reserving for personal communication a more explicit
avowal of opinions, I conclude my petition for the high trust
of one of your Representatives in the new House of Com-
mons, with a promise that, to the best of my ability, should
you ratify these pretensions, I will be a diligent steward of
your private interests, a faithful guardian of your public
rights.

I am, respectfully, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. C. TOWNSEND
