T ll t Mr: At a rtepuoncan convention, assem bled in this place by previous appointment vou have been nominated as a candidate for the Vice Presidency, and presented to the people as a suitable person to iiJl that high and res ponsible office. That convention has consti tuted us the organ of communication to you, of this distinguished mark of their confidence. It -gives us pleasure to inform you that, though There were other worthy and favorite individ uals of the democratic party sharifig largely in their regard, and dividing with ylou their con fidence; yet, when the clear and ascertained will of the respective delegations indicated you as the preferred object of their wishes, . every voice in the convention united in the 'choice. If the great Republican party throughout the . Union shall continue faithful to the principles they have so long maintained, and be animated bv the same zeal and unanimity which charac . tcrized their representatives in the convention, -and in a peculiar manner marked the result of their proceedings, we have every reason to congratulate you and our illustrious President, that there is in reserve for your wounded feel ings a just and certain reparation and an am ple retribution for the injury meditated against the well meant, measures 'at a i'atriot, whose expected. It is to be hoped, however, that no-. ning will occur to impair the Mrmony and al- fection which have hitherto bound together, in one political brotherhood, the Republicans 0f the North and the South, th East and the West ; and which, bv cementing their union and securing: their concerted action, have here tofore contributed so lartrelv td the welfare ofj " - the nation. The differences to which yo u have alluded, grow out of circumstances not easily controlled; yet I cannot but concur with you in the belief that they may be overcome, if our pffnrtM are. conceived in a generous spirit of conciliation; and accompanied by a sincere de termination not to suffer its operations to be counteracted by personal prejudices or local in- terests. That such etiorts will ne made, in eve ry quarter of the Union, is not to be doubted, and we have therefore no occasion to despair ofthesafetj or permanence of our free mstitu tions. It is also most lortunate lor tne coun try, that our public affairs are under the direc tion of an individual, peculiarly qualified by his early and inflexible devotion to Republican Drincinfts. and bv that moral courage which distinguishes him from all others, to carry the nation triumphantly through the difficulties by which it is encompassed. Thoroughly con vinced that the stability and value of our con- 1 federated system, depend, under Providence, Oil it iuiwuui ctuuti cuce iu uiusu nippies, jl shall ever esteem it a sacred duty, to give them on all occasions my zealous support; and I would humbly hope that this motive, rather than any other, has led me to accept the nom ination you have tendered. Accept, gentlemen, for yourselves, my thanks for the kind manner in which you have com municated to me, the proceedings of the digni fied assembly over which you presided, and believe me, witn tne liveliest regard, your friend and obedient servant.
