MR. LINTON'S REQUISITION.
TO TBS 3H>1IO». Sib, — I saw a letter m Wednesday's issu* signed "An Elector." As I bad the- honor of going round with th» lequtsttioß. I feel bound to answer the said letter. I har* been refused by three gentlemen to sign it,, on-the grounds that ojio of them never sign* a requisition for anyone-, bnt still he said he would be id favor of Mr Lmton-. Another objection was that Mr Linton was » Borough resident, not a country man ; and! the other would not vote far either. I donot knaw of one exception that the question was not put to me of who was coming; forward, and I have toW them. Moreover^ s.om# of thwn told me of hoiing- seen it m thq» paper, as the paper was published beforetivs requisition went round, which" I knoir ii ifr- Elector needn't, make believe*. of.'ivj to, thn* the- elector* w*r«- signing im the dark. One latij did sign for her husband, vrho. was a\ray from, hoiae, knowing^ he- was m itivxt of Mr Lintoo. Ai> the* rest of thdm t]»at sfgnod did it wilb ft. thorcugJi undawtaading.— l am, &c.,
