TO the Voters o f the county Of
WASN'T NgtOn.

I beg leave respectfully to announce myself
a candidate for reelection as Commissioner OF
the Revenue, for the upper District.
This announcement has been deferred out Of
respect for the claims Of another, whose recent
withdrawal has been published.
Employments of a private nature upon my
farm and that of my mother, together with
ether business as well as the limited public du-
ties I may have to perform, will prevent me
from canvassing the county and calling upon
the voters at their own houses, which indeed
may be regarded as unnecessary or improper ia
the present state Of the country.
II reelected, I will perform the duties of the
Office to the best of my abilities--if defeated
shall cheerfully submit to the public decision,
