I own that I am desirous still to enjoy the privilege of co-operating in this noble work, which, however, it will be impossible lor Die to do to any advantage, whatever may be the result of the present canvass, if I am now drawn into the vortex of a strenuously contested election. There are many parts ot the country which I have not yet tisited. I had promised myself a rich harvest from (he patriotic liberality of the States on the Gull of Mexico, and of those on the Mis sissippi river, (which I have not yet been able to visit, with the exception of Missou ri, though often kindly invited,) and I con less that it is very painful to me lo with draw from that broad field ot congenial la bor to (read the thorny and thankless paths rf politics. . Apart from the pecuniary aspects of the case, which, however, are of considerable importance, I will candidly say, that in hol ding up to the admiring veneration of the American people the peerless name of Washington, (almost the only bond of fra ternal sentiment which the bitterness of our sectional controversies has left us), I feel as if I was djinij more good, as far as I am I able to do any good, and contributing' more i to revive the kindly feeling which one ex isted between the North end South, and which is now, I grieve to say nearly extinct, than I could possibly do by engaging in the wretched scramble for office which is one great source of the dangers that threaten the country. These.considerations, and others of a still mre personal nature, have necessarily oc- casioned me to reflect Ions and anxiously i . ... . j before accepting the nomination with which j the- Unio'i Convention has honercd me. In 'ding a', length to the earnest solicita is which have been addressed to me, cnrs it to resign tin: di;inf;iii!.id place which I then filled in ti e public service, it wa. u i'h no expectation, no wish and no iiitiii'ion of ever ngnin mingling in the scent s of public life.

The suggestion that the Union caa be mair tained by the numerical predominance a&! military prowess of one section, exerted to coerce the other into submission is, JsVffiy judgement, as self-contradictory as it U dangerous. It comes loaded with thesdeath groans from fields wet with brothers' blood. If the vital principle of all republican .gov ernment is "the consent of the gevcrneJ,' much more does a uuion of co-equal sover eign States require, as its basis, the harmo ny of its members and their voluntary co operation in its organio functions. Believing, for these reasons, that healing councils cust be listened to, if we are muck longer to remain one people; I regard th? late National Union Convection as a move ment in the right direction. I could wish that it had been earlier assembled, with less exclusive reference to official nominatio-.j and with a rave comprehensive represcn'.;- tion, hif possible, of.the conflicting intercuts of the country. On genecal principles and. in ordinary times 1 admit that, third parti 3 are objectionable, but in the existing stit of afTairs, if tLere is to be any escape frcrr. the present ill-omened conflict, it wcull seem lhat a commencement must i ba mac with such a meeting as lhat of tha 9th erd 10th at Baltimore.'

Dear Sir: It has become my agreeable duty, as the presiding officer of the Nation al Union Convention, which terminated its session last evening, to inform you that you have received the nomination of that body as its candidate for the office of Vice Pres ident of the United States.... . It would be far beyond my power to con vey an adequate impression of the intense ardor and enthusiasm with which the nom ination was made. Without the formality of a ballot, your name was on every lip, and was adopted with loud acclamations, coming from grateful and patriotic hearts. State after State vied with each other for the privilege of rendering to you its tribute of affectionate homage and admiration. The high estimate of your valuable rub lie services entertained by the whole coun try, and the universal gratitude excited by your voluntary efforts as a private citizen to imbue the minds of your countrymen with feelings of love and veneration for the character of Washington, and respect for his examples and teachings, were reflected by the Convention in a manner at once im pressive, appropriate ond gratifying. It was believed, moreover, that the asso ciation of your name with that of John Cell, as a candidate for the highest office in the gift of the nation, would of itself con titute an irresistible appeal to the patriotism, loy ally and national spirit of the whole Amer ican people . In this scsson of discord and dis'raotion we feel it (o be a paramount duly to make an earnest effort to revive sentimeuls of I . rmony and brotherhood between the dif ferent States and sections of our Union.. t . We were not ignorant of your cherished purpose to decline in future the cares and honors cf official station; yet we do not per mit ourselves to doubt that the same senti ment of patriotism which your voice and example have inspired in the hearts of oth ers will prompt you lo yield to the call now made upon you by a large aud respectable portion of your countrymen. I have the honor to be, with high respect, your obedient servant, WASHINGTON HUNT. To the Hon. Edward EvtaxTi. MR. EVERETT TO HON. WASH! KOTOS HOST. BosTos.Msy 29, I860. Mt Deab Sia: I hava duly received and prcciou- memory which are left almost alone of all the numerous . kindly associa tions which once bcund the different sec tions of the country together; and also, be cause between the extremes of opinion that have long distracted and now threaten .to convulse the country, I find no middle ground of practical usefulness on which a friend of moderate counsels can stand." It having been suggested to me, not withstanding these avowals, that I might be thought of, at (he . Union Convention, as a candidate for the Presidency. I requested by telegraphio message and by letter, that my name, if brought forward, might be withdrawn. It is true that in these com munications I had only in view a nomina tion to the Presidency, none other have been suggested to me; but all the reasons above indicated, which led me madvance to decline such a nomination, apply with equal force to the ice 1 residency, these, reasons, of course, still exist in uuimpared force, and I cannot now take an active part in politics without abandoning a deliberately formed purpose, and even exposing myself to the suspicion of insincerity in its persistent avowal. Without dwelling upon these considera tions, of which, however, I am sure the weight will be admitted, I beg leave to ad vert for a moment to my connection with the movement lor the purchase of Mount Vernon, to which you allude in such ob liging terms. The favor which has attend ed my exertions in that cause, (if I may without indelicasy say anything on that sub ject ) has been the result of my known and recogiiizrd disconnection from party poli lies. If it could have been even plausibly insinuated that I was, or intended (o become a candidate "for high political honors, I should, in my various excursions in aid of lhat fund, have laid myself open to the im putation of speaking one word for Mount Vernon and two for myself. As it is, the people throughout the Union have gener ously given me credit for -having a single eye to that roeritorioas object. As far as the purchase, af "TJpuot Vernon is concerned, lhat object has been effected, under the judicious and efficient manage ment of the Regent and Vice-Regents of the Association, with the aid of their active and intelligent assistants throughout the Union. ... . But a sum of money equal to that already raised is still wauling for the repa;r of the mansion, the enclosure of the land pur chased, the restoration of the 'hotye and grounds, as far as practicable, to their con- No other course was thought of in tb earlier days of the republic.

Our political controversies have sub stantially assumed almost sectional charac ter that of a fearful struggle between the North and the South. It would not be dif ficult to show at length the perilous nature and tendency of this struggle, but I can on ly say, on this occasion, lhat, in my opinion it cannot be much longer kept up without rending Ihe Union. I do not mean that ei ther of the great parties in the country de-. sires or aims at a separation of ihe States as a filial object, although there are extre mists in considerable numbers who have that object in view. While a potent and a banc! ul influence is exercised by men of this class in both sections of the Union, a portion of the conservative masses are in sensibly and gradually goaded into concur rence with opinions and sentiments with which, in file outset, they had no sympathy Meantime, almost wholly neglecting the main publio interests, or political contro versies turn more ?.nd more on questions in reference to which as abstract formula, the great sections of the country differ irrecon cilably, though there is nothing practically important at stake which requires the dis. cussion to be kept up. These controversies are carried on with steadily increasing bitterness and exaspera tion. The passions thus kindled have al ready led to acts cf violence and bloodshed, approching to civil war in the Territories and attempted servile insurrection iu the States. The great religious and philan thropic associations of the country are sun dered, and the kindly social relations of North and South seriously impaired. The national House of representatives, hover ing on the verpeof anarchy, requires weeks to effect the organization, which ought to be the work of an hour, and it holds ils sessions (many of its . members, I am told, armed with concealed weapons,) en the crust of a volcano. The candidates for the Presidency, representing respectively the dominant sectional ideas, will, at the ensu ing election, in all probability, be supported by a . purely geographical vote. In other words, we are already brought to a pass al which North and South cannot and will ndt co-operaOe rn the periodical reorganization of Ihe Government. Can such a state of things long continue, especially with the ever present risk of new causes of exasperation?
