g Boston, Aug. 1.-The runners Of the de-
fiction Of Gen. Banks from the support OF
Grant and Wilson, are confirmed BY the
following letter: ~. i-sr II 81 Z, - /
Boston, july 81, lS72.-My Dear Sir: Il
have the honor to acknowledge By this note
in addition TO our conversation to-day, the
receipt OF yoar invitation to address the
citizens Oh Lynn on Thursday evening In
support of tho reelection OF Gen. Grant
and the policy OF his administration. No
invitation could have greater weight with
me from any part Of the country, nor nom
any portion of my fellow citizens, and it
gives me grest pleasure TO assure you that
nothing could be added to your Suggestions
as the representative of the citizens Of
Lynn, to induce me to accede TO the
request. Their kindness to me many years
since, is p continuing life remembrance and
nothing would give ne greater satisfaction
than to renew my associations with them.
But regret tosay thai l am not IN accord
with them in regard TO the Presidential can
vass. Against my wishes and my personal
interests, am compelled TO say that the
perpetuation of the present policy of the
Government is not for the advantage OF the
country, aud that it will not tend To estab-
lish its former good and prosperity, nor to
promote the interests OF any class Of citi-
zens. No personal feeling of any form or
character enters into this Judgment. Il is
in view ofthe General principles and public.
interests alone that am led to this conclu
sion. The uniting of the masses OF the
people of all parties, sections and races, in
support of the grand result Of the war Is
indispensable to the permanent establish
ment Of q general recognition OF these ne
suits. It can be secured By no other
means. We shall all be forced TO this con-
clusion sooner or later. This united action
upon this basis has been the hope Of my
life. l ferVently desired it during the war,
and in the reconstruction of the States sub
seouept TO the war. / believe il is now
rendered in good faith in the nomination OF
Mr.. Greeley, and for one | cannot reject 1t.
II was what | desired. Its contamination,
although sudden aud startling. does not
alarm me. My duty to myself and my
country require me to give BIN my support.
| cannot advocate before your friends q
different course, which neither my ludg-
ment nor my heart approves. II grleves
me most deeply to separate myself In
| thought or act from any Of those Wlth
| whom have been so long associated, and
to whom / am so greatly indebted, but
believe the result win justify my action and
give to the country that peace and pros
| perity which is the object of ali our laGors,
| and secure TO every citizen the civil and po-
| Iitjcal equality and freedom which was won
| BY the sacrifice OF so many valued lives.
/ Accent the assurances Of my lasting friend
shin and esteem, and believe me, yours,
