Against my inclination, but infuenced by the urgency of ‘friends whose kind winhes have gratefully impressed me, I find there is no other course left for me to pursue than to acquiesce in the wiil of the Convention, In again becoming your candidate I have no new theories to propound; all my public acts are matters ot record, My opinions in regard to State affairs are too well understood to make it necessary for me to refer to them on this occasion. In referonce to national affairs I would say that I am in favor of a judicious tariff for revenue, and opposed to a protective tari for the sake of protection, Iam in favor of the pay- mont of both national and State debts, and to the utmost farthing, and of ly reaumption of specie pay- ments, ‘which will settle the whole dificulty as to the Kind ‘of currency they shall be paid in, I am now, as [have Leen ‘since the war ehded, ia favor of the restoration of ailthe States in the Union to all their rights aud privileges under the constitution, especially the right of representation in Congress. Until this Is done there cannot be peace or prosperity. In conclusion I would say, in tho language of the free- man’s oath, when called upon to discharge auy publie duty, 1 do {tin such @ manner as, in my opinion, will ¢ 10 the beat good of thin State ‘and of the Unite without the fear or favor of any man. io ‘Thanking you ag ud again for this renewed evidence of your continued confidence and regard, I am, your most humble and obedient servant, JAMES BE.
