GIRARD HOUSE, PHILADELPHIA, |
August IS, 1866.
To the Chairman Of the National Union Convention,
T5iladelpbia'
SIR: IL have this day received from
the National Union Committee, through
the Hon. VIM. S. Gr6esbeck, Chairman
of the joint Ohio delegation to your Con-
vention, ticket of admission as a dele
cate from that State. The Hon. George
W. McCook, the Chairman of the Demo
cratic delegation from Ohio, has also
communicated to me the following reso-
luton, this morning adopted by that
delegation
f" Rssolged unanimously, By the Ohio
Democratic Delegation, that we recognize
the right of Hon. Clement L. Vallandig-
ham, duly elected delegate from the
Third Congressional District of Ohio, to
hold seat in that Convention that we
should regard his exclusion from such
seat as an unjust and unreasonable in
fringement of the right of the Democracy
of said District, and are ready to stand
bv him in the assertion of his rights and
the rights of his constituents that we
indorse most cordially the purity and
patriotism of his motives, and his fitness
in every way to a seat in said Conven-
ton; vet, for the sake of harmony and
good feeling in the same. andin the great
ends for which it is called, we consent to
his withdrawal from a seat in the Con
vention, if in his Judgment his duty to
his constituents shall justify such with
drawal"
Yielding to my own deliberate convic-
tions of duty and right, to the almost
unanimous opinion and desire of friends,
whose wisdom and soundness of judg-
ment and sincerity and purity of motives
| may not question, to the end that
there shall be no pretext from any quar-
ter for any controverted question or dis
turbing clement in the Convention, to
mar its harmony or hinder in any way
the results to the cause Of the COnstitu-
ton, the Union and public liberty which
shall follow from its deliberations and
action, I hereby withdraw from the Ohio
Democratic delegation, and decline tax
ing nv seat in the Convention. I am
profoundly conscious that the sanctity
and magnitude Of the interests involved
in the present political canvass in the
United States are too immense not to de-
mand a sacrifice of every personal con.
sideration in a struggle upon the issue
Of which depends, as mostsolemnly be.
lieve, the present peace and ultimately
the existence of free Republican Govern
ment on this continent.
Trusting that your deliberations may
be harmonious, your proceedings full o
wisdom and patriotism, and its results
crowned with a glorious and saving
triumph in the end, to the great cause il
which every sympathy of my heart i
enlisted, am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
/ TSigned7 c. /. VALLANDIGHAM.
