To the Citizens or Gieard akd Erik County, Penn'a. Your letter, rtonosing to run me for Congress, is received. I would indeed be insensible to the commonest impulses of humanity were I not filled with the warmest sentimentol tratitude for the friendly expressions and personal re. gard that your letter coutains, signed as it is by Republicans and Democrats, whom I know to be staunch supporters of the Government, and many who have risked their lives for the preservation of" the Union. Such distinguished con sideration overcomes every oatural ob jection I may hav for political honors, consequently I do accept of your kind invitation to allow my name to be used, but with the understanding that I am not to be the standard-bearer of either political party (Republicans or Demo crats) but if nominated it must be by a People's Convention, as I belong to the people. They are my friends and pa. trons, and io justice to them. coraDosed os they are of all shades of political opinions, I must continue to live in their esteem, and labor to promote their hap. incss ana interests which has been the tight of my ambition for tweoty.five years.
