By Ruffians, deputed for the Purpose, from
Charleftown,

And, after fuffering—helplefs and infirm as he was —
The vilest Indignities,
.WAS
Inhumanly Murdered,
AND
His mangled Corpse thrown'into the River,
In the Night of the 24th of April,

From a lively Sense of his Brother's Virtues,
AND
In Detestation of British Barbarity,

GENTLEMEN,
AS the time of the annual deflion 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 cf many judicious and worthy fri< nds, differ wide
ly on this head ; as that I find it absolutely necessary 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 occ^fions, and fhaii always re
joice in an opportunity to promote the prosperity and
happinefu of your refpedable county,
JOHN BAYARD.
