Withdrawals in Perry County.
PerryUiNe, Perry O., Ark., June 18th, 1856.


 E. H. JOHNSON, esq.,
 Sir:-About the first day of May last requested you to make announcement in the True Democrat of my witdrawal from the American party, which duly appeared in the columns of your paper. A democratic con- vention of Perry county, have thought proper to nominate me as candidate for the office of Sheriff of this county, which nomination have accepted. l now learn that my Know Noth- ing opponents are declaring to the voters of this county, that I am still, according to their by laws, member of their party and that they so claim me-that the announcement of my withdrawal was not published over my sigma ture, etc.
 wish therefore to say to the people, that my withdrawal from the so-called American party was genuine, and made in good faith And that shall use my utmost exertions to aid in the dissemination of democratic princi- ples, and will vote for none but democratic can- didates, being fully convinced that the Know Nothing party are endeavoring to undermine the liberties of the people.
 Yours respectfully,
 ANDREW J. JENKINS.

Mir EDIToR-Permit me to announce through the columns of your paper, my dissatisfaction with and withdrawal from the self-styled Ame- rican party. Some time in May, 1853, l was induced to join the Know Nothings, as they were termed, being assured that their principles were democratic. find myself sadly disap. pointed in. that, and now l claim dismissal from them in good faith, as was promised by them. 1 furthermore wish to exercise that freedom at the ballot box that belongs to every freeman, unrestrained by oath bound political parties. From the view that 1 take of the last platform, it is not safe one for the south; there fore cannot give it my support. My leaving it is not that I owe my late friends of the Ame- rican party any personal enmty; but l believe most of them feel that they are engaged in the cause of their Creator.
 Good bye Know Nothings.
 Yours very respectfully,
 T. w. MCCULLOUGH.
