TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PENSIONER SETTLEMENTS. |> BOTHER ELECTORS,—I consider it a duly incumbentupon me lo thank you in the kindest manner for the proud position in which vou have placed me at the recent Election, for although I have been defeated, still the victory which you have obtained is great, for when the overwhelmninginfluences which were brought to bear against me are taken into consideration, I feel highly gratified lo find that there were 107 voters who came manfully forward to support, what they considered right and just. \ou all know that I made no use of unworthy means, to bias your judgments; you also know that there were agents employed, in all the villages, who made no scruple, howeverlow or false, to blacken my character, and prejudice your minds against me; these unmanly means, in some of the villages had the desired effect, but in the village of Howick, where I am known, and have resided the last six years, (and to some I am lav am for the last thirty years,) the case is different. Here I was honorably supported by 92 of my brother Pensioners which gives the lie to base calumny I and when it is taken into account that I had no barrels of gray to roll to my Committee Room, nor bottles of grog to promise after the Election, the wonder is that I stood so high at the end of the Poll. Being a lover of the purity of Election, I should consider myself unworthy of the support of one honest man, could I have stooped to such disreputable means lo gain your support. Brother Pensioners, let me again thank you for the kind manner in which you have always treated me, and you may depend upon it", that 1 shall always be found at my post, and will faithfully, fearlessly, and honestly, do my duly lo the best of my abilities.
