Charles Seely
- A New song, supposed to be written and sung by the Citizen Candidate. (Air. - "Dainty Davie ; " - or, "When first in London I arrived.")( Book )
- To the freemen and electors of Lincoln. We are on the eve of a general election, the present Parliament having now nearly run through an unusually prolonged existence of six years. The members of the House of Commons are by the Crown sent back to their constituents ... a constituency, in want of a candidate, will sign a requisition to some gentleman whose opinions, as a neighbour or as a public man, they have become acquainted with ... Was ever, before this time, such an absurdity heard of as that a requisition to Mr. Charles Seely to become a candidate to represent this city in Parliament should have been in the course of signature during the six long years existence of the present Parliament? by Mickey Free( Book )
- To the Liberal electors of Lincoln. Gentlemen, is it not the height of impudence and obsurdity that some twenty or thirty men, most of them nobodies, should presume to defeat the wishes of the whole Liberal body in Lincoln. Just conceive a cause being sacrificed to please such men as William Fisher, of the Mad Bull ; George Calder, a bilious superanuated tailor ; Richard Commons Hunt ; John Inman, the sarvant ; Handsome Odling, of Nottingham celebrity ; William Daub-her, William Rudgard, the amiable ; Porpoise Jackson, of the Cat and Worm ; Generous Spoon-er ; Pierrepoint, the Jerryman ; Arnold, the sly ; Williams, the moralist ; and two or three more such worthies. The above is pretty nearly the strength of the Bulwer lot, and surely Mr. Seely is worth the whole bunch put together by Real dark blue( Book )
- To the freemen and electors of Lincoln. Gentlemen, two thousand copies of Mr. Charles Seely's address have been distributed throughout the City. In this address he has entered into a long account of his opinions relating to the practical questions of the day. Without either agreeing with or differing from him in his political opinions - for this is of but little moment - permit me to ask you if there are not many tradesmen in Lincoln in every way as respectable as Mr. Seely, and who are equally as well qualified as he to represent the City of Lincoln in Parliament? by Tradesman( Book )
- The Traitors unmasked. The honest Liberals of Lincoln will not be misled by the unprincipled efforts of a few desperate men, who are ready to sacrifice the Liberal interests of the City, to gratify their private spleen, and to promote their own personal interests ... It is clear, that for some reason or other, which may be explained before long, Mr. Seely does not want Sir Edward to be returned: that is the plain fact without disguise ; and I beg you, one and all, not to gratify Mr. Seely's private pique or envy, by rejecting one of the greatest men of the age, and returning a Tory in his stead( Book )
- "The Original citizen candidate," hashed up by "a whipper-snapper of the press." : the attention of the electors of Lincoln is earnestly directed to the following which appears as the leading article in the free trade and radical Lincolnshire Advertiser, of June 19th. In the following article the claims of the original are completely shattered, as any man of ordinary common sense, daring to express himself freely, will at once admit( Book )
- Singular dream. To the electors of Lincoln ... To pay any serious attention to dreams is by many considered a proof of weakness, and to tell them a still greater ; but that which I had last night was such a very singular one, that I am induced to relate it to you. You must know that I dreamt I was a candidate for Parliamentary honours - that I was actually metamorphosed into the identical Mr. Charles Seely himself by Elector( Book )
- Who are the traitors? : Who made the first overtures "to shelve Collett and to return Bulwer?" Robert Swan on the part of a few aristocratic tories. Who joined him to gratify his own private spleen against "that fellow, Seely"? Alderman Rudgard on the part of a few aristocratic whigs ... Who will change these tricks of conservative and whig traitors into the triumph of principle? The consistent electors of Lincoln. How? By voting for the citizen candidate. Hurrah! For Seely and no trickery. July 26th, 1847( Book )
- To Mr. Charles Seely. Sir, I understand you did me the honor to abuse me, at your free and easy, held at the Sloop, the other evening, because, having signed your requisition, I, in common with many others, refuse to vote for you. You stated, I understand, that I had twice forfeited my word, and you did your best to incite your followers to insult and annoy me. It would have been more manly, I think, had you given the real facts of the case, and then left parties to judge whether I be to blame or not by Charles Couldwell( Book )
- To the electors of Lincoln. Gentlemen, the benevolence which is continually manifesting itself in deeds of charity is indicative of a disposition largely influenced by our sublime Christianity ; it betrays not only the heart that can feel for the sufferings and wants of others, but the ready and cheerful aid it affords to the distressed shows that the sacred volume of divine inspiration has not been perused in vain ... Mr. Seely's moral life will, I think, bear the strictest scrutiny. Contrasted with any of his three rivals in the field of politics, I do not think that the result will be that he would be least entitled to the esteem of the moral and virtuous by Gerrit Smith( Book )
- To the freemen and electors of the city of Lincoln. Mr. Loaden's committee respectfully return thanks to the electors who at the last election voted for Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. Collett, for the promises of their support to Sir Bulwer Lytton at the next election ; which has placed his return beyond all expectation!!! They will continue the canvass, and on reporting to Sir Bulwer Lytton the chances of his success, he will most assuredly come to solicit the supporters of Mr. Seely( Book )
- The House of Commons, and the houses on the commons. The following article is extracted from the Lincolnshire Advertiser, a Liberal and free-trade paper of June 26th, 1847( Book )
- The spirit of the dream. Amongst the many false accusations that have been brought against the "Citizen Candidate," one is, that he is devoid of religious principle ; - to contradict such an uncharitable assertion, the following sublime aspiration, which he breathed forth in his slumber, (having fallen asleep in his easy chair, after his return from the mill on Sunday last,) will prove to the people how lamentably ignorant they are of the real state of his devotional mind( Book )
- To the electors of Lincoln. Gentlemen, it is thought by some that the struggle at the coming election will be between Sir E.B. Lytton, Bart. and Mr. Seely. If the electors love truth, would do justice, and preserve their independence, they ought to examine carefully the facts of the case by One of Yourselves( Book )
- The Last scene, from a forthcoming play, entitled Lincoln election ; or, The Citizen Candidate ... Place - The Black Goats, Lincoln. Time - 8 o'clock on the morning of pollings( Book )
- Public notice. The freemen of Lincoln, are cautioned against being duped by the original citizen candidate, who is seeking to bribe them to vote for him by pretending great zeal for their welfare in the matter of the Lincoln Commons. Let them beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing, and recollect he is the head of the party who tried to rob them of their property only a few years ago, and denounced them as scamps and vagabonds utterly unfit to be trusted. The original's movement has been very properly termed "a common swindle," and the few dupes to the stratagem "green geese." As, however, there are parties who think Mr. Seely entitled to a shout for bribing them with their own money, I beg to subjoin the following letter, shewing how much more patriotic and liberal is Mr. Seely's great opponent by Ghost of that red cow( Book )
- City election. To the electors of Lincoln. A hand-bill has just been freely circulated in Lincoln by the Seely party, the purport of which is to hold up to contempt a portion of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's committee. The wiseacre who wrote it should have "looked before he leaped," and then he would not have fallen into the ditch on the other side of the hedge. According to his views, maltsters, spirit merchants, and publicans, are not respectable enough to be on a candidate's committee. Strange doctrine this, to emanate from a party who are doing every thing in their power to make the electors believe that a miller and a baker (honest trades, I admit,) is a fit and proper person to be one of their representatives in Parliament!!! by Voter( Book )
- Treachery! Treachery!! : Mr. Collett has at length been compelled to withdraw from the field, in order that his supporters may be handed over to support the unholy alliance of treacherous Conservatives, and spiteful Whigs ; combined to return Sir E.B. Lytton along with Colonel Sibthorp, to the rejection both of Mr. Collett and Mr. Seely ... Shew your sense of the indignity, by going with me and voting for Mr. Seely, and let Bulwer shift for himself by Collettite( Book )
- Oh this Charles Seely. Air. - "Sweet Kitty Clover."( Book )
- To the independent freemen and electors of the city of Lincoln ... Gentlemen, by the decision of a committee of the House of Commons, you are again called upon to exercise your political franchise. With all proceedings connected with the late petition against Mr. Seely's return, from the first to the last, it must be sufficiently well known, that I had nothing whatsoever to do ... I refer my claims on your notice to those broad principles of choice upon which you first honored me with your approval by Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton( Book )

To the independent freemen and electors of Lincoln. Gentlemen, in 1845, in compliance with a requisition signed by 525 freemen
and electors of the city, I declared myself a candidate for the honor of representing you in Parliament. At that time there
was no other reformer in the field. As some of my opinions have, I fear, been misrepresented, I will endeavour to explain
