aad that many of his American consti-
taents complained loudly and bitterly
Il his conduct at that time.
~. Under such circumstances, find
inc that new convention is talked OF in
several counties, which would again
open the question Of slayery-seeing
that Mr. Kane admits, that by the agita
ton of the question "the hopes Of those
who would wish a change are kept alive"
and fearing from his past conduct that
he is of that number, do not at present
wish to increase his influence by electing
him to congress, where he might exert
that influence to have all the federal ap-
pointments in the state conferred onthose
who are in favor of slavery, and by adj
ding theirs to his own exertions, render
himself so much more formidable to
our interest and happiness.
These are my reasons, l and hope that
those who condemn the vote of our sena-
tors, will have more consistency than
to become the supporters Of man who
wished to introduce slavery among our
selves. The first case can never recur ;
it is settled for ever (: but the case Of sla-
very in our own state will present itself
whenever a new convention is called,
which may happen soon, and then all
the "black sheep" will shew themselves,
with the lipe Black ram at their head.
7 shall be pardoned, hope, for adopting
Mr.. Kane's own language.

On the subject of a division of the

with regard to new county, or to new

j am anxious to see our northern boun-
Diary established; and whenever the pco-
pie of the northern settlements OF the
county shall petition for a division, l
shall be willing to accommodate their
wishes.
Fellow Citizens, all / haze to add is,
if ! should be honored with your conf
dence, my best abilities shall be used to
discharge my duty with diligence and
fidelity.

FELLOW CITIZENS,
now come before you as a candidate for
your suftrages at the ensuing election, for coun-
" commissioner; and as the people must un-
doubtedlybe tired of election harangues, Ishall
trouble them but little. There is one question
which appears to excite the public mind, viz :
the erection of the public buildings by dona-
hon instead OF taxation. l am decidedly in ia
Nor OF any lawful measure that can be adopted
tor the erection of the public buildings for
the county of Madison, without taxing the
people, and in favor of any advantageous dona-
,ion Tor the use OF the county, that will screen
the people from heavy tax. 1t is well known
that the time of service, power, and duties of
inc county commissioners, are to be regulated
and defined by law and let them be who
they may, they should always act with caution.
And can venture to say, that those who no.
nor me with their votes, believing that they
are voting for one that is not easily biased from
his known duty when engaged in bubble bust
ness, will not be deceived And | am yours.

TO THE ELECTORS OF MADI.
SON COUNTY,

FELLOW CITIZENS,
have thought proper to offer myself
TO you as candidate for yours ufIrages,
for the office OF County Commissioner
of the County of Madison.
1t will be / presume sufficient for me,
to observe, that the prominent motives
which has induced me to adopt this
course is desire to be useful to my
fellow citizens. The situation of the
county Tor long time past and to the
present moment with regard to its revi-
nue. is deplorable,-it need only be
stated that the county is in debt, notwith-
standing the large taxes which have been
imposed end collected from you, to per-
ceive that your burthcns must be in
creased; whether this has become ne
cessary from want of economy in the
disposition of the peoples money, or an
inattenton and want Of judiciousness in
the creation Of the objects causing the
expenditure, incompatible with that 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 this branch
of the duties OF the office should be ex-
erclsed 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 a question which
has been lately much agitated. 1t is
well known TO you that offers have late
ly been madesby several individuals to
erect the public buildings, aad to make
them, with large quantity of land, a
donation to the county--accompanied
with an offer Of abundant security to
carry their propositions into complete
effect. Believing as do from the
liberality of the offers, that great atvan-
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 taxation, 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 indlcement to desire 10 elect those
who would accept donation, but those
i'll favor of taxation must see in your
course a complete and entire iustfca-
ton, and the more SO when it is known
that in SO doing no breach ofpublic faith
can be alledged.
Having thus given you my opinion
and feelings with every degree of sin
cerity, l can only add that shall, if
elected, endeavor to discharge the du-
ties with faithtulness, prompncss, and
impartiality. Many might serve you
with more abilities, but none with more
zeal, than your fellow citizen,
WILLIAM L. MAY.
