COMMUNICATION.
In announcing to the public that Peter
Early, Esq. is a candidate to serve the
people of this Hate in the congress of the
United States, unril the 4.11 of March
next, in lieu of his Excellency John Mil
ledge, we think proper to observe—That
this appointment will not interfere with
that to which Mr. Early has been lately
elefted, bccaafe, under his late appoint,
rtient he is no member of congress until
after the end of the ensuing feflion, which
will expire on the 3d day of March next,
and it is for this felfion that the eleftion is
now about to be held ; Nor do we con
ceive that it can have the fmallcft tenden.
cy to any thing like a grasping at appoint
ments. The public have evinced their
confidence in the talents and integrity of
Mr. Early, by the honorable vote con.
sered on him in the late eleftion for two
years after the next feflion ; if then he is
qualified to serve us after that time, sure
ly he is equally entitled to our confidence
until then, and we humbly conceive,
the sooner thofc talents and abilities, for
which he is so eminently diftinguifned, are
brought into aftion, the more the interest
and dignity of this Hate will be prorefted
and advanced upon the floor of congress.
(c3T The Funeral Oration which was
to have been delivered this day, is, by
req rest postponed ; and will be delivered
in the principal Hall in the Academy,
TO-MORROW' at 120’ciock.
