city of Senator.
My respect for the views and feelings of those
who have taken an interest In bringing my name
before the democracy of this Senatorial district,
candidate for that highly honorable station, for
bids my refusing to let my name go before the con-
vention. But feel it dutyI owe to myself, and
those who are dependant on my exertions for the
comforts Of lie, to say to the members of that

ty can be brought to harmonize upon any other
one of the several candidates named, they will
confer great favor upon me by leaving my name
out Of the question; and TO that nominee prom
ise my hearty and cordial support. ~
