4 U carer bruct0fl, y. IL FOreT,
Ipm. H. Roy, I. S. Dabney, r. Esquires.
J. Poufson, and Tho. BostCeH,
Gentlemen-I have Just received your letter OF
the 10th instant, informing me, &c that at meet
ing at Matthews Courthouse of Delegates from
the counties of Accomack, Northampton, Glouces-
ter, Matthews and Middlesex, to nominate four
suitable persons TO represent the Senatorial Dis
trict. composed of the aforesaid counties, in the
Convention to he held in Richmond on the first
Monday in October next, to form Constitution
Tor our State, "A. p Upshur, s. K. Parker, t. r.
featman and myself, were nominated and
commended TO the good people of the District"
IL was, no doubt, known TO the Delegates as
sembled at Matthews Courthouse, that | had
previously been nominated as a candidate for the
from the counties OF Accomsck and Northampton,
at Bell-Haven, on the 7th of March-and that /
had consented TO become q candidate.
/ regret that my official duties will not permit
me to comply with your request, to visit the re-
spective counties of the District the Court days
of each county, in the month of May. This,
however. is rendered the less important, because
my opinions, relative to the defects supposed to
exist in the Constitution of Virginia, (and which
were givosl IN answer to letter from Oliver Lo q.
gan, one of the members of the meeting at Bell
Haven,) have been published, and generally cir
culsted throughout the District. That letter con-
tains candid exposition of such opinions, as I
have formed different subjects, upon which the
Convention will probably be called on to act, and
If Il shall be the pleasure OF the good people
OF the District, that should be member of the
Convention, L can only promise faithful dis
charge OF the important trust confded to me.
For the polite and hattering manner in which
you have communicated the determination of the
meeting, of which you were members, you will
please accept my thanks
Respectfully, your most obd't,
THO. Il. JOYNES.

will readily excuse me ior not visiting them ia
person; respect, which II would be not less my
80 without ncglecting my official duties.
In consequence Of the late period at which
my letter was received, my reply to it thro the
public prints, win probably not reach any part Of
the District, soon enough TO answer the views
with which that mode Of communicate was re-
commended. 1 have considered il most proper,
therefore, to avail myself Of the opportunity pre-.
scented by Gen. Parker's visit to the Western
Shore, to communicate directly with those of you.
who reside in that part Of the District. From the
fact, that you have asked exposition of my
views and principles, on the important subject be-
fore US, venture to hope, that they are already
generally understood. Indeed, 1 have, on yari-
Gus occasions, as a member OF the lie legislature,
fully and frankly disclosed all my opinions; aud
these will, undoubtedly, be explained, so far as il
may be desired, by my associates in that body,
who represented the several counties in the Dis.
trict, at the various periods alluded to. ! enter
tain the same opinions row, which l then express
ed, and which have held from the first moment
that this agitating question was suggested Un-
der these circumstances, there is, perhaps, the
less necessity for my entering into details upon the
subject, thro' the public prints; course which
should not hesitate to adopt, if had time to dc it.
My communication, however, could not reach
the Press, until more than half of the elections
in the District will have been held.
Permit me to express hope, that whoever may
he clothed with this awful trust, will enter the
NonVenuon Win cool ahu temperate Judgment
and conciliatory feelings. From the deliberations
of men of this character, we have more reason for
hope than for fear. IL appears to me, not to be
difficult TO nix the government upon a safe and
equitable basis and to satisfy the reasonable de-
mands of all parties, without placing our Legisla-
ton under the controul of any one section of the
Stale. IL have different interests among us, il
ought to be desirable TO all, to preserve such ball
ance of power between them, as will ensure pro-
lection and safety TO every alike. This end
can doubtless be attained, by course of hberai-
ty, mutual concession, and fair compromise. In
this manner, and in this manner only can we hope
to form Constitution, which will be generally
acceptable to the people, and serve TO quiet the
dangerous and alarming excitements of this sub
ject
With great respect, your fellow citizen,
a. p. UPSHUR.
