Refusing to Accept.

The Republican some weeks since an
nohnced with considerable Of flourish. that
certain mea in lhs county, would collect
funds tor The Kansas Aid relief society.
Among the number mentioned. was the
name Of Rev. Lewis II. Davidson. Of Wash.
iugiOu township. We thought that he had
accepted Of the appointment, for the reason
that we did not believe that Hatton, Lew.on
and Finney Notwithstanding their natural
presnmptuousness. would appoint men on
such disreputable business, without first
knowing that they would accept of their ap-
pointment. But it appears from the last
Rel ublican that We were mistaken in our
belief In that paper. Jesse FoRsYTHE,
the well known and ehenp petliiogger Of the
section in which he lives. comes out with
the following communication, which we pub
lish entire, both for the purpose of letting
the pull lie know that Rev. Davidson Iefuses
to accept of the appointment rendered to
him BY Hatton, Lewton and Finney; and
also to let :he public know how beautiful
Jesse "Writes for The press"
But why did not Rev. Davidson come out
over his own signature, and decline the sp
pointment? Was he not capable Of doing
SO? Or was it necessary to give two men
prominence before the public? Did Rev.
Davidson have to pay Jesse the usual petit
fogger's fee (s2) for writing this cOm.nuni-
cation? They are both aspirants for Office.
Rev. Davids expects in short time to be
candidate for Representative; hence his
declination Of engaging in any such disrep'
utable business as that Of trying to produce
. civil war. When he gets nominated, men
who are ROW engaged in such dishonora
p bic business as the Rev Davidson was APP
r pointed to do, will wish that they had neser
been born before they engaged in such tory
!. business. The thing viii become so un.
!. popular that there is not an aspirant in the
:, county but what will deny before two year!
of ever being engaged in collecting funds tC
o carry on civil war in Kansas, This lette
