. - r .' UjuJLiiP convention lately assembled in Richv mond, as an elector, at the ensuing election, , in favor of the distinguished citizen whom they designate as president of the United States. Tor reasons, which I hope will be satisfactory to you, to ihe members of that - body, and to my fellow citizens generally, and "which I will frankly communicate, I consider 1 it a duty to decline the ttust in question. After the long and laborious service In vrhich I have been engaged, in the most difficult conjunctures to which our country has
been exposed, it is my earnest desire to cherish tranquility in my retirement. Important as this object is lo me, I am satisfied, if I become a party to elections, to the high office of chief magistrate of the United States, that I cannot accomplish it. In the pending election, I have motives of a personal natutc, which would make it particularly painful lo me to interpose. Having held, in the office Irom which I lately retired, a very friendly relation with both the candidates, and given to each strong proofs of confidence and regard, it would be very repugnant to my feelings to take the part of cither against the other. Other considerations drew my attention at an early period, to this subject, and confirmed me in this decision. As a permanent rule, I was led to conclude that it would be better for our country, and contribute more to the success of our excellent system of government, that those who have held the office of chief magistrate, should abstain, in their retirement, from becoming partisans in subsequent elections to that oHice. Instances mayoccur in the course of time, and in the vicissitude of human affairs, in which the opinion of those who have had long experience, may be useful. Every government that has existed, has been exposed to trying emergencies. All those which were strictly republican, have been subverted. Ours vill, I trust, experience a different fate. Should an emergency ol any kind, ever occur, it may be important that there should be, among the people, some men unconnected with either of the contending parties, and among them, those who have retired fiom that high olhce, whose voice might be hcatd. To render service, they mustenjov in like degree, the con
fidence of the whoic. community in their disinterestedness and impai tiality. If they cmbat k as partisans on either side, they would have no weight with the other. Iiy remaining neutral, it might be otherwise. On full consideration, before my retirement, I concluded that the course suggested, would be best adapted to my own peace and tranquility, and contribute most, as a permanent tide, to the welfare of my country. Under this conviction, I then formed the decision stated, have frequently der.larcd it since, and
cannot depart from it. With great respect, I am your obedient servant, JAMES MONROE. 1 T. Ruooke, Evq Prs'dt. kc. A 1) .1 (J. VIS 77v 770.V MEE TlXG. SA.I.KM, March 3.

Jackson ought not to be president. It is, that on his late visit to New Orleans, he went to two parties which were given by Mechanics one by a BiucR-T.AYEu, and the oihcr by a timber mkrchant. He visited them both, and, according to the rules of good society," verymuch demeaned, & disgraced himself there by. Trenton K up. The senate of Maine have passed resolutions, declaring that the sovereignty of the state lias been repeatedly violated by the agents and officers of the British colony of New Biunswick that they have wantonly Sc injuriously haiasscd the citizens ol Maine, on her northeastern boundary, assuming jurisdiction over them, issuing civil and criminal process against them, seizing and imprisoning some, and compelling others to perform military duty ; that the general government ought to interpose for the immediate release of John Baker, now confined in the British prison at Frcdcrickton, and for the defence and protection of Maine against foreign aggression, and that if they fail to do so, the governor be authorized to use all proper and constitu'i .nal means to protect and defend the ciiirns of the state in the enjoyment of their t ights. It is thought that the house will decidedly concur in the resoluti
ons. In the correspondence of gov Lincoln with the pi evident, it is said that the qucsti on of btate lights was discussed with animation. Bait. Gaz Petrifactions. h is said that in the year 1460, a ship with its anchois, broken masts, and forty mariners, with their merchandize, were found in a mine fifty feet deep, in the neighborhood of Berne, in Switzerland.
