To the citizens mi i ekctcrs cf the ecuntiet cf 'foferssn, Jennings, .V? v "i ;tt. Fellow Citizens, As I consider the privilege of filling the difft rent otEces in our elective eminent -uith the men cf cur eh:ice the first political privilege Vf enjoy; or in other words, that the treedom of choice is the essence of our freedom, and that the prosperity and duration of all free governments depends on a prudent exercise of the privilege, I am from principle opposed to those arts hich often obtain in elective governments calculated to subvert or destros that freedom. It is the duty of the candidate to present himself in bis real character, and he oujrht to stand or fall on his own merits. When I consented to become can lidate it was w ith much de liberation and diffidence. Th nigh making no pn. tensions to high liursrv acquirements, and legal knowledge, v ach are considered the ornament of the professional character, and thought by some tube indispensable ta a represent ative; yet w ith the

exceptions t have noticed, and with my want of oratofial abilities which are not apt to be acquired in the walks of the laboring farmer, I was not aware of serious objections to me as a candidate. Conscious of the correctness of my principles, nnd that I was invading no man's privilege but enjoying ray own, I did not expect to be assailed by the foul weapons of electioneering defamation. In this I have been mistaken. A report has been circulated that I have become a candidate in order to promote some secular, or rt If-aprran dizing views of a certain denomination of christians to which have attached myself. It is hard tr prove a negative, but I call on the circulater of this calumny to retVr to one act of my life, or one word rf my life that would afford the slightest found ition for this detan.ition. He appears to be an adapt in the art ol defaming. A move popular theme of de fanution coald not easily be studied, or one more repugnant to my principles, or wound ng to my feeling-; and if my character should be so arfected bv it as to prevent my election, (which I hope will not he the case) I shad still be bttter olf than this dtfamer; I shall have a clear conscience, which no man who assassinates the character ( f anotlur can have. I gl jry in the constitution, that provides that no re ligious opinions shall be the u t vi orBce in our state. I hve s-iid the candi late ought to present himst If to the view ot Ids fellow cii! ns in his real character, and Nliee me this is all I-want; but I do r.ct wish to stand in your presence cohered with ths odiua. of foul defamation. 1 cannot know cettainly that a more e tei.si vl- acquaintance in tKs district waultl eperaie in mv favor, but beliee it wouk:; be th ;t as it

V e are informed by the General, that the site is as nearly central as any that could be selected ; and perhaps, unites as many natural advantages as any spot of ground in the western country; being a high, dry, rich and well timbered piece of ground, surrounded by an immense tract of country of first rate land, abounding witfx the most excellent and durable streams for mills and other machinery of every description. The distance from Coryd in, the pre-C it seat of government, to the loaudhitc is computed at lOM miles, and lio n this town it is calculated at lOO miles to a tlirect course. On the town tract are seated eleven families, and by the bet information they have cleared 180 acres. Ii J. I.t t f.'.'ic n ccr. yr fsrss-iriu'e, June 8, "MURDER!
