"If the Convention at Baltimore will
nominate any rnan whose past life justi.
fics we'll founded confidence iu his Rdel-
ity to. cur cardinal principles, there is no
reason why there should be any division
among the really patriotic men Of our
country. To any such shall be most
happy to give my cordial and active sup
port My own decided preference is to
aid in this way, and not be myself can
didate.. But if Lincoln be nomi q ated, az
| belie.e he will, it would be. fatal to the
country to endorse his policy, and renew
a power which has cot US the lives Of
thousands Of men and needlessly put the
country on tie road to baDkruptcy.-
There will remain 20 alternative bu. to
organize against him every element of
conscientious opposition, with a view to
prevent the mis- fprtune Of his re -eec,ion.
In this contingency | accept the nomina.
ton at Cleveland, and as . preliminary
step have resigned my commission in
the army. This was a sacrifice which
gave me pain to take, but had for long
time fruitlessly endearored to obtain ser.
vice. l make this sacrifice now only to
| regain liberty of speech, aud leave moth
ing in the way Of disebarging to my ut.
/ most ability the task you have set before
me. With earnest and sincere thanks
for your expression Of confidence andre.
gard, and for the many honorable terms
with which you acqusint me with the ac-
tion of the Convention, remain, gen.
temen, very respectfully and truly yours.
