Mr. Snowden,
Since the present Directors of the Bank have been in office, the institution has flourished in so great a degree, as to enhance the property of the Stockholders fifty per cent. The regular traders have been accommodated with all the discount they could desire, the men of enterprize have been kept within bounds, and the Town has arisen to consequence from the most reduced state. I beg leave therefore through the medium of your paper to propose the old Directors, from a confidence that the institution cannot be amended by a change.
PROXY.
