Sin: hereby make known to you my vacation
OF the Office of representative in Congress from this
State.
Invited by the will of the constituted representa-

branch Of Congress- and believing, after full refec-

be enabled to promote, with more efficiency to the
extent of my humble abilities, the interests of our
cherished State, have concluded TO accept the dis
tingushed trust which has been rendered. In thus
determining, regard the relation which has so long
united me with the people of Florida, as not only
remaining uninterrupted but as being still further
strengthened by the increased gratitude which this
new mark of their favor and confidence inspires
To prove myself by unremitted exertions in the
public service, if not wholly worthy, at least sim
cerely sensible Of the generous kindness OF my fel-
low-citizens in comforting upon me, through their
constitutional agents. this last proud distinction,
shall be my constant effort.

ambition and my most cherished hope, that, by

our common country; but TO the maintenance of thu
rights the redress of the wrongs, protection of thu

Putnam and Call. He has resigned. Whom shall
we select in his stead? West Florida, though she
brought few "troops to Troy in the late contest
yet those she did bring were choice and true; and
she has claims. Shall we select Yonge, or Floyd

His talents and his principles fit him for this post
He deserves it from the democrats for the service
he has rendered the party. No one, with the ex
ception of our senator's, has done SO much to pac

to sustain her character, 10 more devoted TO tn
interest of ALL her people.
