long ago Withdrawn from the contest if he
had been permitted 10 do so, believing that
the highest interests of the country. nav.
the safety Of the Union itself demanded
that there should be an organization of the
House effected some way. His friends.
however, persisted that his name was under
their control, and wo1ld not permit him to
do that which it was his anxous desire to
perform. He now begged leave publicly
to express to his friends his wish that they
should no longer make use Of his name.
lie desired therefore to say to all his friends
that while he thanked them for the most
cordial and devoted support they had given
him, that it would give him the utmost
satisfaction if they would now concentrate
their vote on another candidate to whom
he would give most cordial support
