JOHN LANGDON.

JOtN LANGDON.
The letter was despatched on the day of its
date by Chas. Thomson, who was SO long the
clerk OF the old Congress, and Of that which
declared independence.
On reaching Mount Vernon, Mr.. Thompson
on presenting the letter made formal address
to Gen. Gen. hington-announcirg its
Iimport-expressing the hope that the office
would be accepted by him. and concluding BY
saying that he "hadit incommand to accompany
the President elect to New York, where the
Senate and House of Representatives are
convened for the despatch of public bust
ness"
Gen. Washington thus replied:
SIR:-l have been accustomed to pay so
much respect to the opinions of my fellow
citizens, that the knowledge of their having
lgiven their unanimous suffrage in my favor
scarcely leaves me the alternative for an op-
ton. l cannot, believe, give greater EVIL
dence OF my sensibility to the honor which
they have done me, then by accepting the ap-
pointment. am SO much affected by this
fresh proof Of my countrys esteem and conf
dence, that silence can best explain my graft
tude. While l realized the arduous nature Of
the task which is imposed upon me, and feel
my own inability to perform it, l wish that
there may not be reason for regretting the
choice, "foE indeed all can promise is only
to accomplish that which can be done by an
honest zeal.
Now hear Zachary Taylor:
/ cordially accept differentiation, but with
the sincere distrust OF my fitness to fulfil the
duties of an office which demands for its exer
else the most exalted abilities and patriotism,
and which has been rendered illustrious by the
greatest names in our history. But should the
selection of the wing Convention be confirmed
by the people, l shall endeavor to discharge
the new duties then devOlving upon me
so as to meet the expectations of my fellow
citizens, and preserve undiminished the pros
perity and reputation of our common coun
try.
This is the Washington platform-this il
the American platform, and upon it Gen. Tay
lor will stand triumphantly before the Ameri
can people.
