Jig very extraordinary circumstances in which I
• And myself placed by the great kindness of a large portion
of your own body, demand that I should immediately address you
on the subleceof the proceedings at the Common Hall held thin day.
It is only a few days since I was niade acOuninted that there
'existed on the part of a great number of the Livery, an intention
*tupporting in nomination as one of the Magistrates of _this
CitY. in order to my being returued as one of your Representativeg
mParlienient. To the intimation that was given me, I returned
• kr *newer, that remote as it had been froin'my intention to quit
that retirement into which I had passed at the expiration of thi
late Mayoralty, and determined as I continued not to offer myself
" a Candidate, yet that I felt myself not entitled to resist the due
exercise of your elective franchise; and that if, in such exercise,
Pt, should think proper to call me forth, every private considera-
tion mutt yield to my sense of public ditty.
I now learn that a Poll has been demanded on my behalf, and
'while I still refrain from offering myself a 'Candidate, I cannot
hesitate one moment to repeat to you the abate declaration made
O my private friends, with this addition of MK 'xisttrance, that if
sleeted, my best effortawill be exerted in putt. service. The know-
ledge which you already possess of any' principles and conduct,
realer it. unnecesse.ty that to this assurance I should add any thing
aunt, than an expression of my hope, that if by your free and in-
lependant suffrage's, I should be returned as one of your rem,
!emotive* in Parliament, I shall not hereafter forfeit the appro- ,
hation with which my fellow-cititens have honoured my former
tuitions in their service.
With much respect, I have the honour to. bet
Gentlemen,
Your faithful and moot obedient Sirvant,
