10 me freehoiders Of Charlotte, buckingham,
Prince EdDard and Cun,berlaRd
In reading the Richmond papers of this day I
discovered piece signed :" a Citizen of Charlotte -
proposing that you should at the approaching cleo
lon' 10 be held Ter member OF Congress IN the
place oil Mr. Handoph, give your sutfIages 10 Mr.
Giies, gentleman who is rot a resident of YOUR
district am sorry that any citizen's patriotism
should have so FAR led him asiray as to propose any
measure, which would produce so humiliating a
spectacle, as Your being compelled 10 resort to a
nelsibourins district for representative To such
proposition, as reeholder of the district enter
my protest. Although Mr.. Giles may have manifest
Ell disposition again 10 go into the councils OF the
nation, am sure he would not he guilt, of so
mach imprudence, as to otter his services to dis
uict In which he does not reside. Indeed, am as
snred Mr. GILES has bad no agency in The PROPOSE
ton, and, II seems 10 be admitted that it would haye
oeeh wrong Tor him TO have done so. III il would
be improper for Mr.. Giles TO make tender of his
services TO neigAbouring district, will il not be
equally improper that his friends should hold a poll
or hin! But we are told such course is not pro-
hiofed; mat Is odmItied; heless there appears
great impropre IN it. Ii the pre- -eat dstrict sys
TEN does not afford sufficient range oil SELECTION.
change II, and have general ticker law by V b;ch
you may select the whole Virginia delegation
from hichmond, or any other part OF tie STATE
1t t"ere Is no necessity of a close connection be-
tween he req sentative and ibe constituent, and
hat the dutre- oil The representative are entirely
national, extend he range of selection still wider
and go beyond the limits of the state and perhaps
Virginia may press into the councils of the nation
that distinguished man, A. Gallalin.
IN nor Influenced by any hostility to Mr. Giles:
Tor am tain entertain for him as a poltician
40 favourable opinion as a 80 citizen of Char
loite," or any other man. 1t is the example OBJ
Ject 10; and because this district only
among the gentlemen who are candida es but many
others, whose virtue and talents would do credit
10 the state. AIthoughit is confessed hat Virginia
would be glad at This time, see Alr. Giles in the
councils OF the nation, his own patriotic district
has not thought it proper TO insult their bishly
respectable representative by asking him TO resign,
20 make way for MT. Ge-, and II IL believed there
would be at least much improperly in Nh,
course, as 10 invite Mr.. Giles into the Charlot,.
district.
II the district is destitute of virtue and talents
as not to afford respectable representative carve
il up, and attach the counties TO some other dis
tricts, and form one other in some more enlieh-
tented part OF The state. The district has never ,ei
had the mis- ortune, MOTTO have highly respectable
representative, and it is hoped she viii not he nm
der The necessity Of taking the hand plant of any
other district.
