Never. from the period OF The decision
Of the Philadelphia Convention agains,
my nomination as candidate for the Pre-
sidency. have ! been willing. nor am
now, to have my name associated with
that office. ! would moi accept nomi.
) Da.;Qn i il was le,dercd tn me: and il is
my unaffected desire that no further use
should lie made nl my name in connection
with that eilice. | have seen. therefore,
with regret, movements in varinus quar-.
tiers having { their object to present me
as candidate To the American people.
These movements have bern made with
ont any approximation from me. In the
present r"mplicalcd state of the Presidrn.
iIal 'lrclion, they caumQt, ~ my opinion,
be attended with any public gond. and
may tend TO the increase Of the embar.
rassment. and TO Tie transportation Of par,
ties.
Whilst | say this much, without re.
serve. | must nevertheless add, that feel
profound gratitude 10 such ol INV warm
hearted and faithful friends as continue Ia
indulge the vain hope OF placing BE in
the office Of the Chief Magistrate Of the
United States: aud that neither think il
just nor polite TO stIgnalize them as lar-
| tionisls. nor by any other oppr"hrIous cpl.
lhet. Among them | recognise names
which have been very distinguished for
ability, for devotion To the Wing cause,
and l"r ard"nt patriotism.
You advert with entire ruth 10 the zeal
and fidelity with which the Delegation
from New York sought in tie Ph'laieI-
phia ConvenIi"n To promote my nomina-
linn as Il candidatr lnr The Presidency.
| am most thankful TO Them. and shal ever
recnilcci their exertlUns with profound
gratitude.
With great respect, ] am your friend
and obedieHt servant,
