Hon. JOHN NJ. BoTTs.-This gentle
man, in very lengthy letter in the Rich
mond (Va.) papers, declines the nomin-
alton which be accepted in March last,
as the Wing candidate for Congress in
that district. Mr.. Bolts has, it seems,
given certain votes in the Virginia Re,
form Convention, of which he is a MEM
Der, that are not acceptable to portion
of his constituents. In his address he
argues the consistency Of his course with
his pledges, endeavors to show that he
should not forfeit confidence, and sayshe
would wish to go into the congressional
canvass only on national grounds. But
the alleged dissatisfaction renders it, in
mis- opinion. due to the Wing cause that
he should decline the nomination for Con-
gress until another district convention
shall determine whether he is still the
, chnice of the Wings for that position
, This is certainly magDanimous.
