 •Gentlemen, • ' 
 
 DUTY an* inclination induce me to offer myfelf na the prefent oc<tafion. In the courfe 
 .of Thirteen Seffion, of the l^.i^^^txui, during which you ha-Te honoured me with your fupport, 
 ibme experience muft have been acquired, and you haveia a right to command thefe fervices which 
 it miy enable me fo reader. Nothing could perfuads me to decline offering them, but the convidion 
 -that it might be out of my power to g^.ve the attention to your interefts in my place, which U the 
 iadifpenfible duty of the Members you return to represent you in the Affemblyj ard upon this 
 principle, I avowed m the courie of laft winter, my intention waa, not to come" forward as a Can- 
 ^didate for your favor at this Ele£Hon. 
 
 Circumftances of a private nature only, gave me then reafon to believe that I ihouW iind it ne- 
 ceffary to ^o to England in the courfe of this Summer, and to remain there fcr two Seflioas of the 
 Provincial LegiQaiure. Under the intentlonrwhich thefe didUted t^ »~r rould I have offered to be- 
 xome one of your Reprefentatives, I would have proved, myfelf unworthy of the confidence you have 
 .heretofore placed in me, and been degraded in my o«m mind, by pretending to embrace a duty which 
 I knew would be out of my power to fulfil. 
 
 3ut thefe circumftances do not now exift, and I can freely avow that I have every reafon to be- 
 lieve 1 fhaU be able to attend to my duty in the Houfe, if returned there, as one of your Mem- 
 bers for the next four, as I have hitherto done for the laft twelve years-, and I flatter myfelf, no charge 
 is made, of my want of attendance when the Public interefts required the prefence of your Re- 
 
 prefentative. 
 
 With this explanation, and avowal, which have been called from me by fome of you' being mifm- 
 formed of my motives for the declaration referred to, I appear here, reftingupon your opinion and 
 favor, and can fafely appeal tc all and each of you, without depreciating or attempting in any de- 
 gree to depredate, the principles, the charafter, or the fituation of any of the other GenUemen 
 «?ho offer themfelvcs to day as Candidates for your fupport. 
 
 • I am refpeilfuUy, 
 
 Gentlemen, •• 
 
 Your acft ebedleat Serrsoti
