Hon. John Wilson withdraws.

The Platte City Atlas contains the follow
ing letter from Mr.. Wilson, from which it
will be seen he withdraws from the guber-
material canvass:-
Mn. EDIToR: Permit me to say through
your columns. have given my reason why
l, though unsolicited, became candidate
Tor Governor. In the new arrangements
by tactic,ans, my object is all eady defeated.
When foreigners can be transferred to
"Know Nothings" it confirms me in the o.
pinion, that their doctrine in relation to for
eigners is right. One other object I had,
that have lot yet mentioned, has also failed
that was to keep down the agitation ofthe
slavery question. But am defeated in
that also, and with my respects TO my friends
of the Wing party, the American party, and
the Benton Democrats, permit me to say,
withdraw my name from the race.

Mr.. Editor: / desire, through the col
umrs Of your paper 10 reply to the public
and private communications which have
emana,ed from a portion Of my fellow-citi-
zens Of the Third Congressional District Of
this State, inviting me 10 become candi-
date in the ensuing election to represent the
District in the next Congress Of the United
States. ..- II
To the authors Of those communication,
and to all such as may sympathise with
them in their feelings Of Partially for me,
desire TO say, that while am profoundly
grateful to them for their kindness in seek
ing my advancement 10 so high and honors-
BILE position, l am reluctantly compelled,
by my private engagements and embarrass-
ments, to decline the proposed race.
And having fully settled upon this de-
termination, deem it due TO that party
whose interests have warmly of heart, that
I should thus early and publicly make known
such decision, in order that the use which
has been made of my name by my friends,
shal! not operate in the defeat Of a hearty
and unanimous selection by the party, Of
some one more able than myself, pecunari-
ly and politically, TO serve the country sffic-
iently in the race for election, and upon
the floor Of Congress. Geo. b. ....g-a
In the selection of such a candidate,
shall cheerfully unite with the American
party and my citizens Of the District,
either in Convention or by invitation, and
when selected, shall do whatever l can, in
my humble way, consistent with my cir
chmstanees, TO secure his election. Fi

Gov. walker-Kansas.

Il Is announced that Gov. Walker 10 OH
his way to Kansas, at last. Elsewhere win
be found synopsis Of some remarks Of his
made in New York. The country has been
led to believe that Walker made great
sacrifice in accepting the Governorship Of
Kansas. He deliberated; consulted friends
and family, and finally accepted, in q letter,
which was published, and which was in
Walkers style! Then the telegraph has
announced that he was closeted with the
President; that he bad a long interview with
the Cabinet; that his instructions were be.
ing written; that they were completed; that
he was about to start, and now that he has
started! Old Buck and Walker are trying
to gain some renown as Union savers, by
settling the Kansas question:
The gooses! The Kansas question is set
tied. Slavery and anti-slavery" says the
National Democratic Address, is forgotten.
Indeed, the "subject Of slavery has never
been before the people," No body was ev-
er trying to keep slavery out or put it in
DR.. Stringfellow, candidate for Congress,
would prefer Kansas being slave State, but
IL he cannot get that, he wants Democrat
ic Free State. Secretary Stanton, IN his
Correspondence with the Lawrence Rebels
talks about Free Safe Democrats being ap-
pointed Elestion Supervisors. And finally,
the Democratic leading press in Missouri,
declares that the Democratic is not pro.sla.
very.party, and that difference Of opinion
on the slavery question is allowable in thai
party. There is no trouble in Kansas
since the free State men have put money in
the purses of the Southern slavery propagan.
da patriots Of last summer. Lane ant
Stringfellow make friends over gallon o.
whisky. Atchison and Robinson are on III,
platform, and all is peace!
What does Walker mean, then, by hi.
talk about settling the difficulties of Kansas
He is either fool himself, or wants to make
fool Of somebody. e4 reT.

mona more worthy of the distinction, and but
few better qualified TO make an able and in

Mr.. GIvENs is lawyer Of distinction in

two sessions in our Legislature, where he
took rank with the foremost men in the

Of the FILLMORE school, never running to
extremes shifting his sails to catch
the popular breeze, and is just the man to
concentrate the conservative voters of the
District-especially in opposition TO the
