DEAR SIR: | have considered the information
you gave me, of a mistaken solicitude concerning
my supposed bias in favor of the Abolition can
didates and in opposition to Mr.. Clay. / should
certainly leave those apprehensions to the correc-
ton of time, as | have done in many similar ca
ses, il 1t were not that an election is at hand,
whose results might hereafter be supposed to have
had some influence on my political conduct.


You are therefore at liberty to publish, IN any
way you think proper, that while | adhere, and
expect to adhere as long as live to my published
principles and sentiments concerning Slavery,
still adhere Just as firmly, and expect to adhere
Just as long to the Wing party and It's candidates,
through all changes of time and circumstances
shall do this for the simple reason. that regard
the Wing party as the party through whose ac-
ton, wise measures and beneticent legislation must
chiefly be secured.


The two State Central Committees at Albany
in August last isseued u Circular recommending
the appointment OF Delegates by District Conven-
tons during the present autumn and recommend
ed further that the Delegates so to be appointed,
should be instructed to vote for Henry Clay as
the candidate OF the Wing party, already sponta.
neousv nominated and universally acknowledged
throughout the State. Those Recommendations
nave been adopted in every Electoral District.
venture to state, without asking previous leave
of the Committees, that those recommendations
were made by the Central Committees on my
suggestion, and in my own language.


Your friend and obedien, servant,


WILLIAM H. SEWARD
