On his return home Mr. Smiths friendsurged him to allow them to present his name to the Con-gressional convention as a candidate for member of Con-gress from the first Congressional district, assuring himthat he could have the nomination; but, though a nom-ination was equivalent to an election, the district beingstrongly Democratic, he declined, having decided to retireto private life, which is more in consonance with his do-mestic taste and disposition. Since 1854 he has enjoyedhis elegant home, Forest Hill, at Great Neck,untroubled by the jar and conflict of political strug-gles. 461. From Photograph by Kogarilii
