MY DEAR SIR: —-Through the kindness of some of my friends my name has been suggested in connexion with others to be presented to the Convention on the 25th int., when making its selection of a candi date for Governor. It has been a pleasure to me hitherto in political action, to feel that 1 cculd advo cate the simple rights of humanity, and what I conceived to be the true principles of political economy with unselfish freedom having no personal aspirations after either the honors or emoluments of office. I see no necessity to sacrifice this pri vate gratification on the altar of public duty on this occasion. There are many good men and true, I am happy in knowing, belongiug to that party which the C'onven tion represents, of more enlarged, exper ience, and whose nomination would carry with it a greater weight of popularity than my own. In combination with right politi cal principles, and unswerving integrity, BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. the Convention will uot over look personal I popularity as JB element of success iu tlio coming canvass. May I ask ypu, therefore, sboulil our delegation under its iustt uetions, i tbi rk proper to present my name at all to j tlit Convention, to withdraw it at <1 proper time, and to say to my friends that my | gratitude for their consideration will he demonstrated in the heartiness with which j I hope to support the nominee which the j Convention in its wisdom shall select.

That, ' as our Republican fathers abolished Slavery in j all the national territory, and ordained in the j Constitution that no person shall be deprived I 1 of lite, liberty or property, without due process j | ot" Uw, it becomes our duty to maintain this 1 j provision ot the Constitution against a'l :.t- j ' temp:3 to violate it. fer the purpose of est.ib- I ! linhiitg Slavery in the territories of the United !

Both ; parties were fully represented, and the pro- 1 ceedings were harmonious and lair. I)A --TIP IV ILMOI, of Bradford,, was noniiua- 1 ted, on the second ballot for Governor. He is a Republican. WILLIAM MILL, i A ARB, ot Puiladelphia, wus nominated j 'Or Canal Commissioner, He is an Auieri- j oan. J A.'lKc VEECII, of Fayette, aud JOSEPH J. LEWIS, of Chester, were nominated for Judges of the Supreme Court. Mr. Vcech is an American, and Mr. Lewis is a Republican. Thus it will | b* seen that the ticket is composed of oue i half Americans, and one half Republicans. Mr. Wiluiot was not our choice for Gover nor: we were hi favor of oue of our own talented aud eminent citizens, bur. since ev erything in tho convention was doue fairly, aud tho Americans are fully represented on the ticket, we, and believe the entire American party of Bedford county, will give it a hearty support. The opinion pre vails among tho American Republican par ty -ill over the State, that we will be able to elect the whole ticket th'-fc fall, and we now call on our friends throughout the county, to go to work, from this until toe election, diligently for the success of the cause. The Platform put forth by the Union Con veution is one on which ail Americans and Republicans can stand. All patriotic Ponnsylvanians condemn the late uuright couu decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, and the outrages which continue in Kansas at the instigation of the Federal Goverumeut, aud the sending of a bouthero fire-eater thero to crush out tho free sentiment of its people.

This is the philosophy d tbianoml— j nation; and the appointment of a Southern 1 ma:; as Governor 01 Kansas as the successor | of Cot. Geary, bids fair to add !uc! to tho ! flames of the anti-slavery excitement of the i North; and to make room for a future esp'.a , nation of ft iimot s election by the same kind j of political phiiosphy. Gen. Pierce's ew !

James Buchanan carried his own State by a small majority, and would not have carried it at ail but for the divisions among those whu opp'cxd him.
