I might, Gentlemen, make many professions of what it is my
intention to do for your Ward in the event of my.being elected
one of your Councillors; but, being fully convinced a man is
better known by his acts than by his promises, 1 fearlessly refer
you to the last twenty-three years of my life, which have been
spent in the public service of my native town, and during the
whole of that time I can with truth declare no vote, no action
of mine has ever been dictated by p►icate interest or personal
aigrandisemeut. If lam fortunate 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 be
Your faithful Friend,
J. WRIGHT.
