land, without any foods to pay the necessary ea-
pences of an election. I have more than tonident
hopes diet there is public spirit enough left in the
City of Westminster, to show that you will not be
deterred from examining into this transit:tine'. I have
also great satisfaction in knowing. that she. the
day of election arrives, notwithstanding the boasting,
