PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 13.-The following is
the letter OF Fernando Wood declining to
appear as delegate: ..- ...
"PH1LApELPHiA, August 13, 1s66.-To Hon. J..
r. DoOliute, Chairman, fc.:-Dear Sir am
earnestly desirous for the entire success of the
movement proposed to be initiated by the con.
vention of Tomorrow. Ifsuccessful. the results
to the country will be of the most salutary
character: but IL cannot be successful If its
proceedings shall be disturbed by any cause
whatsoever. I'd -
II am informed that a serious disagreement
is likely TO arise in con sequence of an attempt
TO be made to exclude some delegates-myself
iDcluded-because our political record is dis
tasteful TO the radicals and their sympathizers
Now, although L feel confident that such an
outrage would not be perpetrated by the con-
vention, and although i have othing 10 regret
or take back as to my coarse during the war,
and do not admit the right OF any one 10 raise
that question in the convention, vet am too
much devoted TO the accomplishment OF the
high and patriotic objects in view 70 permit
my presence there to be made the means of
disturbing its deliberations, and an ex cuse for
assaults by ITS enemies outside; therefore /
shall not attend the convention as delegate.
