who, if elected, will firmly maintain and carry out the great political principles in troduced in the resolutions adopted by the Democratic National Convention in l544 - principles which it has been the earnest endeavor and constant aim of my admin istration to preserve and pursue-andupon the observance of which, in my opinion, mainly depend the prosperity and perma- nent welfare of our country.
 If, on reviewing the history of my ad- intimidation, and ihe remarkable events, foreign and domestic, which have atten- ded it, it shall be the judgment of my countrymen, that have adhered to these principles, and faithfully periormedmy du- ty, the measures of my ambition are full, and I am deeply compensated for all the labors, care and anxieties which are in- separable from the high station which l have been called to fill.
 shall ever cherish. sentiments of deep gratitude to my tellow-citizens for the con- iidence they reposed in me, in elevating me to the most distinguished and responsi- ble public trust on earth.
 It is scarely necessary that l should add that it will be no less my duty than it will be my sincere pleasure, as a citizen, to unite with my democratic friends in the support of the nominees of the conven- tion, for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States.
 With great respect,

Hr. Hardy: In a number of your pa- per, some two or three weeks back, we noticed communication signed "Nim- rod" which stated, in substance, that the Commissioners of Revenue & Roads for Coosa county, had resigned their offices 1; consequently there was no Court on the first Monday in May; and in consequence of the doubts of the Judge of the County Court, as to his authority to go on with the business of the Court, nothing was done in the way of Districting the county and appointing Assessors. From which, to- gether with the earnest admonition of an editorial in the same paper, the idea seems to have gone abroad, however unauthor- ized, that the people of Coosa are deter mined to repudiate.
 Now our only reason for thus trespass. ing upon your patience and that of your readers, is to assure those who may feel interested in the matter, that they need feel no apprehensions on the subject. However objectionable the law may be in detail, there is not the least disposition among the citizens of Coosa to shrink from the payment of their taxes, even if they should necessarily be augmented to twice the present amount.
 The resignation of the Commissioners can afford no evidence in favor of repudi- ation, nor is it, in our conception, altogeth- CT fair to charge them with improper mo- tives in rcsigning their offices, for we think that we can say, without the fear of contradiction, that they were not influen- ced in the least by public opinion. Nor do we believe there was any attempt, or wish, on the part of any one, to influence them in the course which they chose to pursue. They adopted their course, each one for himself, from the purest of motives, without any consultation or combination for that purpose. We know the men, and therefore speak boldly. They resigned their offices, not because they were oppo- sed to seeing the present unparalleled law put in force, and in train for the collection of the taxes of this county, but because they were not willing to subject them selves to the penalties of a law so much mistifed as the present Revenue law seems to be.
 Though it is not our object to defend the Commissioners for doing what all must admit they had right to do. They are better able to do that for themselves, when it becomes necessary. It is our wish, and only object, to remove the erro- neous impression that repudiation finds any countenance in Coosa.
 Let this simple statement suffice to re- move all such notions from the minds O. all where they may have found any i'm pression. And when the time for collect ing the taxes comes, the people ot Coosa will be as prompt as those of any other county in the State.

The following letter from the President, was read before the late Democratic Ma tional Convention, previous to balloting for candidates:
 WASHINGTON CIrY, May 20, ls4S.
 DEAR SIR: From speculations which have appeared in some of the public jour- nals, and from frequent inquiries which have been made of me by many political friends, some of them delegates to the Democratic National Convention, which will assemble at Baltimore on the 22d inst, am induced to suppose that it may be the desire of some of my friends to propose my re-nomination, as the candi- date of the democratic party, for the of fee of President of the United States Should you ascertain that such is the in. tention of any of the delegates, desire, through you, to communicate to the Con- vention that am not candidate for the nomination, and that any use of my name with that view, which may be contempla- ted, is without any agency or desire on my part.
 The purpose declared in my letter ol the 18th of June, l644. in accepting the nomination rendered to me by the Demo. cratic National Convention of that year, remains unchanged and to relieve the convention from any possible embarrass. ment which 'the suggestion of my name might produce in making free selection of a successor who may be best calcula. ted to give effect to their will, and guard all the interests of our beloved country , Ideem it proper to reiterate the sen,i. ments contained in that letter. Since my election I have often expressed the desire which still feel, to retire to private life at the close of my present term.
 entertain the confident hope and be lief, that my democratic friends of the con vention will unite in the harmonious nom ination of some citizen to succeed me

Thc Democratic Nominees.

It Is with the most cordial feelings that we enter upon the canvass of 194s, for the nominees of the Democratic National Convention. With men who are so pure, so faithful to American liberties, as are the nominees of the Convention, should, il would seem, be sufficient to rally to the field every true hearted patriot, be he situ- ated in whatever section of the Union he might, if it was not for the grovelling dis position on the part of the opponents of truth and order. It will not be as it was during the last campaign. The whigs cannot ask "Who is Cass!-Who is But. ler?" The former is we'll known as a military chieftain, who has rendered ser vices to his country which it is scarcely in the power of the American people to re- pay. Not only has Gen. Cass stood on the field of blood and carnage, defending his country's honor and his country's vir- tue, but he has been otherwise engaged in propogating and guarding the social in- terests of this glorious republic in a civil capacity. In the halls of Congress has the patriotic voice of this grey headed vet eran been heard, cautioning his fellows to beware of dissentions, and urging the ne- cessity of the prevalence of justice with in the walls of the great council room of the greatest republic on earth. General Cass is with the South on all questions vi. tally affecting her interests and insttu- tions. He is opposed to all the wild and silly issues that the whig party have urged upon the people so frequent, and been as often defeated. Nor does he hold himself in such high estimation of his own hon. esty, as to refuse to give his views upon all questions that it is the desire of his tel- low-citizens to know, but comes out as 'an American, bold, fearless, and above boa,d, in truly a patriotic manner.
 As to Gen. Butler. it is not within the power of this pen to deal out that praise which his noble services, his intrepid dar- ing requires. We will leave that for the pages of the history of our country for the last forty years.
 This nomination, all in all, is the best, the strongest, and the most able that could have been made by the Democracy of the Union. And in November next the sons of Alabama will march to the standard on which CASS and BUTLER is inscribed, in thousands.

H 1t is with the most profound regret that many of the friends of MT. WM. L.. YANcEY views his course in the late Ma tional Convention. Some have ventured to predict that he will not support the nom- inees. But for ourselves, we think it more than necessary to see further from this gentleman before ,re can venture to predict an opinion. All that we have to say is, if any democrat wishes to turn whig, he has our full and free consent, for the Democracy of Alabama knows no phunkeyism and Barnburners.

EMIGRATION OF THE CREEK INDIANS. For several weeks an Indian by the name of Ward, has been actively engaged in getting together the few scattering ffag- ments of the Creeks that have been re- maing in this section since the emigration of that fading race, in '36. We learn that he has succeeded in getting some 40 or 50 together, and embarked at this place week before last for Arkansas, which we think makes clean sweepingof that once powerful and warlike people.
