= To the Voters of the City Of Rich
Misunderstanding served one of your delegates in
the General Assembly for as long period as was
contemplated at the time of my election, and
during that period devoted to your service my
of unavoidable absence, 1t seems to me that may
now resign the trust confded to me and, accord.
ngly, have to-day sent to the Governor letter oil
resignation.
Early in the session, the House Of Delegates re
ferred some parts of the new Constitution to the
committee for Courts of Justice and other portions
of it to other committees to wit the committee on
County Organization the committee OF Finance, the
committee OF Privileges and Elections, the commit
tee on Militia Laws and several special committees
was on none of these committees except the COM
mttee for Courts of Justice and was therefore the
better enabled to attend to its duties. In withdraw
ing from the Legislature it ia satisfaction to me to
know that the matters referred to the committee
for Courts of Justice have been generally acted Cd,
and that the bills reported by it to adapt the Code
to the new Constitution, have been generally
passed.
In this state of the business of the Legislature an
additional justification for my withdrawal Fl ON it
will be found in the fact, that although short time
before taking seat in the Legislature, resigned q
place in the City Council. the voters of Madison
Ward have, this spring, again elected me to the
Council and am, in consequence of this election,
still giving good deal of time to business of the
city
could not continue to discharge assiduously the
duties of delegate, without sacrificing, in great
degree, professions al emoument Gas well personal
comfort) and impairing seriously my means for the
support of my family. Nevertheless, my sense of
the burthens imposed on the people by the great
number of elections, would have made me scruple
to trouble them with an election this year Of my
successor, were not that election IL necessarily
to be held to supply the vacancy in the Senate, oc.
casioned by the resignation cf Col. Meredith and
when his successor is elected, it will impose upon
the people very little &C ditiona trouble to elect
mine at the same time.
Gratefully, l acknowledge the honor conferred
on me by your electing me one of your delegates
without solicitation, and by your leaving me un
trammelled to act as ! might deem most for your
welfare. Your making, SO far as is known to me,
no complaints as to the manner i'll which have full.
tiled the trust reposed in me- is an additional evi.
dence of kindness which highly appTe ciate.
Respectfully, your fellow citizen.
