For the Camden Journal.
TO MY FRIENDS:
Supposing; you have ail seen my commun:calioa
in the Journal be.'ore last, I now address
myself to you particularly, with a ."ew ideas and
suggestions on the coining election for Town
Cour ;il.
As this is a matter in which you, as well as
myself, have always taken a lively interest; since
the last election I have closely observed evejy
act and movement of the present Council, aspiti
uously gathering up materials to use agains'
thom hereafter: and I think you will agree with
me, that I have touched them pretty close!;", in
my article, without being either personal or virdictive.
I am not aware who they accuse of the authorship,
but certain I am, that no suspicion rest:
uoon me, nor do I think they will now, puspec.
me.
F.n iing myself thus fortified from assault, you
(and I speak so every one can hear me,) may
look out for a co nstant discharge of well-aimed
siio. at those honored, but bare-faced delinquents.
The effect i? already quite perceptible?in proc
of which, lot me refer you fo'the gibs in last
Wednesday's paper, signed "A Citizen," sneering
at t he clice of Warden, -fee. Who thi
wouM-bc pithy ar icie was intended to designate.
1 en: ot say, nor do I know the author?hut i
have my *?p 1:0:1, ami am not surprised at it?fo
it was easy 'o see that tiie Ward ens, or, at an;
rare, three of thorn, have worn Ion; faces forl'.e
last. fortnight. T.iey feel that tiie spirit of R fwin
is abroad, and that they muat either par
with their honor.- , or give more of their time to
tiie public.
This brings rr.e to the heaviest charge against
the present incninbent?, fori have not any dot bt
of their capacity, if they had the energy and disposition.
They have always attended much more
to the r own business than to the interest an;
well-being of their fellow-citizens. Have they
then, I ask the question emphatically, wi h ihh
grave charge staring them in the face, .ana before
the world, any claim to re-election! Y01
will join with me in saying they have not?especially
when men can bo had, who have made i
their study, with singular devotion, to rco thai
tiie afTiirs of the town were fully and fairly administered.
If we cannot make a total change, can we no',
by a faithful co-operation, turn out at least three
o them? You know v.*e tried it 1 n one of thern
last year, but that was so j oiited, v.e aiicd?
A clean sweep t;:i; spring would bo uracil preferred,
r.nd in the r places, let lis put men who
are ardent and vigorous in performing all the)
c m find to do.
When you read this, I hope it will 'end tc |
consultation and a count of our forces?for if I
cannot be elected, I would rather not bo a candidate?knowing
a: I do, the uneasy ."sanation that
always follows defeat.
if, after ail our trouble, we can only succeed
in ge'ting in one of o;;r friend?, (and in all humility,
I thin!; myself the most suitable rrnn,) it
v .il oo a great victory.? or serious!}*, I do be1'evo
that J r,m bet'er qualified, from my part
iifc, to serve in a representative capacity, thai
any other man in our circle, or even in our community,
and I will openly and honestly give you
my reasons for thinking so?the maturcr years
of iny life, nearly up to the present time, hav<
been spent in the service of others, giving, t
advance their good, the whole of my time, talent?
and attentio ; and I take the present nccrsion,
vihliclv. to invite the innuirv. if I have not .given
the utmost satisfaction, in every ease, to each
an.1 aii concerned.
On you, my dear friends, i generously throw
myself, depending upon your united efibrts in my
favor, an.-l in favor of reform generally, and I
fee! sanguine, that, should success attend us, my
industry and zeal will coon !>c sensibly fe!-, ii
fir.nly establishing and promoting the welfare of
our own CA.MBEN.

Or is it tint an order having pass:?' to re; air it before
the election, you will luve t'ne nppo unity to coine
out with flourish of I umpets, in praise of 1:.nir un
ceasing duties fur the public weal? Of all others,
in our viciuitv, this is the most frequented p! m o

enqiiivs, and loves to saunter there tind hold con.

and the interior cleansed of the rubbish at
public expense.
Ouu wo expect any thing good In como out o(
the present Council? IIivc m?l three of" llicni been
tried for as ininy years? and does not each year
retrograde in appearance, rather than advance??
However high therefore, as citizens, they stand in
our estimation, the interest of the town loudly calls
for a change.
cur iim constrained to notic3 an apparent neglect in
I Council, that should be explained. To thoss
I*4- 0
I who weic picscnt at the last fire, it will be recolloeb
ted, that but one Warden was on tho ground, and ,
that the most efficient Town Engine present was
nanagi (1 by blacks, although two gentlemen are ap.
! pointed to the command, and in consideration of said
duty, arc exempt from road work. What would have
been the consequence if this state of things had oc. _
curred at r.iglit, would not all have been dismay and
c infusion? "5*.
Mr. Ed tor, we liavo a certain clique among us
that think the olcction of Council entirely bolongs to
them, and if a voter is so presumptuous as to 9ay
night against their nomination, lie is donounc-d as
an enemy to the town. TAX PAYER.
For tfte Camden Journal.
Mr. Editor: Your correspondent (Cilittsn,) in last
week's Journal, attempts to be very witty at my expense?but
it is no go. He has made statements so
palpably erroneous, that any one, with half an eye,
cm seo his object. He evidently bolongs to the inpoxoer
party, who are notorious for ntt( mptmg, by ,
inch means, to kvcp out of the way tho real qocetion, ,
to draw off voters from existing evils, an \ impress
them with the belief that "'twill not benefit them to <
uakoa change"?for although they should find ue i
0 "very patriotic, ?r,d very anxious to d.stinguish ;
themselves an to co nn forward ns candid itts" for
their oulFrages, it would '.e "just us likely to lend
1 o evil as good." Did tint tiro members of the pr. sent
