CORRESPONDENCE.

ELECTION SQUABBLING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND.4RD.
have been amused in perusing the various letteld
which have appeared in the local press, bearing upon the late,
election for this borough; and though most of the writers °'
those letters may feel justified in having obtruded upon tile
public in consequence of the- direct allusion which may hale
been made to them; yet I cannot trace the object which intli"
viduals of whose names no mention has been made, can per
sibly have, in volunteering their effusions. An individual, wile
signs himself " John Twiname," in Gore's paper of yesterdai,
relates a rigmarole sort of conversation which took place
his counting-house, relative to his having been canvassed
some friends in the interest of Lord Sandon, and the ground
for obtruding himself upon the public, seems to be an idea
floating in his mind, that He was the Merchant in Brunswick'
street, who had been so canvassed. Doubtful, however, of Jje
own memory in detailing the conversation correctly,. he is ce
roborated (though very clumsily) by another individual, alb°
signs " F. Maxwell."
I search, in vain, for the names of the one or the other of those
important personages having been mixed up publicly with the hr
calities of the election: I search, in vain, for any new light wbiell
they have thrown upon the various rumours which have given I'lo
to literary productions in the espousal of one side or the other;
and I am really at a loss even to guess the object which those
gentlemen have in view in appearing before the public; except
it be the gratification of their own vanity, by endeavouring to
prove to the inhabitants of this town, their deep sense of the
purity of election laws, and, at the same time, their utter disre-
gard for the grammatical laws established by Lindley MurraY'
I am a family man, and do not wish to have the taste of DI/
young children vitiated by their reading such productions, 04
in the columns of a common newspaper; and I would therefor6,l
respectfully recommend "J. Twiname," and " F. Maxwell,
to confine themselves, as heretofore, to the sifting of matter/
connected with their trade in grain; and to abstain, for the,
future, from attempting to winnow the unsound from the seise
part of political locality.

MR. EWART :-THE SLAVERY QUESTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STaNDABD.

Stn,—The consistency of Mr. Ewart has called in Tier
tion, and more particularly by yourself. I have only to expel
my hope that you will continue to contrast his declarations aa
actions, his sentiments one week with those of the next. lb.:
task, I admit, will be tedious ; but it is one from which it ''
your duty, as a public Journalist, not to shrink.
ett
Mr. Ewart came forward as the disciple of Canning a".r
Huskisson. This is admitted. But, that he has deserted tbeli
principles involves only a general charge.of inconsistencY•
will now bring under your notice a particular one. The foils!:
ing is an extract from his speech, on his first appearance befog
the Merchants of the Town, on the 15th October, 1830:
of
" There is a question connected with another hemisphere
deep and important interest to our Town. Gentlemen, the i
is no one who hears me, none, lam sure of the great owners °I.
property in our West India Colonies, who is not an advocate ti
general freedom. Yet there is no one, I hope, so infatuate(' o
to suppose that freedom is licentiousness, or that
_hasty and
temperate measures are consistent with the happiness of the 51011 e
more than with the interests of the master. The interests of t ,
two move, in my opinion, pari passu. No amendment, 10
artificial a system, can be otherwise than gradual, and we coins'`
a double injustice—to the freeman and the bondsman—if tee
late a property which we ourselves have sanctioned, and which gl
grown beneath our own legislation. RIGHTS so long acknowletl
cannot be taken away without a liberal compensation:"
idt•
I would ask your readers to contrast the above with
Ewares sentiments as so recently declared on our hustire
and then to ask themselves, dispassionately, what descrilio
tion of property can be safe in the keeping of a legislator 01
declares certain steps to be a violation of property, in 11°;',1,
and, in 1832, declares his readiness to mount those steps,--4:1,e
in 1830, acknowledges a right which he disavows in. 1832.
march of revolution in France is not forgotten by all. Hist°ll.e
and experience are not treated, by all, as of no worth; and
question I ask is a serious one, and one which affects 7of
What becomes of Mr. Ewart's consistency, or of his regard
property? This question will, no doubt, be satisfactorily eV'
swered, on behalf of Mr. Ewart, by some of your able collier,
tors,—worthy and disinterested mouth-pieces, doubtless. I 1°
already reconciled myself to a most abject apology to tboe:j,
liberal gentlemen, for bringing this question under notice, a 1
feeling assured that I shall be most satisfactorily answered'e
only request the favour of their saying what penance will at°ht,
or my presumption. I shall, perhaps, be told that I toitii
with as much truth and justice, question the veracity of 611
tor, as the consistency of Mr. Ewart : but no matter,
