.HGdison and .tfsrroe. - Il wall be seen by the
following correspondence, which we extract
from the Richmond Wing, that these gentle.
men have declined engaging, in any manner,
IN the present political contest, on account OF
their advanced age AID their desire 20 spend
their remaining days in retirement Their de.
cision 10 not so much q matter of surprise,
considering the resolutions they had both for.
med, on retiring from public lite, not TO parti.
clpate IN any measures of party character.
The opposition viii no doubt affect to interpre,
their refusal into an expression of their senti-
mems IN behalf OF Jackson We happily, how.
ever, are uot left in the dark on this subject.
Their opinions are well known to be decided
ly n favour OF the present Admins trationi and
1T still has all the advantage that the influence
OF their names could give, although they may
not feel themselves called upon 20 take jour.
ney To Richmond tor the purpose of recording
their votes officially Eaeie.
Copy of the Letter addressed by Judge Brooke,
to Mr. Madison, to Col Monroe, and to

Electors by the Convention lately held in
Richmond.
Richmond, Feb. s. 1873.
NV DEAR SIR: | avail myself Of the
earliest moment, since the Proceedings
and Address to the People of Virginia
were printed, under the direction of the
Central Committee, to comply with the
resolution of the Convention, request
ing me to transmit copy thereof to
each ofthe gentlemen nominated on It's
Electoral Ticket, and to inform them
OF their several appointments; and in
pursuance thereof, now have the hon.
our to transmit you a copy of the Pro-
ceedings and Address. and to inform
you of your appointment
With very great respect, &s.

my feelings TO take the par, of eitters-
gainst the other.
Other considerations drew my atten.
ton, at an early period, to this subject,
and confirmed me in this decision. As
permanent rule. ! was led to conclude
that II would be better for our country,
and contribute more to the success of
our excellent system OF government,
that those who have held the Office of
chief magistrate, should abstain in their
retirement, from becoming par.isans in
subsequent elections to that office. In
stances may occur, in the course Of time,
and in the vicissitude of human affairs,
in which the opinion % those who have
had long experience, may be useful.
Every government that has existed, has
been exposed to trying emergencies.
All those which were strictly republican
have been subverted. Ours will, trust,
experience a different fate. Should an
emergency of any kind ever occur, 1t
may be important that there should be,
among the people, some men uncon,
nected with either Of the contending
parties, and among them. those who
have retired from that high office, whose
voice might be heard. To render ser.
vice, they must enjoy, in like degree,
the confidence the whole community
in their disintert sickness and impartial
ity. II they embark as partisans on
either side, they would have no weight.
with the other BY remaining neutral,
it might be otherwise.
On full consideration, before nv re-
trement, ] concluded that the course
suggested, would be best adapted to
my own peace and tranquility, and con-
tribute most, as a permanent rule, to
the welfare of my country. Under
this conviction, ! then formed the deci-
sion stated. have Frequently declared il
since, and cannot depart from It.
With great respect,
lam your obi serv't.

with very brief interval, through pc !.
Rod of more than forty years. and at
the age then attained, Iconslder my self
as violating no duty. in allotting for
what of my life might remain. a retire.
menttrom scenes of political agitation
and excitement Adhering to this view
of my situation, have forborne, during
the existing contest, as had done du
ring the preceding, to participate in any
measures of party character; and the
restraint imposed on myself, is nsces-
sarily strengthened bv an admonshing

which they were held by me-
In offering this explanation hope I

DEAR SIR: have, by this DAVIS mail,
received your letter, announcing my
nomination, by the Convention lately
assembled in Richmond as an Eiector,
at the ensuing election, in favour Of the
distinguished citizen whom they desig
nate, as President of the u. States For
reasons, which hope will be satisfac-
tory to you, to the members of that bo-
dy, and to my fellow citizens generally,
and which will frankly communicate,
consider it a duty to decline the trust
in question.
After the long and laborious service
In witch have been engaged, and in
tie most difficult conjunctures to which
our country has been exposed, il is my
earnest desire TO cherish tranquility in
my retirement Important as this OBJ
ject IS to me, am satisfied, i'll become
party to elections, to the high Office of
Chief Magistrate of the United States,
that icannot accomplish it, In the pen
ding election. have motives Of per-
sonal nature, which would make il par
ticularlY painful to me to interpose.
Having held. in the Office from which
lately retired, very friendly relation
with both the candidates, and given to
each strong proofs of confidence and
regard, It would be very repugnant to

There Is a prevalent misunderstand-
ing in regard to the introduction of the
resolutions which gave rise to the late
farce in the Senate Of Kentucky. Mr..
Beatty an administration man, offered
the first resolutions Their object was
an expression of confidence in the pre-
sent Administration and in the MEM
bers from Kentucky who voted with
MrClay at the last Presidential election.
The Jackson party wishingto defeat
ii possible the passage of such resolu-
ton, offered, through Mr.. Allen
Jacksonian, an amendment, that the
committee be authorized 10 send for
persons and papers, in order to en-
qure into the pretended bargain and
sale. In this way the affair commen-
ced. The Jacksonians, and not the
friends of the Administration. began
the investigation. But il is said, and
no doubt honestly believed by many that
the contrary was the fact. The pre-
else object of this Misrepresentation we
have not been able to perceive We
notice il merely for the sake of setting
the matter right
The resolutions introduced by Mr..
Beatty, we have been informed, were
passed Cintinnat Gazette
From the Raleigh { ~. C.. J Register.
Newspapers IN different parts of the
Union, and some within our own
State, continue to speak of certain
Resolutions as having been passed by
our Legislature, at its last session.
demonstrating against any further pro.
lection being given 10 the Wooden
Manufactures OF the United States.
Now, the fact is as we have more
than once before stated, that no such
resolutions were entered into by our
Leg stature Ii is true that, in pursu.
ance of a suggestion of the Governor.
of his annual Message, the subject,
was referred to committee, and thai
committee reported certain resolutions
in the nature slated; bu, they did no.
receive the sanction of the Legislature
though, by mistake, copies were sent
on to our Representatives in Congress,
as it passed But the following day,
discovering his mistake, the Governor
wrote on to Washington, to correct
The error; but the resolutions had, 10
the mean time. been presented We
knew not weiher the matter was ex-
planned to Congress. Ifnot, it is not
strange that People at distance should
still believe that the resolutions were
regularly passed; but it is inexcusable
when Editors ofour own State continue
to give currency to the delusion.
A numerous meeting of the growers
and manufacture of wool, was held
at Boston last Saturday evening. at
which they passed resolution disap

to Congress ia toto; and that If il shonld
