Influenced by these considerations e bea; leave to Invite tour atteniio) lo tome Important facta and circumstances, as well a principle, involved In the proposition to nominate a CandiJate foe the Presidency of the Unl ted States, to succeed ihe venerable pat riot whe now Ella that distinguished na tion. You are no ooubl a ware, that, Irom the period of the Con4 election of Mr. Jefferson, down lo the first election of Mr. Monroe in 1816. the nomination of the ucccssful candidate for this high office ha been made by what i called a Con gressional Caucus, composed of the Re publican member of Congress, and that then nominations were made by the ton tent of the Rrftubticon Party throughout thenttinnt but the event which took plare in Id 1 6, al the la$( eaucut ntmtn thn ! togather with the subsequent dis cussions, have excited strong apprehen sion, among the Republican party in a mijority of ihe States, that the voice of the people may be misrepresented in auch a meeting. We do aw propose to inquire whether that iprchf fttlon tt b wii founded as In justify, of tmt ground, an abandonment rf this mode of nomination at the present rime. It auDicient for u to tinder-st.t-d that the trill of the fie-yftle h the high eit fiolit tal otjirt'(, and that this maxim spplie in its lull force, a well to the or g.ntzaiion of part? associations necessary to the public welfare, as to the establish ment of general political compacts. Whatei er mode ef nomination, therefore, ne.-ivet the general assent and approba tion of a part? throughout the nation, al though there may be tome' obvious defect in itt forms, may properly be regarded as the decltiation of the popular ill of that party, and entitled lo be respected at; such ; but when any mode of nomination ceases not only to meet the general ap probation of those who of right mv par ticipate in it, but eventually becorviet unae trfttable tot majority of thrm, it would be conirarv iv every iirim tuiv ui iiruuiiii.u v ' . : 1 .

Soth a procedure n 10 ur from 1 . t J . aa ff I beipff entitled to the appellation of a Re- ilia. VI mt the essential characteristics of aristocracy- Guided hy tht se views, which we have no doubt are in perfect accordance with our' political principles 4w carefully in quired into, and deliberately considered, as far as we are able, all the circumstan ces that ought to govern our conduct in relation to the nomination, at this Urai, of Candiriutea for the Piesidency and Vice -Presidency of the United Mates by a Congressional Caucus. In the fi: s place, we have reason to be lieve, that owing to. the ii.flnence of lie opinion in a majority of electoral so'fs, the represenatives in longress from those st-tea considering themselves as forjtidden to take any part in the pro ceedings of a Congressional Caucus : and, in the second place, that any nomination so made would be resisted by the repub licans in all the states which are opposed in nriiK inle to the mode. From whtch it is evidt'it, first, that the representation in , a - - i . l- l ....u ' u 1 . .. .. . r ned, would not only be more detective than the representation of the republican Mnv . m ri w nirii rnmri r.nw nr. fiiiivr- '- rjartv in Coneress, but must consist of aiMiaour small minority of that representation, in complete aa it is : And, secondly, that any nomination made bv a majority of thcrepublican reptrsciMfltivTS-m-t'crtr' great being essentially an aristoerirttc-atr tempt of a few to control the many, tin- supported by any usage or expression of public opinion to give tt sanction, would have oo claim to confidence, lorm no r al lying point of union, but inevitably tend to produce incurable dissensions in the republican party throughout the nation which might injuriously affect the per manent interests of our country. In . addition Jo thee considerations, there is one more immediately connected with the interests of Pennsylvania, which has not bean without considerable weight in our deliberations upon h rvnpvity ot pledging ourselves1 to abide the decision of any partial meeting q members of Con gress that might attempt a nomination; The assembbge'of such ar meeting beinj? ' unauthorized by "the-whole - re pnblict party. Would neither Btternpr nor desire to, exercise any com rol over its proceed ing s, which, thus exempted from proper res ponsibility, would be left lo chance, un influenced by the salutary.. restraints of public opinion, and the candidate selected rnittl.t happen to f a one wlose view of nati'insl policy were the most. Opposed to the Intercut of Pennsylvania 1 and If we were to attend auch a mealing, although such a candidate were nominated by a aa' a. majority ol out tingle vta, we should according to the usare of these cases, be come pledged to support Mm though in opposition lo the united voice of our con stiiuentt. We thould be whollr at a tuts. in such in event, to find any excuse for a naving taken atep to adverse to your in terest, and so incompatible with thn obi I gation which your confidence hat Ire do ed on us. Wo Jhive, .therefore, Bf((r the most mature consideration, conclu- dad, that whether we regard the preaer ad'herencee tuname jifincTjrH of rt publkao poller, r the great inter. ettt of the American nation, or the more Immediate Interest of Pennsylvania, It it equally inexpedient and Improper for o at this time, aa republican reprsenje firce of Pennsylvania, to attend any par. tlal meetinc or Caucus of members or Congreas lo nominate candidates lor the Preaidency and Vice Presidency of the Untied States. ""And In order that yon may be fully In formed upon ihia aubject, in time te de vise some mode of nomiaetion that might be generally acquieaced in, we have, in obedience to aente of duty to those by whose tuiTrage we held our teat in Con grctt, deemed it proper to make the avow al of our determination, with the retsons upon which it it founded. rJiomea Patter$on.
