TO THE BURGESSES OF GREAT GEORGE WARD.

GENTLEMEN.
HAVING been called upon by a numerous and respecta-
.li ble portion of the Electors to offer myself a CAN DI-
DATE for representing your interests in the Municipal
Council, in compliance with such request, I deem it neces-
sary that I should sacrifice some personal convenience,
rather than jeopardise the Conservative cause.
Having for many years carried on an extensive business'in
your Ward, and during that time become intimately ac-
quainted with many of you, I think it unnecessary for me to
enter into minute detail of my political principles; I am sure
they are well known to all of you. In the Elections, both of
Parliamentary and Municipal Representation, I have been
always at,my post, as the staunch supporter f the Conser-
vative cause. _ _

I have ever been and will still continue the firm, unflinch-
ing, and uncompromising defender of OUR GLORIOUS CON-
STITUTION IN CHURCH AND STATE. I love my country,
and deeply should I regret that the rude and destructive hand
of Democracy were permitted to injure those blessed bulwarks
of our constitution which, in my mind, can only be pre-
served by imparting to the rising generation a SOUND SCRIP-
TURAL EDUCATION.

If elected as your Representative, you may rest assured
that I will to the best of my ability promote your interests
with zeal and fidelity.

I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
THOMAS ROYDEN.

duct in Council for the last six• years, at the same time

With great respect,

TO THE BURGESSES OF SCOTLAND WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
lAM now about to appear before you for the third time as
CANDIDATE for the Representation of your Ward.
After having sat for Six Years in the Council, it would be
idle in me to make any professions of my politics or views
upon the subject—you have had sufficient experience of them.
The kindness I met with on the fOrmer occasions inducetme
to hope that I may meet a similar reception on this ; and I
can only promise to use my best endeavours to merit a con-
- mance of your good will.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
RD. HOUGHTON.

GENTLEMEN,
AT the request of a large body of the Electors of this
Ward, I again present myself for your suffrages.

Your obedient Servant,

TO THE ELECTORS OF PITT-STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
A HIGHLY-RESPECTABLE and influential Deputation
1-1 from your Ward having waited upon me, requesting
that I would allow myself to be put in Nomination as a CAN-
DIDATE to Represent you in the Council of this Borough,
I cheerfully comply with your invitation.
My ancestors and myself have carried on business as Mer-
chants in this my " Native Town" for upwards of half a
century, which has naturally enabled me to acquire both
knowledge and experience in local affairs.
My principles are, a firm attachment to the institutions of
our beloved country, strictly Conservative, to repair and
improve, not to pull down and destroy.
If by your exertion 1 am elected to the honourable posi-
tion of your Representative, rest assured that I will watch
with diligence and care the interests of this great commercial
and enterprising community, and will endeavour to promote
the welfare and prosperity of your Ward in particular.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and obedient Servant,
JOHN TAYLOR.
