If these precursafy symp toms are not speedily, alleviated, spasmodic con vulsions universally supervene, and. soon cause the dissolution; of the infant.

Norfolk, August 23, 1340. • Sin: Your letter of ycsterdaywilis’handed me when it was too.late for roe to reply to it by the Servant iVho borc.it., After the vory explicit and ditch repealed'declarations, made by me to'the committee of which you were a member, that I would not fake any part in ,the,ferocious contest now raging throughout the country, further than by giving my vote? oh the day <if election, I did not expect to be called upon again to abandon this purpose, especially by one of the members of that committee. You misunderstand the reasons which im|uccd me to form this resolution, if you suppose it can'be changed pither by re peating to' methp unmerited commendations oFtoo partial; friends, or the infampus nnd malignant falßehhnds of thoshwliofdeapise too much to call thein foes. : r . ■ • I have , ho reason to believe that I could influence rosinglevote, anywhere, if 1 would;, and I am, very sure that I would hot if I could. My opinions upon any subject, when regarded as of sufficient cdnscquchceto; be sought.fdr by any of my acquaintance, have never been withheld from them; nor will they pverberCunccalcdfromanyone.Thes"e opinions, in regard to the respective merits of the two candidates for the Presidential office, were given to ; the. members of your committee,, when asked for by them, as they had been'before given.to several other per isohsi bFßoih parties, and as they, hpve beeh repealed to such persons, since. 1 obtrude them upon hone, but I am as indifferent who may know them hslatn by whoriV.theylmay be approved.

I do notremember a sxngUsubjtctinvolving any question q/CONSTITUTIONAL law," OR OV HI,GHTOLITICAL EXPEDIEN CY, AS TO WHICH WE EVER CON% CURBED, And on (he few occasions in which I differed., with ; Mr. Van Buren, he was associated with General Harrison. — Hence, it.cannqtbe matter of surprise to any,' -that-whcn plnccd in a “situation am — to choose between two persons, witlf'ncithcr of whom do I agree entirely, I should prefer him with whom l Imvcf often united both in opinion and action, to him with whom I have INVARIABLY, differed. : ■I slnte these things, (hat knowing tlie effect which is sometimes produced upon human minds' by frequent and long continued con flicts of opinion upon'subjects of much in- derests, you may appreciate asyou please the sentiment T have often uttered and will therefore, again repeat, that, IN MY JUDG MENT, GEN’L. HARRISON IS BOTH PHYSICALLY AND. INTELLECTU ; ALLY INCOMPETENT TO PERFORM , TIIE MANY, VARIED. ARDUOUS At.!) IMPORTANT DUTIES W HIGH MUST DEVOLVE UPON EVERY PRESI DENT OF TUB UNITED STATBfe-rr, •, that it-is not prudent to expose our country '' ; to the certain. perils which-must await’ it,/ should its destinies ever he committee/to a President by accident, in times pf’dilficulty and high .cxcifement; and that such n catas trophe is always probable, when one. is ele vated to the Presidential chair-who lias al ready reached the full .term ordinarily con sidered, as the limit of man’s life., ■ To a.kind letter from friends in a distant State, inquiring what were my .opinions of. Mr. Van Buren’s administration, I have re cently replied. A copy of,this reply is now before me; and as.it truly represents my ’ sentiments upon this.subjoct.l will transcribe tny answer to the inquiry propounded. “I was opposed to Mr. Van Boren when he was first a-candidate lor the Vico Presidential chair, and jny opposition to him was contin ued when he was afterwards a candidate foV the station he now holds. Upon each of these occasions, there were other candidates ■; who, as I thought, agreed with my opinions more exactly, and who, therefore, I prefered. .Entertaining such sentiments, Ihavctoatehcd his course,'since hfi came into pother with a vigilance that might nol_perhaps have been used by me under other circumstances. Yet, wilh all this.vigilance, I have NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT A SINGLE UN CONSTITUTIONAL ACT THAT HAS BEEN DONE OR PROPOSED BY HIM, DURING HIS ADMINiSTRATION.— This is not a slight merit, at least in my. eyes, and when I connect with’it that the while scheme of his policy, in regard lo all our re latione, whether foreign or, domestic, has e vinccd much sagacity,"’prudence,, and for bearance, and this, too, under circumstances .ofgreat'difficulty;.l cannot withuld my. ap probation from fiuch a course. “These are.tiot the senliments’of one who has any claim, or even pretension, to life con sidered as a friend of the present President. They are the result of a careful examination into all his public acts,'since hp has occupied his present station; —an.examination mado with as much candor' and impartiality a» I could command. This examination was commenced, I own, with no expectation.that it would end in'such a result. —'"But it has so terminated; and'ctmimon justice, as iyelltfs common honesty, compels me to award' him a meed, in my judgment,.-he has so well de served. ■ The support he has-thus fairly earned, 1 will willingly give him, so long as he shall'continue tb merit it.. Nor will I ever concur in the attempt to remove- any tried servant, who, as 1 tllink, has. deserved well of his country.” ■ ... And now, sir, having-satisfied all your in quiries, to the end that I may not be com pelled to’undergo the same’labor Again, I commit this letter to;you, to be used .as you may think, proper.
