lIVING publicly declared the rind principles aeon
W Phich I offer myself to represent thisCimotPy in Patlia-
mem, it is not my intention to make it personal canvas*.
Sycophancy of Candid rtes hefore their election, and indif-
ference to their Constituents nfterward:. have been 10 frequently
di,plaived, that the im-incerity of Electioneering professinrw
have become a bye word, and a scuff amongst the honest and
claultilotente put of mankind.
I base never had the pith of rased's% serenity, and tam ton
late in life to take a nett (nurse.
The cause that 1 embark in is yours. If there be any Free-
holders who, feeling the national grievances does nit trace them
to dietitian.. whence they spring, and perceive the necessity of
exercising his starage wit bout expellee to the Candidate. and
of electing such men as pledge them-elves to stand up tor the
People's rights. nothing that I could urge in person could im-
pte-s it upon him, but time very soon may.
I ion not of that inactive diyosition, that to avoid trouble
would omit any net of civility and attention towards you ; hut I
think I pay much greeter respect to your understanding by
stating my principles to yll4l (as I have done in my public ad-
vertisements), mid leaving them to their ow n operations upon
your mind, than I should by atteripting to gain your favour
through personal solidintion. I therefore tike this mode iif re-
questing ymtr support and inheres, nt the approaching Election.
And 1 reinnin our faithful friend and servant,
Hearin!, Berks, Sept.Ql. WILLIAM EIA LLETT.
