IN pursuance of an act of Congress, you
re called on by the late commissioners to at
md in person or by proxy. at Washington,
&c "a MAY next, to elect five Directors, a
Treasurer and Clerk, i take the liberty thro
his medium to offer myself candidate as
our Clerk. The advantage to the AleSan-
yians of the clerk residing in Alexandra, as
ne Office is to be kept in Washington, IS OBJ
i ious, and no injury can possibly arise from
his arrangement to the Stockholders IN the
City. 1t will render unnecessary IN case OF
ransfers, that the persons conveying or re-
ceivinr the conveyance should repair to the
clerks Office in the City to have the needtui
done. True it is, that it may be done by
power Of attorney; but the trouble and ex-
,ence attendant thereon is an Inconvenience,
independent of the necessity OF an agent to
effect the transfer; whereas the clerk residing
in Alexandra night be the means or saving
thatexpence and trouble by keeping transfer
book there.
The lively interest have taken IN the pro-
motion of the Bridge, in which | at present
own in nv own name and those OF others, l4o
shares, fatter myself will entltle me to a
preference over any thar has no interest there
in. 7 shall be content to receive whatever e
