Dear Sir:--I have tho honor to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed letter of the 18th inst, which has just reached me accompanied by certain resolutions entered into by Democratic meeting of my fellow citizens at Gainesville. Tenn, the 7lh of June last, ir relation to certain important matters and principles connected with the manage ment of our national affairs. desiring 10 know my views and opinions in regard to the same, as they might have an important bearing on their course, should my name be before the country as a candi- date for the Presidency at the coming election; which must beg leave to decline doing, for even if disposed to do so, cannot spare the tune from my official duties to devote to inc investigation ei those subjects which their importance seem to re- quire, to enable me to reply to then in way that would be satisfactory to myself, much less so 10 your honorable committee.
