TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON.
GeNTLeINEN,
TO the state of the Poll I invite your serious at.
tuition, depending for success on the pure suffrages if
Freemen, and on their spontaneous aid. I cannot discipline
your vow:, but I am prepared for all the fluctuations which
during this Election may occur. In my mind, she tidynnenge
gaiewd by the other Candidates for the honour of representing
you in Parliament, eveites Si,. apprehension as to the ultimate
result. 1 am, however, thereby induced to request that the ex-
pression of your sentiments in my favour may be as speedy nod
universal as your various engagements will permit. By *itch
prompt attendance, nud by your 'lenge drools, you will soot
merely eff•ctunte a tardy and hard-woo triumph, but will en-
ure an immediate and derisive 'terrify to the great cause of
Peace, Itef.:rin, and Religious Liberty, which Ne ore isitenipt-
lug to support.
I have, the honour to be, Cieudemem,
Your most obedient bumble servant. •
