MIR. KlTCHELL'S ADDRESS
10 the Electors Of the I'd Congressional district
In presenting myself candidate for your suf
TRACE, as Representative In Congress for this dis
trict, 1t was my intention to have visited the sew
eral counties previous to the election and to have
formed, with you, as far as practicable, person
al acquaintance. With this view had proceeded
US lar as shelbyvle, when the news reached tha
place OF disastrous defeat of ia party of our vol
unteer militia, and with it request of the Gov.
ernor Tor an additional number of men for the
protection OF our frontier citizens To enable
me to comply with that request, immedately
returned home: ana Shall meet the troops at the
time and place appointed This unexpected oc.
currence will probably prevent me from seeing
you until after the election shall have taken place
To your candor and intelligence must therefore
submit my pretensions with brief remark Upon
some Of the most important subjects that at pre-
sent excite the public mind, and of those mos;
Immediately interesting to you. My remarks
must, under the present circumstances, be concise
but will promise you that they shall be frankl,
gwen, and as explicit as the nature of this com.
munieation will admit The Tariff, Internal I'm
provements, United States Bank, Public Lands
and the removal Of the Indians, are subjects of
all Importance to the peace, harmony and pros
perity Of the Union; to these must confine nv
