Permit me, dear air, to indulge the hope that he

J. M MOREHKAD,
President of the Whig National Convention
- Baton Rough, La., July 15th, 1848r
Sis; I have hid the honor to receive your com
munication of June lOlh, suuounciu that the
Whig Convention, which assembled at Philadel
phia on the 7th of that mouth, and ef which you
were the presiding officer, has nominated me for
the office of President of the United Stales.
I Hiking to the composition f the Convention,
mid il. numerous and patriotic constituency, I feel
deeply grateful for the honor In-stowed upon me,
and for the distinguished confidence implied in my
nomination by it, to the highest office ill the gift
of the Aniericau people.
I cordially accept the nomination, but with a
Pliirere ilixtrust of my fitness to fulfill the duties of
mi office, which demands for it" exercise the most
rtl(el nbilities and patriotism, aud which has
l-en rendered illustrious by the greatest names in
our history. But should the selection of the Whfg
('nuvciiliou be confirmed by the people, 1 shall
enriesvoi lo dischsrgc lije uew dutiea tlten drvolv-
ing upon m aiMid meet nt just ripectalions il
or inquiriug.aftef mutters and tilings tliat he cap
know nothing of. Under these circumstances, he
hna for mine lime pant refused to take from the
office any letter aot postpaid, or not directed in a
hand he recognised, and the consequence is that a
great number of letters collected here were ou the
1st of July forwarded to Washington."
Soou aiter these refused letters were received in
Washington, the following letter waa received by
the Auditor of lbs Post Office Department;
Post OrncR, Baton Rougc, (La.) I
July 8, 1W48.
Dtnr Sir: In the quarterly return from this
oAice for the quarter ending 3(lth June, 1848,
there are two "bund lea of refused letters. The
majority of them are for Gen. Z. Taylor. The
General's postage haa amounted to wo ninch of
late that he has been constrained to refuse many
nf the leas important communications that come
to him. The letters iu question were hastily ex
amined, as he did uot expect them to be sent off
under three months, lie now fluda that some of
them are of importance to him, ami desires litem
retarded, which please do as early as possible, and
oblige your very obedient servant,
GF.ORGK A. PIKE. P. M.
The Intelligeucer says: The. Letters referred
lo, and among them one recognised s being in
the hniid-wriiing nf Governor Morehead, have
been returned, nnopeued, to Uie Postmaster at
Balon Kouge, to be delivered to Geji. Taylor.
Perhaps we may yet boar of the fate ut the
other two tetters.
P. S. The mystery ia not yet solved. Tlie V
n ion eaya 1 1 ml the letters supoeed to be iu the
handwriting of Gov. Morehead, are, postmarked
the 7lh and 9lh of June. Gov. Morehead eaya he
wrote hia first letter on the 1 0th of June. These
of the 7th and 9th, therefore, which wore return
ed to Washington, could not be Gov. Morehfnd's.
It is said by others, that the letter thus attributed
to Gov. Morelu-ad, is a large one, apparently con
taining a newspaper. It is certainly very impro
bable that Gov. Morehead would enclose u news
paper, or anv thing else, in hia letter.
The Locofoco pers affect to he very indlg
naut at Ihe auupositiou that Gov. Morelieud's let
ters had been pilfered by a dishonest Postmaster.
But they should hear in mind that they com
menced the game of imputations, hy supposing
that Gov. Morehead, for a sinister purpose, had Frkk Si ri-KA;K A singular disclosure is made j
uot written st all, or if he had, that Gen. Taylor by a w riter in the Register. He is a Lornfncu, as
iutended, for a like purpose, to be Mum.

remarkable Jim Crow performances which nave
been exhibited lo an admiring world for ten yearn
past by the Hon. Henry A. Wise of Virginia, the
one which we have now to relate is the most re
markable. Let us premise, that this former nltrn Jackson
man, next ultra Whig, now ultra Locofoco, who
ouce denounced Jas. K. Polk as the "petty tool
of a tyrant," and afterwards supported and laifdod
the said Polk, is now the Locofoco candidate for
Elector iu the Acooinac District, Virginia, and is
going about the District making speeches iu favor
of Cass and Butler. With these Tacts before him,
let the reader mark the following testimony of
Mr. Wise before the Investigating Committee of
the House in 1837, of which Committee Mr. Wise
was Chairman, as it was appointed on bis own
motion:

War, was engaged iu speculating in tlie public

party, which we copied (and commented on) a
few weeks ago from Gen. Cass's Letter of accep
tance of the Locofoco nomination:
"The very first article in the Democratic creed
teaches, that Ihe s?op!e are competent lo govern
themselves: it is indeed, rather an axiom than au
article of political faith. From the day of Gem.
Hamilton to nvr day, the party opposed to us of j

Ihe founder while it has changed its name, ha
preserved essentially lit identity of character;
and the doubt he entertained and taught of the
capacity of man for self-government has exerted a
marked influence upou its action and opinions.
Here ia the very starting point of the difference
between the two great pur lie which divide our
count) y. All other differences are hut subordinate
and auxiliary to this, and may, in fact, be resolv
ed into it. Looking with dauht vpon the ite of
r If government, one party is proue to thiilk the
public authority should be strengthened, and to
fear any change, lest that change might weaken
the necessary lorce of the government; -nhile the
ether, strong in its convictions of the intelligence
and virtue of the people, believes that original
power is safer lhau delegated," Slo. Slc,

We are glad to find that they, and Mr. Fentress,

they call his enlarged liberal views of the rights of
the poor honest man."

political institutions to our manners and condition."
In 1348, he says that the Whigs never have.
"from Uie days of Gen. Hamilton," recognised any
such thing.
