WHAT DELEGATE WILLIAMS HAS TO
SAY TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.

No the Editor of the Democrat:
on my return to my constituents generally,
IL ii but. proper that | should give some
account OF my stewardship and of the man
ner in which have discharged the Important
trusts committed to my care. In the first
place, I must inform you that the Republican
party was In the minority, but we held to-
4 Rether like band OF brothers until the Dem
oeratie party split In two, and we held the
balance Of power.
/ was member OF different important com
/ mittees and attended faithfully to my duties.
and was never absent from the Convention
upon any occasion when subjects affecting the
welfare Of the poorer classes, whether white OF
,colored, were under discussion. In our ses-
Eion we have framed q new constitution,
which will bear comparison with that OF any
other State. Wehave reduced salaries, cut of
useless expenses, and reformed our judiciary
and other departments. We havesettled the
St1te debt on q basis satisfactory to both our
creditors and the pC oule. We have provided
Tor d college where colored young men may
have all the advantages that are enjoyed BY
the white race. When any measure was IN
troduced that was likely to be injurious TO the
Goiured people. ALWAYS used my vote and In
jiuence against 1t. Ny friends, the reason
why We are met together Is to Let you know
that e have done all the good for you That
was In my power, and that have acted hon
est and true In the position with which you
hOnored me.
We must give oil credit to our President,
& Lieut. Coy. Witt. who showed no favor, to
anybody, whether white Or cOlored, but ncted
with strict impartiality and justice all the
time; and must return thanks TO Mr. Poche,
Of St.James. one OF the ab'est gentlemen In
Tho Convention. for the way In which he al
ways defended the rights of the poor. MY
