Il
AFTERNOON SESSION.
AT the appointed hour, the Convention
again convened.
The chair announced that letter address
ed TO the President of the Convention had
been received from Rich. Warner, of Medina
county, which, on motion, was read to the
Convention
Whereupon it was
Resolred, That the communication Of Mr..
Warner, be published with the proceedings
OF this convention.
To the President of the sth Of January Con-
rention.
SIR:-My name having appeared in some
OF the public prints, as candidate to be pre-.
sented to the Democratic State Convention,
for the Office of Governor; and, as am pre-
vented by unforeseen circumstances from at
tending that convention in person, deem it
not improper that should inform you, and
the convention through you, of my unaltera-
BILE determination not to consent to be can
didate. ] highly appreciate the honor intend
ed by the mover in bringing my name before
the public for SO distinguished an Office
But am TOO anxious for the success of the
democratic party, TO allow anything personal
to myself to have the remotest chance of in
terfering with the prospect of their success,
which much depends upon their unity. And
if they can be united without sacrificing any
of the principles of democracy, and am sure
they can, their success will be glorious, and
work worthy of being commenced OH the
glorious Sth of January. My own opinion
remains unchanged as to the importance of
adhefing closely in prosperity and in ad-
versity to correct principles. If we abandon
any principles of equality for the purpose of
gaining temporary success, we inhict a lasting
injury upon ourselves, and the cause we un-
dertake to support. IF we have erred here
tofore, in departing from any of our princi
pies, let us Immediately return, and if human
progress and the progress Of events call for
the adoption ofany new measure for the pur-
pose of carrying OUT the eternal principles of
justice and equality, let us not shrink from
our duty, though our enemies sneer at what
they call progressive democracy The sur
face of our noble state, so uniformly even by
nature, has upon it mountain Of state debt,
and in this mountain are numerous volcanoes,
called banks, ready to burst upon us. The
Governor has told us that the bank question
is settled by the law of last winter. If this
is so, then is the triumph of federalism COM
plete-then moneyed aristocracy, with ex-
elusive privileges given them by law, are to
be allowed to plunder the people forever,
without responsibility TO either the civil or
criminal law-then are we become slaves in
deed. But Iapprehend that this question is
not yet settled in this mauner-I apprehend
that the democracy will war against exclusive
privileges and every other species ofinjustice,
and that when this question is settled, it will
be settled so that every man in this free state
shall have equal rights with his neighbor,
and if any man chooses to be banker, he
shall not be allowed to escape from respon-
siblity. There are number of important
questions that will come before the conven-
ton for consideration. May wisdom and
harmony prevail in the convention, and may
the candidate Of the democracy be elected,
is the hearty wish of your humble servant.
RICHARD WARNER.
