.RrcHaroNp. March asth, 1929
To the Freeh0i,ieTs Of Charlotte, Buckingham,
Prince xcdicard and Cumberland.
Unacquainted with the steps which may have
been taken since left the district fortnight ago,
preparatory TO the approaching Congre ssona cleo
ton, feel considerably embarrassed by two nomi-
nations from the County Of Cumberland in the
Enquirer oil the present week, and TO which my
attention was drawn for the first time, upon my
arrival here last night-The signed by five OF
my neighbours (most OF whom / know to be
my fast triends,) and the Their protesting to have
| the sanction OF "many voters" While on the
| one hand, cannot consent by any act OF mine, to
be viewed in the light of AN opponent to Capt.
Miller In any manner whatsoever, and have uni
formly declared for twelve months to all with
| whom conversed on the subject, that the
| reasons, which induced me to withdraw from pub
lie life, equally opposed my return to it; am yet
the other duly, sensible of that duty which pla-
ces the services OF us all at the command OF our
fellow-citizens, and of those particular obligations
| towards the district which past events have i'm
posed upon me. Unwilling in this state Of things
either to obtrude upon you, or TO violate per-
vading spirit among the people OF conducting their
| nominations and canvass without the Intervention
OF electioneering candidates, l feel it due to
dour to declare, thus promptly aud publickly, that
so far as am at liberty TO consult my wish
es, should be highly gratiiied to be elected your
repres enatve; for will not disguise 10 you that
the station in my estimation offers, in its digni-
ty s opportunity of usefulness 81 improvement
powerful attractions to chastened & honor able
| ambition. Ii, therefore, l have not rendered my
services to the district in the usual way, it is not
from any nsensibity to those attractions, but from
private considerations altogether personal to my
self. Conhding in the acknowledged discretion by
which the choice of the people will be governed,
| and satisfied with any position which may be as
signed me by that choice, subscribe myself
Your fellow citizen,

TO THE EDIFORE

SMALL Pox.-There at this time thirty
nine in the Hospital OF Small Pox patients in this
county; and Notwithstanding the disease has ap-
peared in its worst forms, owing, l presume, to
the weather, and the great medical attention be-
slowed on them, they are still living. few OF
the above number have not as yet taken the dis
temper; but having been exposed, have been re-
moved and noculated; some OF the first cases are
convalescent There several cases in the tsini-
ly OF MIR. Francis Watkins; one OF which, his son,
an interesting little boy about two yeats old has
proved fatal. Thus see this good man, whose
hospitality largely contributed to the support of the
Indians, while they were in the neighborhood,
painfully writing under the reflection, that his
children torn.trom his arms with disease, that
for5ids his friends and neighbors from assisting in
those last duties necessary in putting away the
dead. Why the Indians permitted 10 leave
Richmond with such deadly disease? Was there
no good Samaritan in Richmond willing to give the
information, that these children of the forest were
carrying with them death in its most hideous
shape! Il Resident Of the neighborhood.''
