CARO- of the renowned editor consists oil quite
ber sort of ware, TO wit +: of divers sage and
ghry reasons why certain Sussex man, pideti-
Samuel Paynter, ought to be elected Governor
he State of Delaware--That is 10 say
First Reas0n-Why, because the said Samuel

RyOm RpaSDn- Because he has been Major, a
onel and General, a Representative, Senator
$ae Treasurer Judge, and the Lord knows
! beside therefore he claims title to Office by
re than twenty years adverse posse ssion-ergo-
/ has right to the Office oil Governor. C0geH
F,@re.
tHiM Reasoa-Because during the late war
tn the enemy was in our Capes' this man OF
pits, who was al that time State Treasurer al
being so secured as not to risk cent on his own
|Ount "unhesitaiingly" lentto the public the pub
own money for the purpose OF preventing or re-
Ming an invasion, which threatened the destruc-
Glot his own private property And because du-
! the same war he procured contract Tor sup
3nr the troops at Lewistown with bread stufts ;
so ardent was his patriotism that he would sui
no person to participate in the glo'y OF this en-
prise (aIlhough the profit was only snug one)
consequently his own poor mill was kept trudg-
! day and night, while many in the neighbor-
were idle-erg0-he ought TO be governor
licttyl
Fourth Reason--Be ause during the said war he

so'rth ReSa0n-Because many profitable othce'
become vacant in the couse Of the ensuing CUB
aotla term and because the said Gen. Paynter Il
psn not to be obstinate, and in the distribution O
Punlments viii be easily governed by those wh'

interchangeable ought 10 be the Governor
