New Hampshire Statesman

To the Editor of the N. H. Statesman.

SIR,--While the Aborigines had possession of this country, that region which lies to the south and east of the White Mountains, was inhabited by the Pequawkets. They were not entirely destroyed by Lovewell in his expedition against them in 1725. Their descendants have not been very noisy about the election of Sachems, and would not have opened their mouths, at this time, had the grand council in June designated any person to fill that office. As ill health has no doubt rendered our Friend Levi incapable of discharging the arduous duties of chief magistrate, they are willing that he should retire to the undisturbed enjoyment of his "otium cum dignitate" and that some person, less subject to indisposition, should occupy the Gubernatorial Chair. "Quare cum ta sint" since the things are thus, the Pequawkets wish to have the pleasure of voting for the Hon. David L. Morrill, whose talents and services point him out as the citizen most deserving the first honors of the State. There are other distinguished individuals in the Republican Family; and although they have prepared for Mr. Morrill, they will cheerfully acquiesce in the election of any other person, who shall appear to be more acceptable to a majority of the good people of New-Hampshire.

PEQUAWKETT.
