Gentlemen,
BY this I make known to you my intentions of
Standing a candidate for the Sheriff's office, at our

public appointments in thia county heretofore, flatter
myfelf I have difeharged the trusts reposed in me with
candour and fidelity ; therefore as this is the firft effice
I have Solicited you for in the county, I now request
your votes and interest at the next election for said of
fice, (being now clear of all public offices whatsoever)

To the Refpedable Freeholders and Free
men, Electors of the County of Philadel
phia,
GENTLEMEN,
As the time of the annual ele^ion is not far distant,
I think it my duty, after mature deliberation, to
inform you, that it will be inconvenient for me to serve
you in council the ensuing year, as well because Several
worthy citizens have thought it incompatible with my
other appointment, and contrary to the Spirit of the
constitution ; although my ownopinion, together with,
that of many judicious and worthy friends, differ wide
ly on this head ; as that I find it absolutely necefiry to
pay more particular attention to my private affairs.
Upon the whole I Shall ever, I trust, entertain a grate
ful sense of the honor conferred, and confidence repos
ed in me on former occasions, and Shall always re
joice in an opportunity to promote the prosperity and
h ppinefs of your refpeftsble count/,
