could only produce a- superiority so trifling, can you desire jmore
dkoisive proof, that if you are but faithful to yourselves, and vigi-
lant to promoting the noble cause which animates you, it must
prosper. your early votes will insure U. Corse forward—crowd

PALK having this day de-
LA dared his intention of retiring from Parliament, I Lope that
I shall not be deemed presumptuous in offering myself as a Can-
didate for the high honour of hteoming your Representative.
Arduous as the ituation is to which I aspire, and unexperi-
enced as I must necessarily be in Parliamentary business, I can
only hope, that unremitting diligence, and a conscientious seso-
lotion to discharge the high duties attached to the representation
of this important County, will vindicate the kind solicitations of
the numerotia friends who...urged me to submit myself to your
notice, and will enable me to promote the best interests of my
Country.
Permit tee to request the favour of your support on the day
of nomination; and that you will accept as my apology for riot
paying my personal respects to you, the assurance, that, previous
to the 49th ult. I was not aware that any vacancy in your Re.
presentation wes likely to occur.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,_

Your most obedient and very tattbful tom,
