TO THE ELECTORS

OF THE

TOWN OF LONDON.

FELLOW TOWNSMEN—

Since I left our peaceful and happy home, lour weeks ago, importai
events have taken place. The heart of our flourishing Town has, in the dispensations <
Providence, by a direful calamity been reduced to a desolate waste! I cannot attempt i
express my feelings, on my return last evening, to find that fine range of buildings which 1 1
lately left the scene of rich commercial enterprise and apparent contentment, activity ai
gayety, now reduced to a cold and dreary ruin !

The Legislature has been dissolved, and you arc again called upon to select a person
whom to repose the highest trust of honor which can be bestowed by the/ree and tWepend*
Electors of a Town. Upon your choice, on such an occasion, will, in a great measure, d
pend the reputation of our Town ; and which, I am proud to say, has heretofore stood
high and independent as any other in the Province. That important trust, at the last Electio
you confidently reposed in me- and as you have so kindly and cheerfully shown the contin
ance of that confidence by bringing my name forward during my absence— I hasten now
return my most sincere thanks, and to assure you of my firm determination to accept a
appreciate the high honor conferred upon me, by being again selected as your Candidate

the approaching Election.

I hear that a stranger and political aspirant has presented himself to you, and has c
deavored to create excitement and disunion by insinuations prejudicial to my political influenc
undoubtedly with the intention of making this Constituency a means of advancing h
own private and ambitious views. I need not say that I do not entertain the slighest doi
of the integrity and good sense of my Fellow Townsmen on this occasion, and that they v
maintain the good character which they have heretofore sustained for intellgence and loyal

My principles are well known to you all— I would only now repeat, (as the question
my religious views with regard to the University of Kings College has been profusely alledg
against me with the view of prejudicing your minds,) what 1 before expressed to you, i
sincere regard to all Christian denominations of Religion, and my wish that all should
placed upon an equal footing in the Public Institutions of the Province. This is, I belie
the policy and intention of the present Government, which is based upon the most wise i
LIBERAL principles— and which, should you again honor me with your confidence, shall
cieve my most hearty support.

1 remain. Gentlemen, your most obedient Servani,

L. LAWRASON.
