I have, th a ri fore, not deemed it improper to take this tw o'. • r of saving to the Convention. that reasons g owing out of the situation me private slid pro It ! , ..

That there ate many such, I am happy and proud to know. I will not pretend to disguise that in dissolving the relation which has cabals tad between UR, my senailnlities are polverfully a w a kened. Pride. regret, pain, pleasure, gran.. Ind , . are all awakened into action. blending in strange but, not discordant unison. I have of wave felt proud of my eimetitueney, however sensible of Inv own dent iencies us their rept-tie., Wive. If patriotiem. public spirit. intelligence, m dente, industry, Ittiowlealge, a devoted atta.:ll went and adhei rivet , to correct political principles, ca • elevate . 4 pe tide above the orilioary etitedarits. then well may any men be proud to he honored with your choice. I repeat, then, that in termi nating the; relation, my sensibilities are power fully and deeply awaken. J. How I have acquit ted myself of the trust confided to me, is not fur me to say, hut for you to judge. I may however, be pardoned for saying, on this final occasion. that it has ever been my endeavour faithfully to repre..ent ynur interests to the hest of my ability. I may have mistaken, buil have never neglected them. Looking upon myself as the represents• five of the people and not of sporty, I have never. in my official or personal intercouree with my con• elituents, tecogaized any such narrow distinction. Peeetrated with gratitude for the evidences I have had of the COTIfideIICO of my constituents, and proud to know that it remains undiminished to the last. I new take my leave, requesting that my name. if presented to 'hit Convention, may be Withdrawn. and asking of the Convention, to in. emainrate. this letter with their proceedings. And here. perhaps, I ought to stop. A -deep esnire,however,of the momenttut issues that hang on the result of the approaching Gubernatorial election, prompts me to add a few remarks, which I hope will tint he regarded as nut of season. It is my II I.4nr oiveviction. that a greater curse • could not be visited upon the people of Peniesyl 'Sante. than would halal them by the re election Of David R Porter as Governor for the neat 1 three y.eee.
