should be chosen to that high place at the next
election. am satisfied that, if our friends will
do their duty, such citizen may be elected

not the vanity to consider myself qualified for so
high and responsible station ; and, whilst we have
far more eminent and deserving names before the

it is my ardent and sincere wish to see the ndvi-
dual placed at the head of the nation, who, by a
strict observance of the Constitution, (be he who
he may,) can make most prosperous at home,
as well as most respected abroad"
