GENTLEMEN-I had supposed that my acceOtancc
of the Presidency of the w. C w. R. K Co.. would
have been considered as announcement of my in.
tenton to retire from Congress- and have dispensed
with the necessity of more formal declination but
some of my friends have not given to it that con.
structon, proprlety demands that l should inform
your Convention of the fact
This step has been taken by me, from considera-
tons affecting my domestic affairs, which do not
consider myself at liberty to disregard They are
imperious. avail myself Of this occasion to return
to my friends throughout the District, my sincere
thanks for their uniform kindness to me. No vcis-
situde, either of veal woe, which may affect my
future life, can ever the remembrance Of their
kindness. In resumng my station private in the
Democratic ranks, hope my conduct will show that
my confidence in the principles of our party has not
been impaired by my Congressional experience nor
my energies sackened in the advocaon of its cause
On the contrary all that saw or heard at the Fed
era! Capitol but more strongly impressed my mind
with the conviction that all of our prosperity as an
Independent Confederacy, results from the predomi
nancy in the councils of our country of Democratic
State Rights principles. Our political history proves
that, whenever in the Administration of the Govern
confusion ensue. Hoping gentlemen, that you may
nave pleasant session, and that your labors may
enure for the good and harmony of our party, I
subscribe myself

EVASION OF THE REyENUE LAW.

The following circular, from Philadelphia house,
discloses attempt to evade the law of this
State, to which invite the attention of all good
citizens and especially those officers whose duty it
is to collect the taxes. This circular was sent to
gentlemen in one of the Western Counties, was by
him transmitted to Gov. Bragg; and the Governor
has authorized US to make it public. The same cir
cular has no doubt been sent to other portions of
the State. 1t explains itself, and is as follows:
"PHILADELPHIA, March 81, 1866.
We have just received copy of the late law
passed by your Legislature, laying tax of 25 perl
cent. on all Drugs, Medicines, Nostruns, sold
agent for the owner, if the be nonresident
of the State.
We have alternative left but to pay the tax,
withdraw our Medicines from your State, or to
add the additional tax the retail price of the Me-
dicines. Neither of these would appear just, to
large portion of your citizens, who prefer these Me-
dicines to paying physician We, therefore, pro-
pose to sell you Medicines, and bill them to you
sold and do hereby agree to take back at each
settlement, whatever Medicines you may then have
hand as part payment of said bill, at the invoice
prices.
If this arrangement will suit, you will please to
intimate the to us by return mail, and will
make you bill of the amount now charged on our
books. and forward to you at once. In the mean-
time, do not make any sales, only as your own Me-
dicines, until you get the bill.
Very respectfully,
