to a previous Presidential election. With

"European mission, and the other the most
important of : our missions Von the conti
nentYY lb both cases,' the sole ground of
recall si;thaV they, were opposed to his e
lectioii as President; Andas if there
should.be no possible controversy on this
head, one of , them was recalled before it

5 The pecuniary effect of these - changes
is thbv certain expenditure, in outfits of
818000 and perhaps, more than! triple
thatjsumin contingencies. Now, it does
sern to me ; (and I put it to your candid
judgments whether) this is too large a
sum for the public to pay, because two
gentlemen i had ; made a mistake of the
name" whichthey should have written-on
a It tile bit, of paper thrown into the bal
lot boxes. Mistake ! . .They had in fact
made no practical, mistake They . had
not. voted at all, one being out of the U.
States, and the other but of his own State,
at the time of election.; .The money is
therefore to, be paid because they made a
mistake" in the abstract opinions which

one name instead of'anothcr on their bal

this ? waste of public treasure, if it were
compensated by the su periority of uali -'fi

No occasion, can be more jippropriaie
tn a 11 the p reseh t, wh e n su r rou ftd ed by my
former constituents, to say a few words
upon the unimportant subject of myself.
Prior to my j retu rn home, I had stated i n
a iswer to all enquiries wheth ar I should
b i agai n presen ted as a candidate to re
peseht my old district in the House of
ReDresentatives, that I should come to no
absolute1 decision until I had taketi time
for, reflection and to ascertain
be the feelings and wishes of
kvhat miklit
those who
had so often honored me with their suftra-.
fi 'SwThe-presen t Representa ivc ot tho'
strict has conducted himsc If towards
me with the greatest liberality : and I take
pleasure now in making my public ac
k lowledsments so justly due to him. He.
hid promptly declined beins: a candidate,
I would offer, and he warmly urged me
to offer. ; . A- . ; - -
Since my return home, I have mixed
freely as 1 could with my friends and feU
low-citizens of the district- They, have
met me with the greatest cordiality. Ma
ny of them have expressed a; wish that . I
wpuld again represent them- Some .of
the most prominent and respectable of
those .who voted for the presen
ffiktrate have also expressed
t chief ma
la similar
wish. , I have every reason to believe that
xnejre wouiu ue no opposition io me no m
any quarter or any party, if I were to of
fer.; But if I am not greatly deceived in
the prevailing feeling throughout the dis
trict, it is one more delicate aijd respect
ful towards me, , and I appreciate it much
mgiier, uian 11 k nan Deen lnaniiesieu in
loud calls upon me to return p my . bid
post. '; It referred the question to my own
soper judgmenti Jy former jpopstituents'
vve re ge n erally reac ly to a c qu i esce fii any
de,cision . I might think, itrope to make. ,
If 1 were to offer for Congress they were,
