MARSHALL. milE GRAFTPN \VARD ELECTION. I beg to tender my best thanks to the gentlc -111011 who acted as my Coiiimittco, and tb the G8 Electors who recorded their votes in my favour at the late election, and beg to remark that had all voted for me that promised my coiiimittee to db so, and had I acted in tho same manner as my opponents did, I might have headod the poll instead of boing lowest on the Hut. But seeing that I really did not solicit one single elector to vote for me, but loft my self entirely In the hands of my Committeo antl tho Ratepayers themselves, my numbers, I think, will contrast favourably with thoso of my opponents, who, I believe, left up stone un-. turned to go in and win. ' I trust, however; that, iho gentleman w. o,^ boon elected will be both ablO and Willing, aim attbrdsu—cioattimpfp. give'satisfaction to flip ratepayers generally, in the performance of his rnTOipfpftl^H^ft-".- ..
