GENTLEMEN,
For some time past my
mind has been considerable at ease, IN
the hopes that your memorial to Congress,
and the counter memorial would be eonso-
lidated into one, and, in that state with
the concurrence OF both parties, to coup TO
Congress with a degree of responsibility
which would merit success. Its with in.
expressible concern hear that your last
evenings elaboration has decided to the
contrara
My situation in life is such that cannot
be injured, though it should please those
who have the power to reject even thethree
up to1on persons who are permitted to have
the honor Of a seat at your council If the
town is kept in a proper state OF cleanliness,
and the npisances removed, my wish is
grati6ed. earnestly desire and believe
it is the general wish that matters of such
import, as assume the hateful aspect ofup
f0sOn or !s5zun tom party, may be deferred
to distinct memorial. As a focus to the
public mind, entreat you to adopt such a
memorial, as will concentrate the wishes of
the inhabitants in such manner as must
inforce conviction of the justice of the re-
guest you prefer.
seldom enter my habitation without
feeling some portion of the melancholy l.
IDEAS with which entered it when called to
town during the prevalence of the malig-
nant fever, and when return the carresses
with which my infant children greet my
entrance, | eelno small degree of gratitude
to the Supreme Being for having still left
me to provide for them, whilst SO many of
mysneigabourve shas been called away so
suddenly from their families, and friends.
Distance of time takes off the keen edge of
the most melancholy impressions: Those
which have passed are wrote in characters
too strong to be wholly obliterated. The
awful silence of night which pervaded our
streets, and the melancholy scenes which
you must all have Witnessed, and some of
you felt, might induce you to defer those
objects for a season which, under the oppo-
sition they meet with, may endanger the
measures which are necessary to our safe
ty.
T
