h every letter which tho old hero has written, and he teiis us that his correspondence has kept him busy, he utterly discaims all attention of eser becoming the candidate. of either the whig or Democratic party. The precipitate haste with which many of the whis prints nominated him for the Presidency, the eoaxing and soit.soapfng so eunningy used by others has failed to make him the tool by which they might ride Into power. His ohstnacy and non-committalism. the coolacss with which he receives all their invitations aud offers sf snprots. has dampened not ittie the ardor wit which they first proclaimed his aame for the Pres- dency. He has been entirely repudiated by some, ana othcss seem all at once 10 reme mber that there were formerly principles and land marks of the whig party which they were bound ts adhere to, and maintain by the election of proper men, Of the latter class is the Editor of tbe Richmond Va. Times ! whig who writes to his own raper letter from which the following is an extract:
