To the *OATH* and IND!PFsnFNT ELECTORS of
the CITY of wEsrmissTE R. .
ENTLEMEN —The distinguished honourwhich
.you have. this day conferred upon me, demands my
warmest Thanks, and impresses on my mind an awful smog of
the high trust imposed on me by your concdence.
To be the Succcisor, in the represemation of your great .•nd
populous City, to the enlightened Statesman whose lust we all
so much deplore, and to whos • remains we :hall in a few days
pay the last sad tribute of respect, is art object of the most
laudable ambition. If any person had been found in whom
was united a similar assemblage of those great conl t.es which
he so emoiendy possessed, no one wooed more willingly than
myself have resigned his pretensions to your support but
tuella person was not to be found It would be vain in me to
attempt to emulate the commending talents of that Great
Man, either in or out tat the House of Cann:out, but it shall
be my anxious endeavours to prove to yore, on all occasions,
that my roil for your interests shall he unweaned, and that in
me you shall ever iodaitutlsful Giaardian of the Constitutional
Liberties of our Country.
I am, Gentlemen, with the truest sentiments of gratitude,
• Your meet faithful and devoted humble Servant,
