Declining the Governorship.

:, DOVER, Feb. s, 1866.
! MESSRS EDITORS: | regret that should l.,
compelled to say Il word about myself in tn,
public prints, but your article, headed "Drla
ware. IN THE AGE. of Yesterday, renders il
proper that | should do so.
! | beg leave to say, then, with reference t.
the subject IN question: that have not tn,
least idea that the Democratic party Of Della
| War0 would nominate me US their candidate fin
Hoyernor; II | desired it; for it is well known
to them that ! do not recognize myself as 4
member of any political organization. and that
would have been silent, i'll private even, for
some time past, upon the subject of politics,
but ior my determination always to oppose any
violation Of the Constitution under whatever
preteXt or excuse.
The guarantees of civil liberty are of infinite
ly more value to ma and mine i'm my eyes
than any form Of political society, or extent of
national domain. So feeling, | have, for the
last live years, opposed, to the extent of my
power as citizen, the suspension Of the great
'GF" g b6eFty, the habc0S corpus, and | have
also opposed tee arrest of citizens without legal
warrant, the suppression of freedom Of speech
ana OF the press, and also all interpretations Of
the Constitution at variance with the received
meaning of it, and of its amendments in the
.m,trt'cr ii not the better days of the republic
lhls has placed me in contratcrnity, to that
extent, with the Democratic party of Delaware.
As, therefore, there is only such connection
between sad party and me as results from 4
community OF sentiment upon the subject men
toned, 1t does not seem to- me that they would
be Justified in selecting me as their candidate
Tor any Oihcc much less for one so high and
with a patronage 50 great as that of Governor;
nor would any regard on my part forcandor al
low me to accept it at their hands The office
Di Toyernor OF Delaware is one well worth the
ambition of any man, but it cannot be filled by
'hG who IS not IN certain sense a partisan,
md do not feel that | am now such.
but 1t Is an error 70 suppose that the present
Incumbent, Governor salisbury, is ineligible
o the office of Governor. The provision Of
'ur Constitution does not apply to him, he ne
,er having been elected to the Office. And as
ne Democratic party control the State, know
II no citizen in the ranks of that party who |
you'd administer the duties Of the office, for
he next term, with more dignity, ability and
mercy than he has displayed during his in.
Yours, with respcct
