recep,acles, Through ignorance or design
OF error and misrepresehi alton. Thus do The
acts of the present administration justify those
very doings of its predecessor which were ar

The reason is obvious. The last administration
acted on the maxims OF long established usage
and common sense, and with a strict eye Al,

glad to say that 1t dspenses with the extra session

passed the II of Delegates The charter is renewal

upon so that Its charter may expire simultaneously with
that Of the Farmers Bank,

Is not therefore, ofthe highest moment that our plant

In reviewing the manner in which we have been
deprived OF legal representative, III the Congress
of the United States. we perceive glarins sub
version OF the dearest rights of the people, that
cannot hut feel indignant ut the decision of the Ma
tional Legislature; by which conceive the elective
trunchise for time virtually destroyed IL is sole
csm in politics 10 say that the legislature of coun-
try, governed by known and established laws,
do act that portion OF the citizens cannot obey,
without being slaves resist without being rebels
Such, however, is the sad dilemma III which the PEG
pic of this district involved by decision not
founded in law, and which has example in the
history of our country. The principle BY the cper
alton of which Your election hom Congress has been
effected, is particularly abhorrent to who vOlrc
their rights att prvilcg"sit marks them with the
badge of sSrvude, and if not fn tunately checked
BY the sovereign and controlling power, involves a
surrender Of their liberties. Though a majority
of the qualified votes of the district were bestow-
ed upon you, notwithstanding continuance of
the polls IN the Borough Of Norfolk, in viola
ton of the law of the State, vet. it is true
an individual has made himself instrument in the

Surely he who has thrs become the representative OF
n minority in violation OF established principle
must at proper time, crouch under The indignant
voice of an nsulted people. Whilst we cannot coun
tenancc the operation of principle inconsistent With
