FELLOW Citizens ofthe County Of 14adi-
son,

Having heretofore in an address to
you stated, as thought, plain and clear
ly my sentiments with respect to divi-
sion of the county.-Since that time,
however, number of reports intended
to injure my election have been fabri-
Gated and industriously circulated in the
Sangamo and other parts of this county,
by some men who wished others greater
success than me, and who paid very lit
tie regard to truth in the affair.
In answer to the antiquities spoken
OF by some, and limited at by others, in
my former address l will merely with
truth and candor observe, that am op-
posed to any division that can take place
III this county; except to be bounded on
the north when the people wish it. I
wish to be understood that | am op-
posed to any division on the east or west
OF this COMMUNICATING neither self-in-
terest nor aught but the good of the
county in view, leave it with you to act
wisely for yourselves.

ten on the public land, without either
the right of presumption, or the land in
any way prepared for sale, live in pre-
carious manner, and above all others
should be at rest. Query to the gentle
man candidate from the Sangamo--whe-
Their he lives within the bounds of this
county of Madison or not ? If he should
be elected, and not an inhabitaut Of this
county, could he hold seat in the le-
gislature Ifhe could not, of course eve
ry vote he gets will be lost. You that
live inthe bounds Of the thirty-eight town
ships now offered for sale, will be eligi-
bic to have new county, if you find
yourselves able, which will be better as.
certained after the sales.
| see an address to you by Mr..
Churchill. He is a gentleman ] am
not acquainted with, but certainly bears
an excellent character: however, his ad-
dress does honort to bis country, and crc-
Git to his abilities, for style and veracity.
But it is taken as an expose, and hath
excited phalanx of candidates against
him. The business is Just so; if we,
the electors, hath arrived at that pitch of
greatness, to prefer abilities, joined with
other worth, we will elect him; if not,
we will elect men of inferior information,
as more compatible to our knowledge of
men and things.

To Tie Electors Of Madison County.

To Tie Electors Of Madison COUNTY.
The period is fast approaching when
you will be called on to elect three Coun-
V Commissioners. In the choice you
are TO make, independent of the general
qualifications necessary for the persons
to possess, who may fill the office, there
is question Of still greater magnitude,
one which is interesting to every citizen
Of the county. 1t is well known that an
offer has been made to erect the public
buildings, and to make a donation of
them to the county. Will you not then
require Of the several candidates, who
have or may offer, an unequivocal de-
claration, whether they are in favor OF
or opposed to the acceptance of such do
ation.--Ihat it is the interest of the
great mass of the citizens that such
donation should be received, no one can
deny, and it is equally right that the
people should be informed whether the
persons, who are 10 receive their suf-
trage, intend to impose on them, the
enormous tax which it will require to
erect the public buildings, or whether
they will in the name and for the bene-
tit of the county accept of donation.--
This is plain simple question, which
admits of as plain an answer; ORG in
which evasion nor ambiguity, cannot be
tolerated, and it is expected that every
candidate who offers will answer in the
affirmative or negative, it is right rest
ed In the people to require this declara-
ton, and he who dares deny it, or re-
fuses to answer, should meet not only
their opposition but their contempt.
Let the people make this the watch
word: " lie thai isn2tj for us is against
u.s. The question aud the times adj
nit Of no neutrals.

The election is coming on-indeed,

stratagems made use of by some OF the
candidates to be elected; amongst others,
to have one from the Sangamo, tor the

TO THE ELECTORS OF MADI.
SON COUNTY.

L Elbow CITIZENs,
l have thought proper to offer myself
to you as candidate for your SURFACES,
for the Office of County Commissioner
OF the County of Madison.
twill be | presume sufficient for me,
to observe, that the prominent motives
which has induced ne to adept this
course is a desire to be useful 10 nv
fellow citizens. The situation of the
county Tor long time past and to the
present moment with regard TO It's revi-
nue. is deplorable,--t need only be
stated that the county is in debt, notwith-
standing the large taxes which have been
imposed and collected from you, TO per-
ceiye that your burtheps must be in
creased; whether this has become ne
cessary from a want Of economy in the
disposition OF the peoples money, or an
inattention and want Of righteousness in
the creation Of the objects causing the
expenditure, incompatible with thar cor
rect and careful discharge Of the duties
attached to the Office, and which the peo-
pie have not only RIGHT to expect but
to demand, | am not prepared to say
| am far from wishing to cast censure
upon those who have administered the
office, and there is much in their conduct
to applaud. They have doubtless dis
charged their duties according to the
honest conviction of their judgments.
And have only to add that tins branch
Of the duties OF the Office should be ex-
ercised with the utmost care and circum-
spection, with the single eye to the
general good of the whole country, and
partial and useless expenditures eau
tiously avoided.
| have also deemed it proper to state
to you my opinion on question which
has been lately much agitated. 1t is
well known to you that offers have late
iy been madesby several individuals to
erect the public buildings, and to make
them, with a large quantity Of land, a
donation to the county--accompanied
with an ofer of abundant security to
carry their propositions into complete
effect. believing as l do from the
Iiberality of the offers, that great advan-
tages must necessarily result to the
county from the acceptance, and that
the buildings may in this way be legally
erected, should certainly be in favor of
erecting the public buildings by dona-
ton instead of taration, if honored by
you with your choice; because should
consider such choice as an evidence of
the expression of your wishes on this
subject And if were to enumerate
the single exemption of taxes which,
without donation, must inevitably be
levied on you to erect these buildings, it
would form with You not only the strong
est inducement to desire to elect those
who would accept donation, but those
in favor Of taxation must see in your
course complete and entire justifca-
ton, and the more SO when it is known
that in so doing no breach ofpublic faith
can be allcdged.
Having thus given you my opinion
and feelings with every degree of sin
cerity, l can only add that | shall, il
elected, endcavor to discharge the du-
