JOEgN n. EEALE's LETTER. OF aCCFzs.
lANCE.


My Dear Sir:-When wrote to my friend
c. o. Fogg, Esq, of Concord, prior to the Pitts.
burgh Convention, declining in anticipation any
nomination by that body, supposed that should
not have occasion to trcspasS on the attention Of
any one, on that subject. The decision which
then announced was not only in accordance
with my own taste and Judgement but was also
in pursuance OF the earnest and olt.repeatcd re.
quest Ct those whose wishes | felt bound to re-
spect, viz my wife and children. had sup
posed and hoped, after the letter was written.
that the close of my present terra of service in
the senate would close forever my political ca
roer, and that the brief period which was to
eiapso between the present and that event,
might not be disturbed by any attempt on the
part OF my friends 20 introduce my name into the
contests and struggle OF presidential election.
Butthe members CT that convention, with sin
gular unaHmity, have judged differently Such
being the case, and the friends with whom |
sympathiZc having determined that the great in
teress Of civil and constitutional liberty may be
best promoted by a course different from thatin-
Dictated by myself, have not felt at liberty. I'M
der the peculiar circumstances of the OCCASION
to set up my own opinion in direct opposition, to
such an expression Of my trieIds. therefore
Weld my own wishes and opinions to those of my
friends, and thus assent to what has been done,
notwIhs landing my previous refusal to consent
that ii might be done. | wish also to say to YOU
and through you 10 that portion of the public
who may feel any interest in the motter, that to
the inquiries which may be made Of me-, as well
as to those which have already been made, | have
no answer to make. suppose that those who
nominated me, did it from conviction of what
would do, founded on a knowledge of what had
done, rather than any facility eight be suppos-
cd to possess i'll making pledges and promises
for the future. But if were ever so much dis
posed to enter the lists and contend with those
who deal in promises and pledges, and profess
sions OF fidelity to the cause we Capouse, | could
hardly hope to come up to the standard of those
made by men prominent in our ranks four years
ago, but which have been since forgotten ard
trampled upon by those who made them, in their
hot haste to enrol themselves under banner
upon which are inscribed sentiments and princi-
pies seycn-fold more odous and abominabe than
than those against which they have revolted
Very respectfully,
Your friend,
JOHN p. HALE.

Democratic National Convention.
