i Gentlemen: Your very complimentary note, in-
forming me of my nomination for Congress from the
10Th district, by convention of the Democratic
patty, held at Moundsvile, on the 18th of March,
and asking my acceptance of the same, has been
received, and would have been replied to earlier
but for the unsettled condition ofthe bill district

As much as distrust my abilities To serve the
Union, the State and the District, as they should
lie served IN this noe extended and responsible

my ability, faithfully, the counties composing the

,Shibits the relative rank of the States, and
their increase and decrease, we cdure some
curious facts. New York is shown to take

people, Maryland stands first, as she has done
ever since She pluckcd that dusky honor forty
years ago, from Virginia, and beside her, two
other States have to be named before the En-
Iirc State is mentioned. AS to the whole

stands possessed OF the largest number South
Carolina comes next, Georgia third, Alabamu
