During the whole (f that period I can confidently say that my only aims have been to promote the interests of our district, and in the future you may be well assured my only objects will be those of the public weal. In the absence of any question Involving strong differences of opinion, I may say, should you do me the honor to elect me, that my best energies will be directed towards reducing the daily increasing overdraft at the Bank, and endeavoring to make every year pay its own expenses. I have, as you are aware, ample time at my disposal, which I purpose placing entirely at the service of the Burgesses, and having passed the meridian of life, hope to preside at the deliberations of the Council with that calmness and fairness which are the results of experience and years. I fear that it will be impossible for me to personally see many of you prior to the day of election (to-morrow).
