GERMANICUS,
From the American Daily Advertiser.
Messrs. Dunlap & Claypoole,
HAVING seen, a few days ago, in your paper a statement of the polls in the late election of a Senator for the state of Delaware, it may be proper, to prevent a misapprehension upon the subject, to acquaint the public, that Mr. Dickinson, whose name has been mentioned was neither a candidate for the appointment, nor in any measure considered as a competitor with Mr. Latimer. That gentleman having long since declined all public appointment, it is but justice to his character and principles to state, that few men would have been more acceptable to the public, or legislature, had it been conceived that he could have been prevailed upon to have suffered his name to be mentioned. In every federal view, the names presented to the public are equally respectable and worthy of regard.
