The disinpentioua and unmanly sug ration of my dslrt to remain in the ( bioet of Gen.

I felt, however, that I -as called to decide upon the question of my acceptance, mere- . .a sr a k a. ly as an intfyidual, but as a ciuaen, and iWiailtf1 !;va citizen of Georgia. On cspec cftrta' an prVJj of eeneral poC7'.somc hich wAf particularly interesting to PnnU ftfUiit State, the views com- of which the Peonl iri'unicated to me by the President, were i in accoriuiftk.;m to he my dutv, not to withhold any as tanee which I uld give to carry them into effect. The Jnnunciat,0Q 6f r ! e . names of the intended Cabinet seemed to . mi, however, to present an irvioperablo bar to my acceptance of the office which was tendered to me. I thought I foresaw rlesrly the evils which have too obviously ; i esi'ilted from this selection: A, stranger to Gen.

I an swered by detailing the conversation which had - passsd - bet ween- myself and Col.
