To the Freehoiders of the Senatorial District,
composed Of the Counties Of Henrico, Charles
City, .Netc Kent, James City, York, Wartoick
# Elisabeth CITY, and the Cities of Richmond
Sr Wiiiidmsburg.-
Gentlemen: One whose interest, are the same
as your own, takes the liberty of recommending to
you the following gentlemen, to represent you in
the approaching Cow ention: John Marshall, Phi
lip Norborne Nicholas, s. James Semple, sen'r.-
The sentiments of these gentlemen upon the great
questions likely to be agiated in Convention, are
well known, and known to accord with those of
the people Of the district. They are "good men
and true. John Tyler has heretofore been NAM
ed, and recommended to the district; the recon-
mendation met with the unanimous sanction of
the delegation, aud his name would have been
added to the three here recommended, but for the
fact, that Mr.. Tyler has not been consuted-and
intimatons from some of his particular s. personal
friends, that it would probably be almost iInprac-
hcabie for him, without very great sacrifices, to
serve in convention in the month of October, and
probably November, just Immediately previous to
the time, when he will necessarily be compelled
10 leave home Tor an absence OF six months, TO
ter upon his duties U. States Senator from this
State. These considerations have induced those
who have heretofore recommended Mr. TYLER,
tho reluctantly, to give him up. And it now be-
comes our duty to search out some fourth ndivid-
uai.-There are several other very distinguished
men in the district, either one of whom, / should
be pleased to see in the Convention, provided their
sentiments tallyd with those Of the people of the
district but, do not know their opinions, and,
therefore, cannot at this time nd them, or
either OF them.-The vast importance Of this SUBJ
Ject admonishes us to disregard both party s. Sec
tional feelings, and to select gentlemen of the best
talents and integrity, wherever to be found in
the district
In Convention, the interest OF every portion Of
this district must be the same. All must be SEN
sible OF this.-In conclusion, l will add. tina,
the three gentlemen here recommended to the
district, have not been recommended without due
deEberation, AMI consultation, with those whose
duty and interest it was, to make themselves
acquainted with the merits and pretensions of
those who were already recommended, or likely to
be recommended 10 the district. And that the
recommendation OF these gentlemen, meets the
appreciation OF great majority, II not the whole
OF the delegation from the district.
