Cornaly, John H utchesou, Frangois Rousselot, Thomas Gay. To Lieut.-Col. Campbell and the Electors signing ■ the Requisition. Gentlemen, — I received with pride and gratification the requisition to allow myself to be nominated as a Candidate for a seat in the General Assembly, which you have done me the honor of addressing to me, and beg to apologise for my delay in answering it. I will not attempt to conceal from you that this delay proceeded from a desire that some other gentleman would come forward, better calculated from talent and colonial experience than myself, to advocate your interests. My own affairs at present occupy so much of my time that I cannot absent myself from this .district without a considerable personal sacrifice, but I appreciate too highly the honor of your requisition and the importance iof the objects you seek to attain, altogether to decline it. I therefore gratefully accept your appeal to come forward upon these conditions, viz., that I may be hereafter permitted to withdraw, provided that another eligible candidate, willing to undertake the great responsibility, and inclined from sympathy with your wishes to be of service to you, be induced to oner himself. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ' C. E. Roeijssox. ■ January 14, 1853.
