Convention in Calhoun, expressed a
preference for Mr.. FeatherSton as men,

- The Vicksburg Sentinel Of the
I'd inst, states that letter has been re-
ceived from Hon. I. ]. Wharton, de-
clining positively to become candi-
date for the Office OF Supreme Judge.
This determination by Mr. Wharton
will be disappointment to his numer-
Gus friends throughout the district.
Although, for the present Mr.. Whar-
ton may resist the earnest solicitation
of friends, to become a candidate, he
cannot long resist the appeals and wish
es of his friends. His talents, energy,
and sobriety, fit him for high station,
and ere long he will have to yield to
the wishes of his fellow-citiZenS, and
consent that his services shall be sub
