A TRAVELLER.
W e are happy to learn (says the
Editor of the Edenton Gazette) that;
the immoral and demoralizing prac
tice of treating, and visiting musters
and other public places previous to
the election, is getting very fast into
disuse in this State. The candidates
in Perquimons and Chowan, we are
credibly informed, have come to tt\e
determination of obtaining the free
suffrages of tbe people, uninfluenced
by treats, &c. or stay at home, bis
is as it should be.? How contemptible
and degrading it is to see gentlemen
assembling at such places, treating,
dawning and coqrting, nay soliciting
the .suffrages of a body of men to
)\onor them w}tta a seat in the Legis
lative Coui>cils of tjie State ? Graci
ous God I if this is independence,
|save us, we beseech thee, from par
ticipating iq fhe blessings it imparts.
