GENTLEMIix,
THE lamented death of my much respected friend,
Mr. Pattison, having caused a vacancy in the representation
of this City, I have received a requisition, conveyed to me in most
gratifying terms, from a large and influential body of electors, to of-
fer
myself as a candidate to fill that vacancy.
Although for many years I have been honoured by the confidence
of the electors of Boston, I have not hesitated, in the situation and
Slider the circumstances in which lam placed, to accede to the re-
(lllisition and become a candidate for your suffrages.
MY conduct in Parliament for twelve eventfiti years has been be-
ers you.
I have been the constant advocate of civil-and religious liberty ;
and I have supported all measures for removing restriction on com-
lllerce and for promoting the Industry of the country, giving,
at the same time, a cordial support to the Ceoveniment of Li.,rd J.
‘MY past conduct, therefore, will be the best security to you that I
'Wall continue the same course of public dut,sr if honoured by your
tuPPort ; and it will be my study to hold myself accessible at all
tiles when the business of this great comm ercial community may
require either my advice or assistance.
In the honourable position is which I am -31 aced it has been my
tl,Xious desire to uphold the dignity of my oft ce, and to promote the
eat interests of my fellow-citizens ; and, in ai,pLing to the high ho-
.11(),(1r of becoming one of the representatives of this great city, with
„:ich I have been connected for upwards of thirty years, I beg to
.Sure you that, should you be pleased to pl.tee me in that distin-
reilshed station, it will be a powerful additional motive to devote my-
tlf t° your service
nc , and to endeav
nil our, by my public conduct, to jus-
Y the confi hee you place inas represQating 5-eur important
uterests In the Commons House of Parliament:.
I have the Lonour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful, hurnbL servant,
JAMES DUKE.
