TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION
OF THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER.

GENTLEXINN,
TN deference to a requisition which embodies the wishes of a
largo and most respectable portion of the constituency of
South Lancashire, I present myself to your notice as a Candi-
date for the honour of being chosen to represent you in the
House of Commons, in the event of an early dissolution of
Parliament.
Circumstances, which have connected me with the trade, the
manufactures, and the agriculture of this part of the kingdom,
enable me to solicit your suffrages on the score of a community
of interest which makes your prosperity, or its re rse, in an
unusual degree, sensibly and immediately my o . That our
common prosperity may best be maintained a advanced un-
der those institutions of church and state, be ath the influence
of which it has sprung and flourished, rmly believe. If I
become your representative, I shall thercjibre oppose, to the ut-
most of my ability, any measures of chrige which may appear
to me to involve the subversion of thoso institutions, or such
inroad upon them as may appear designed or calculated to pre-
pare the was for that subversion.
Anxious, however, as I am to tphold all that is valuable in
ear establishments, and considering, under the circumstances
isf the time, the task of their conservation the prominent and
most arduous duty of your representative, I am not the less de-
sirous to aid the judicious and well-considered correction of de-
fect or abuse; and I am careful to distinguish between the
clamour for idefinite change, or for revolution clearly defined,
and the general desire of the people, or the just petition of any
portion of the people, for such alterations as may be justified
by demonstration of existing injury, or reasonable. calculation
of contingent good.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your
faithful and obedient servant,
Wortley, Dee. 3d, 1&34. FRANCIS EGERTON.

UrXNTLEMEN,
"IrN compliance with the urgent solicitation of a n
_IL influential body of the Eiettors of the Sout r-
ot Lancashire, I am induced to offer myself to
DIDATE for thelfepresentation of this Div'
of an approaching Election.

reonsider that the time has arrived who o man should refuse
to obey a public call to express and a np to those principles
which he conceives best calculated to promote the welfare and
prosperity of his Country.
I am firmly convinced that our Constitution is best secured to
us inviolate under the Institutions of Church and State combined,
beneath whichoit has so long flourished; and with that view I
would firmly -oppose any attempt either direct or indirect to se-
parate them ; nor would I consent to the Alienation of Church
Property in any part of the United Kingdom from strictly Ec-
olesiastical purposes.
• I profess myself a Conservative,and with those sentiments am
determined to uphold all our valuable Institatiuns, not blinding
myself to any defects or abuses which may have crept into them,
but willing and anxious to improve them by judicious correc-
tion, at the same time carefully distinguishing. between what is
sanctioned by manifest decay or existing injury, and what is
demanded by clamour and party virulence, at once involving
indefinite change and certain destruction.
I have only to add, that should I have the honour to become
one of your Representatives, it will be my earnest endeavour to
fetlfil, to the utmost of my abilities, the duties of that distinguished
office; and the consideration that I am employed in the service
of my native County, to which I am warmly attached, will be an
additional 'native for my zealous effort)] to promote its prosperity.

PALATINE OF LANCASTER.
GENTLEMEN.
ADissolution of the late Parliament having taken place, I
lose no time in respectfully announcing to yotynay inten-
tion of again becoming a Candidate for the ho r of repre-
senting the Northern Division of Lancashire i e House of
Commons.
In doing so, I venture to hope that my c duct in the late
Parliament, both as regards the local inte is of the County,
and the general duties of a representrai , has been such as
ict merit a continuance of that confi cc which 301) were
pleased to repose in me at the last Gen al Election.
I have steadily. supported those principles which I have pro-
tected frown the time I first had the honour of meeting you as a
Uunditate for your suffrages.
My main object, as it was toy main and most important duty,
has been to support our National .Institutious in their utmost
integrity, to protect them from all attacks, and to strengthen
them by such judicious alteratieus, and the removal of such
abuses, as the process of time or the particular circumstances
of the country might require.
I have not been inattentive to those burdens under which
this Country is now labouring, of which, since I have had the
honour of a seat in Parliement, I base endeavoured to exact as
great an alleviation, by the reduction of taxation and an econo-
my in the public expeuditure, as was consistent with public
faith and national credit.
I appeal with confidence to those of my Constituents who
have had opportunities of judging, whetherl have been negli-
gent or otherwise of those important interests of this great
County, which it is the more immediate duty of a Representa-
tive to take under his charge. In matters of a local nature, I
have pursued a course uninfluenced by private or partial feel-
ings, and in these, as in my public conduct generally, have
been alone guided by a desire to promote the welfare and hap-
piaess of all classes of the community in which I have the good
fortune to live.
Whether I hare succeeded in these objects it is for you to
determine; but I venture to look forward to tlfe approaching
Election with confidence, and shall then be ready to afford you
any farther explanation of my past conduct which you may be
pteased to demand from ins, and which I may have omitted
withim the prescribed limits of the present address.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF

LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,—
T had scarcely returnedtriv warmest acknowled "ent of
.1 the requisition with which -I have been honou from Li-
verpool, expressive of the desire of upwards of 3,7 individuals
to be permittedto put my name in nomination a a candidate for
the representation of your important tows • the event of an
early dissolution of parliament) than Ife t incumbent upon
me to address you without delay.
Gentlemen,— I shouldbe dead to every sense of public duty if,
at a time like this, I could for one moment hesitate to accede to
your wishes. With feelings of honest pride and sincere grati-
tude I obey the call with which you have been pleased to honour
me.

Gentlemen,—My political principles are known to you. You
know that whilst I am a firm supporter of our ancient institu-
tions—institutions upon which the liberty, industry, and pros-
perity of the country are based,—l am at the same time
sincerely desirous to correct any real abuses, or redress any
real grievances that in the true signification of the term may be
proved to exist. In this spirit 1 do declare that I shall endea-
vour to give effect to all such measures of reform as may tend
to insure good government, promote the happiness, and main-
tain the just rights of the people.
Gentlemen,—l yield to no man in earnest desire and in steady
determination to advocate that steady protection to which the
interests of every man and every class of ;persons iu this great
community are justly entitled. I make no inconsiderate
.pro-
mises. I give uo pledges. The duty of a representative is to
reserve to himself the power of legislating freely upon all mat-
ters for the general good, and if it be your will to return me
to parliament as your representative, I shall, in that capacity,
endeavour to prove myself worthy of your confidence, by zeal-
ous atteutiou to your local interests, and ardent advocacy of
the great commercial interests of your town, as well as those of
the empire at large.
Gentlemen,—l consider it to be the duty of a stateman to
endeavour to promote the well-being, comfort, and happiness of
the people in general, and to legislate with the view to mitigate,
but not to aggravate, the ills of life. It will ho ever my con-
stant aim to support measures calculated to ease the springs
of active industry and enterprise, and to protect the property
acquired thereby; and I will always give my sincere assistance
to all measures that may cause the institutions of Britain to
be beloved at home, and her name respected abroad.

Gentlemen,—lf placed in the high and responsible situation of
Representative for Liverpool, I would legislate for the general
good. All my energies should be directed to the advancement
of the interests of our country, by supporting and advocating
all measures tending to secure the peace, and to promote the
prosperity and the power of Old Enyland.
I have the honour to be,

Gentlemen,
With feelings of the deepest gratitude,
Your very faithful servant,
HOWARD DOUGLAS.

London, 18th December, 1834.

TO TILE ELECTORS OF LIVERPOOL.

%liolution

CLINTLEMEN,
xT 0 doubt can any longer be entertained that a
of Parliament is at hand; the time the ore is now
come for making a public statement of the gr ds on which I
shall solicit the high honour of being ch s a third time your
Representative.

In the first place I feel an honest consciousness, a conscious-
ness in which I am supported, as well by the cordial reception
which I have met with from all classes, whenever I have come
among you, as by the express testimonials of many Public
Bodies, that your local interests, as well general as ind►vidual,
have not suffered from any want of zeal and earnestness, how-
ever much they may have suffered from want of ability, on my
part. Indeed in your service, laborious as it is, there is always
this encouraging and elevating consideration, that from the high
station which your great community holds among the Cities of
the Empire, from its intimate connexion with every branch of
Domestic and Colonial Industry, your Local Interests are, for
the most part, the interests of the Empire at large ; and that
thus, whoever has served you with any degree of efficiency may
esteem himself to have rendered some service to his country.

Thus, whether engaged in securing to your Town the benefit
of an improved Local Court, or in resisting the attempt to ex-
tend the privilege of Warehousing to Inland Towns, a privilege
which, by the consent of the best authorities, can only, with
security to the Revenue and the Merchant, be conceded to the
Ports whether in endeavouring to convince the Government
and the House of Commons of the error into which they had
Nike in attempting to levy a discriminating Duty on Tea, there-
by giving a premium on the introductiou of the inferior qualities,
and introducing confusion and uncertainty into the trane; or in
persuadiug them to reduce the Duties on Articles of Foreign
Commerce • whether engaged in adjusting the terms on which
the vast and' incalculable resources of the Trade with China
should be thrown open to the enterprise of the British Mer-
chant; or, above all, in neeociating that arrangement, combin-
ing justice with humanity, -by which the great and generous,
though unexampled and perilous experiment of emancipating,
at once, eight hundred thousand slaves has been stripped of
much,of its peril, and enjoys the best chances of success of
which it is in its nature capable; in short, it whatever instances
I have been called upon to maintain or promote your Local
Interests, I have felt myself engaged more or less directly iu
promoting the general good.
FREEMEN,-111 upholding, as by . every tie of gratitude and
justice I was bound tb do, your rights and privileges against
those who have never ceased to revile and persecute you since
you have refused to become the tools of their ambition, I felt
that I was fighting the battle of the poorer classes of Electors
throughout the country, whose rights are an object of peculiar
hostility to those who claim to themselves exclusively the- title
of the " PEOPLE'S FRIENDS."
But, GENTLEMEN, I feel that higher interests now occupy
the minds of men. The great, the main principles of our Con-
stitution are assailed. The free exercise of the undoubted pre-
rogative of our King is questioned—if not in words, certainly
in deeds; the independence, nay the very existence of the
hereditary branch of our Legislature is attacked and derided;
every check and balance is to he swept away for the purpose of
substituting in the place of our free mixed monarchy the unmiti-
gated tyranny of one elective body. The Reform Act itself, no
longer held up to our veneration, as it was during the discussion
of the measure by its proposers and supporters, as a second
Charter of our Rights, as a final and satisfactory adjustment of
the Constitution of Parliament, is now treated as a mere step-
ping-stone to farther change ; as, indeed, of no other value than
as containing within itself the seeds of future and constant
change. It was not for such results that, in all its main provi-
sions, I supported the Reform Bill. I supported it as a measure
of peace, as a measure calculated, by removing not unreason-
able objections to the Constitution of the House of Commons,
to unite and knit together the hearts of all good men in defence
of our Institutions, not to encourage or enable bad men to de-
stroy them. In this hope I supported it, in this hope I will
maintain it; nor will I lend a hand to Radical Reformers to un-
settle its provisions, or pervert it from its original purpose.
Not only is our Civil Constitution attacked, but our Na-
tional Church is assailed with, if possible, still greater bitter-
ness and animosity. Her opponents have spoken out at last;
they no longer disguise that their ultimate end is her destruc-
tion as an establishment, and that their efforts for what they
now call Religious Liberty will never cease till that object is
attained. Of Religious Liberty I used to think I knew some-
thing,- having uniformly supported the removal of every civil
disability on account of difference in religious creed, and
having done so against my own interest, and in spite of party-
connexion, and when it was less than now the fashion of the
day; but by that term I find that I must now understand the
spoliation of Church Property, and the disavowal of all Reli-
gion by the State. To such an object, as involving, in my
opinion,-the greatest of all calamities that could betel a nation;
as shaking the foundation of all property by the too easily imi-
tated precedent for other spoliation which it would afford, and
of all order by the destruction of au institution which diffuses
respect for the laws of God and man to the remotest cor-
ners of the land ; as withdrawing from the poor and from the
rich the only permanent provision for their instruction in
Eternal Truth, the benefit of which is extended to all, and even
acknowledged by many of those who dissent from her Com-
munion; to such an object, or to any steps that lead to it, I
shall always offer the most zealous and unvarying opposition.
These feelings, however, will not prevent me from continuing
to lend a most favourable attention to every measure for the
removal of real grievances, for putting the Marriages of Dis-
senters on a footing not offensive to their religious principles, for
the establishment of a good system for the Registiation of
Births, es far au alteration of the system of Church Rates on a
principle similar to that proposed by the Government of Lord
Grey; and I foresee no real difficulty iu the way of au arrange-
ment of these points which shall be satisfactory to all who are
willing to be satisfied and who have no ulterior views. I shall also
be olad to see some arrangement made by which the benefits of
an °University Education may be opened to the Dissenters
without a Parliamentary interference with our ancient Uni-
versities, to which I cannot consent, and without a sacrifice of
that religious discipline and instruction which I feel to be a
distinguishing excellence of their present system, and which,
even by the avowal of those who are most anxious for the
change, would be incompatible with the free admission of per-
sons of different creeds to a common Education.

On the subject of Church Reform, in which the Curates' Bill
of my revered father gives me an hereditary interest, I need only
say, that I have long looked with anxiety for some well-consi-
dered measures which shall, provide for the less inconvenient
collection of the Revenues of the Church, and the more useful
distribution of them within her own pale, for the regulation and
diminution of pluralities and non-residence, for strengthening
her discipline, and enabling her better to adapt herself to the
wants of a growing population. •
- - -

These, then, are the principles on which I ask for your sup-
port. 1 will resist all' farther change in our parliamentary
system; Twill sispport the reform of all that is !Tally abuse in
Political, Ecclesiastical, or Municipal bodies; but! shall require
stronger evidence of the abuse, and look to safer counsel for the
remedy, than that of men who are hostile to the very objects for
which these bodies have been created.
If, by your kindness, I have again the honour of a seat in
Parliament, these are the principles on which I hope to be able
to support Lis Majesty's present government. I confess I feel
it to be of infinite importance, if they carry these principles
fully and fairly into effect, that they should receive from all real
friends of their country a most zealous and energetic support.
If they fail, what is our alternative ? A government willing to
"merge all minor differences" with Republicanism and Repeal,
replaced in power by the Radicals of England and the Agita-
tors of Ireland, and compelled, as a necessary consequence, to
'pay for that assistance, whether they wish it or not., a price too
costly for the British Constitutim to survive. Such, in my
opinion, is the option whiCh is, practically, now before us: For
my own part I cannot hesitate as to the choice. I trust I am
not presumptuous iu saying, that in these principles I sanguinely
hope to te.-.iut with your concurrence.
I am, Gentlemen,

Your obedient and fiutlaful Servauti
S...CNDON.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN IMVISION
OF THE COUNTY PALATINE OF LANCASTER.

GENTLBNIEN,
MILE expected Dissolution of Parliament being this day an-
nounced, I hasten again to offer myself as a CANDI-
DATE for the honour of representing the NORTHERN
DIVISION of this COUNTY. My public conduct, in 0{1163
and out of office, is before you ; my political principles are well
known to you; and my conscience tells me that I have taken no
step since I last was honoured with your confidence by which I
should deserve to forfeit it.

I am, as I ever have been, a Zealous and earnest advocate for
such reforms in our institutions, ecclesiastical as well as civil,
as may remove just causes of complaint, may extendetteir use:,
fulness, and increase their efficiency; 1 am, asi ever have
been, anxious to protect those institutions agai such innova-
tions as may endanger their safety or their e • tence. 1 ceased
to belong to the late administration becaus aving cordially co-
operated in the various measures of re which they had in-
troduced, I feared the destructive tend .y of an important step
to which they had been led to give th r assent; I declined to
join that which is now formed, because I had no public grounds
for confidence that they would boldly aui strenuously act upon
those principles of reform which I believe to be essential to the
national welfare. I come before you, therefore, unfettered by
any tie of party, bound only by those principles which I have
unvaryingly professed, on which I have constantly acted, and,
professiug which, I have already been twice honoured with your
support.
Should you again return me to Parliament, I go thither
pledged neither to support nor to oppose the present nor any
other set of ministers. Should I find that the King's government.
however composed, gives full and free scope to the principles to
which every day's reflection serves but to confirm my attach-
ment, I shall give them my humble but cordial aid towards
carrying them into effect; should 1 find them rashly endanger-
ing the institutions of the country, I shall labour earnestly to
protect those institutions ; should. I find them slow to remedy
acknowledged grievances, or madly resisting the rational desire
of teuiporate improvement, my voice will be but one.among the
vast majority of ray countrymen, who will compel them to ad-
vance in the steady progress of unflinching but constitutional
reform. _ .

Resolved to act on these principles, having no object in view
but the welfare of our common country, and ready to offer the
fullest explanation upon any part of my past condirct or future
intentions which you may deem to require it, I respectfully so-
licit at your hands the renewal of the high trust which you have
already twice confided to me.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
