we die we are forced to swap our

PRAIRIE CITY, l. t., June 20, 1855.
FELLOW OF DELAWARE
DISTRICT IL have heard that the
report has gained extensive circu-
lation throughout this district that
] voted in the last council in favor
Of the repeal of the present permit
law, and that before doing this l
sent home and had my wife renew
permits for my hands for a year.
/ take this occasion to say to the
good people of Delaware district
who hOnored me with n seat in the
last council, that this report is
without any foundation in fact. 1t
is true that l did write home to my
wife TO renew permits for my
hands, because l knew from TIE
general talk among the members
that this law would be repealed,
but it is also true, as every men,
ber from this district knows, that |
voted against the repeal of this law
from first to last-myself, Albert
Morris, George Crittenden, and one
other whose name l now disre-
member, being the only ones in
the lower house of council who did
vote against it. / again announce
myself q candidate for reelection,
and take this occasion to say that
| am opposed to the sale of our
lands west of 96. / think it would
be best to organize a new district
there, and encourage cur people TO
settle up that country. We need
it for the rising generation. l am
opposed to the employment of
Colonel Philips as resident agent
at Washington, and will use my
influence against him in case Of my
reelection. l pledge myself also
to vote against any repeal of the
permit law.
l now return my sincere thanks
to the good people Of old Delaware,
and say to them if | am reelected
they shall have no cause to regret
the choice.
Respectfully,
