Two things seemed to deter him from receiving my advice.  In the first place he saw on the title page, that I, after having been eighteen years Roman Catholic Priest, appeared in public for the abolition of all kinds of Popery.  He may have been afraid to scare Roman Catholics from voting for him, if he would be in any connexion with me.  I found not proper to explain, that what I intended to publish in behalf of his election, would not scare but strengthen Roman Catholics to vote for him, but would scare many Republicans and Abolitionists to vote for their candidates and would draw them to him.  In the second place he seemed to have been in the same opinion in which I found Democratic editors of newspapers, who told me expressly that they were certain, that their candidate would be Governor.  When I found him not ready to study my document on Sunday instead of going into his sectarian church, I did not show him the writing of the champion who was determined to act under the above mentioned condition for Judge Parker’s election, but I reported directly to that champion that which happened at my trial of Judge Parker’s spirits and I started straightways for the States of New England.
