ESQ. SIT DAILY at the CONSERVATIVE OFFICE, 24,

EDMUND MOLYNEUX, Chairman.
May 13th, 1844.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
DT the sudden decease of your late most respected
representative, the Honourable R. BOOTLE Wit.
DRAB AM, the trust committed to him by you, and fulfilled
through a period of several years, with untiring assiduity,
has returned into your own bands, and it has become
requisite for you to elect a successor. It is with great
diffidence that I offer myself to fulfil those duties, from a
deep sense of their importance, and of the vast interests
involved in the discharge of them ; but having received
the honour of a REQUISITION CALLING UPON
ME TO COME FORWARD, and signed by many of
the most influential Gentlemen of South Lancashire, I
have ventured to assent to their request, in the hope that
the same principles which guided you upon the late
Election, and which were then so strongly expressed that
no opposing Candidate was found on the hustings, may
still prevail, and that my claim to your support may be
allowed to rest on them rather than on any grounds of au
individual character.
I am sincerely attached to our Constitution, and to the
Established Church under which we live, and' earnestly
desirous of maintaining the Rights and Liberties, both
Civil and Religious, of all classes of the people of this
Country. That these general principles are acceptable to
the Electors of this Division of the County, I have no
reason to doubt; hut I am quite aware that there are
other questions of a more specific character on which
there is much greater difference of opinion. That a free-
dom of Trade as great as is compatible with the other
interests inseparably connected with those of Commerce
is indispensable to the welfare of the large and enterpris-
ing towns of this Division, cannot for a moment be
doubted, and I always shall be desirous to promote their
interests to the utmost of my power. I have seen with
great satisfaction that since the accession of the present
Ministry to office, these views have been fully recognised
and carried into effect by a considerable modification of
our Corn-laws, and by a complete revision of the Tariff
of Import Duties, and the result has been a most gratify-
ing improvement in the Trade of this District, and the
prosperity of the Country. To what extent any further
alterations may be desirable it would be premature to
consider, until the present system shall have had a fair
and full trial, but I avow myself decidedly opposed to
those who, under a pretext of the necessities of Com-
merce, would violently and recklessly sweep away all
protective regulations in favour of that other section of
the community employed in the cultivation of the land,
whose welfare is not less vital to t he country than that of
Commerce itself.
I have thought it necessary to be thus explicit on this
point, as it is at once a matter of the greatest importance
to the Electors of this Division, that the interests of
Commerce and Manufactures should be always a primary
object with the Legislature, and because I am aware that
it is in all probability the chief topic on which you will be
urged to support another Candidate, whose Address has
already been circulated among you.
It will be my desire to explain myself more fully and
personally to all the Electors as early as possible.
1 am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant.
WM. ENTWISLE.

TO THE ELECTORS Of SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
A DEPUTATION of Electors from Manchester, Li-
verpool, and other important parts of the County,
having requested me to allow myself to be nominated to
supply the vacancy in your representation caused by the
lamented death of the Honourable R. BOOTLE WILIIRA.•
HAM, I have yielded to their request, and beg to announce
myself a CANDIDATE for the vacant seat for SOUTH
LANCASHIRE.
I am quite sensible that there are many gentlemen to
whom this important trust might be delegated with much
greater advanta2e to your interests, if they could, with
convenience, devote the time necessary for your service.
I am, therefore, very far from arrogating to myself any
claim to your votes on private grounds.
Attached from principle and long habit to the Liberal
party, I shall, if elected, give my decided support to every
measure which will tend to advance the education and to
improve the condition of the great mass of our country-
men, convinced, as I am, that no greater security can be
given to the free institutions of England than that which
arises from the increased intelligence and prosperity of
the industrious classes.

Upon many subjects of great interest which occupy a
prominent place in the public mind it isimpossible to
dwell in the limits of this addeess. There is, however,
one question upon which I firmly believe the welfare of
the nation mainly depends, which involves at orce all in-
terests, and which, in my opinion, is quite as important
to the preservation of the property of the Landlord and
the interests of the Farmer, as it is to those of the Ma-
nufacturer, the Merchant, and the Artisan. Upon this
most important question I desire to be dist'nctly under-
stood. It is a vital question. We may settle many other
matters of minor importance at our leisure, but this it is
dangerous to postpone. I have been all my life engaged
in commerce, 1 have witnessed much of the growth of
our trade and manufactures, and I have also had opportu-
nities of knowing something of the trade of other coun-
tries ; and I am convinced that nothing can enable us to
maintain our position among other nations but PERFECT
FREEDOM OF TRADE.
With unrestricted commerce and unfettered industry
we can defy competition in the wide range of manufac-
turing production, and our people might soon become, by
the result of their own exertions, the most happy and con-
tented in the world.
Here, in South Lancashire, if any where, the cause of
free trade ought to triumph. I offer myself to your
choice as one of its most strenuous advocates ; and whilst
I regret that a more able person, entertaining these views,
has not been found to solicit your suffrages, I can sin-
cerely assure you that no man can be more anxious than
I am to witness the speedy success of this great cause.
I have the honour to be,
Your faithful servant,

Fr AND H. SMITH'S FLUID EXTRACT OF
• SENNA, prepared in Vacuo. sold in Bottles at
2s. 6d., 55., and 10s. each.
This is a pure Extract of Senna, in a high state of
perfection, prepared in Vacuo. It is an efficient and
easy purgative, in small doses ; those for adults even
seldom exceeding one or two teaspoonfulls, and produces
no sickness or griping in its operation. Not only are the
nauseous taste and smell corrected, but the taste is ren-
dered positively agreeable and inviting; conseqnently,
with this preparation, the difficulty attending the giving of
Senna to children is entirely removed. Instead of the
loathing which the bulky dose of the ordinary Senna Tea
produces, the Fluid Extract of Senna is taken by them
with the greatest readiness, and even with a relish,
The following complimentary testimonial has been vo-
luntarily published by Dr. Christison, the distinguished
Professor of Materia Medics in the Edinburgh University :
" The Fluid Extract of Senna is now used very largely
in this city, (Edinburgh,) and by many medical practi-
tioners, as well as myself, almost to the exclusion of every
other preparation. I have no doubt it is the best form, in
every respect, which has yet been proposed."
Observe, the actual signature of the Inventors, on n
engraved label, is attached to the wrapper, on each
sts,2l,
