3 Apr 1780:11 (1871)
To the electors within the state of New-York. Fellow
Citizens, The day of our annual general election is at hand,
when we are to exercise our noblest rights, and perform our
most important duties as members of civil society. . . [13
more lines] In the first place, let me entreat you to elect
none but Whigs--Whiggism must be the prime characteristic of
your representatives; for altho' a man may possess the
eloquence and wisdom of an angel, yet if he lack Whiggism,
like a Christian without charity, he is mere sounding brass.
. . [65 more lines, signed] An Elector. Albany, March 20,
1780.
