FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1833.

These supercilious accusers charge me with having "alter-
nately praised and calumniated. every party in the town and
state." True it is that I was associated in political sentiments
with the North Dock party ; but. when I saw them raise their
hands against the prosperity of Sunderland, frustrate its hopes
of local improvement, and seek to aggrandize themselves by its
ruin and at its expense; and when I. (who was one of the par-
ties'espeeially -entrusted with the care of your interests in this
matter) heard some other "consistent gentlemen," from pure
party spirit, justify and defend these jobbers in their rapacious
career, I leave you to judge whether I could take any other
course than change from a co-operator to an opponent; from.
an approve. to an indignant condemner of them, their mea-
sures, and their associated defenders.

BRITISH and FOREIGN
PAPER-HANGING WAREHOUSE,

No. 55, near the top. of BOLD-S TREE T, Liverpool.
4(1117,01iGE BARKER begs leave to announce that he has
• opened. the above Premises for the sale of PAPER-
-1.-I.N.GINGS, and respectfully solicits a share of the public
patronage..
An extensive StOck and great variety b of British and
Foreign Manufactures will be constant! hand, which he is
enabled to suppay upon as reasonable ter► as any in the trade,
and he trusts that in alt other respects his arrangements as a
Paper-hanger will be found to give every satisfaction to those
who may please to favour him with their commands.

True it is that I was an amnirer'of the present ministry, when
struggling for reform. But when in some important matte's
they appeared to me to deviate from the true spirit. of reform;
when they voted a large amount of the people's money to assist
the Russians to carry on a cruel war against the brave Poles;
when they were daily planting their relations and fiends upon
office and the p►►blic purse; when-the long Grey List met my
eyes and those of the people; and still more now, when they
have voted against a Paroamentary scrutiny of pensions and
sinecures, that eat up the wealth and prosperity of the country;
when they have jollied in an unjust and unnecessary war
against one of our oldest and most faithful allies, to the preju-.
dice of the. shipping and commercial interests of the empire.;
and when they have voted against inquiry into the distress of
the nation; and when we have witnessed their adherents at-
tempt. to control the independence of the northern division of
this county, as well as that of this borough—l ask if, iu the ex-
ercise of my opinions as a free-horn Englishman, I am not at
liberty (however I may applaud some of the measures which
have distinguished the present administration) to.expre.,s my
disapproval of other measures which, in my judgment, are pre-
judicial to the best interests of the country, without bringing
upon myself all the vulgar vituperation of unprincipled hbei-
lers ?

But it is not the malignity of any evil slanderers, or any com-
mittee of evil slanderers, who can• defame me—l know my cha-
racter is beyond the reach of their malevolence. They may
rage in their late disappointment, and we shall see what they
will, in their ravings, throw. up against me next. I say to them
and all my libellers, " You bite against a file—cease, vipers."
But it is not against me alone these malicious parasites direct
their vengeance. You have seen, that prior to the late elec-
tion, they were the zealous supporters of the South Dock Bill,
now before Parliament at the instance of the Commissioners of
the Wear, .and that one of them was appointed as a Deputy to
proceed to London, at the pubic expense ; but since the exe-
fiat]; you have witnessed the tukewarmness of some, the direct
hostility of others, and the written protest of the worthy De-
puty against the very measure which before their defeat they
pretended to be the object of their anxious solicitude and eat-
nest cat e.

. I admire those worthy Censors of the conduct of others.
Precious brawlers truly about the ,virtue of consistency ! Let
us beware of a faction who are capable of sacrificing the hest,
interests of our town to the gratification of their views of party
power, and their plans of tyrannical ambition.
The free exercise of your exctive franchise is your right as
Englishmen; you know the combination which has been.
formed to controul and subvert it. On the last memorable oc-
casion you nobly triumphed. By your abhorrence of the mean-
ness• of serviiity—by your admiration of the dignity of freedom—
by your love of country—l conjure you to ►cumin united. Let
no stratagem of yoor now wed known enemies deceive you. I
reiterate, let one determination animate every heart, that " Sun-
derland is free, and shall for ever be free ;" and I repeat the
earnest wish, that "the banners of your independence may
long wave in victory in the winds of Heaven."—l have the ho-
nour to be,

Gentlemen,
Your faithful and devoted Servant,
JOSEPH JOHN WRIGHT.
