"To the Freeholders of the District composed of the Counties of Berkeley, 
Hampshire, Hardy and Jefferson.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
I offer myself to your consideration as a candidate to represent you in the 
next Congress of the United States.  It is possible the curious may be disposed 
to inquire, why I have become a candidate without the sanction of a committee.  
To this interrogatory, I answer, that the recent method of nominating 
candidates by committee, however highly I may incline to appreciate the 
practice, is, neverthelesss, as it seems to me, no way preferable as it seems 
to me, no way preferable to the ancient customs, which every one understands.  
Again, I have been induced to declare myself at this time, and in this way, by 
request of my friends, who think with me, it is the wish of a majority of 
Freeholders of the District."   
(article is lengthy, skipping part of it.)
"I am gentleman, your humble servant,
MAGNUS TATE.
Berkeley County, Jan. 19, 1815."
