WHY I AM 
Volunteering to run for Congress...

I have no other object in view 
but to be serviceable
to my fellow citizens, 
and I am too firmly fixed
in my determination 
to pursue this course,
which I consider 
was pointed out as my duty,
by the experience and many hard trials 
I had suffered,
to be deterred by foolish remarks 
of the envious
or malicious opponents 
of either label.
