THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF
LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN,—
Ihad scarcely returned my warmest acknowledgment of
the requisition with which I have been honoured from Li-
verpool, expressive of the desire of upwards of 3,700 individuals
to be permitted to put my name in nomination as a candidate for
the representation of your important town (in the event of an
early dissolution of parliament) than I felt it incumbent upon
me to address you without delay.
Gentlemen,--I should be dead to every sense of public duty if,
at a time like this, I could for one moment he • ate to accede to
your wishes. With feelings of honest pri and sincere grati-
tude I obey the call with which you have en pleased to honour
me.
Gentlemen,—My political principles re known to you. You

.now that whilst am a firm supp- rof our ancient institu-
tions—institutions upon which th iberty, industry, and pros-
perity of the country are based,-1 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 I 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.
Gentlemeu,—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 in this great
community are justly entitled. I make no inconsiderate Jiro-
mises. I give no pledges. The duty of a representatiie 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 ioe
to parliament as your representative, I shall, in that capacity,
endeavour to prove. myself worthy of your confidence, by zeal-
ous attention to your, local interests, anct ardent advocacy of
the great commercial interests of your town, as well as thhse of
the empire at large.
Gentlemen,—l consider it to be the duty of a staternan 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 be 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 England.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
With feelings of the deepest gratitude,
Your very faithful servant,
HOWARD. DOUGLAS.
