Owing to the representations of a man, who was particularly delegated for that purpose, by my political and peon al enemies, of this County, the last legislature was induced to report charges against my official conduct. The same merciless pursuers of my "reputation and happiness, have been, and are still active in circulating those representations throughout the State, to create a prejudice against me and forestall public opinion. I therefore feel it a duty to myself and the inhabitants of this county to warn the public against crediting their malicious representations, and to request that their opinions relative to those charges may be suspended, until I shall have an opportunity of answering them before the proper tribunal.
