a CANDIDATE for the representation of it in the New Town
Council, permit me to return you my best thanks for this mark
of your coundence, and to assure you that I most cheerfully
accede to your wishes.

I might, Gentlemen, make many professions of what it is my
intention to do for your Ward in the event of n being 'elected
one of your Councillors; but, being fully c vinced a man is
better known by his acts than by his pro s, I fearlessly refer
you to the last twenty-three years of ife, which have been
spent in the public service of my nat e town, and during the
whole of that time I can with truth declare no vote, no action
of mine has ever been dictated by private interest'or personal
aggrandisement. If lam fortuhate enough to be returned one
of your Councillors, I will still act as I have ever yet done,
honestly, independently, and conscientiously, having for my
objects the particular interests of your Ward, the general pros-
perity of the good old Town and the welfare of its Inhabitants.
1 have the honour, Gentleman, to he
Your faithful Friend,
J. WRIGHT.

most numerous and respectable Meeting of the Burgesses

CANDIDATE for the important Office of one of your Repre-
selltates in the new Council. _

I will not conceal from you that I am gratified by this unso-
licited approval of my principles and character, an,d-trot the less

connexion with your neighbourhood, lam • imately known.
Gentlemen, no pledges have been r red from me in the
event of my being elected, and none do think it right to offer.

of a Councillor who is fettered in his judgment, or tied down by
instructions from others as to the course he shall pursue. •
If I shall have tile honour to be elected, I shall enter upon the
arduous and responsible Office with a fixed determination to
perform my duty to the best of my ability, and with a sincere
desire to promote your local interests and the general prosperity
of the Town.

Gentlemen, I most sincerely thank you for this mark of your
