Cincinnati, June 5th
1848.
My Dear Sir: A
long time has slipped by since I had the pleasure of hearing from you. I hope
you have not erased my name from your list of correspondents.
I send you an article of mine, which I think states some
important facts which ought to be much more generally known than they are. If
you agree with me in thinking its statements important, will you take the
trouble to get a place for it in the Boston Whig, with such a notice of it as will
attract particular attention to them.
Our Independent State Convention will we expect be largely
attended. Should the Whigs nominate Taylor or Scott we shall have probably a
preponderance of Whigs, but should they nominate any other free state Candidate,
not a military man, the majority will probably be democrats. I think the
Country would go unanimously for M'Lean, but unanimously, for no other man.
The action of the New York Democracy is manful and noble. I
hope for much good from it.
Very truly your
friend,
[SALMON P. CHASE.]
