The New Hampshire Gazette

Mr. Beck—Sir: I saw in your last Gazette a list of candidates for Representatives to represent this town in the next General Court. My name being one of that number, I take this opportunity to decline standing as a candidate.

Sir, I also saw a communication in the last Commercial Advertiser, signed "W." I would recommend to that writer to state facts and not falsehoods. He says, that "this obnoxious list of candidates," published in the last Gazette, was "made or hatched or coined" by Mr. G.—

Now sir, I state this insinuation to be an absolute falsehood. Mr. G. had no hand in making up that list, either directly or indirectly. He never saw it till it came to the printer. I should like to inquire if Mr. "W." believes in rewards and punishments. If so, I think his port of destination is pretty certain. If Mr. "W." wants to go to the General Court, let him learn to speak the truth. But if he continues to make false statements, no person will believe him—no party will own him.

Mr. "W." in a former communication says, he knew Mr. G. before he was imported. This I doubt very much. But sir, I have known Mr. G. from a boy. I always found him an honest, upright man; a firm, undeviating republican, of good talents. Mr. "W." says, Mr. G. has faults. Before Mr. "W." says any more about Mr. G's faults, let him put his hand to his mouth and his lips in the dust, and cry unclean. If Mr. "W." wants to hear any more of his false statements, let him call on

ISAAC NELSON.
