TO THE FREE BURGESSES AND OTHER .ELEC-
TORS OF THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.
GENTLEMEN,
AFTER. several years absence, passed abroad in the ser-
vice of my Country, I am again brought forward by a
Requisition from the Conservatives of Liverpool, as a
CANDIDATE for the Representation of this Borough in
Parliament.

I engage, at once, in the honourable undertaking to which
you have invited me, and devoutly do I hope that its results
may be such as to enable me to be useful to those Interests,
local and general, which you have at stake, and which are so
intitnately mixed up with those of the Empire, of which
Liverpool forms so important an emporium.
I renew, at this juncture, with infinite satisfaction, the
engagements under which we, as a Party, and I as your Can-
didate, undertook to fight, against fearful odds, the battle
of our Protestant Constitution in CHURCH AND STATE,
which the Conservatives of Liverpool have now carried'to
so triumphant an issue, as well in Municipal as in Parlia-
mentary Representation. I have ever watched with unceas-
ing interest the progress you were making towards this, and
I now congratulate you, and the Conservatives throughout
the Empire, to whom you have held out a noble example, in
having at length returned a House of Commons that gives
its Confidence to-a Conservative Administration.

I need not, Gentlemen, I am persuaded, occupy your time
with fresh declarations of my principles. They have already
been fully and generally declared on two former occasions.
Upon a careful revision of these, and of all the questions
and interests to which they relate, and applied to present
circumstances, I find no expressions to regret, no opinions
to retract or modify. With reference to the most important
of the questions which occupy the public mind, viz. :—TH E
CHURC El QUESTION, I would here repeat what I stated
in my former Address to this Constituency, that " I am an
unflinching supporter of-the Established Church. I conceive
it to be the bulwark of genuine Christianity ; whether within
the pale of its own Communion, or in the ample range of its
extensive Toleration, I will aid every :measure originating
with the friends of that Church, for the interests and per-
manency of our National and Orthodox Establishment.' I
am a zealous advocate •for the diffusion of Education. I
have been a promoter -of it to the best of my power wher-
ever I have been. I do• not approve of any system which is
unsustained by Moral and Religious Principles. I think the
heart should be educated as well as -the mind, and that no
system of Public Education can be beneficial, either to In-
dividuals or to Nations, which is not based upon the blessed
pages of the Scriptures,-the only rule of life.
With regard to the 'Commercial, Agricultural, and Tra-
ding Interests of the country,- I shall continue to support
and advocate the protective principloy-as. that upon which
the well-being, power, independence, and even the-existenee
of this great empire depend. But I have ever- maintained
that the degrees of protection given by law to these interests
should from time to time be subjected to revision, modifica-
tion, and adjustment, according to the infinite variety of
circumstances and combinations which are continually taking
place in the complicated affairs, general interests, and ne-
cessities of the empire.
Electors and Inhabitants of Liverpool, if sent to Parlia-
ment as your representative, I pledge to you my best exer-
tions. I shall do all in my power to make up for the great
loss which the representation of-Liverpool -has sustained by
the elevation of the able and learned person, late your mem-
ber, to the Bench; and I shall zealously co-operate with
and second the noble Lord, your other representative, in the
arduous duties to which he devotes himself with so much
zeal and ability.
The short period which will probably intervene before the
nomination, and the extent of this great constituency, may,
I fear, put it out of my power to pay my respects to you all
individually ; but I shall industriously seek every opportu-
nity of affording you collectively, as well as individually,
whatever explanations you may require from me.
I have the honour to be
Gentlemen,
Your faithful, obedient servant,
HOWARD DOUGLAS.
