Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Friday, September 23 1825 DIED. In Bennington, on the 17th inst., Mr. John CARTER, a soldier of the Revolution. In Stafford, on the 20th inst., Susan, infant daughter of Isaiah GOLDING Esq. & Miss Charlotte HOOKER, daughter of Maj. HOOKER. * To the Electors of the county of Genesee, Fellow Citizens, The genius of our free and well balanced government has long since taught me this salutary maxim.--that the Agricultural, the Mechanical, & the Commercial interests of our country should be represented in the halls of our Legislature. Should the electors of this county deem my capacity sufficient, to serve them in either of the above interests, in the next assembly, my best exertions are proffered to their service; and fidelity shall be an unerring guide to their very humble servant, John DAVIDS. Batavia. * To the Electors of the 8th Senate District. Fellow Citizens, I take the liberty of placing my name before you, at this early day, as a candidate for your suffrages at the next election, in the senate of this state. Being one of the oldest inhabitants of this county, and personally known to many of you, and having been repeatedly honored, by the Electors of the county of Genesee, with a seat in the Assembly of this state, I deem any remark concerning my political conduct, on all occasions, as a republican, unnecessary. I take this occasion of returning to my fellow citizens of the county of Genesee, my warmest acknowledgements for the confidence heretofore reposed in me, by them, as their representative, and submit my claims, merits, and qualifications, to the Electors of the Eighth Senate District, as a candidate for the senate without further remark. Should they honor me with a seat in that body, I shall endeavor, as heretofore, to perform my duty, and to consult the wishes of the people. James GANSON. Le-Roy. * POSTSCRIPT. By this day's mail, we have received the following article of intelligence from the N.Y. Courier of the 18th inst. : - An Alexandria paper announces the arrival of the Constellation, Capt. WARRINGTON from the West-India station, and that she brought intelligence of the French having taken possession of Cuba and Porto Rico[sic]; and that the places had been ceded to France by the King of Spain. It adds also that on account of this news the Cabinet Council was immediately called together at Washington. We will merely observe that this news is not credited in this city. *
