TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BRECON AND TOWN OF LLYWELL. GENTLEMEN, Solicitous as I am for the honor of represen- ting you in Parliament, my respect for your feelings on the loss of your late lamented Member has hitherto commanded my silence. My political principles are, I have no doubt well known to you all as being Conservative and Independent. I consider the very essence of the Creed of the Conservative to be, the use of the pruning Knife, carefully to cut off every proved and acknowledged abuse, and to aim at progress and improvement. Though firmly attached to the Established Church, I nevertheless deeply respect the convic- tion of those who honestly differ from me in their religious views, and I shall therefore support any Measure that will relieve those who entertain con- scientious scruples from any longer paying Church Rates. Believing the Income Tax to be inquisitorial, I am opposed to its continuance, and think it ought only to be used as a temporary resource in cases of War or any great financial embarrassment of the Country. I consider the Ballot to be incon- sistent with the spirit of the English constitution, and am convinced it would not prove any real advantage or safeguard to the Voter. I am no stranger to your ancient Borough and County, with which my Family has been connected for many centuries, and I should indeed feel proud and gra- tified if the connection were cemented by my becoming your Representative in the House of Commons. You may depend, in such an event, upon my best exertions being used to promote in every way the welfare of your Borough, as well as of the Country at large. I have the honor to remain, GENTLEMEN, Your Faithful Servant, HOWELGWYN. Brecon. Oct. 6th, 1865.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BRECON AND TOWN OF LLYWELL. GENTLEMEN; After the very flattering manner in which you have received me, I should be ungrateful indeed, were I not to embrace this early opportunity of returning you my most siucere and heartfelt thanks. The success,- I have met with far exceeds my most sanguine expectations, and I entertain no doubt, when my canvass is complete, that I shall find a decided majority of votes in my favour, and in this belief I subscribe myself, Your most obliged and grateful Servant, HOWEL GWYN. Brecon, October 9th, 1865.

TO THE BURG-ESSES OF THE BOROUCH OF BRECON. FELLOW-BURGESSES, I am informed that you have chosen me to fill the vacancy in the Town Council caused by the lamented death of our late worthy and respected fellow-townsman, Mr. Thomas Williams. This expression of your confidence, uninflu- enced by any solicitation on my part, is very gratifying to me, and I beg you to accept my best thanks for it. I wish that all our elections could be con- ducted in the same way. We should not then have the humbling periodical exhibition of some very discreditable scenes: scenes which make thoughtful men pause in coming to a decision as to the wisdom of lowering the qualification of voters for Members of Parliament. I remain, Yours very faithfully, mi T. PEESTWGOD LUCAS. The Bulwark, December 29th, 1865.
