Frankfort. gave or rather renewed the offer to Mr. Crit

with many thanks to the old hero for the compliment
declined the appointment All the whig members of the
Legislature had united in the written expression of de-
sire that Mr. c. should take the secetayshp if rendered
to him; but he for satisfactory to his pure,
patriotic, and enlightened mind decided otherwise. He
will remain at Frankfort in the quiet and faithful dis
