OF THE CITY OF ROCHISTER.

aaftrama rimers,
CALLED upon by a large and refpcaable part
of your body to reprefent you in the caning P.trbarnent,
it may pctbars be conlidard neeetrary for me to ttzte to you
on whin prarligions 1 can afpiro to to Inch and to dittinguifbed
311 hittonr.

If my preteDfiOnS are to be founded upon my own individual
merit. they must &rink before the feperior blue of (kW
dm,-after, who has lately folicited your fulfragcs. My pre-
tenflons to this honour arc founded on the favourable opinion
pout are Lind enough to entertain of me; an opinion, I trult,
not lightly taken up nor inconfiderately formed; but the refult
of a long acquaintance with my modes of life, my h...b.ts and my
principles," eves& from my boyilh days." Giveited of this fa-
vourable opinion, any pretenfions in me to this exalted Ration
would be kfs than nothing.
You have too frequently been deceived by profeffioni and
promifes in addreffes of this kind, to let them any longer go
current with you' They keep the word of promise to the ear,
but break it to the hope.".-..1 will only tell you what I cannot
promife you—l cannot pronlife, fhould Ibe the object of your
election, tkit every• action than meet with the approbation of
every iudividual...4 cannot prontift: to promote any faith in-
ce-reit by becoming the penfiunary of Government, or the tool
of a fidtion—l rannot malice to forward your private views
at the expellee of my public independence.
With all there iniperfeaions on my head, if I fhould be deem-
ed not unworthy of your choke, I will however prumifc, that
whatever errors I may commit, they Mall be errors of the head
and not of the heart, and that no Freeman dull blunt to hear
the name of their Rcprefentative coupled with corruption.
I am, Brother Freemen, with great eftccm,
Your obliged friend, and devoted Ilrvant,

• OP THE CFI'Y OF ROCHESTER.

BROTHER rattairN,
Nv-HEN reflex, that the fticcers I have met
with, during my Canvas, has far exceeded my molt
fanguinc caps... Rations, I feel, 1 owe to all my Fellow Citizccs
every obligation—to thole few, echo either ditfcred from me in
opinion, or were previoully engaged in their vo:e4, fur their
e indour and liberality—to thole who gave me tilde 'upport,
fu the readinefs and alacrity with which they communicated
t tat fupport—to thole who accompankd me in my Canv..d-s,
far the heady attachment and unwearied affuluity with -able!'
they purfued the objedi they had in view.
And although 1 ant confident that the ultimate iirue of My
application Rands on the liemeft of all pallid(' tlmunds—yet,
whatever /may k the Hine, during the remainder of my life,
the recoUeetion of thefe teftimonies of your attachment and
elteem, will never fail to infpire me with the livelielt fentimcnts
of gratitude.
It is in this public manner I with to acknowledge my obli-
gation, and my gratitude, and to allure you,
Brother Freemen,
That I am, with great regard.
Your obliged Friend, and devoted Servant.
