To tut Citizens o Gi&ard Att
Erik Coustt, Piusj'a.
Your letter, ptoposing to run me for
Congress, is received. I would indeed
be tosensib'e to the commonest imeulses
of humanity were I not filled with the
warmest sentiraentof gratitude for the
friendly expressions and personal re.
gard that your letter eootains. signed as
it is by Republicans and Democrats.
bom I know to be staunch supporters
of the Government, and many who have
risked their live for the preservation
of the Union Such distinguished con
sideration overcomes every natural ob
jection I may have for political honors.
consequently I do accept of your kind
invitation to allow my name to be used,
but with the understanding that T am
not to be the standard bearer of either
political party (Republicans or Demo
crats) but if nominated it roust be by a
People's Convention, as I belomr to the
people. They are mv friends and pa.
trons, and in justice to them, composed
as they are of all sha les of political
opinions, I must continuo to live in their
esteem, and labor to prom t their hap.
iiioesi nij interests wnicn nis neen tie
height of my ambition for twenty five
years. Respectfully. Yours.
