Gentlemen: | have received, with emotions of deep sensblify, the information that have been nominated by the democratic convention lately as- se,nbed at Worcester, for the office of Governor of Massachusetts.
 The issue thus presebied for the consideration of the people of the State Is of principle not of sons And If I were aware of any present diler eace of principle between myself and the convention or it's constituents, should feel bound, ia honor gratefully and respectfully. but decidedly decline the nomination. But am not aware of any such difference. With the convention, adopt the most democratic construction of the letter and spirit of the federal constitution. With the convention heartily approve of the conduct and policy of the existing administration of the federal government In regari 10 a Ma ional Bank loag since had occasion, in the most public anl solemn official acts as meq,bef of Congress to express the opHon that such an establishment is moi rrqured by any fnan- cial interest of the Government, and would in aher respects be peFnicous n its operation private and public welfare, as had been the late Uaited States Bank.
 Tn regard 10 the tariff. if there be any party of men in the United States, who desire to impose du ties imports for thr protection of manufactures, as such, and not for revenue, notof that party but entirely in that respects also with the views of the Worcester convention.

 In that trial. the Union has risen mp from the re- pose of thirty years like giant refreshed by slam beT colossal grand, glorious and magnificent in the majesty of unconquered and uuconquerables ,reng,h, to the delight of her friends, the terror of her enc. mics and the admiration of the world.
 In the peniiude of our national resources we have, as 1t were, a moments notice, organized ar- mics. and the bountful supply of those armies with transportation, munitions and on a scale of rapi!ity completeness and extent of operations un- paralleed in modern times.
 With troops from the workshop and the plough, unrained, but omnipotent in the virtue of the voluntary and self-impeed force of democratic institutions, we have rushed on om victory to yic- tory, until we have overrun the Mexican Republic, and planted our triumphant banners on the sub;ec, towers of is capital.
 At each of this brilliant succession of victories we have in spirit of moderation of which no past his- tory affords example, rendered to Mexico the olive branch of pcace which sue, in that stupid infatua- ton which characteriIes her councils, and which has made of her government marvel ol crazy anar. chy, the contempt and scorn of all other nations- which she has obstinately and insolently repuised Under such circumstance as these, have thrown my life into the scale of my country's cause against my countrys enemies here in Mexico; and will not hesitate to fisk my honor on the stake of what conceive to be my countrys canse in Massachusetts When. therefore, the democracy of Massachu- sets invite me to cooperate with them on such an issue, l can but cordially accept the nomination which they hare in that atm so generously profFer. ed me, to the chief nagstracy of our honorea com. nonweaith. l have the honor to be-
