My Dear Sir-I am greatly obliged for
your favor Of the 18th inst. Those who
suppose that DO not acquiesce in the work
Of the national democratic convention, OF
that Do not sincerely desire the election of
the nominees, know very little of my char
acter. Believing, as ! really do, that the
protection Of the constitutional government
eminently depends on the success of the
democratic party in the coRing election,
we're to hesitate in its candid support, |
feel | should not only falsify my own record
but commit crime against my country.
never aspired to the presidency on account
OF myself. never sought its doubtful hon.
ors, and certain labors and responsibilities
merely for The position. Ny own wish was
to promote, if could, the good of the c0un.
try, and to rebuke the spirit of revolution
which has invaded every sacred precinct of
liberty. When, therefore, you pronounced
the statement in question false, you did ex.
actly right. Principles, and not men, is the
motto for the rugged crisis in which we are
now struggling.
Had | been made the presidential nomi.
nee, | should have considered ii a tribute
not to me, but to the principles which had
proclaimed and practiced but shall l cease
to revere those principles because, by mu-
tual political friends, another has been ap-
pointed to put them into execution Never,
never!
These, sir, are my sentiments, whatever
interested parties may say to the contrary,
and | desire that all may know and under.
stand them. | shall ever hold in grateful
remembrance the faithful friends who, hail.
ing from every section of the Union, pre-.
ferred me, by their votes and other expires.
sons of confidence, both in and out of the
convention, and shall do them all the JUS
tice to believe that they were governed by
patriotic motives; that they did not propose
simply to aggrandize my personal fortunes,
but to save their country through me, and
that they will not now suffer anything like
personal preferences or jealouses to stand
between them and their manifest duty.
have the honor TO be, dear SIR, very res
pectfully yours,
