Dear Sir On the 22d day of May last, I addressed you a letter explaining my views iu regard to various matters of pub lic policy, lest my felIov-citiz.ens might be misled by the many contradictory and con flicting statements in respect to tfiem which appeared in the journals of the day and were circulated throughout the country. I now find myself misrepresented and mis understood upon another point of such im portance to myself personally, if not to the country at large, as to claim from me a can did and connected exposition of my rela tions to the public in regard to the pending Presidential canvass. The utmost ingenuity has been expend ed upon several letters, and detached sen tences of letters, which have recently ap peared over my signature, to show that I occupy an equivocal attitude towards the various parties into which the people are divided, and especially towards the whig party as represented by the National Con vention which assembled in Philadelphia in June last. Had these letters and scraps of letters been published or construed in connection with what I have heretofore said upon this subject, 1 should not now have to complain of the speed with which my an swers to isolated questions have been given up to the captious criticism of those who have been made my enemies by a nomina tion which has been tendered to me without solicitation or arrangement of mine ; or of the manner in which select passages in some of my letters, written in the freedom and carelessness of a confidential correspon dence have been communicated to the pub lic press. But riven from the context, and separated from a series of explanatory facts and circumstances which are, in so far as is&aa!f,J?5eJit. bJ.trical, they tive fabrications. 1 address you this let ter to correct the injustice that has been done me, and the public to the extent that 1 am an object of interest to them, by this illiberal process. I shall not weary you by an elaborate recital of every incident connected with the first presentation of my name as a can didate for the Presidency. I was then at the head of the American army in the val ley of the Rio Grande. I was surround ed by whig and democrats who had stood by me in the trying hours of my life, and whom it was my destiny to conduct through scenes of still greater peril. My duty to that army, and to the Republic whose bat tles we were waging, forbade my assuming a position of seeming hostility to any por tion ot the brave men under my command all of whom knew I was a whis in prin ciple, for I made no concealment of my political sentiments or predilections. such had been the violence ot party- struggles during the late presidential elec tions, that the acceptance ot a nomination under the various interpretations given to tne oDiigaiionsoi a canuiuate presented to the public with a formulary of political prin ciples, was equivalent almost to a declara tion ot uncompromising enmity to all who uiu not suoscriDe to its tenets. 1 was un willing to hazard the effect of such relation ship towards any of the soldiers under my command when in front ot an enemy com nion to us all. It would have been unjust in itself, and it was as repugnant to my own feelings as it was to my dutv. 1 want ed unity in the army, and forebore any act that might sow the seeds ef distrust and discord in its ranks. 1 have not my letters written at the time beiore me, but they are all of one import, and in conformity with the views herein expressed. Meanwhile 1 was solicited by my per sonal friends and by strangers, by Whigs and Democrats, to consent to become a candidate. I was nominated by the people in primary assemblies by Whigs, Demo crats, and Natives, in separate and mixed meetings. I resisted them all, and con tinued to do so till led to believe that my opposition was assuming the aspect of a de fiance of the popular wishes. 1 yielded only when it looked like presumption to resist longer, and even then 1 should not have done so had not the nomination been presented to me in a form unlikely to awaken acrimony or reproduce the Ditter- c t i-i r. 1 t ness oi reeling wnicn attenus popular elec tions. I say it in sincerity and truth that a part of the inducement to my consent was the hope that by croing into the canvass it would be conducted with candor if not with kindness. It has been no fault of mine that this anticipation has proved a vain one. After I permitted myself to be announced for the Presidency, under the circumstan ces above noticed, I accepted nomination after nomination in the spirit in which tkey were tendered. They were made irrespec- ivo of narties. and so acknowledzed. No one who joined in those nominations could have been deceived as to my political views. I :rri ti rv From the beginning till now 1 have declar ed myself to be a whig on all proper occa sions. With this distinct avowal published to the world, I did not think that I had a right to repel nominations from political opponents any more than I had a riht to refuse the vote of a democrat at the poll; and I proclaimed it abroad that 1 should not reject the proffered support of any body of my fellow-citizens- This was my position when in November last 1 returned to the United States ; long before either of the greaj divisions of the people had held a national convention,, aud. when it was. thought doubtful if one of them would hold any. Matters stood in this attitude till s when there were so many statements in cir culation concerning my views upon ques tions of national policy, that I felt con strained to correct the errors into which the public mind was falling by a more ex plicit enunciation of principles which I did in my letter to you in April last. The letter, and the facts which 1 have detailed as briefly as a proper understanding of them would permit, developed my whole position in relation to the Presidency, at the time. The Democratic Convention met'UuMay and composed their ticket to suit them.. This they had a right to do. The National whig Convention met iu June, and select ed me as their candidate. L accepted the nomination with gratitude and with' pride. t I .f Tl f r- , i was mouu oi me connaence oi such a body of men representing such a constitu ency as the whig party of the United States, a manifestation the more grateful because it was not cumbered with exactions incom patible with the dignity of the presidential office, and the responsibilities oPits incum bent to the whole people of the nation. And I may add, that these emotions were in creased bv associating my name with that of the distinguished citizen of New York. whose acknowledged abilities and sound conservative opinions misht have iu&tW entitled him to the first place on the ticket. x n convention adopted me as it found me a whig decided but not ultra in mv opinions ; and I would be without excuse if I were to shift the relationships which subsisted at the time. They took me with the declaration of principles I had publish ed to the world, and I would be without defence if I were to say or do anything to impair the force of that declaration. 1 have said that I would accept a nomi- vmfraui toiPGtfW jtJ'af wsp jMj opinions as written down. Such a nomi nation, as indicating a coincidence of opinion on the part ot those making it, should not be regarded with disfavor by those who think with me ; as a compliment personal to myself, it should not be expect ed that I would repulse them with insult. I shall not modify my views to entice them to my side j I shall not reject their aid when they join my friends voluntarily. I have said 1 was not a party candidate, nor am 1 in that straightened and sectarian sense which would prevent my being the rresiuenc oi me w noie people, in case ot my election. I did not regard myself as one before the convention met. and that body did not seek to make me different from what I was. 1 hey did not fetter me down to a series of pledges which were to be an iron rule ot action in all, and in des pite of all, the contingences that might arise in the course of the Presidential term. I am not engaged to lay violent hands in discriminately upon public officers, good or bad, who may differ in opinion with me. I am not expected to force Congress, by the coercion ot the veto, to pass laws to suit me or pass none. This is what I mean by not being a party candidate. And 1 un derstand this is good whig doctrine I would not be a partisan President, and hence should not be a party candidate in . . . . r . .... . the sense that would make one. this is the sum and substance of my meaning, and this is the purport of the facts and circum stances attending my nomination, when considered in their connection with, and dependence upon, one another. I refer all persons, who are anxious on the subject, to this statement for the proper understanding of my position towards the Presidency and the people, ll it is not in telligible. I cannot make it so, and shall cease to attempt it. In takinsr leave of the subiect. I have only to add that my two letters to you em brace all the topics 1 design to speak of pending this canvass. If I am elected, I shall do all that an honest zeal may effect to cement the bonds of our Union and es tablish the happiness of my countrymen upon an enduring basis. Z.. iAYLUK. To Capt. J. S.

The glades are filled with a; tall grass from 9 to 10 feet high, rite an naa P decay of which has occasioned a deposited in the water of from 2 to 6 feet thick.- Ib is proposed to cut canuals ordrainsTtlit'ouhi the soft rock of the rim into rivers around it, in which now, when the waters of the glades arrive at a certain height, they flow through tissnes,or depressions, or confined? subterraneous outlets. This will, it is. said, reclaim for cultivation niost of the subaqueous soil in the glades and the two large swamps mentioned), which are over flowed from the glades; The correct quantity of land estimated1 as reclaimable is one million of acres. The eost is estimated at from $250,000 to1 S500,00. Besides this, it is proposed as a part of" the same improvement to draint five or six feet of the Great Lake Okeecho bee, nearly 40 miles square, by two canals,, each 12 miles long : one into the Catoosa Hatchee, a river flowing into the gulf and the other into the Loch a Hatchee, a' river flowing into the Atlantic. In the largest estimate of expenses above given, the cost of these two camials ir included. This,, it is supposed, will drain some hundred thousand acres of the best bottom sugar' land in the South, now valueless, lying on. the Kisscme river, which annuallv over flows, owing to the rise in the Okeechobee,! into which it empties. Mr Wescott, of Florida, introduced at. ths late session of Congress a bill to grant? all this region to his State upon condition that it would drain them We have before us document No 242 of the Senate, con taining interesting information oa tWi" subject. The commissioner of tlie general' land office, the secretary of the treasury, and the committee on public lands of the Senate, have all decidedly reported in fa vor of the measure : and a very able ofli f i?1 . 1?

We do not profess to be competent to judge of the practicability of this scheme ; but at any rate it is a grand conception, and' one which, it the senator from monua succeeds in, he may rest satisfied with the good he has done.

The most stupendous public improve ment of modern times is that proposed with reference to the region on the penin sula of South Florida, called the ever glades.
