MADISON,

e have been informed that a-

erserious' accident has hap

Independent Electors of In-

4iana. milled by my citizenship, to ve when you are disposed to I presume it requires no afgy to solicit your suffrages, hout farther preface then, I f myself as a candidate to rernt you in the 15th congress." ould ill become me to dwell my pretensions ; I shall nei- . attempt to insult your judgt by an eulogium on my ta-' nor disgust your feelings a parade of my integrity11 other sources than a trumpf my own, you will learn t may be necessary to form r opinions. But it is perhaps irtant, and it is usually conted nccess-.iry for a candidate Jake a general declaration of political creed. In conform ien to a usage so correct and Kent, I stare that I am a rcfcan, that my political sentifs aie grounded upon the sa.maxims wliich compose and "nt the frabric of our govern - lam aware that there is subject, which is deemed, and of primary impor. ?e m deciding your choice. nght of instruction. I acMcdc that right, it exists, perty docs not ; they are copit principles if the one is

disregarded the other is destroy, ed. On this subject however, there is always another question predicated on the first ; what constitutes this instruction ? Is it the noisy declamation of a few factious demagogues ? It is the expressed will of a few partisans in the corner of a district ? Is it the report of those busy characters

who pretend to know every mans mind and every mans business ? Most certainly it would not only in derogation of his duty- but ridiculous for a representative to listen to such instructions. What then is the essence of the instruction? The very git, substance and force of the instruction is contained in the suffrages which constitute the agency. It is the general understanding of the representative's political sentiments, judgment and integrity; of the existence of which understanding his election is evidence. If the representative therefore pursues a course opposite to this understanding, he is not only guilty of denying the obligation of his instructions, but of a breach of faith. Where new questions arise and the will of his constituents can by any means be ascertained, the representative is bound by that will, whether expressed or implied. Amid the multitudinous subjects which come before legislatures, interests, equities and rights often clash. Here the legislator's course become thorny and difficult. He must examine, collate, compare and prefer the greater always to the less Private interests, feelings and obligations must therefore always yield to the paramount rights of the public. On questions of expediency, propriety, policy, the representative is always bound by the will of his constituents ; but no instruction, nor agreement, can sanction wrong or excuse manifest injustice. Presuming that you will exercise your judgments and your feelings discreetly and independently, I rest with confidence on your decision ; anxious to win, but more anxious to deserve to win.
