GENTLEMEN; The period is rapidly approach
ing when you will again be called upon to elect
suitable person to represent you in the Senate Of
the next General Assembly: and as it is not my
intention again to be candidate, deem it du-
ty to apprize you thus early of my resolution, in
order that you may select one, who will truly and
faithfully reflect your opinions on every subject.
In declining to offer second time for your suf.
frages, 1 need scarcely remind you, that, though
Withdrawn from the contest, shall always regard
with pleasure the triumph of those principles, so
intimately blended with the fairest hopes of the
republic-ts honor and prosperity.


In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to add
how deeply grateful feel towards you, for kind
ness and confidence reposed in me under very
trying and peculiar circumstances and to state
moreover, that it will always be to me no less
pleasure than duty, to promote (as far as practi
cable) the principles of the Republican party.
