This they had a right to do. j The National Whig Convention met in June, find selected me as tlieir candidate. I accepted the nomination with gratitude and with pride. I was proud of the confidence of such a body of men representing such a constituency as the Whig pany of the United States, a manifestation the more grateful because it was not cumbered with exactions incompatible with the dig nity of the presidential office, and the responsibilities of its incumbent to the whole people of the nation. And I may add, that these emotions werrin-reased by asso ciating my name with that of lh distinguished citizen of Neiv York, whose acknowledged abilities and sound conservative opinions might have justly entitled them to the first place on the ticket. The convention adopted me as it found me a Whig decided but not ultra in my opinions; and I would be w ithout excuse if I were to shift the relationships which subsisted at the time. They look me with the declara tion of principles I had published to the world, and I would be without defence if I were to say or do anything to impair the force of that declaration. I h:iv s.iiil that T would arccnt n nnminntinn frn n Demotfiais; but in so doig I would not abate one jot or j ,h'' 51,1 i"'- and desiring to know whether the ( mon and so notorious, that thev scarcely ser of the public lands, which Gen. Cass nine i my opinions as wnuen uown. oucn a nomina tion, aS indiciUinir a coincidence of opinion on the part of thoe making it, should not be reg irded with disfavor by those who think wi'h me ; as a compliment personal to myself, it should not be expected that I would repulse them with insult. I shall not modify my views to entice them io my side ; T shill not reject their aid when they join my friends voluntarily. I hne said I was not a party candidate, no,r am I in that straightened and sectarian sense whiclvAvould pre vent iny being the President of the whole people, in case 'of myi election. I did not regard myself as one before the convention met, and that body drd not seek to make me different from what I was They did nor fetter nie down j to a series of pledges -which were to be an iron rule ol action in all, and in despite of all, the contingen cies that might arise in the course of ihe Presidential term. 1 am not engaged to lay violent hands indiscrim inately upon public officers good or bad, who may differ in opinion with me. I am not expected to force Con gress, Jy the coercion of the veto, to pass laws to suit me ipr pass none. 1 Ins is what I mean by not being a par ty candidate. And I understand this is cood Whig doc trine i-I would not be a plrtizan President and hence should not be a party candidate in the 6ense that would make one.
