FELLOW CITIZENS,
IN the course of the events which have
marked the conduct aud characters of those,
to whom you have, at different periods, in
trusted by your suffrages, the power of ma
king laws for your government, few mea-
sures have occurred, since the adoption Of
the present constitution, more extraordi-
nary, than the meeting lately held for the
purpose Of nominating a President and Vice
President of the United States.
Our alarm is equally excited, whether
we advert TO the mode IN which the meet
ing was summoned, or to the proceedings
after it was convened. The Senator who
assumed the power of calling together the
members of Congress, did it under the pre-
text OF that power being vested in him, by
n former convention this pretext, whether
it be true or not, implies an assertion of
right in the Congress OF 1904, to direct
their successors in the mode Of choosing
the chief magistrate an assertion which
no man has ever before had the bardihood
70 advance. The notices we're private I;
not general TO all the members of the two
houses nor confined 70 the republican par

SIR Lave il IN charge from the house
of representatives of this state, to trans
init to you a copy of their resolution, con-
Cured in also by the senate, expressive of
their high Sense of the va ue of your serv-

nations gratitude is the proudest reward
which the merits of citizen can receive,
this spontaneous, uncourted tribute of APP
probation to your past services, and of
confidence in the future exsrtions of your
patriotism and talents, cannot fail to be
dear. Whilst to your honesst ambition it
must afford the noblest qualification, it will
prove the source, am persuaded, of new
energy to your endeavors to advance the
welfare and happiness of our country =

be added. Permit me merely to assure
You, that my sentiments, as an individual,

present discharge of the duty, assigned 20

But farther. One of the reasons, assign.
ed by MIR. Jefferson for declining to stand

tation IN that Office. The great advantage
OF thIs principle of rotation is, that by app

the acts OF the administration may be inn
partially reviewed; those measures which
tend TO promote the public good will be a.

cause We consider them-
AS being in direct hostility to the princi,
