dress you, because no channel more appro-

my thanks to the convention over which you
presided onthe 9th instant, and to the masses
there represented.
am far from being insensibe to the steady

ton, having particular reference to myself

shall ever hold this and similar tributes
among my most cherished recollections.

edgements, l desire to add, that the same

that time has controlled my judgement in
this respect, now impel me to say that the
use of my name, in any event, before the
democratic National convention at Baltimore,
to which you are delegate, would be en-
tirely repugnant to my tastes and wishes.
am, with the higest respect and esteem,
your friend, FRANK PIERCE.

He also declined since the democratic
convention met; but it seems they will make
him President in spite of himself.
