GrA correspondence is published between
whig friend. Dick Thompson and the Secretary of
State, in which Dick states that he feels in duty
bound to decline the Austrian mission because, "the
present condition Of affairs at home is such as
to demand of every citizen of the country the EN-
ployment of whatever vigilance and energy he may
possess, that our institutions may be preserved and
the Union of the States perpetuated." Dick evident
ly wants better Office than the Austrian mission
