HIS NAME SUBMITTED To NATIONAL CON-
vENTIoN.
John Donkey has given publicity to the
following address, authorizing his name to

TO THE PUBLIC.
The various and conflicting reports
which, my friends have at various times
but constantly against my WILL caused
10 be circulated in regard to my intentions
with respect to the approaching canvass
in relation to the next presidency, appear
to me to furnish a proper occasion for a full,
free, frank and explicit exposition of m
feeliSgs, sensations, emotions, desires, hopes
wishes, views and expectations on that sub
ject. This 1t is now proper 10 make

il some suitable form my desire not TO be
thought Of as a candidate. Upon getting
out in the world once more, however, all
my old aspirations came back upon me in
full force, and | determined to try it once
more for the last.
Accordingly, within the last three months
my friends, seeing the direction in which
any inclinations pointed, have represented
to me on all occasions, suitable aud insult
able, that | was the only hope of the coun-
try, aud that the great Donkey party would
inevitably be dissolved, if | whhdrew-es-
pecially in the free States| where own
such large plumbers of slaves; that at no
former period was there so good a chance
of my election as at present; and that the
great states of Conmunipaw and Unadilla
would almost CERTAINLY cast their votes for
me; that omPahipaw would more certainly
bestow herSutfrage upon me than upon any
other Candidate, and that Unadilla would
glysIher vote to no candidate who did not
wear whiskers but me; that there is a be-
ter prospect than has heretofore at any
time existed; that Shirt Tail Bend itself
would unite with them; that no candidate
can be elected without the concurrence of
two of these three great and powerful
states, and none could be defeated upon
whom they should all unite; that great num-
bers of our fellow-citizens, both Natives
and ''b,oody foreigners" who were deceiv-
ed, and therefore voted for me at the last
election, are eager to do so again, and that
all things considered, am just the boy for
President.
Since my return to my stable, l have.
calmly deliberated on all these matters, and
have used up severat states in cyphering up
the result, by whish l am convinced that MY
duty to myself, to my friends, my conscience
and myself, demands that should sacrifice.

before the public, and should consent to be-
come once more a candidate. In the mean
time, take pleasure in informing such of
my friends as may have pledged themselves
to OLD Whitley, that | am not angry with them
and that they may all vote for me, the same
as 1t it hadn't happened.
