1187. Nathaniel White to his brother Cornelius. He refutes the rumour that he is deeply in debt. "My prospects are daily brightening. I am advancing rapidly in professional consequence & a fig for all the buzzing of the envious say I. As to the Election I am quite easy on that score. Uniacke & I travelled together on the circuit. In him I have a warm friend & he will exert his interest...As to the Collectorship, the pledges to the Col. [Van Buskirk] had gone too far to be withdrawn; but keep a good heart - something will turn up." Family matters.

1188. Nathaniel White to his brother Cornelius relative to his contested election. ''I have just stolen a minute from the important debate now going on, upon the agency subject to quiet your anxiety. Barry's petitions have been put in & your reputation is left as pure as snow. He dared not after his public avowal of your impartiality say aught to the contrary. The question has gone to a committee & an excellent one it is. There were four lawyers drawn, all of whom he struck off. I have no fear of the result right or wrong. The feeling of the House is decidedly in my favour & much interest is making for me in all quarters. Barry has started for his witnesses, but will be disappointed in his attempt to introduce them. It will probably be a month before 'tis decided. Archibald's is now going on. His fate I think doubtful. I feel very sanguine.'' Holograph.

1190. Nathaniel White to his brother Cornelius. ''I think it doubtful if my Election will be decided this Session. Archibald's is still going on. It places me in the awkward situation as I am obliged to be silent on a question of much moment which has excited great sensation here i.e. the Customs question - I am obliged to play a cautious game which cramps me most confoundedly. However prudence must be my motto.'' Postscript states that ''The customs question occupied 5 successive days...'' Holograph.

1191. Nathaniel White to his brother Cornelius. The sage Committee who have been sitting in Judgt. Upon me have just returned their report & decided John C. Barry to be entitled to his seat. So that ''Othello's occupation's gone''! Tomorrow morning I shall take a formal leave of this august body whether in a huff or with the profoundest respect I have not yet determined. This will depend a good deal upon my feelings at the time. I have not time to give you all the particulars. Suffice it to say the battle has been well fought & I must submit. It will only require a little philosophy to support me & that I think I can muster. There is the devil to pay between the Council & House - The former have taken offence at a speech of Haliburton's in which he pictured them as a know of old women. All communn. is at an end & whole business at a stand - They require the House to punish him, which is refused. A dissolution will inevitably be the consequence - The Election turned altogether upon the qualificn. of the voters...'' Holograph.
