MESSRS Ed TOKS:-
GENTLEMEN: | presume
by communication in the last number
OF your paper, that many voters Of both
parties are anxious for me to become
candidate to represent the county of
Pamela IN the coming session Of the le-
gislature, and request me to say
through the columns of the Lynx
whether will run or not
The repeated solicitations which |
have received from SO numerous and
respectable source, as we'll privately,
as thus publicly through the columns of
your paper, and coming too, am graf
flied TO say, from both PARTIES, are
grateful indeed to my feelings and far
bid that | should remain silent.
Although The peace and quictude of
private pursuits, rendered indeed ne
cessary by circumstances over which
/ have bat partial control, have ever
been more congenial to my feelings,
than the stri c, turmoil and anxieties
of public life. Yet would not with
hold my humble services when, and in
whatever capacity, my fellow citizens
might, in their partiali,ysdeem them
useful to the public.
Influenced, therefore. by the gener-
al and Gathering manifestations of pub
lie sentiment as thus indicated without
distinction of party, | should at once
Weld my name as a candidate without
further hesitation, but for proposed
convention of the voters Of Pamela
county TO meet at this place on the 9th
INST for the purpose Of obtaining a still
more full and complete sense Of the pop.
uIar will from the various parts of the
county in regard 20 the nomination OF
a candidate.
If that convention, embodying just
! g. fair represe ntation of the voice Of the
county, shall select candidate more
worthy than myself (of which there
are many,) 10 represent the county in
the lower branch Of the next Legisla
ure, none will acquiesce more cheer
fnlly than myself.
1t does not at any time compori with
the stric'est sense of propriety for q
candidate to urge his own claims before
The public, or to become the trumpet.
er OF his own fame, a proper sense o.
delicacy forbids it, and especially would
il be highly indicate to do so in the
present attit ude of things.
Though not partisan, have eve r
acted and voted, on leading politica
questions, with that party which call
themselves wings. But il is Of little
consequence in the present position o
affairs, to what political party or creed
the representative Of Pamela county
may belong. Neither party car. gail
or loose any thing by having one rep
| feSentauVe more or less III the coming
Legislature. There are other ques
tons for legislation, than these of a polit
ical cast--questions of deep and abidin.
interest to the people of North Missis
sippi-in general and especially to Pa
nola and these other counties, adjacent
to the Tallahatchie river; and be tha
would make this, that, or the o;he
political creed sine qua non of legis
lalor in the present state Of things
would mol be likely TO say the least o
it, to give that undivided attention t
these and local subjects of Legislation
which their importance demands.
If | bee ONE candidate, which is We
involved in MISUNDERSTANDING OF
circumstances yet TO transpirc, it will b,
my business 10 make known TO my Eel
