I can only reply, that I, as an individual, am utterly ignorant, and, in that igno- rance, am an utter disbeliever of such practices as the gentleman has imputed to his fellow-towns- men. I, at least, am no corrupter of the freemen, ♦ Mr. John Haivev. 245 and I desire not any voice that is not bestowed freely in my support. If it is meant to state, as a charge against me, what is perfectly true, that I have been in the habit, ever since my first connexion with you as your representative, of rec...eivings from men of all parties in your town, applications, — some upon subjects of mere business, — some for what is un- derstood by the term interest, in the fair and allowable sense, — and some of a mixed charac- ter, in which interest and business are inevitably blended ; and that I have not been backward in rendering my assistance to those who have so applied to me; — I plead guilty to that charge, and I am only at a loss to discover what there is of criminality in it. But have I, on such occa- sions, ever prefaced the exertion of my humble talents or influence, in behalf of any one who now hears me, by demanding to know what vote had been given by him at the last election, or what were the local or the public politics of the person who happened to apply to me ?
