his reply:
LANCASTER, Sep. 10, l8i9.
Mr.. s. N. Booth, Chm Committee, &c:
Yonr letter of the It'll instant, giving me Off
Cial information of the action of the Union
Democratic State Convention, held at Madison
on the 7ih and 9Th instant, in nominating me as
candidate of the party represented by that Con-
vention for the office of Governor at the ensuing
election, is just received. You request, on be-
half of that Convention, information whether
except such nomination.
In reply, must say, that, willie feel CRATE
full for the distinguished and unsolicited partially
thus manifested in my favor by that Convention,
its acceptance is most respectfully declined.
Having been, with my consent, nominated by
the Democratic State Convention held at Ma,li-
son on the 9th and 9th Oft this month, as the can
ddate, for the same office, of the democratic par
tv, with which have always heretofore acted,
and to the principles of which am warmly at
tached, should be doing injustice to my own
feelings as well as to my former political associ-
ates, to consent to cecome the party candidate of
any other political organization.
Not willing to be elected under false colors,
trust this response will place me fairly before the
Country. NELSON DEWEY.
The Racine Advocate says that different men
have different opinions, and this letter is confir-
matory OF it. If, as is claimed by the party of
which the Gov. is peculiarly the nominee, there
is no difference in principle between US, how is
the Governor toinjure his own feelings or offend
his political associates by accepting our nomina-
ton. BY accepting our nomination he would
have done much to alay the suspicious AID jeal-
ousics existing between the parties BY refusing
it he adds confirmation to the opinion that the
Hunkers do not really entertain the sentiments
they have promulgated. If Gov. Dewoys feel
ings would be injured by accepting our nominal
ton, they would be equally injured by our voting
for him, and we do not know that any man has
right thus to injure him.
