Azariah Cutting Flagg to MVB, 12 November 1823

Yours of the 3d was not recd. until the 10th inst. and aiding to the bad regulation of the mails to this place, my letter will probably not reach you until the 18th or 20th: and you will be in possession of all the returns before that time. A federalist of the ald school is elected in Franklin. Mr. Winslow, a rep. is elected in St. Lawrence, unpledged. Maj. Linch, a rep. is elected without... Continue Reading

This selection was made with the greatest unanimity by the convention, and with perfect confidence,-a confidence fully justified by... Continue Reading

Azariah Cutting Flagg to MVB, 4 May 1844

The 5th and part of the 6th Chapters came to hand this morning, and I gave Smith one of the copies for you. The residue will be here by Pomeroy's Express this evening. Mr. Bockee has got up an address which as far as I can learn is unexceptionable. The committee of the assembly have not been equally successful yet in regard to the resolutions: The opponents of the Gov. are not ready to endorse... Continue Reading

Azariah Cutting Flagg to MVB, 26 May 1844

The enclosed were recd this morning. Mr. Wrights previous letter of the 22d said—“It is not my object to alarm you, but I begin to think it quite doubtful whether Mr. V.B. will be nominated. If the delegates had gone directly ^from their homes^ to Baltimore, I think a large majority would have been for him, but already the states of Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois are said, and I believe too...

MVB to Azariah Cutting Flagg, 1 April 1827

We have had a terrible blow here for the last two days which has prevented the Steam Boat for Savannah from leaving here & which will probably detain me until tomorrow. I have received here a letter from Genl Marcy to which I have written an answer which you have doubtless seen. If I could have anticipated that the folks at Washington would have made so decided a push at me & that they... Continue Reading

MVB to Azariah Cutting Flagg, 5 February 1828

I send you the list desired by Mr <Cambreleng>. Our friends at Albany have done themselves the highest honor and carried dismay into the administration camp. What think you of the impertinence of Gales. The <illegible> legislature he says have been smuggled into their seats. What will they say to that report? What will the people at large say to it. The poor devil is desperate but... Continue Reading

MVB to Azariah Cutting Flagg, 21 February 1828

I hope our friends will not be so foolish as to trust Peter. No honest intelligent man can certainly hope for his fidelity. So far from his certifying that he was in favour of Jackson being an inducement with me to vote for him I would rather do it if I would certify that he would never act with us again. I know him from top to bottom & know there are no sound timbers in wreck. Tell Marcy I... Continue Reading

MVB to Azariah Cutting Flagg, 31 March 1828

I send you the whole of Mr Wrights Speech. I hope our friends will immediately have it struck off & certainly circulated. This is the accepted time. Let the catastrophe follow instead of precede its appearance. Write me a long letter. I am struggling hard to get well but succeed but slowly. My best respects to Mrs. Flagg.

MVB to Azariah Cutting Flagg, 19 June 1828

I have spoken to Talcott & recd. for answer that neither he nor Mr Williams go to Plattsburgh but he requested that I should not mention his name as speaking in relation to Mr Williams going. My business here will unavoidably detain me until after the 24th.

MVB to Gulian Crommelin Verplanck, William Hogan, and Azariah Cutting Flagg, 26 September 1828

The confidence reposed by the convention in my willingness to sacrifice all personal consideration to the claims of the republican party upon my services, has not, as I humbly hope, been misplaced. Deeply sensible that I owe whatever of public consideration I may possess, to the favor of the republicans of New-York, and conscious of my inability to discharge the debt of gratitude that rests upon...

MVB to Azariah Cutting Flagg, 22 December 1826

What I write to you is so far only confidential that you may in your best discretion communicate it to some of our friends as you think necessary. Mr Wright will soon be with you as well as Keyes & Earl. From them & our immediate friends in Albany, Knower Marcy & Croswell you know I have no secrets. The strong impression previously made on the mind of Mr Adams & his Secretary ... Continue Reading
