near is not only in the full enjoyment of all his

To The Toters ofhe City of Richmond.

Having served as one of your delegates in the
( General Assembly for as long period as was
contemplated at the time ofmy election, and du-
ring that period devoted to your service my whole
s time with the exception only few days of una
voidable absence, it seems to me that | may now
resi- gn the trust confded to me; and, accordingly,
| have to-day sent to the Governor letter of re-
signation.
Early in the session, the House of Delegates re-
feTed some parts of the new Constitution to the
committee for Courts of Justice and other portions
of to other committees to wit: the committee on
County Organization, the committee of Finance,
the committee of Privileges and Elections, the
committee on Militia Laws, and several special
committees. | was on none of these committees
except the committee for Courts of Justice and
was therefore the better enabled to attend to its
duties. In Withdrawing from the Legislature, it
is satisfaction to me to know that the matters
referred to the committee for Courts of Justice
have been generally acted on, and that the bills
reported by tito adapt the Code to the new Con-
stitution, have been generally passed.
In this state of the business of the LEGISLATURE
an additional justification for my withdrawal from
it will be found in the fact, that although short
time before taking seat in the Legislature, re-
signed 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 the
business of tie city
could not continue to discharge assiduously
the duties OF delegate, without sacrificing in a
great degree professional emolument las we'll as
personal comfort), and impairing seriously my
means for the support Of my family. Neverthe-
less, 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 it not
that al election is necessarily to be held to supply
the vacancy in the Senate, occasioned by the re-
signation of Col. Meredith; and when his sue
cessor is elected, it will impose upon the people
very little additional trouble to elect mine at the
same time.
Gratefully, acknowledge the honor conferred
on me by your electing me one of your delegates
without solicitation and by your leaving me I'M
trammeled to act as might deem most for your
welfare, Your making, so far as is known to me-
no complaints as to the manner in which have
fulfilled the trust imposed in me, is an additional
evidence of kindness which highly appreciate.
Respectfully, your fellow citizen,
