General HOWARD expressed his pride and qualification
that his own humble name. by his State had been
proposed for the high Office of Vice President Of the

for his ambition, and he therefore begged leave to
withdraw his name. He branched of into history
Of the triumphs of democracy in the days Of Jackson
and of his participation in those glorious events
He appealed for and hoped for healing of the breach
in the New York democracy; and that this only cloud
over the Convention would be dissolved,
And, like the baseless fabric Of VISION
Leave not wreck behind"
