have consented to come before you
as a candidate TO represent you in
the Senatorial bran h Of your next

posed Of the Counties of Lincoln and
Franklin. AS the canvass has drawn

the necessity of issuing a circular,
giving you the outlines of my polit-
ical sentiments on the subjects excl
ting the public mind in our State; /
shall endeavor to be very brief and
plain. On the subject of internal
improvement, am opposed to the
present extrayagant system Of our
State; and if | should be your choice,
l should meet any Bond Bill that
might be introduced for Rail Road
or other purposes to involve the State
in a greater debt, with opposition. l
should also, if possible, try to re-
lieve her from the obligations of her
Rail Road Bonds where it wpuld not
interfere with rights already vested,
by individuals or otherwise,
I am in favor of an Improvement
in our Common School System, but
how it is to be brought about, | sug-
gest,not. / shall appeal to the sages
of our land for advice onathat subject.
I now turn to the all absorbing ques-
tion--that is the liquor question:
| ain opposed to legislation Upon that
subject at present, as the condition
of our country is prosperous one
at this time l am opposed to the
proposed law of Prohibition in toto,
as can not conceive it would effect
the object aimed at; it would, there
fore, be the reverse inits effect. AS
there.is nothing Of a national char
cter likely to come before the Leg
islature except the election Of a T.
States Senator; in the selection Of
which ! would v pie for sound ma
tional Democrat, but in the event
that a Democrat can not be elected,
/ will make the best selection that |
can from the whig ranks
If ! should be the happy recipient of

as any other man; and if not, l shall
submit to your better choice cheer
