nominations. | also stated that if they thought
proper to honor me with the nomination for

decline it--that very important questions,
touching the finances, honor and dignity OF
the State, would be before the next Legisla-
ture, in which had had some experience, and
in the just settlement Of which it would be
very agreeable for me 10 participate
will now add, that il honored with the
nomination and election ! will give to the
best interests Of the State aud particularly to
