TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNT*" OF MERIONETH. /ENTLEME.V,—Tn announcing myself as again a VJ Candidate for the honour of representing you in Parliament, I beg to declare my adherence to the principles which first obtained fjr me your confidence Parliament, I beg to declare my adherence to the principles which first obtained fjr me your confidence and approval. By the Re'orm Act of last year, the paisioTof 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 irom the old electors I confidently hopa 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 my b corrected, and many important modifications effected in its organization, without having recourse to the sweeping measure I)r,posed for its total disestablish- ment, It appears to me that such a course would but tend to thNw undue influence into the hands of the Roman Catholic Priesthood of Ireland. I can but view with concern the Ritual's'ic tenden- cies occasionally manifested in the Church of England, and I shall be only too ready to support any j udicious measure of legislation, ca'culated to prevent all such innovations. The important question of National Education will doubtless occupy at an early periid the attention of Parliament, and any wed conceived scheme on that subject will receive at my hands the must earnest consideration. Every measure of real progress, consisteut 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 1.c,11 interests are identical, rllll I neel 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 s-rvnnt, -n ■ c W. R. M. WYN-NE. Peniarth, September 14th, 1868. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MERIONETH. GENTLEMEN, having twice contested this c aunty, I again c_me forward in 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 uo other public man who posses e- the same high and pre-eminent qualities for statesmanship ;is 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 Mil ions of the national debt paid off while under the present Gov- ernment the expenditure of the na'ion has increased by the enormous amount of Three Millions a y-ar, and is still increasing, notwith-tand ng 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 monurrent of conquest and ascendancv, and is a constant source of irritation to Six Minions 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 Caurch 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 e tch 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 i'SSr.OX) J? m,Churc\Revenues now pi0p ,Sed to be dealt with. These and other starting 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 cm 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 Admmi tra- 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 an uneducated Democracy is a source of perpetual danger, the means of acquiring knowleitie should be extended to all classes alike, and practicd 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 cmfined 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 clas, or in other words, the working men, to be the source of all the wealth and tha power of the nation, and I hold that every measure calculate 1 to add to their comfort, and to raise their social position, people SUp1' by evp'Ty true representative of the There are other questions, 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 vour 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-Deudraeth, 1st October, 1868. Cambrian Railways. CONVEYANCE OF NEWSPAPERS.
