PHILADELPHIA, August 15.-The Com
mittee on Credentials reported in favor of
the admission of General Crosby's fMaine)
delegation. The letter of Vallandigham
met with great applause. After stating
that the Ohio delegation had passed reso.
lutions endorsing him as a duly elected
delegate, his patriotism and fitness to re.
present his constituents, and declaring
their willingness to stand by him in the
assertion of his rights as delegate should
he deem it proper to present himself to the
Convention, he says: Yielding my own
deliberate convictions of duty and right to
the almost unanimous opinion and desire
of friends whose wisdom and soundness
of judgment and sincerity and purity
of motives | may not question, to the end
that there shall be no pretext even from
any quarter for any controverted question
or disturbing element in the Convention
to mar it's 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 its
action, hereby withdraw from the Ohio
Democratic delegation, and decline taking
my seat in the Convention. / am pro-
foundly conscious that the sanctity and
magnitude of the interests involved in the
present political canvass in the United
States arc too immense not to demand a
sacrifice of every personal consideration
in struggle upon the issue of which de-
ponds, l solemnly believe, the present
peace, and ultimately the existence Of a
free republican government on this con-
tincnt." In conclusion, he trusts "the
proceedings will be harmonious, the action
wise, and that the results will be crowned
with triumph"
