It will occur to you that at the last General Election I did not offer myself by advertisement; on the morning of that election I was conducted /o the Hustings with cordiality and friendship, and was received -within the Hustings with equal marks of esteem and approbation. I did not obtrude myself on the public ; I %vas unanimously chosen by shew of Iiaads. In my address of thanks for so flattering and distinguished a mark of your favour, I pledged myself '• 'o justify your choice by a zealous and sedulous attention to the public ser-uice ;" and now. Gentlemen, I have the confidence to declare to you that I have not been deficient In mv duty, that I have kept my promise, and performed my covenants with the pubhc ; that a. your Representative. I have acted a disinterested and independent part, having nothing «lse in view than the welfare of the country. During the .hort «ssion, of th« Us. Legislature, I >he-.v.d a solicitous and persevering regard for the concerns of the Pro- vince, in the prosper.ty of which I have «>me interest. I .,a, engaged to you by Indentures for four years; I have «rved but one year : r.. have not dismissal m. ; I ha« don. nothing to forfeit your good opinion, and therefore hope you wUl not withdraw your confidence. I speak to you. Gentlemen, with the franltnes, and ca.dour becon-.ing a man fond of rational and practical liberty, and proud of our free Constitution, a. a fellow citizen residing among you for thirty-f.vo year». in socal and fnendly u.tercourse. through the various successions of families. His Excellency the Governor in Chief, by the constitutional exercise of the Royal prerogative in caUing a new Parlia- ment, " has recurred to the sense of his Majesty s subjects ;" I follow his exar^le, / uppeal unto you.
