FELLOW CITIZENS: | candidate for your suf-
frages the ensuing election for Sheriff in the
County of Union. My connection with the army, how
ever, has for months removed me from that fam
liar intercourse with you that would generally be de-
sirable. But, trusting that may have a due allow
ance for this seeming Inconvenience, with view to
repeated expressions of desire that should become
candidate, have consented to do so-though under
vastly different circumstances from those which
rounded four years ago Many you have realized
the hardships of war and the dangers Of battle; but
without recalling the past let look hopefully the
future and permit me, in grateful Acknowledgements
of the fyors received your hands then, with many
others previous to that time, to ask your cordial sup
port now. If elected, l viii what industry and
ability possess to fulfill the obligations Of the ofcc
in such manner as, hope, may be satisfactory
to YOU. On the contrary, if am not elected shall
consider that you have Gone wrong and that
have no right to criciSe because your sufragcs
against me. But am fully sensible of the distinction
conferred by being elected to the position for which
am candidate and shall be proud to receive your
votes | shall ever be earnest and faithful to prove
myself worthy of the responsible imposed by the
same. And, in conclusion, allow hope you will
remember your friend, and on the day of election
