From the Lafayette Republican.
Tor Of The Republican.

ONFoRD NIL, May 22nd, 1871.
Some days before left Washington City, in
March last, authentic information reached me that
the Democratic Convention. which assembled in
Jackson during the past winter had unanimously
nominated me as candidate for The Twenty sew
enth Congress. lnasmuch as | had previous to
that time. expressed my determination, very gen.
orally, TO withdraw from public life aud return to
The practice OF my profession, this nomination
was 10 me quite unexpected; and such was the in
suspicious condition OF my private affairs at that
time, that had an immediate reply been given to
this flalterng testimonial OF esteem and conf
dence Of too partial friends, sense of duty to my
family would have constrained me 10 have dec.
ned another canvass.
But the people oil Mississippi have claims upon
my services, which no exCTtlon or sacrifice of
mine can ever discharge .-Nhen was u siran,
ger in the land, young and inexperienced, without,
family connexion, and without influential friends
they took me up for the office of Attorney. Gene.
raj, and both parties sustained me with a unanmi.
~ which far exceeded my most sangnine expecta'
lions. After that, without any solicitation On my
part, whout-my knowledge or c-nsent, at a time
WHICH was eohS'uo'eu a Sieat potllSui Clisto VI
our State, Democratic Convention, remarkable
for number, talent, and personal weight OF charac.
ter, met IN jackson snd unanimously selected me
as one Of their candidates for Congress. The
people Of Mississippi stamped upon that nomlna'
ton the seal Of appreciation. The duties of that
station have been performed and my course and
conduct are before The people. All has not been
done that could have been desired, but Oh has
