p3tedly prefiVd him to cfTer his fervice ? was it his neighbors I No ther arc too well acquainted with him, they know his' acquirements and fi ability. . 1 would rather folicit mr Bruce to inquire of his neighbors whether they thought him capible of reprefenting them or not I conceive they are not novices, but men of difcernment and c-mdout and it they think that he is not a man offenfe and integrity, it is hoped that he will not impolV himfelf upon thole not acquainted with him 1 am perfuacled not one ol his neighbors ever foliiited him on the fubject, hut on the contrary, are disgusted at the very thot' of his offering himfelf. No doubt they believe he has vanity enough to think he is a very fenfiole ft How notwithfianding his ignorance in this matter. I fuppofe mr. Bruce thinks (or I hope is made to think) the very faying he is oppofed to fl iveryjs fufficient to elect him or any other perfon tint would make ufe of that language, and I fuppofe hy that means has got the words freedom if republic cm always at hand he ought to have confidered that if the exposing, or inferting thefe words in the W. iSun, would infure an election, thr others would be elefted on the fame terms who are able to fupport ti e principle and policy by found reafoning. But this is not theman that is wanted at this time we want a man that is anxious to leprefent the wilhes of a majority of hit' confiituents, and 1m acquired a portion of legifhtivr knowledge not a man that is nnacquair ted with that knowledge which confiitutes a legiflatcr, and is anxious to mount the public flage without confulting his own inabilities, or his neighbors approbation I am forry that I have to repeat it again, that they are dilguftrd at the very idea f mr. Bruce's coming forward, notwithfianding I believe a majority of them are as much oppofed to flavery as himfalf ; hut mr.

I would not be undeiflo. d by mr. Bruce, that I conceive his neighbors entertain a low opinion of him, but on the contrary, a favorable one, as a private citizen their oppvfilion to his election arifis from a conviction that he is inadequate to diftharge the duties of lepifl ition.
