Oct 27th, 1855 My dear Sir, I have been absent from home for sometime in attendance on one of my foreign courts; & have therefore been compelled to delay my reply to your letter. I am satisfied that you are right in regard to the policy which should be pursued by the opponents of the present administration in the next campaign --- the nomination should be made by the Whigs & seconded by the American party --- I did all I could to impress the importance of that policy on the opposition party in Virginia last winter, but without success --- if my counsel had prevailed there would have been no difficulty in defeating Wise but unfortunately the American party was comprised of young ambitious Whigs and dissatisfied democrats who worked to set aside the old leaders of the Whig party & to monopolize all the officers & jurors of the state. With this view they repudiated & announced, the Whig party (thinking they were strong enough to do without them) & put them on the same �[Page 2] footing with foreigners as to ineligibility to office. The natural affect was to alienate the Whigs from the American ticket & to drive many into the democratic ranks, whilst others remained neutral. It is now a matter of notoriety that Wise was elected by Whig votes --He stumped the whole state making all sorts of misrepresentations of the principles and purposes of the American party, & in consequence of the ridiculous rule in regard to secrecy, there was no one to reply to him. If a Whig had been in the field, he could have made the issues on the misdeeds of the democracy, & by quoting Wise’s own speeches from 1837 to ’41, he could have overwhelmed the “fearless tribune” with confusion. The Americans now see & deplore their folly. The only difficulty in the way of accomplishing the result we all have in view --- the defeat/result of the democracy --- is, in bringing about a cordial co-operation of the elements of opposition. The espirit de corps of the different parties is so great, that it �[Page 3] is difficult to get them to coalesce as long as they fight under different banners --- my view was to endeavor to raise a new flag, under which a great Constitutional Union party, comprised of the conservative Whigs, the national democrats, & the Americans, could cordially come together, without any sacrifice of principle. It is a difficult thing to get Whigs to assume the names of democrats, or democrats to take that of Whigs, or either to become Americans or vice versa. By taking a new name, a name descriptive of the objects of the party, & comprehensive enough to embrace conservative men of all parties, all can come in without any sacrifice of pride or old prejudices, & act together in harmony. The great & cherished objects of the Whigs, the Hard-Shell Democrats, & the Americans, are the preservation of the Constitution as it is & the Union as it is. What objection could either of these parties then have to a union under the Common name of Constitutional Union men? If they expect to succeed, they must unite in some way --will they not be more likely to unite under a common name �[Page 4] and a common organization, then under their distinct names, & organizations? How can you bring these separate conventions to act together, or how can you bring three separate parties into one convention? Here lies the difficulty. If the Whigs make the nominations, what assurances have we that the American party, or the National democrats will adopt their nominations? They will complain that they were not committed, & had no voice in the matter I fear. From that the result will be as it has been in Virginia. If we could get the National Intelligencer to lead off in favor of a great Constitutional Union party, I believe we could rally to its support all the conservatives of the country. Bernard Winthrop & all men of that stamp would soon fall in, & I believe the Americans would promptly follow --- as would Dickinson & Co of N.Y. A common opposition to democracy would be a common bond of union --- Without something of the kind, the opposition will be split up, & the democrats will carry the day by a plurality of votes.

Oct. 24, 1870 Thank you for your sympathy my old friend. I am far from thinking that, when men occupying particular positions in the public mind are taken away, the world suffers any great loss. I am persuaded that they have done their work, and that other men are better fitted for the new circumstances of the world than they were. For myself, I look upon the work which I had to do as nearly done. It would have been a gratification to me to have finished the currency according to my own ideas; but very likely the ideas of others are better. I refer particularly to the restoration of specie payments and to the declaration as constitutional law that Congress has no power to make anything else than gold and silver a legal tender in payment of debts. Whether I shall live to see this or the reverse is for the Divine Wisdom to determine. I shall not be at Washington during �[Page 2] the adjourned term, and perhaps not during the regular term which follows: though I am slowly regaining my strength so far as I can see. I desire to commit the future in this respect as in all other to Him who has graciously cared for me. Yours very truly, S.P. Chase N. Sargent Esq.
