Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter of Thomas W. Chinn: To Hon. Thomas Gibbs Morgan, President of the Whig Convention, of the Second Congressional District in the State of Louisiana, Convened at the Town of Baton Rouge, on the 20th of January, 1840 Dear Sir, - Your letter of January 22d, enclosing the proceedings of a Whig Convention, composed of Delegates from the Second Congressional District, assembled at the town of Baton Rouge, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for Congress, to receive the support of the Whig party at the ensuing election, and informing me that I was unanimously nominated for re-election, and that you were deputed to communicate the intelligence to me, and request my acceptance of the nomination, has been before me some time. Acknowledging, with pride and pleasure, this new mark of the kindness and confidence of my friends throughout the District, and deeply sensible of the honor thus conferred upon me, I most sincerely regret that considerations of duty to myself and my constituents, compel me to decline the nomination. Your letter found me on a bed of sickness, from which I have not yet entirely recovered. At this time, I am confined to my room, and unable to attend the sittings of the House of Representatives; and I am admonished from day to day, that the climate here is of such a character, as to unfit me for the faithful and efficient discharge of my public duties, and certainly to render it unsafe, as regards my future health, to remain any longer than is required by my already incurred obligations to you. However anxious I might otherwise be to continue in your service, I should be inexcusably wanting in that frankness and candor which, I trust, have always characterized my conduct, both public and private, were I not to apprise you of my deliberate conviction on this point; and, under the circumstances, I cannot but hope that my personal and political friends will not only excuse, but approve, the course which I have felt myself imperiously compelled to adopt.
