To everything his knowledge must extend;
But nota bene, by-the-bye,
No lawyer, churchman, soldier, sailor, need apply.
ELECTION CORRESPONDENCE.
From the Chairman of the Local Committee to the Agent in London.
My Dear Sir,
The squibs you sent down have all been circulated, but money is more wanted. Podger, the butcher, is wavering; being an influential man there are several who always vote as he does. I am sorry to see his firmness giving way; but if you send down fifty pounds by return of post, I think I may be able to strengthen his principles.
Yours, very truly,
Peter Pliant.
From the Agent in London to the Local Chairman in the Country.
