MvDeah Sin: To you, as a personal and political friend,representingmy old Congress ional district, which has never deserted or be trayed mo, I desire now to mako a last re quest; and that js, that you present to the presiding officer of tho Convention for nomi nating candidates for President and Vice Pres ident, whenever you may deem It proper, tho enclosed letter withdrawing my namo .from tho consideration of that Convention. In determining what la a proper tlmo to comply with this request, you will consider only this cause in which wc hto engaged, and the reasonable claim which my friends may Ua»tJo.ttu(.use-o£iny.flajnc.fiir_Jls advance- legislativoilcpartment In perfecting anil adopt ing those hcalliig measures of compromise, hi which, upon their passage. I -felt bound, by every consideration of public duty, to give my official approval. These laws being en acted, my constitutional duty was equally plain to •“ take care that they were faithfully execute(I." But this I found the most pninfril of all my official duties. Nevertheless, I re solved to perform It, regardless, pf all conse quences to myself jl and. in doing so. I dctcr- mlnedto know no North and no South, and no friends hut those who sustained tho con stitution and laws, and no enemies* but thoto who opposed them. Tho gratifying result of this policy Is befbro you and tho country. The angry strife nfhleh for a tlmo threatened to army Stato against State, and brother against brother, and deluge our happy, land with fraternal blood, and des olate it with Orb amt sworn, has fortunately passed away, The surging billows of section al agitation nro calmed, and tho pnbllo mind is fast settling down Into Its accustomed chan nels, and will soon rcnow-lts wonted devotion to tho Constitution ami the Union. ’ Availing myself of this happy change, I bad determined, when tho present Congress met, to announce to the public, Ip triy annual mes sage my previous resolution not to suffer my name to come before the National Convention (hr a nomination. I accordingly prepared a paragraph to that edict,.but was Anally per suaded to strike It out, lest It might have on unfavorable influence upon tlie then pending ejection in Virginia. : After that had passed. 1 concluded to with draw my name by a published address to tho peoplo, and prepared ono accordingly; but thla coming to the knowledge of some of my friends, they represented to me that my.wlth- draw'al at that time would-not only endanger VERANDA HOUSE BY 8.

As I was unable to seo that the Intel estsoftho country or of tho Whig party wwo In dangor of being coinpromlscd by my decision, I .al lowed Mr. Fillmore’s namo to remain In the hands of his .friends to tho end, In the be lief' that such dovotion ns wan manifested by thorn called; tor the, saorlllco on his part of all considerations merely personal.

The first was on appeal ' to my patriotism, tho second to my graUtudq.

Dy tneirrtinjustr To consult ibnm is utterly Impraotlcablo. and to sutler' my namo to go into a contest for 'the.nomination |s contrary to my original Intention. and utterly repug nant tomyfeollngs. I havo. therefore, with out consultation with any one. toll justified In assuming tho responsibility, of authorizing and requesting Mr. Babcock; either before or af ter any vote may bo taken In tho Convention, and whenever he shall bo satisfied that I have aJ Hin now to enquire. But the duty which that Slate owes to horselfatid county, In my judg ment docs not end hero. It is Important that what has been acknowledged In theory, (whether from policy or choice,) shall bo per formed In practice. Our mission will bo but half fulfilled until that Isflono.. This Is tho grent end and object to which the Convention should look And its action should bo gov erned by no motive but a desire to purstio tho surest way and to adopt the best means it accomplishing that purposo. How cah the successfril maintenance of our principles bo best secured! Ought wc with this object In' view to support either of thd present nomi nees or should wo run an Independent ticket! Thcso are tho' practical questions. Besides what-1 havo said already, there are other considerations which present them selves, before deciding tho first of thcso ques tions.

As Representative and Speaker In the othdr Houso of Congress, as Senator In ■ this body, ns Secretary of State, and as Envoy abroad, he.has In all these positions exhibited a wis. dom and patriotism which have made a deep nnd lasting impression npon thd grateful hearts of tilscountrymen.

Mr. Clay, throughouthls public career, was Influenced by tho loftiest patriotism. Confi dent In tho truth of bis convictions and tho purity ofhis purposes, ho was ardent, some times Impetuous, In the pursuit of objects Which ho believed essontlsl to the general welfare. Those who stood in his way were thrown aside without tear or ceremony. He never affocted a courtier's deference to men or opinions which he thought hostile to tho best interests ofhis country; and hence he may havo wounded tho vanity of thoso who thought themselves of consequence. It Is certain, whatever the cause, that nt one peri od ofhis life Mr. Clay might havo been fo- ferred to as proof that there Is more troth than fiction In those profound lines of tho poet— ' »* '/.*’•/ "He who ascends tbo mountain (op shall find Its loftiest peaks most wrapt in clouds' anil snow; 1 .",ire^ Ho who ’suirnsscs or subdnes mankind Must lookdown on.tho lialeol those below, Thongh for above the sun of glory glow, • And for beneath tbo oarlh and ocean spread, Round bim are ley rocks, and loudly Mow Contending tempest* onhis naked head, 5 And thus reward the toils which to thoSa summits led." • ; Calumny ami detraction emptied tliclr vials upon him.
