HoS. LINN BoYD.-Ths editor of the Kentucky
Statesman, who called on the Hon. LINZ BoYD, at
Philadelphia, the 18th instant, regrets to state
that the nature Of his disease does not admit the
possibility Of ais participating, as speaker. in the
pending gubernatorisi canvass and that it may be
some weeks before he will be sufficiently recovered
to return to Kentucky. In common with the whole
Democratic party of Kentucky, the editor can

interesting and important struggle, yet it will be
gratifying his many devoted personal friends in
all parts Of the State to lsarn that his disease is at
last rapidly yielding TO medical treatment, and that
his complete, though gradual restoration to health,
may now be confidently hoped,

discuss questions Of policy and principles of govern
meui, carefully avoiding the Of epithets and
uukind criticism upon individuals. He had said at
Galatn and everywhere else, aud should continue
to say that Col n had voted for the charter Of the
Citizens Bank, and that he supposed that Col n.
