Mn. EDITOR.

Mr.. EDrfoR,
/ herewith enclose to you two letters which
have been addressed to me by number of the
citizens of this County, requesting me to be-
come a candidate for seat in the Lower House
of the next General Assembly of Indiana.
Permit me through the columns of your
Journal, to tender my thanks to those Of my
fellow citizens, who have so kindly addressed
me. For myself, have no ambition to lie a
partaker in the political contests of the day. /
have devoted myself to the discharge of the du-
ties ofanother, and entirely different sphere of
action. But, while would be content to be
left in the uninterrupted discharge Of those du-
ties, feel that there are other obligations of a
high and paramount nature, which no citizen is
at liberty to disregard when called on to as
sumo them. To serve the people in the capa-
city of legislator is one--and not the least inn
portant-of these. obligations. Called on as /
have been by many of my fellow citizens, whose
good opinion highly value, and whom am
anxious to oblige, do not feel at liberty to de-
cline the invitation. Should this, my first APP
pearance before the people as candidate, be
conducted to an issue favorable to myself, the
result will be altogether attributable to the
kind partiality of my friends.
Renewing my thanks for the polite and kind
invitation which has been given to me,
remain Your obed't serv't,
JAMES L. BLYTHE.
