 FELLOW CITIZENS: Nearly twenty years residence and experience among you, give me reason to believe that understand our rights and our common interest. Hence my desire 10 represent you in the Conven- ton of Arkansas. Unambitious as have ever been of political distinction on an occa- sion of less impoftanee, should have left you to choose among those who usually catch the mania for legislation. But on this occasion, am constrained to submit my pretentions and claims to your support and confidence, 10 the consideration of my fellow ctIzens.

 am anxious to see Arkansas governed by Republican Representative Govern nef1t, and 1 i aIii the fast man in this Terri tory who would suffer sectional iealousies, or other causes, to disturb the harmony, or distort the features of the Government. 1 am deslrous to see the Representative branch of the Government proportoned ac- eording to the number of free ,rhafe citi=cns. The Senate Tn every Republic is an impor- sant branch of the legislature, and is always she fifnest reliance and support to the Gov ernment in times of difficulty or danger I should, therefore, like to see the Senate composed of the sages of the Republic, of not less than thirty-iye years of age, own ing, in their own right, d freehold interest in the district they represent; to be in number not less than one.half, nor more than two- thirds of the Representatives, and to be elected for longer period than the Repre- sentative branch; and in all cases, to be prepo aioned according to the number of free sohste citizens In the district they represent. Although we have the benefit of the consti- tutions of the several states 10 guide us in our deliberations in Convention; yet you will find that many principles not adapted to the meridian of Arkansas, will be urged in Convention, and 1t was never more ne- cessary than at present, to array the best ability of our country. The Convention of Arkansas will not be an enviable situation for any man who IS not thoroughly acquaint- ed with the laws and principles of Repub- lie. There are such variety of principles to be settled in tho constitution, as to the Executive his duration of office; extent of patronage, &c.; and, also, in regard to the Judiciary, that 1t is impossible to portray all my views in this circular. l have here given such as entertain in relation to some of the points agilated before the people. And in conclusion may be permitted to say, that if am elected, whatever eapaci- fy or ability 1 may possess, shall be exerted tor the benefit of my country.
