The Daily Dispatch: January 26, 1861., [Electronic resource], Citizens' State-rights ticket.-- Peachy R. Grattan , P. H. Aylett , Geo. W. Randolph . (search)
To Messrs. Palmer, Putney, Davenport, Richardson, Gardner, and others.--
Gentlemen:
Your letter inviting me to become a candidate for the Convention, to be held next month, has been read by me with feelings of great personal gratification.--The number of persons by whom it is subscribed is a pleasing evidence of the kind feelings which the people of Richmond have for me. Besides the persons who are subscribers to your letter, a great many have solicited me to be a candidate for the Convention, and I cordially make my acknowledgments for such a manifestation of confidence.
The position which you propose to assign me is one of the gravest and most fearful responsibility; and as you think I may be of service in the deliberations of the State, you are welcome to use my name as a candidate for the Convention.
It is proper, however, that I should communicate to you my position, as I do not wish any one to vote for me or against me under a false impression.
