Haze Of the autumn over valleys still
But naught Of sunlight, naught of azure haze,
Cheering my heart through all the dreary days.

Shows Of the winter, piled about my door;
Nor drifting snow, nor wind that maketh moan,

Sadly and tearfully, steal drops of rain
From the wet pines cometh sobbing tone,

DEAR SIR When | received your letter
Of May 22d, / had no thought that the
answer would be so long delayed but,
waving all excuses, proceed to answer it
now.
Under the circumstances of the case, it
ought not to have been doubted that
would give Mr. Lincon's nomination cor
dial and hearty support. But in declaring
my intention to do so, it is due to myself to
state some Of the facts and reasons, which
have a controlling influence over my mind,
and which / think ought to be persuative
arguments with some other men, whose po.
litical opinions and antecedents are, in some
important particulars, like my own.
There was no good ground for suppos-
ing that felt any pique Or dissatisfaction
because the Chicago Convention failed to
nominate me. ] had no such feeling. On
party grounds, / had no right to expect
the nomination. had no claims upon the
Republicans as party, for have never
been a member OF any party, so as to be
bound by its dogmas and subject to its dis
cipline, except only the Wing party, which
is now broken up and its materials, for the
most part, absorbed into other organiza-
tons. And thus ] am left, alone and pow
eress indeed, but perfectly free to follow
the dictates, of my own judgment and to
take such part iG current politics as my own
sense of duty and patriotism may require.
Many Republicans, and among them,
think, some Of the most moderate aud pa
lrlotlc OF that party. hOnored me with their
coincidence, aud desired TO make me theiI
candidate. For this favor l was indebted
70 the fact that between them and me there
as a coincidence of opinion upon certain
imp rtant questions Of government. The,
aud agreed in believing that the nationa
government has sovereign power over IN,
Territories, and that it would be impoliti,
and nnwise to use that power for the pro
psgation of negro slavery by planting Il Il
free Territory. Some Of them believed aI

monstrated the Great Eastern's superiority
as sea-going vessel, and the excellency
and reliability of her machinery. The dis.
