Dear Sir,-I have received the communication Of
the Delegates from the counties composing this Sen
atoFial District, assembled for the purpose of recon-
mcndmg four persons TO represent it in the ConYen-
top which is TO propose amendments t. the Consti
tuition OF the State, acquaiung that have been
included in the number selected, and expressing O.
wish to be informed whether the Delegation has my
assent to their making known 10 the people of the
District that, ifelected, will obey the call to the
service assigned me.
Although aware ofthc considerations which, at my
age, with the inirntes incident 10 it, might dissuadc
me from assuming such a trust retain too deep
sense of what owe for past and repeated marks Of
confidence and favor, TO my native State, and part-
colarly to this portion of Il, not to join my efforts,
however feeble in the important work to be perfbru-
ed, should such he the will Of the District.
In that event, shall carry into the Convention
every disposition not to lose sight of the interests and
feelings ofthe District, whilst availiy myself of the
lights afforded by the free and calm discussions be-
coming to such body, and yielding that spirit of
compromise, TO which the foresight Of the Delegation
has so appropriately alluded.
offer to the Delegation the expression my SIN
cere and great respect
