my thai. !;s for your words ol commend
lion. I highly app o iate the friendl)
spirit that prompto. 1 your letter and the
iuqiiries you make, nud 1 cheerfully
respond to the latter.
I arli and lime been ever since the
close of the lute war ident fl d with the
Democratic party. Looking only to the
hett iateieils of the people of this Stat",
and cenerally f the whole c iimtry, I
have unlornily in onl out nf p ;ic s' i
lion doi e what I coul I in all leeitimato
ways to promote this foiiunes of that
parly. I recngioxi itt riht to select
such of its members as it may sec fit to
fill the olliees and places in government.
which it may hae the imh,.i i Gil I I
ui wuLout mUitc otd I liao no din j-
u "u Ul P J
si'ion row, nor have I had ut any time in
the past, to thwart the duly xprcssed
will of that party in this respect.
According to party usage the Demo
cratic members of our Legislature hae
the riht in a party sense to select and
elect the United feintes Senator to bo
elected by that body in January next
I have no desire to oppose the free ex
ciciso of that par ty rioht, nor shall I nr
pose them in the due exercise of their
power. I say Iraokly thst it would fc
urceable to me to bo re-eleced to the
Senate. If they shall elect me, I shall
feel complimented and honored;
however, thct shall select somo other
per in, I shall abido their action.
I ought, perhaps, tn add, that I have
neither said nor done au thing at any
lime in the past, that contrsvences the
purpose I here express, nor have I hesi
tated to express myself fully on this sub
ject to all persons when called u; on to
do so lu a sincere and respectful
way.
I regret that there are those who
seek to injure me, and without nov just
cause, by misrepresentation and pcrver
sion of facts. I inn sensible of the rec.
litude of my intentions and conduct
through the wlmlii course of my politi.
cal life. I am willing to be j ideed bv
the record I hsve made. I challeoet he
strictest scrutiny of it. I only usk those
who assail tni to speak and represent
the truth as it is. I have an abidi g
faith in the disinterestedness and justice
of an appreciative and generous peop.
I have done my bst to serve them faith
fully under all circumstances and when
ever I could. I venture to bulieve that
I have n' t foifeitcd their Confidence
and n sped by the in lam willing to
be j'idjjed, and I do not fesr their judg
ment.
Trusting tint the. councils and action
of our party may be harmonious, and
that our State and common country may
be richly blest as a consequence.
