TO THE PUBLIC,

The various and conflicting reports which have
been In circulation, in regard to my intentions
with respect 10 the next Presidency, appear to
Inc to furnish proper occasion for a full frank ,
and explicit exposition Of my feelings, shes,
and views upon that subject. This, il is now my
purpose to make.
With strong disinchnation TO the use of NV
name again in connection with that Office, left
my residence in December last, under determi.
nation TO announce to the public, in some suita.
BILE form, my desire not TO be thought OF as can
didate.
During my absence, frequently expressed to
different gentlemen my unwillingness to be again
IN that attitude; but no one was authorized TO
publish my dc cision one way OF the other, having
reserved the night TO do so exclusively to myself
On reflection, thought it was due to my frends
to consult with them before took a final step.
Accordingly, in the course Of the last three
months, have had many opportunities OF con-
ferring fully and freely with them.
Many Of them have addressed to me the strong
est appeals, and the most earnest entreaties.
both verbal and written, to dlssuade me fr I'm ex-
ectting my intended purpose. They have rep
resented to me that the withdrawal Of my name
would be fatal to the success, and perhaps lead
to the dissolution. OF the party, with which
have been associated, especially IN the free
exist so great a probability of my election, if
would consent to the use Of my name; that the
great States Of New York and Ohio would in all
hum an probability, cast their votes for me; that
New York would more certainly bestow her suf-
frage upon me than upon any ether candidate.
and that Ohio would give her vote TO no candi
date residing in the slave States but to me: that
there is a better prospect than has heretofore at
any time existed that Pennsylvania would unite
with them; that no candidate can be elected
without the concurrence Of two Of those three
States, and none could be defeated upon whom
all three Of them should be united; that great
numbers Of our fellow-citizens, both of native
and foreign birth, who were deceived and there
fore voted against me at the last election, are
now eager for an opportunity Of bestowing their
suifrages upon me; and that, whilst there is
strong and decided preference for me, entertain

more available than any candidate that could
be presented to the Amencan people.

Everything connected with slavery-with
emancipation in any fOrm-should be truthfully
stated. and thoroughly examined, no matter how
unpleasant the task.
MIR. BAILEY, Of Virginia, in the House Of Rep
resentatives, April Sd, and the National IeteI-
hgeaeer some days previous, declared that a
decree Of Immediate emancipation, in the old
French Revolution, was the cause of the bloody
mas'acres of st. Domingo. The latter that is
the National lntelligencer) says: "Les Amis des
Noirs having, in the old Revolution, just as they
have done now, procured passage of II decree
to the same effect as that TO which We have re-
ferred, the Government Of their principal col
ony tSt. Domingo knowing that the decree
was one of desolation and death to them and
theirs, made by persons who either knew not
or were reckless what they were doing, hesitat-
ed to carry it into effect Impatient of the de-
lay Les Noirs took the execution of il into their
own hands" This position the Era disputes.
We cannot give its article, it is so long; we
must, therefore, condense il even at the hazard
Of spelling its mastery reply.
