AN INDEPENDENT BURGESS

March, 1803.

ADDRESS.

To the Electors of the Town and County of the Town of Nottingham.

THE

the

House of

Commons having thought proper to suspend the issuing a new Writ until

FREEDOM OF ELECTION

can be secured in this Town, by Measures at present under the consideration of Parliament,The Friends of Mr. COKE, reflecting on the personal Danger to which he has repeatedly been exposed, cannot think of soliciting him to make his Appearance at so great a Risk, before such

desirable and necessary Provision is made; and they trust the Electors will not be induced to engage their Votes until Mr. COKE can have the opportunity of paying his personal respects to them.

** It is hoped that any Person who can spare such a Set of Rooms, will have no objection to a few Red Fur Gowns being laid up in them.

Address, by MR. BIRCH.

To the free and independent Electors of the
Town of Nottingham.

GENTLEMEN,

I should do a violence to the grateful sentiments of my heart, if I were silent or guilty of any delay in returning you my most sincere thanks for the very flattering reception I have experienced from you on my canvass.

My success is as honourable to yourselves, as complimentary to me; it manifests that your high spirit of independance and integrity is proof against the shafts of calumny, and the coercive and oppressive hand of power, which I am sorry to find so universally exercised by my opponents.

I have honestly laid before you my political principles; my opponents know them to be perfectly Constitutional, and your kind support of me after this avowal, is a proof of your concurrence in them, and the strongest refutation you can give, to the malignant calumnies with which you have been charged by those who have the most sinister views in so doing.

On Monday morning I shall resume my Canvass, and shall pay my personal respects to every Elector; in the mean time I know you will parti

ipate with me in the pleasure I feel, when I as sure you, that the experience already had of your kindness and support, leaves me no doubt whatever of eventual success.

I am, with the most unfeigned

Regard, and Gratitude,

Gentlemen,

Your faithful Servant,

JOSEPH BIRCH.

A CARD.

MR. COKE'S COMMITTEE, after a Canvass of Five Days, have great satisfaction in being able to state with confidence, a most decided and unequivocal Majority of Votes in Favor of that Gentleman. It is their intention to pay their personal respects to every individual Elector residing in the Town of Nottingham; but as a Canvass on the Market-day would be attended with great inconvenience to many of those respectable Friends who have honoured them with their attendance, they propose deferring it till Monday next, when it will be again proceeded in, from the White Lion, at 10 o'clock in the morning, and a continuance of that countenance, which has so conspicuously distinguished this Canvass, is' again solicited.

ON THUMBING.

To the Inhabitants of Nottingham.

T has been the constant practice of the "Friends

IT

of Peace and Social Order," in this struggle for Licentiousness, to charge their own bad actions to the account of their Adversaries.

LITTLE SOLOMON began it, and he or his Tribe stick to it, as the only way they have to abuse their Opponents, whose Conduct is so exemplary in the eyes of all impartial men that they are invulnerable to all just Complaint.

You are told of the iron-hand of Oppression being laid on the Electors, but it would have been as well to have told you BY WHOM. As the wretched scribblers, the loyal Jacobins, have not condescended to do it, I will tell you where you may learn who have been Thumbing with a vengeance.— RICHARD RAWSON, of Lambley, will inform you who threatened him about his paltry Farm being taken away, if he did not vote for MR. BIRCH.— WILLIAM MILLER, in North Row, Nottingham, and SAMUEL LYNN, of Shipley, Derbyshire, and many more in the New Buildings will tell you who threaten to take Poor Men's Frames away, if they do not vote (contrary to their inclination) for MR. BIRCH.
