Gentlemen: Your kindly intcntioncd communi-
cation has been submitted to as many Of my person
al and political friends as could be conveniently con-
fcrrcd with, and our concurrent opinion is that it
would be un ust to the friends have made and in
consistent with my scllrespeet at this late hour, to
withdraw. The cndeavor to strengthen mysclfwith
the friends Of Col PIcKENs, might rcsultn weaken
ing myself with my own friends.
fully appreciate the sincerity of your motives in
addressing me, but there circumstances attend
ing my nomination and candidacy of which had you
been informed am the proposal OF your letter
would not have been made.
Information has reached me- through different
channels, that am implcdly charged with forward
ness and of causing this District TO hazard the loss
of the Representative Ito which she is entitled by
the extent Of her territory and large popuation) by
division Of its vote. propose giving you, and the
people Of Edgefied plain statement of facts which
it is thought, will acquit ME of either charge.
During term-timc of the Court, in March, 1852,
it came to my knowledge that would be nominated
for Congress in the Advertiser, Of the next week
The nomination did appear and together with it,
also a nomination of COL PIcKESs. On the day af-
ter the paper was issued approached Col. PcKESs,
and said to him that I" | regretted to see our names
in seeming conflict for the same position-that had
supposed he would have desired it, or could have
been induced to accept it, should not have allowed
my own name to have been offered to the public"
He replied that she did not wish to run-that he
had refused to run-that he had no idea Of running
that his friends were urging his claims to sea-
in the United States Senate, and lest lie might oft
fend some one by refusing his name, his nomination
might as well remain in the paper, as it would re-
suit in no interference with my purposcs;" and
think he added, "might have the effect Of keeping
others off,
Let it be remembered that Col. PIcKENs was then
an avowed candidate for the United States Senate,
and that he knew felt interested in his success us
a gentleman, for whom 1 entertained personal re-
gard, and whose ability and political information
were highly appreciated BY me. Such were our

In addition to the expressions of home sentiment
which greeting the announcement Of the Hon. F..

re happy to perceive, has been nominated for Con.

The Iron Jackson.

CONGRESS adjourned on Saturday and went under
the belly of the new iron horse and rider just erected
in Washington to the memory of Gen. Andrew Jack
son. There is nothing in this world and there
was anything, that pays better than Hero worship.
At once the cheapest and meanest way of climbing
popular favor is exat and glorify popular idol.
And none understand this any better than the men
who go, or who want to go, 10 Congress.
The above is sample Of the New York Tribune S

engaging qualities Of coarseness, irreverence and
stupidity coarseness by the evident absence of any
manner of appreciation for work of real genius

this note and wetrust that you will appreciate the
motive that has aciuatcd us in so doing The friends
Of Col. f. w. PIcxENs have, it seems, determined
to run him for Congress, which will, therefore
take from your support large vote, that you would
otherwise get. We believe, therefore, as matter
of policy and looking to your future interests, and
respectfully suggest for your consideration, the pro-
pric,y Of Withdrawing your name from the CANVASS.
Were You to do so in favor Of Col. PJcKESs, we be-
licvc it would place you on much higher and surcr
footing in future 1t would strengthen you with
his friends, and it would be regarded by the public
as magnanimous and disntercstcd patriotism Oh
