IN presuming to solicit she high honour of Repre-
senting you in Parliament, I derive great satisfaction from the ,
avowal of one of the Gentlemen to whom you entrusted that
important charge, of his intention to surrender it, as I can now
make a respectful offer of my services, without opposition to one
considered by you as worthy of holding so sacred a trust, and the
peaee of the Country will not, I hope, be disturbed. lam fully
sensible of the great and serious responsibility a County Member
undertaker. Should I be so fortunate as to attain the object of
my ambition, you may rest assured, that I will devote my best
exertions to the promotion of your interests, and to the active
and independent discharge of my parliamentary duties. It would
ill become me to make further professions, but I pledge myself
not to be deficient (in endeavour, at least) to deserve your con-
fidence and prove my gratitude.
Ihe short period of time that will elapse .prior to the day of
Election will, I much fear, prevent my having the honour of
waiting on you all individually; but, be the result what it may,
I shall not fail eagerly to seize the first opportunity to perform
that duty.-1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, very sincerely,
your attached and faithful servant,
