SIR,
1 have observed in your paper that the friends
OF Col. Monroe, who met the Capitol for the
purpose of promoting his election to the Presi-
Dental chair, have done me the honor of placing
my name on the electoral ticket. While feel
battered by this mark of their confidence, and on
most occasions proud to act with those associated
with nc, am compelled to decline the service
Ever since the operation of the Federal Govern.
ment, the President or Vice President has been
chosen from the sons OF our state. II is now due
to our sister states to- nave these high officers if
they can agree among themselves but Virginia
IS AGAIN to have the distinction, and have any
hand IN the choice, must give tile preference TO
Mr.. Madison.
Unacquainted as I am with Col Menroe. no
man more highly estimates the various important
services he has rcnderedto his country or es.eems
that integrity and manly firmness which alyyavs
has characterised his conduct than myself. Both
these distinguished men agree in political princi-
pies, and should have been well pleased if Ell
ther had been run singiy for the presidency, il
would no doubt have been filed with correctness
and dignity.
At the present important crisis Of our public
affairs, division among the republicans ought to
be most earnestly avoided. While we are press
ed by external hostility we ought 20 be united at
rome. 1t WIS with real concern that discover
ed competition likely to take place between two
men who dtserycdly stood SO high in tile opinion
of their country. 1t is hoped their friends will
yet coalesce, for if the collisions continued. il
will certainly grow into irritation and probably
end in conpleat separation. IL, however the
Trends OF MIR. Monroe are disposed to continue
hun, they will be pleased to place some ore in nv
stead, for my honest and best Judgment is in "a
yer OF his competitor but l can take no other
part IN the contest, than simply to give my s,if
frsge, 50 that while am taken from Mr.. Mon.
roe's ticket expect to b. moved from Mr.. Madi.
