Resignation of a deputy Sheriff!
Dear Sir-I feel il to be my duty to retire from
| the office of Deputy Sheriff, to winch your unso-
licited confidence and parliaily called me to-
The deicacy of this step will, trust be an apo
| logy for stating at large the reasons by which
| am now governed, A premature agitation of the
| question of Your successor have always endea-
yored to prevent, but as disposition Is nantes
ted to connect my name with the topic, and as
the idea generally prevails, that shall b. can
ddate for the office of sheriff, cannot consent
| to self disfranchisement, even il dictated by my
individual wishes. Diversities OF ulterior pre-
ference among the people are unavoidable. What
| ever may have been the course Of things h'ther-
| to, my experience has satisfied me that, at this
day, when the field OF selection has become 5"
much extended that it would be improper tor a
candidate for the Office which YOU now fill, to re-
tain station under YOU. Such being my impress
sion, the path of duty is plain, and submit with
cheerfulness. notwithstanding the personal sacrl-
fees which must make and nv example think
will prove essentially and permanently beneficial.
Allow me to present another view ot the sub
d. jeCt; YOU cannot stand before your constituents
for re detection, and the decision as to your sue
cessor must rest upon the unbought suiirageS OF
thi, county; from these considerations, tee' II
to be doubly my duty to resign post, the reten
ton ut which, may be calculated I'd inJure my
election Having explained, trust, in eleai
and satisfactory manner, the motives which 90
vern me in thus severing the Official ties by which
we have been associated, there remains but one
duty to perforn-it is to make my profound &C
acknowledgements for the steady support which II
the discharge of my official duties have rcceiv
e,, as well as for the personal kindness received
at your hands. Rest assured, that the success o
your executive duties and the happiness OF YOU
private life, will ever constitute objects OF tn
deepest solicitude with
4 Your sincere friend and ob't servant,
