10 the people themselves, to be settled

1t is expected, and earnestly desired,

We publish the RetrcHchment Bill

are willing that the issue between the

and principle of this bill. Many OF our

sed doubts, whether it is the purpose Of
either party in The Legislature, to dc
any thing towards carrying into effect

DGC2iEaatfOM!

To The Editor of tie Ohio State Journal;
SIR, | have. this evening, Unexpect
edy received the intelligence Of my
nomination by The Whig Convention ol
Ohio, TO the Office Of Governor.
Without consultation with any person
but acting solely on my own responsi
biity, and on my own knowledge of the
necessities growing out Of my private
and professional business, and tho impe.
rious duties which these impose, en-
compelled thus publicly and al once, to
decline the honor OF the nomination, ana
say that cannot consent 10 be a candI-
date for the office.
This annunciation is made with ex-
lreme pain; but II is the result of ex.
treme necessity.
Reasons connected with the consider
atoms to which ! have above referred,
leave me no alternative; aud as they
are all Of personal nature and belong
exclusive y to my private and probes.
slonaI concerns, the public can IeeI no
interest in their detail; aud on this
oint will only add that Tor me TO &C.
cept tho nominalian would be attended
with such sacrifices 0I business Ond Of
duties as no man can, in my opinion,
reasonably b0 asked TO make.
In order 10 guard agains, misconstruc
ton, permit me to say that in the adop.
ton Of this course, | have made no cal
cuIatious or estimates of the chances of
success and deIea:. An "assuranoe
doubly sure" OF success would, il possi
BILE, render more imperative the neces
sily Of my decInatlon, because cannot
at this time IN Gay erent withdraw my
time and attention from private business
and devote them 10 the business oil the
public.
repeat that it is with feelings Of re-
gret which cannot describe that duties
OF paramount obligation impose upon me
the necessity oI declining nomination
made with so much personal good will,
aud with such unusual unanImlty.
But there is yet ample time for the
Whig State Central Committee in con
necrion with the Wing members Of the
Legislature. to adopt suitable measures
for bringing another candidate fully be-
fore the people we have in our
ranks an army Of mon, either Of whom
would worlhiIy Gil The office OF Chief
Magistrate OF the Stale, and on either
Of whom, without doubt, the whole Wing
party would most cordially and enthu.
siaslicalIy unite.
desire, in conclusion, most sincerely
to express the proIund sense ! enter
tain of the honor done me by the Con.
venlioD; and no one but myself can ever
know The deep emotions ol gratitude
which ilI my hear. even now, while
penning this communication and while
from necessity | surrender to the people
as now do, the nomination which their
representatives in convention conferred
upon me, assure them that II my Lille
be- spared, my humble Efforts aud my
ardent aspirations shall not cease for
the triumph Of the good cause in which
we are engaged Most respectfully.
