FoREsT HUI PHiIApEIPHIA, July l. 1852
Gentlemen-As ! cannot leave home at present to
take advantage Of the invitation by which am honored
national anniversary you win perhaps instead Of
my attendance the kw sentiments herewith submitted
Lately, the people Of France have chosen President
by universal suffrage Presently the people Of Great
Britain to choose members Of Parliament by right Of
suffrage largely extended beyond what 1t was there And
then some three millions Of American citizens will with
out commoton dangerous controversy likewise elect
their President Within the same four months three Of
the most powerful and enlightened nations practical
acknowledge that great principle Of popular sovereignty
OF which the American Declaration Of independence was
Cordially sympatbixing in what you say Of disafection
and attached TO the party of which your society pro-
minent support l nevertheless deem the approaching
Presidential contest remarkably free from nauspcious
results Candidates will be severely tried but candid
appreciation think acknowledge that all four of
those lately placed before the public Of both parties for
advocacy safe meb. from Of whom has the
country anything TO fear but on the contrary much To
hope Two Of them--Ar King and General Scott
have known we'll nearly forty years and many trying
OCCASIONS found teen both always patriotic udcous
serviceabe. The other two--General Pierce and Mr.
Grahan-I have not known long we'll but after
some service in Congress with them both feel that
they are both gentle with whom institutions will
never be injured or endangered
General Pierce consider very happy hit in the
candidate, who will make excellent President.
The chief magistrate Of this country has become
mostly considered President ashingtons rociamaton

from the head of the army which conquered Mexico and
acting President Fillmore arrest Of the Cuban adventure
by which much more = done than attempted
by any European executive to ncutrayevcry
one of them merely executive and individual proves
that President Of the United States has power
merely as such than any king Or queen in Europe hardly
excepting the Emperor of all the Russias
II beheves therefore to be very careful whom trust
with such power
The only two questions of interior policy which the
country much divided. Office and slavery No one
fater myself of the four candidates before the
public will pander detesabe abuse of mstcrmed
democracy, by which humble and harmless incumbens
OF inferior places punished for not voting thinking

And as TO slavery the rival party conventions OF Bat
more have rendered it impossible for any President to
disturb and agitate the Union that subject without
violating all party and both party pledges, well all
patriotic considerations.
conventions have emphatcally declared that slavery
matter whether right wrong is part end parcel OF
state rights with which the nation has nothing to do but
to let it alone.

ALBANY, June o. 1852
Gentlemen-Your letter. inviting me to Join with
"The Society of Tammauy or Columbian Order in the
celebration of the ensuing anniversary of the nations
birthday" duly received and regret sincerely
that cannot be with you to participate personality the
enjoyment of that festivalespecaly at moment when
truly patriotic sentiment and feeling have eaced the
elements Of distrut and dscord recently existing and

republican and by more than by the members Of
every individual claiming to belong to the democratic
party and desiring through its organization perpetu

this the evidence strong and clear that he may

With the sad experience of the baeful and demoazing
effects Of such policy is II not due alike to the cha

States that dynasty ceinented in pecuation and fraud

Under the circumstances it highly probable though

That the whig party should present candidate who
will dissyow the conduct Of his supporters in time Of
