Gentcmen-Y of the Both ultimo has been receiy-
Ed, informing me my nomination the Electors
oil President and Vice President of the United States You
are no doubt before this appraised my having been
vonsy nominated for similar purpose by meeting held
In Tuscaloosa the 9th of January and of nv pledge TO
the Committee of said meeting o support Andrew Jack
son Tor President and such for Vice President as the
Republican party shall seem prefer" Feeling how
ever deep socitude in the and final triumph of
the democratic cause, and fully believing Gen. Jackson
from his known patriotism and acknowledged zeal for
the public welfare, to be the individual best calculated
to effect this desirable object declare again
my Willingness TO support him for the Presidency.
In relation TO the Vice President YOU demand a pledge
to vote ar elected for Philip p. Barbour or any other
Individual That the Republican party may support provided
he is not an American System man. il duly considered
the discrepancy between this and the pledge heretofore
gwen by me- is very that in these
various concerning the prominc mt cha
acer Tor the Vice Presidency, the friends of the present
Administration determined not to bring forward any
person who is advocate of the American system -
and have but little doubt that, in due time they will Sc
es some one as candidate for that responsible office
VINO VIII prove generally acceptable to the American
Peope-and thereby preclude the possibility of want of
harmony in the republican ranks OF Alabama.
