A departure from these principles drovo mi, reluctantly, from political life; and in all sin cerity I assure you thai there is no political of fice, not even the Presidency, which cmil l tempt me again into politics, on principles op posed to those which I approve and on whieii I endeavor to act. Pledges when given by a candidate for pub lic furor should be received with suspicion, as they are generally made to answer a particular purpose, and are seldom redeemed. No or, perhaps, should be named for the Presidency whose opinions, 011 the leading topics of tin; day, are unknown to the public.

Who thought of asking a pledge im:, the venerated faihers of the republic aiuv named? A sound head and an honest heart, : think; are the best pledges. These will rareK fail, whilst experience shows that pledges art: made to be broken. NU one who is named for the Chief Magis tracy, from a respectable source, should Iei himself at liberty to say that he would deciiu:? a nomination for that office. But I beg you 1 believe, my dear sir, thai this remark is n.i prompted by a vanity which leads me tn sup pose, that my name could lie favorably consid ered by the coniemplaied Whig CniiYciiiiou. The friends of Mr. day, iii consideration of his eminent qualifications aiid long public- .ser vices, are locking with ilo ordinary solicitude to his nomination.

Indeed I should count it no honor, to have my name as sociated with the downward course of our Go vernment, and such a course is accelerated and only accelerated, by ultra partyism. To brin back ihe Government to its old foundations, restore its lost character, its former purity, 1 1. ergy and elevation, would be an achtevemt-M second only to that of Washington's.

The following sound sentiments from a letter of tjie 10th ult., will be read with interest : The office of President in my opinion, has been lowered, and also the character of the Country, at home and abroad, by the means used to secure that office. High as tho Pres idency of litis great nation is, it may be reach ed at too reat a price. it sinks below the S j ambition of an honorable mind, when it is at ' tainable only by a sacrifice of ihe loftiest pat 00 . riotism.
