They desire your elevation to that office not only as a just acknowledgement of your past services, but also and chiefly , because from you in that high station, tiicy hope (what they bone from no other) the resto ration of our country to that glorious and happy state, from which by misgovernment and corruption, by treachery and selfish ness, by knavery acting upon ambitious im becility, by a. wanton disregard of every obligation personal and social,' we have beeq unhappily displaced and degraded.
