WASHINGTON, June %, 1859.
j. B. Dom, ESQ.,, Dubuque, Iowa
My Dear Sir have received your letter. in
quring whether my friends are at liberty to present
my name to the Charleston Convention for Presi.
dental nomination. Before the question can be
finally decided it will be necessary to understand dis.
Quoted.
If, as have fully faith they viii, the Democratic
party shall determine in the Presidential election Of
1850 TO adhere to the principles embodied in the Com
promise measures OF lS50-and ratified by the people
in the Presidential election of 1S52-rearmed in The
Kansas Nebraska act Of 1854 and incorporated with
the Cincinnati platform in 1s56-as expounded BY Mr..
Buchanan in his letter accepting the nomination, and
approved by the people in his electionsin that event.
my friends will be at liberty to present my name to
the Convention, if they see proper to do so.
If. on the contrary it shall become the policy Of
the Democratic party (Which cannot anticipate) to
repudiate their tmehonored principles, on which we
have achieved SO many patriotic triumphs; and
in lieu of them, the Convention shall interpolate
into the creed of the party such new issues as the re-
yval of the African slave trade, Congressional
slave code for the territories or the doctrine that the
Constitution of the United States either establishes or
prohibits slavery in the territories beyond the power
OF the people legally to control it other property
it is due to candor to say that in such event could
not accept the nomination, if rendered to me.
Trusting that this answer will be deemed sufli.
ciently explicit,
am very respectfully your FREUD,
