To the Republican Citizens Of Ae7o-
HAMPSHIRE.
Considering the circumstances under
which the nomination Of your Candidates
for Electors of President and Vicc-Pre-
sident of the United States was made,
| am led to believe it to have been the
expectation of those who were lnstru.
mental in selecting those candidates, that
that if chosen they would give their
votes agreeably to the recommendation
of the Republican, Congressional eau
chs, and finding my name in the list
handed to the public, have thought pro-
per to address you on the subject.
At all times, have esteemed it an
honor TO enjoy your confidence, and pc
cullar,y SO at a crisis 50 important as the
present, it shall be my earnest solicisade
to retain that confidence, SO long as II
can be secured by an underwriting ad-
hercncc to those republican principles
which it ever has been, and still will be
my ardent desire TO support as the only
means under Heaven, by which the
disting uished bic ssings OF our happy 60
vernment (now probably the only free
government on ea,th) ma, be secured
10 ourselves and to our pusteri1y.
The Office Of an EIcctor OF the first
magistrates Of our nation is at all times
an Office of high possibility, and per-
haps III no event could be more SO than
at the present crisis--and l owe 1t to
you, my fellow-citlzens, because you
have conhded III me, and 10 myself, be-
cause both candor and conscience inn
pose it, thus publicly to make known,
that if | am honored with your suflrageS
on this occasion, shall not consider
myself as pledged to act in any other
manner than my own private OPINION,
undcrthe then existing state of our coun-
trp may dictate, and in the choice be,
tween Candidates, al OF Republican
principles, to aid in the election OF those
who in NY opinion are best qualified to
render our nation formidable In War and

it was entirely extinguished, and the cl-

consumed, and although frame shed

part, and the buildings were unmolested

into which no candle had been taken

fell in at the window. We most SELL
