Mr., Vallandigham said that he had
communication In writing, which, with
leave of the Chair, he would read from The
stand. His appearance on the platform
was greeted with moderate cheers. He
read a letter from Mr.. PendIeton, dated
Cincinnati, July I'd, and addressed to
Washington Mclean, Of the Ohio delega-
ton, authorizing the Withdrawal of his
name whenever it should seem desirable.
He deemed the success of the party far
more important than the qualification of
any personal ambition. If at any time a
name could be presented that would likely
more heartily unite the party, that his
(Peudleton's) name, be Withdrawn.

McLean's desire to present this letter early

who had supported him with such fidelity.
