LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
SINCE I had the honour of addressing you under

the administration of your affairs, by the sadden death of your highly
respo.ted Director, the lion. Hugh Lindsay; I hasten, therefore, to
repeat my Fletcrmination, in fulfilment of my previous pledges, to
proceed to the Ballot on the present occasion.
Moat grateful to the numerous Proprietors who have already pro-
mised Inc their support, I earnestly and respectfully solicit the suf-
frages of those who have not yet declared their intentions, and whose
votes are still disengaged.
When the day of Election is fixed, I shall lose no time in forward-
ing to my friends in the country the necessary letter of attorney, to
enable them to vote by proxy, as well as to those in town, who may
apprise me of their wishes to that effect.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, your faithful and
obedient servant,
