To the Free and Independent Electors of
Northumberland County.
Fbm.ow Citizens : Encouraged by the
advice of eevcral of my personal friends, i
am induced to oiler myself lo your suffrages
at ihe next election for tho oliiee of Associ
ate Jcdue of Northumberland county. I
canno boast of lining a democrat, nor w ill 1
exult at being a wliiji being of opinion Ihiil
if a man havo no other merit than that of
belonging lo one or the other of Ihoso re
spectable panics, however deniable their
countenance und support might be, such a
man, I say, is not the best candidate for pub
lic support. I am of opinion, with the illus
trious J efferent), that iho time has now nrti
ved, when the only question, that should ho
asked in relation lo a candidate (for a Judi
cial office u: least,) is simply this: "Is hi
honest, is he capable, is hi' jil These ques
tions if is your iimpiesiiunr.ble province lo
decide. Under this persuasion of the quali
ficalinii for the otiice, it only leniHius for mo
lo say, that should I be elected, will en
deavor so to perform the duties of Ihe office,
its never to inquire, or desire to know, the
politics, or religion, ol any suitor in Court.
Olio respectable gentleman aheady named
for the office, has declined for the present ;
lint intimates, that in future, lie may be obli
ged to vou fur your votes. My case is not
similar as I am now in my sixty third year,
there is not in any human probability, any
"Inline" lor me in relerence lo tins matter.
I remain, fellow citizens,
Yours, respect folic,
