And although the honoris one which did not
seek, and which had not the remolesi expectation
Of receiving, tinasmuch as had been induced,
by unforeseen contingencies, to request my friends
from Shepherdstown 10 Withhold my name from the
consideration of the CONVENTION yet it comes 10
me now under circumstances grateful 10 my feel
iags and with 30 many assurances that my accept
ance Of it will be in accordance with The expecta-
lion of the Wing party GENERALLY 10 the District
that do not feel at liberty 10 disregard the dictates
OF the duty it imposes upon me. therefore accept
tue nomination with no other reluctance than that
which arises from the consciousness that The COM
pliment it implies woalld have been far more fitly
conferred upon some older and adler member OF the
party.
With my warmest acknowledgements to the
members of the Convention for this manifestation
OF their confidence which in the coming Canvass
