The letter of Vallandigham met with
great applause. After stating that the
Ohio delegation had passed resolutions
indorsing him as duly elected dele
gate, his patriotism and fitness to repre-
sent his constituency, and declaring their
readiness to stand by him in the asser-
ton of his rights as delegate, should
he see proper to present himself to the
Convention. He says;
Yielding my own deliberate convic-
ton of duty and right 10 the almost
unanimous opinion and desire of friends,
whose wisdom, soundness of Judgment,
sincerity and purity of motives, may
not question, and to the end that there
shall be no pretext from any quarter for
any controverting question or disturbing
element in the Convention to mar its
harmony, or hinder in any way the re-
suits TO the cause of the Constitution, the
Union and public liberty, which shall
follow from its deliberations and its &C.
tons, / hereby withdraw from the Ohio
delegation, and decline taking my seat
in the Convention; | am profoundly
conscious that the magnitude of the in
terests involved in the present political
canvass in the United States, are too
momentous not to demand sacrifice OF
any personal consideration, in struggle
