 WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 18fE.

 Dear Sir Il know not what to say to You ip relation to the approaching conyen- ,tioa. l have had no agency in connecting my name with it, but on the contrary have, on all suitable occasions, desired my friends i 10 look to some other quarter for a standard bearer ot our principles in the coming con test. Those principles lie near to my heart, and have been and shall ever be proud i'll doing any thing to advance and uphold them But l cannot but think that the convention, in casting about, can find others more able than myself and more available to accomplish I the great work which now lies before them. Ii so, l desire most earnestly and sincerely that theymay make different selection, and | will cooperate with them by all the means and exeuions in my power This desire is | psedcated on no indifference, nor on any de- spondence of success. More than twenty wears in the public service will dispgove the ! first and as to the lasi,he were unworthy of democratic support who would stop 10 count the chances These sentiments have be f fore expressed to you, and now desire that you will take charge of my name before that convention, and not permit 1t to be used for any purpose of dislsactlng or dividing our party, nor Tn a manner to effect nomination which shall not receive the sanction and ap- probiiIon of the whole democracy of the . .stite In any diversity of opinion as to the r individual to be selected, earnestly desire [ that you yield itup in favor of any other, to whom any portion of the convention may in- dicate preference.

 Writing with some pain from recent indis- position, remain your

 obedent servant.
