sr eausss, there is moi generally much o..
yer six hnndreJ votes poIIed Il she gens-
raj election. Now The MhrIs number Of
names On The Instructions received through
| the hands Of Arthur Smith Esq, which
were al that received II favor Of de-
mocraiic Senator, amounted 10 precisely
THREE HUNDRED AND TWO. or
this number, SEVEN individuals. atleast
--of whom have preserved list
were also signers Of tie Instructions TO
vote for q Bank Senator; besideb.i have
reason 10 heIieve there ave some names
that arc not qualified voters, leaving out
the seven whose weight would be equal on
both sides, there would remain only
TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY-FIVE
on, Of about SEVEN hundred voters. NJ
A. wish 10 presentihis matter IN lis true
light 10 my constituents, have been thus
precise; having preserved copies Of all
the institutions received. which can be
inspected BY any person who may wish
10 satisfy himself On The subject. II That
part on the county where reside. ! was
instructed By majority TO vote for .
Bank Senator. But there mol bring 2
majority d the county on either sids, /
Exercised MY own sentiments, ard Eoled
for Mr.. Henderson. When it is coRsii
dered that tho county was literally can
sacked, sRd thai seyegalsof the Cosnty
officers were engaged ~ getting signefs,
tie attempt to obtain a majority Of .lhe
l4aslifeG voters Of the county was COM
plete ABORTION, and proves quite conrlu-
slveIy what Islaye slways believed, thai
La large majority Of the county are per,
IfeclIy satisfied with NY COURSE. Several
rho signed Instructions 10 opposition to
my sentiments, iniorpsd me afterwards
that they did not understand Il properly
Or they Would not have signed. Il is a
well known fact that many respectable
citizens VIM belong to the democratic par.
|ty are ID favor 81 Nstion5l Bank. Mr..
Henderson 10 ia favor pf such an institu-
ton, as Gsca! agent to aid in collecting,
preserving, and distributing NE Public
Revenue, and 10 regulate the currency Of
The coutry, His chief competitor the
Hon'I G. p. Saith, is Nulliter, and 10

such OF my constituents as .psefer tie SEN
timents OF the latter, will state that had
my vote been given u him, Ii would not

A fen. individuals who comprise the
nucleus Of the opposition TO me, and a
mong them, Que Of my former competit-
ors, who, it seems, 10 still netsled at my
being mose popular than hiSself, have
tried in vain to make II aEpearby aa,sls-
mcnt in the Gahstin Star, that MAS in
sssucteJ by q majority Of the qualified
voters Of the county, 10 vote for demo-
cratic Senator. Will these very ofiicious
and sagaoious gentlemen point 10 the in
st.uctious iha, | received to vote for a,
NpliGer? Do they not know that the
chief competitor Of WI. Henderson, was
a Nalll6er? Do they not know sba, NY
