Washington, D. C., June 25. 1856

WdSA2ngtOn, O C., June 70, 1856 GENTLEMEN ours of the l4th ult.. is this day received, in which you say that |" the de- nocratic convention held at Batesville last week for the purpose of nominating a democratic candidate to represent this District in Congress. aled through oversight as we suppose, to ap- point committee to inform you of your nomi- nation. and under the circumstances we think ;tnot improper for us as the late secretaries of said convention to thus give you that informa. aon"
 It is a cause of true pleasure to me that the democratic party, of my district, through chosen delegates, has again honored me with nomi nation for the high and responsible position of representative for that district in Congress. am unfeignedly grateful for this renewed tes- hmonial of the affection and confidence of my fellow citizens; and in accepting the position assigned me, renew all that 1 have heretofore said when before so honored, repeating my pledge to maintain the constitution, the prin- cpes of the great democratic party, the ghts and interests of our State and common country so far as my abilities shall extend.
 To the resolutions of the convention "de. fning the principles and policy of the demo- Gacy of the district" Gf they correctly appear with the published proceedings of the conven- tiOn,) l heartily subscribe and most willingly adopt. 1 am conscious of no political act of my life which is antagonistical to the principles of these resolutions, and am resolved to defend them at any and all times to the full extent of my power
 Itis to be hoped that Congress will adjourn in time sufficient to allow me to canvass at least some of the eastern counties of the dis trict Should such fortunately prove to be the casc shall enter the work and earnestly pro- claim and defend the principles and faith of the democratic party, as the only true, conser- yative and national party, upon the existence of which depends the parpetuity of the constitu- ton and the glorious heritage left us by our S.res.
 But should the exigencies of our country. even now become extraordinary and full of portent, protract the sitting of Congress to late day, l cannot forsake my post to mingle in the canvass The welfare of the Union. the dearest rights of the south and the preser- n,on of peace, now greatly endangered by the dark horles of b2ack repubFcaniSna, affiliatng with KnOa0 Notlingjsm, demand that every lover of his country should be upon his watch The rights of the south under the constitution are seriously and impudentv threatened and aSsael, and it becomes the duty of every southern member of Congress sternlv and un- i chjngly to meet the issue preserve his right, ad cheek the foul fanaticism which would Iav is profane hands nro' the constitntion and in Tolve our country in all the horrors of civil war. am gentlemen,
 very respectfully,

EDITOR TRUE DEMoCRAr-You will please an nounce, through the columns of your valuable paper, my withdrawal from the canvass for the office ol Prosecuting Attorney for the 2d Judicial Circuit that an arrangement could easily be made by which only one democrat would be on the field, called on my democratic competitors at early day in thecan vass, and did agree upon plan, by which claims would have been fairly adjusted
 When the time came, however, Mir. Arnett bad changed his mind and refused to go into it. Another proposition then agreed to, and Mr. Arnett, when the time came, again refused.
 In the last extremity myself and the Hon. John c. Murray the other democratic candidate) agreed to leave 0r case to five disinterested democratic friends and the result of their deliberations being in his favor shall give him my cordial support as his course throughout has been fair, firm and democratic.
 With many thanks to my friends for the interest they have manifested in my behalf, subscribe my self their obedent servant, etc.,

Great Cure After the Physicians had Failed.

NASHVILLE, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1855. Dr. C. NJ. Jackson-Dear Sir-'' He would inform you that out of Hoohand's German Bitters, which meet with ready sale.

He looked much like dead man going about, as anything we can compare him to. His dis ease appeared to be an oreyi1,eing Qf the gall. With hard persuasion we prevailed on him to try your Bitters, with the promise to Eim if it did no good would charge him nothing for it. provided he took six bottles according to directions which he has done and is now entirely cured, and has become well man. This has created great sale in this neigh borhood." Respectfully,

Democrat, Little Rock.
Hyen0. July IL 1856.

DEAR S1R-From yours of recent date, l learn that the tenor of the correspondence be- tween Thos. E. Adams and myself is being misrepresented by certain persons in Cor about) the city of Little Rock. therefore send you, for publication, the originals of Mir. Adams notes, and copies of mine, to which please pre- fx this letter.
 These notes, four in number,-two over Mir. Adams signature and two over mine,-consti- ute the whole of the correspondence between us, Upon receiving my second note, Mir. Adams intimated (through his friend) that he was satisfied, and we therefore resumed our friendly relations.
 The correspondence speaks for itself, I would not have it changed in any respect. Its publication will convince all decent men of the {. infamy of the persons who have misstated its Iurport. And these cowardly slanderers would themselves blush at their own dishonor ifsthey were not callous to shame.
 Respectfully yours.

Obituary.

Died, in this city, on Monday evening, July lfth. 1856, at the residence of Major Crutch. field, MARY BLANCHARD, infant daughter of Col. \. B. and Mrs. Frances Juliet Burrow, aged seven months and twenty days.
 In the daily events of our quiet life we have noted, as the noiseless dropping of rose leaves too early blown, this silent yet reiterated sum- mons of our Father for his "little ones ;'' but we have never felt more deeply grieved than when contemplating the lifeess figure of dear little Mary.
 A few days ago, and the tide of life flushed her round cheek and joyous eyes with spark ling glow, and now pale and cold she lies, but lovely still-death relentug, set his seal, but sulied not a charm. Enshrined in the light of purity and innocence
 ''Shc lies within her cotin-cell
 Like priceless pearl in costly she'll" We look upon the round, fair cheek the dim pied fingers twined in calm repose, the swelling shoulders and tapering arms, and think here is the casket but the gem is gone-hcre is the censer but the incense-where . We'll may we wonder at that mysterious Providence which spares the aged tree, until its sapless trunk tot ters with age, while crushing the tender shoot ere its flores have been firmly planted in the generous earth-well may we pause in doubt and ask--was not this shaft sped unwarly? Mary was the cherished treasure of many hearts, and we would think that her life, had God vouchsaied it to their eager prayers, guar ded by so potent barrier of affection, would have fulfilled its promise of unusual brightness. She was gentle, winning and affectionate, elic- iting the tender love of all who knew her. and in our blindness we would have craved her pres- ence here secure in the belief that the frution of our wish would have gained for her such wealth of earthly joy, but the placid smile ho- vering over her still flea. lres, told 50 vividly of her perfect rest, that we could only murmur-
 'No, sweet little cannot bid thee stay" The home will be dark without her, there will be weary watching for the smile that is beam ing now in Heaven, and the tempest of sorrow will press with shock on the heart of the ab- sent father when he hears the tidings, that his loved and cherished blossom faded--died- he not near But
 '.Hush thee hush she's with her Maker | Fled earth's eoea,aaeSs and care 1 The smiling morn no more shall wake her From thy couch-she sleeps not there She's gone to God angels greet her | Gone to join the scraph- band
 Who are springing to meet her l In the glorious sprit-and."

ONE TERM.-Mr. Buchanan has distinctly announced in his letter of acceptance, that he shall accept only for one term. We like this recognition and the endorsement of the one term principle. It is practically correct and will, no doubt, be the practice of the democratic party. Gen. Jackson was the last President who served two terms, and unless some ex- traordinary man or circumstances are developed in the future, the one term principle will be practically carried out hereafter by the democ- racy, without any change ill the constitution being needed for that purpose.

OIdL Lime Wings Kallying for Buchanan.
 We find the following gratifying statement in the Crawford County (Pa.) Democrat:
 There was large and enthusiastic ratification meeting at Erie, Pennsylvania, last Friday evening, composed exclusively of old-line whigs," all going for "old Buck" They allow ed no others to participate in their meeting and resolved for the first time in their lives, to support the democratic nominees for Presiden, and Vice President.
 Some eight hundred of the neighbors of "old Buck" of the same stamp, called on him ir procession the day he was nominated, and pledged him their support The same feeling exists, and similar demonstrations are made over all the old Commonwealth. Pennsylva. mia is good for forty thousand majority for "od Buck"
