TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS
OF LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,
FEEL.the distinguished honour which so many respectable
-11 Electors of the Town of Liverpool have conferred upon me,
' by their iuvitation to become a Candidate for the Represen-
tation of this loyal and ancient Borough in Parliament._ .
„ Gentlemen,•=l obey this call with feelings of honest pride,
because it is made in consequence of my principles being in
• accordance with your own.
Iu order to prevent the possibility of any misunderstanding
relative to the views which I entertain upon matters of great
• Political importance, I shall briefly state them.
Gentlemen,—l am a friend to Sates, COLONIES, and Com-
• !Epee. Having had the honour of representing my Gracious
Sovereign iu the British Colonies of North America, and in
such distinguished station, having had frequent opportunities
01dealing with questions of the utmost importance to the Com-
eaercial prosperity of England, I am convinced that every
tuan who has the real CoMuiereVY greatness of his Cunsitiy
heart, can arrive at no other conclusion, than that the power,
wealth, and prosperity of Great Britain are dove-tailed, as it
were, with the prosperity of her Colonial possessions.
Gentlemen,—l yield to none in feelings of inimanity—to
• hone in the due appreciation of rational freedomktnd I lament
that any Legislature, but particularly a .137/Ish Legislature,
should ever have invested man with a pro erty in his fellow
than. It is therefore, that I, in common t a vast portion of
my countrymen, am unfeignedly de -r s of seeing this blot
upon our national character for ever aced; but then I shall
inn at an object so. dear to every 1 er of freedom and huina-
.
rnty, by an equitable regard to vested rights, and a fervent
anxiety to make the measure of Emancipation a 'benefit and
hot a curse to the slave.
When the evidence of the conflicting opinions entertained
• upon the Corn Laws, shall come before Parliament, I will give
to this important question the fullest consideration in my
Power. I have no biaS opposed. to the public weal, and shall
,support such measures as appear to me most condueiv'C'to the
'hest interests of my country. . .
I am an unflinching upholder of the dignity of our ancient
Monarchy. I am a supporter Of the' Established Church. I
Conceive it to be the butwark of genuine Christianity, whether
within the pale of its own communion, or in the ample range
of its extensive toleration. •I. will aid every measure origi-
' hating with the friends of the Church, for a more just and
• e4ual distribution of. its temporalitips,=such measure being
dictated by a strict and`religious regard to the interests and
Permanency of our national and orthodox establishment.
I am an enemy to the Vote by Ballot in returning Members
to Parliament, because I consider such a. mode of proceeding
to be derogatory to the character of Englishmen.
I shall invariably support every measure of Economy in the
various branches of Public EXpenditirre, which I conscien-
tiously believe- to be compatible with the integrity. of National
Faith and the maintenance of 'the Institutions of the State, so
" by all means to relieve all classes; but especially the indus-
' trious classes ; from the pressure of unnecessary taxation.
, Gentlemen,— I have now laid before you my principles. I
have endeavoured to state them clearly. I will act up to them.
,I have too high regard for the exalted situation which I so
lately filled, too much respect for the unsullied profession to
which I have the honour to belong, and too just a sense of
,those feelings, which every gentleman is bound to cherish, to
L'eguilty of a quibble.
„ Geutiemen,-1 am in your hands, and if returned by you to
arliament, J shall devote myself zealously to the discharge of
those important duties, necessarily attached to the Represen-
tative of the Second- Commercial town in the empire.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful Servant,
HOWARD DOUGLAS.
