GENTLEMEN, I understand that certain vacancies will shortly be civated in the Town Council by the retirement of some amongst the present members of that Beard, and I am induced t offer myself as a Candidate to fill one of those vacancies, no less by the advice of many kind friends amongst you, than by the desire of the honor of representing you in the Corpor- ation of your town. This is my second year of holding office as a Town Commissioner, an honor which was c inferred upon me unsolicited, and I leave it to your observation whether I have not during the time of holding such office, been one of the most punctual members in attending the Commissioners' Meetings, nd one of the most faithful and vigilant in watching over, and urgingi the best interests of your town. Should you confer upon me the honor which I now seek at your hands, it will prove with me an addition tl incentive to exertion in your service. In conclusion, I beg leave to state, that I do not come forward for the sake of offering opposition to any other candidate who may seek your suffrages, neither do I seek to strengthen my claim by connecting my name with the names of others. I ask you simply for your vote should you de-iii me deserving your confi- dence. I have the honor to be, gentlemen. Your faithful s-ervant, C. RICE WILLIAMS, M.D. Aberystwyth, 14th Oct., 18G8. To the Independent Burgesses of Aberystwyth. GENTLEMEN, on the l,t of November you will be k-T- called upon to exercise the high privilege of electing four members of the Town Council. Of the four who then go out of office in rotation two of them, Messrs Robert Edward and J. B. Balcombe have, as I am informed, expressed their determination not to offer themselves for re-election. That being so, I respectfully solicit your suffrages to supply one vacancy. I have been resident amongst you for seventeen years, and during the last five years a Town Com- missioner, and at the head of one of the principal public establishments in the town. I trust I may be peimitted to say without being thought egotistical that I have ever been mindful of my public and private duties and by my actions proved my anxious desire t) promote, in every possible way the prosperity of your town. If you should confer upon me the honour to which I aspire I shall endeavour to discharge the duties of the office faithfully and zealously. Much has been done to improve your town of late years still more jeriiaiin to be done in the way of pub- lic improvement, so as to avail ourselves to the utmost of the many natur 1 advantages which a bountiful Providence has b, stowed upon us, and which are unsur- passed by few if any other watering places in the kingdom. One important trust reposed in ,the Town Council is the management of the Corpoi ate property. Our gratitude is due to the Town Council for pro- controf ^Ur n° SO many years the property under their however, has now come, in my opinion, when the property should be made available for th^ present generation. If elected that is one matter which I shall endeavour to carry out. I believe this desirable end may be obtained without sacrificing any portion of the property, by arranging a renewal of the existing leases upon equitable term" placing large funds at the disposal of the Town Couucii applicable for public improvement. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, Your Lithful servant, JONATHAN PELL. Belle Vue Royal Hotel, October 14th, lSGS.

GENTLEMEN,-In announcing myself as again a vJJT Candidate for the honour of representing you in Parliament, I beg to declare my adherence to the principles which first obtained for me your confidence and approval. By the Reform Act of last year, the passing of which I cordially supported, the Electoral Franchise has been extended to large numbers not previously in the enjoy- ment of it, and from the new as well as from the old electors I confidently hope for support. As regards the great question of the Irish Church, which must first command the anxious attention of the new Parliament, I am of opinion that its anomalies maybe corrected, and many important modifications effected in its organization, without having recourse to the sweeping measure proposed for its total disestablish- ment. It appears to me that such a course would but tend to throw undue influence into the hands of the Roman Catholic Priesthood of Ireland. I can but view with concern the Ritualistic tenden- cies occasionally manifested in the Church of England, and I shall be only too ready to support any judicious measure of legislation, calculated to prevent all such innovations. The important question of National Education will doubtless occupy at an early period the attention of Parliament, and any well conceived scheme on that subject will receive at my hands the most earnest consideration. Every measure of real progress, consistent with the maintenance of our constitution in its integrity, will have my cordial support. I am an advocate of the strictest economy in the Public Service, consistent with its efficiency. Our L eal interests are identical, and I need scarcely add that they will, as heretofore, receive my closest attention. I hope soon to have the pleasure of waiting on each elector in person, and meanwhile I have the honour to be, Your faithful and obliged servant, W. R. M. WYNNE. Peniarth, September 14th, 1868. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MERIONETH. GENTLEMEN, having twice contested this county, I again come forward iu compliance with a requi- sition signed and sent to me by upwards of 1,400 registered electors, forming a large majority of the present constituency. If elected, I shall support the political creed of the great Liberal Party, of which that eminent statesman, Mr Gladstone, is the talented and trusted leader. That support will be based upon my conviction that there is no other public man who posses-es the same high and pre-eminent qualities for statesmanship as that distinguished politician, and on the fact that during the time he was Chancellor of the Exchequer no less than Ten Millions Sterling per annum of the public taxes were taken away, and Thirteen Millions of the national debt paid off while under the present Gov- ernment the expenditure of the nation has increased by the enormous amount of Three Millions a year, and is still increasing, notwithstanding a diminishing revenue. With regard to the Anglican Church in Ireland, I consider that its mission as a State Church has sig- nally failed, and that it ought to be Disestablished, especially as its existence is looked upon by the Irish nation as a monument of conquest and ascendancy, and is a constant source of irritation to Six Millions of the population of that country. That there is abundant ground for the disquietude that ex sts on the subject, is shown by the Report of the Irish Church Commis- sion, just published, which states that, amongst other enormities, there are in Ireland 119 parishes which do not contain one member of the Established Church ex- cept the officiating clergyman and the parish clerk- that there are 575 parishes which contain each less than twenty members of that Church- -and that £ 250,000 a year are received by clergymen, whose several flocks number under forty householders. The report adds, that a Bishop lately deceased had received £ 887,000 from the Church Revenues now pioposed to be dealt with. These and other startling statements of the evils and abuses of the Established Church in Ireland, as laid bare by that report, are so glaring and of such magnitude that no other remedy can be applied to them than that contemplated by Mr Gladstone's measure. Financial Reform, and the re-adjustment of Taxa- tion on a just basis, have become pressing National necessities and much of the Social and Commercial prosperity of the Country will depend upon the adop- tion of a searching and thorough economic Administra- tion in all departments of the executive Government. The Education of the Masses has now become a vital question, and as Ignorance is the parent of Crime, and m uneducated Democracy is a source of perpetual danger, the means of acquiring knowledge should be extended to all classes alike, and practical education ,placed within the reach of the poorest child in Her Majesty's dominions. To the more advanced of our youth of every creed the universities should be open, and the governing power of those great National insti- etutions should not be confined to those who can sub- scribe to the Thirty-nine articles. The increasing importance which the question affect- ing Capital and Labour has assumed will demand the early attention of Parliament. I consider the lower middle class, or in other words, the working men, to be the source of all the wealth and the power of the nation, and I hold that every measure calculate I to add to their comfort, and to raise their social position, should be supported by every true representative of the people. There are other question! such as Poor Law Reform, the Suppression of Vagrancy, the Licensing System, the Game Laws, County Financial Boards, the Rate- paying Clauses, and the Re-distribution of Seats, that require to be dealt with by Parliament, and which shall receive my earnest attention, if by your favour I shall have it in my power, as a member of the Legisla- ture, to take part in the consideration of these and other great questions. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, D. WILLIAMS. Castle-Deudraetb, 1st October, 1868. T.

GEN L'LEMEN,—I have been requested to offer my- self as a Candidate for the Representation of Cardiganshire by gentlemen of such various shades of political views, and from so many different districts, that I can no longer hesitate to place my services at your disposal. The Conservatives having determined to disturb the seat of a gentleman fitted to represent your county, alike by his position, his great personal worth, and moderate views, will, I believe, be the means of inducing all classes to siuk minor difference, and prove by their votes that Liberal Cardiganshire will be represented by none other than a Liberal. For many years past I have been identified with nearly every Measure of Progress" in Glamorganshire, and the active part which I to J k in assisting to briog about the present Representation of that county is, perhaps, the best proof that I can offer as to the sound- ness of my Political Opinions. I have great confidence in the wisdom and integrity of Mr Gladstone, and, if elected your Representative, would give an independent support to a Government formed by him. Holding the views I do upon Religious Equality, I cinnot but approve of Mr Gladstone's proposals res- pecting the Irish Church, and feel convinced that the adoption of his policy will strengthen the Church in England and Wales," be conducive to the dignity and welfare of England, and the peace and prosperity of Ireland. Although a staunch Nonconformist, my Candidature .is in no way connected with the Liberation Society. Experience has proved that it is the duty and interest of England to abstain as far as possible from interference in the internal affairs of other nations. Without impairing the efficiency of the Public Service considerable reductions can, I think, be made in our National Expenditure and you may rely upon my active support being given to all well-cousidered measures of Retrenchment and Ecoromy. County Rates have become such a serious charge, that I feel strongly the necessity for the Establishment of County Finance Boards, thus removing the present anomaly of Taxation without representation. The great question of the Education of the People must be considered by the New Parliament; and I aar not without hopes that useful legislation will be possible without offence to the religious feelings of any class of our fellow countrymen. Cardiganshire now has the inestimable advantage of Railway Communication. This presents facilities for the development of your mineral wealth, which have not hitherto existed, and I trust that my commercial connections may prove of some advantage in furtherance of this blanch of your native industry. Having had considerable experience in public business I venture to say that your Local Interests would not suffer in my hands. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, EVAN M. RICHARDS.
