Mr. PRINTER,
I was a little surprised when I saw your last, at a well known correspondent's proposing the candidates he did for representing this State in Congress, when he must know not only this town, but almost every town in the State will vote for the Hon. Samuel Livermore, John Samuel Sherburne and Nathaniel Peabody, Esquires,—gentlemen whose abilities as public speakers are too well known to need any comment,—Freemen and fellow voters take care and make choice of those men who can, and will stand up and defend your rights and privileges.
A VOTER.
