Mn. HUNTS LETTER.


We insert in another column the letter win winch
the Hon. WASHINGTON HuNT, of New York, has
responded to his nomination by the Syracuse Con-
vention as the whig candidate for the Office Of
Governor Of the State. Although relating to ques-
ons rather Of local than Of national politics, it is due
to matter which deeply affects SO large COM
munity, as well as to the estimable gentleman him
self, that this communication, explanatory of his
views Of the somewhat peculiar circumstances un-
der which he is brought before the public, should
End place in our columns. In regard to these
circumstances we do not feel ourselves called upon
at present to add any thing to what we said a few
days ago. Whatever diversity of sentiment may
exist among the Wings Of New York in relation
to the disturbing element which was unfortunately
introduced into the Syracuse Convention, and which
led to its rupture, there will be no diversity, we ap
prehend respecting the candidates selected by that
assembly for the chief Offices Of the State. Of this,
however, we shall not be left long in doubt as the
dissenting and retiring members of the Syracuse
Convention were to meet in Convention at Utica
the day before yesterday, to decide upon course
of action.
