Neverth ess, I assure you that, whatever
may have . •en my aspirations at other peri
ods of my I fe, I have ho desire to re-occupy
that niost e evated public station. I have al
ready, by c partiality of my countrymen,
partaken va ry largely of the enjoyments of
public life, whilst I have not I.bn:tell its la
bors, or b• n exempt from its ingnietudes.--
The favors and hours which have been pro.
fusel! best. wed on me; by the Democracy of
the Union, are, and I trust will ever be, pres
ent to my ind and gratefully inpressed on
my heart. Every day more and more confirm
ed in the ..undness of the political opinions
to which Ihave adhered, conscious of baying
always done my duty to the people to the
best of my ability, haying' no heartburnings
tote silayedotnd no resentments to be grati
fied by e restoration In power, and finding my
present position entirely adapted to my taste
and disposition, I am.sincerely'and heartily
disposed to wearthe honors and enjoyments of
private life uninterruptedly to the end.
If, therefore, the support which you, with
whom I have not oven the pleasure of a per
sonal acquaintance, have su frankly and lion
grittily tendered me, inluded that not only of
theinflexible and victorious Democracy of
your CongreSsiOnal district, but also of the
Democratic party throughout the Union, and
the conseqUent assurance of success, I could
not, consulting only my own feelings and
wishes, hesitate, respectfully and gratefully,
but decidedly to . decline it. That any state
of things will hereafter exist in which the in
dulgence of thy own preferences would, in the
opinion of true and faithful friends, conflict
witkiny duty to the political party to which
my' whole life has been 41svoted, and to which
Tome aiiyliersonal sacrifice, is in the least de-•
gree improbable. .. .‘
I - appreciate and honor your anxious desire
tb gee the integrity and firmness of the Dem
ocratic party of the' Union fully vindicated.
As far as 'the temperate but steady action of
one who is, by his position and a just übser-'
Vance of its proapeties, debarred froni v active
participation in , partizan contlicts, can aid in
restoting its former . etliciency, in kindling its
waning zeal, and in preserving the high and
pure character for Which it has been long and
rightly distinguished, you may confidently re

izette among us who are made candidates for
the presidency. - Should the capital of the
Union, during the approachingsession of
Congrese,become the rallying point of their
loniser's, and nut only their attention, but
the time and attention of those w o are charg
ed with the directiun of public a ire, be devo
tedi to, president making instea f their ap
propriate duties, we shallhave little to hope
in this regard.
But if mere political schemes and intrigues,
however" cunningly devised, and however
profitable they may have heretofore appeared
shall in the present emergency give place to
the unceasing and vigorons - elEn'ts of all to
preserve and protect the bleeding interestil,
and !periled honor of our country—etlints
wnich 'can alone attract the confidence and
support of the Democratic inlsset--the re
sult wiil prove far nitre auspicious.
Scarcely ever has the essential welfare of
the country been in a more critical condition
or its ndthittistration in ~ g reater need of the
energetic support of those who raised it to
power. 'With a probable majority against it
io the popular branch of the National Legis
lame, and but a small, and it is to be regret
ted; not a 'very harmonious majority in its fa
vor, in the Sennte, it may be milled upon to
vindicate the past, and will be obliged to sup
port, possibly, for an indefinite period, a dis
teat and difficult foreign war. The existence
of that - war has received the official sanction
of every department of the Government whiCh
is required by the Constitution, and it. is due
loth° future fame, as well as the present
urooperity of this,great nation, that is he tri
niphantly sustained. Whatever may here
after be the propriety of instituting inquiries
into the necessity of its occnrrence with a
'jowl° the just responsibility to public opin
ion ac'oer public servants, such an investiga
tion may, at this time, and under existing cir
cuinstaticee, as well as upon principles of
sound political morality, as of national expe
diency, be well regarded as out of season.—
The war cannot now be concluded with him
or,.unless we receive from hi...ixico a just in

'irritate of ourega)lant army, who have, by

compelled the admiration of the world, cannot
be brow ht,home—without impeachment of the

or es of the heroic dead shielded from the re
&Oen of having Itacrificed their lives in a
worse thou, useless contest.
4hese,sulemn duties must . be performed, it
is be feared, with perhaps a few honorable
exaTtions,i without the proper aid of an op
liiesition, nutnbering in its rankemany gentle
men of great talents who have bad an unusu

Walker, consisting of 250 men, and that of

which was the total expoiston of the enemy
from the town, and its occupation by our va:-

6 men.
But . the.ga!lant ,Walker, after performing
prodigies of valor and feats of the most a w ing
character, fell iu single combat, pierced by
the spear of an enraged father, who, goaded
to actual piarensyby the.deatlt of his son,
whose fall beneath the atm of Captain', Wal
ker he had just witnessed, rushed forward,
heedless of-all danger, to avenge his death,
and attacking the captain with almost irre
sistible violence, plunged his spear into his
body, and slew him almost instantly.
The Mexicans lost two hundred men and
three pieces:of artillery, ' The latter were
thrown into a gulloy in the town by the vie

were dispatched to Hournantla—evactiated
