Fellctv Citizens,
IT hat ever been my opinion that the fuffragei
tain- of freemen, at all elections, ought to be given in
g re- the mod free and utibiafled manner, and, therefore,
>0 to disapprove of peifnnal applications to individuals
for their votes, a pradtice which ought to be dis
countenanced in a republican governmeit, where
eon the inteiefts of the citizens so materially jepend on
the proper exercise of th« right of fuffraje.—But
Inef- it is also my opinio* that the political fentmentsof i
every man who offers hinafelf as a candidate for '
any office ought to be well known and uaderllood. '
