| Sir: have the honor to acknowledge the receipt

extracted from the Signal of the 18th April
At this time, my public duties command so fully

letter in the terms demanded by its courtesy and the
Importance Of the sentiments TO which 1t alludes;
neither, indeed, have | the time, should feel my
self at liberty to enter into the few and most general
subjects of public policy suggested by the article IN
question. My own personal views were better with

a military chief, serving in the field against the COM
mon enemy, shall no longer be compromised by their

From many sources have been addressed on the
subject Of the Presidency, and do violence neither
to myself nor to my position officer OF the army,

have alluded TO the of my name in this exalted
connection, that my services at the will and

that shall refuse if the country calls to the Pre-
sdentia office but that and shall yield to no
call that does not from the spontaneous action
and free will of the nation at large and void OF the

For the high honor and responsibilities of such an
office, take this occasion say that have not the
slightest aspiration; much more tranquil and salts
