disposed to punish him for conscientious dis
charge of his duty?
In the imperfect comparison Of Mr.. B. and
X. it was the honest intention Of an Elector,
to represent facts. without depressing Mr.. K.
II such has been. the effect, ! can only say.
that it is necessary and unintentional evil,
resulting from bringing together into one
view, (as was proper in canvassing their re-
spectiVe ments) persons, removed to such ~
lmmeasureable distance from each other, in
the qualifications for seat in Congress.
The reproach, supposed to be intended to
Mr.. n. on account Of his being Inechanick,
was altogether unthcught o.; and was not
mentioned as constituting any ground of OBJ
lection to him. 1t is certainly no disgrace to
person to be an industrious ,nechanick and
Itfurnishes an ample apology for not posses
sing the qualifications requisite to constitute a
wise legislator. Mechanicks are respecta-
bic class of citizens, and should he the last
person in the community to derogate from
their worth or standing. Blu: hope we shall
never send a man to. Washington to make
laws for the nation, merely because he is a
tinker, cobler, hawker, or paper-nlaker
much rather would send our 6 revolution
airy pensioners" whose /" grovelling expert
enceo and 6 wrinkled wisdom'' are better
suited TO promote the interest Of the country.
That Mr.. X. has moral worth, (Which is all
his friends contend for) am not disposed to
deny him and thousand others in the Dis
trct possess the same claim to represent US in
Congress.
/" A Citizen" asserts that Mr.. Bigelow was
not unanimously approved at the meeting
which nominated him. Here we are at issue.
The nomination was so announced, and no OPP
position to him appeared at the meeting.-
That there might have been persons present,
unfriendly y bis reelection, was not asserted
the sequcl has proved that there probably
were; but, it seems, they were either asham-
ed to avow the true grounds of their opposi-
ton to him; or supposed (the majority in his
favour being so grea) it would be of no avail.
With regard to tie character of the meet
ing at Fitchburg, it is well known, that it had
ITS origin IN no better motives than those i'm
puted TO it. There might have been, and
probably were persons at the meeting, influ-
enced by better motives-but few attended
1T, and those few, consisting chiefly of man
uiacturers, and persons entertaining personal
animosity to Mr.. Bigelow.
When Mr. Kendall was agreed upon as a
candidate TO Congress, from this District, it
was apparently with extreme reluctance that
he consented to stand, and finally consented
to favour the District with his valuable SER
vices, one Congress, provided they would then
excuse him. Since that time he has never
been regularly in nomination, thovgh he has
never declined, but has suffered himself to be
an instrument to divide the party to which he
owes very many distinguished favours.
1t only shews the sincerity of his profess
sions when nominated, and the regard enter
tanned for the party TO which he is so much
indebted.
