has magnanlmously withdrawn his name
from the canvass as candidate at this
time, and advised his friends to support
Mr.. Williams; such adherence to we'll es-
tablished rules is commendable. That
portion too, of Allegheny county which
forms part of the Congressional District
has already re-nominated MIR. Williams
by acclamation.
How is it as to former Representatives
in Congress from the District now com
posed of the counties named. Some for
ty years ago, Robert Orr was elected and
re eelected-since then John Gilmore was
elected and reelected; Joseph Bufing
ton elected and reelected; William Bea-

Now why should wemake an exception in
his case, and give to him different rec
ord from that of all the other Honorable
gentlemen we have named, or in other
words, would it be right to give him but
one term while all the others have had
two terms-would it not imply censure
without cause for it
1t is well known too that we are all
with unsurpassed unanimity supporting
the denomination and election of Presi-
dent Lincoln, for second term, and | am
unable to see how we can consistently, at
the same time, oppose the denomination
of our Representative in Congress, who
has had but one term, and who is faith
fully supporting the same principles and
measures that we so much admire in the
National Administration.
These suggestions, made in all kindness,
will | trust, be satisfactory.
Very truly Yours,

Congressional Nomination.

In to-day's paper will be found a COM
munication upon this subject We
are free to say, that we deem this article
i'll timed, and we make this announcement
now, SO that any misunderstanding as to
our position may be avoided.
Gen. Purvianee is one of our best citi-
zens, and would fill with credit any posi-
tion to which the people might call him,
even to seat in Congress but we con-
fess, to- good degree of astonishment, in
learning from him that he declines that
honor now in favor of Mr. Williams -
while he doubtless states the truth as to
the partiality of some of his friends, GER
tainly his friends generally did not think
of himin this connection. We think there
fore, that he cannot seriously claim much
credit for this exhibition of bis generosity.

For our own part, we are for Butler
county first, and the rest of the world af-
terwards.
1t is quite usual for the conferees of
district, on their first meeting after its
formation, to agree to division of the
time among the various counties, in ae-
cordance with this rule the conferees of
Butler and Allegheny, met in 1852, when
we first became united, and passed reso-
luton, by which, Butler was to have six
of the ten years-this agreement they
violated, and instead of giving us six,
took six themselves, leaving us only four
This being the case it was generally con-
ceded that we should have the first of the
present term-this we say, was the con-
viction of both counties, except perhaps
a few politicians who had the matter diff
ferently adjusted, and Mr.. Williams be-
came our candidate, and obtained our sup
port. For ourselves we can say, that we
admire Mr.. Williams; as man of literary
attainments, he has few equals, and no
superiors in Congress. We are sorry,
however, to reflect that these fine powers
were prostituted to the service of the enc
mics of the administration in the last con-
test for the supremacy in this state--then
we were informed by some of bis former
friends that they would not again present
his name we could give their names if
necessary, still we are free to say, that the
good qualities of Mr. Williams head and
heart overcome their defects and we there
fore accept him as faithful representa-
tive. We don't believe however, that Mr..
VS. special friends here are pursuing a
course calculated to advance his interest.
by making fight on a home candidate.
That county would be false to her hon
or, which would turn her back on her own
citizen, and declare for another. Our
county will never do so. Let our people
rally with enthusiasm round the man of
their choice, let other counties do so too.
and, as usual, let the district conference
settle the matter between the several in
terests as justice and right demand, and
their action shal! be cheerfully acquiesced
in by us, as it will by all good citizens.

DutiSi - -h"yI iOVt'
Thomas Robinson and Cyrus Z. Under
son, Editors american Citizen:
GENTLEMEN:-The kind partiality of
a number of friends having induced them
to express a desire that | should be can
didate for Congress, / have thought it
proper in declining to be candidate to
state the reasons which influence my judg-
ment.
The name of the Hon. Thomas Will
liams is again before the people of this
Congressional District for denomination,
to the position he now occupies as our
Representative in Congress. Whilst we
have no disposition to disparage the mer-
its Of others who aspire to a seat in Con-
gress, it may be truthfully said that Mr..
Williams is one of the ablest members of
the body, and has rendered efficient and
able support to all the measures of the
National Administration. No frmer or
truer friend of President Lincoln is to be
found in Congress. And it is well known
that no member can exercise so much in
fiuence as the one who has asexperience and
served in Congress several years.
In these times of our National troubles
when the very existence of the Republic
is menaced and the public mind so in
tensely occupied with the news from our
army, now gallantly fighting the most san
culinary battles of the war, unnecessary
party strife, and especially for nominations,
should be avoided as far as practicable-
The greatest questions that everoccupied
the American Congress, will occupy the
earnest consideration and labor of the next
Congress-it is therefore, eminently the
interest of the people that the Represen-
tative who has proved able and faithful
should be continued, and receive the en-
couraging appreciation of his constituent
cy.
Would it be regarded fair or just to ap-
ply different rule to Mr.. Williams, from
that which has been applied to all his pre-
decessors in the counties of Allegheny,
Armstrong and Butler, for nearly half a
century. Party usage has invariably Civ
en- to the faithful Representative re-
election, and SO general and well settled
has this rule become that the Hon. Jo-
siah Copley, who was nominated for Con-
grsss two years ago By Armstrong county.

Rzy' Rumors are being set afoat by
those protesting to be the special friends
of Mr.. Williams, to the effect that there
is an arrangement between Butler and
Armstrong counties to the exclusion of
Allegheny.
Our friends in Allegheny know well
the value of such alliances and are, per-
haps, apprehensive that we have profted
by their example. In county like ALE
gheny where the politicians carefully re-
tain the management of their affairs in
their own hands, by the agency of the old
exploded system of delegates, they can
make arrangements and form alliances; !;
but in county like ours or Armstrong
where the peoples will, as expressed by a
direct vote, is the law, it is idle to talk of
arrangements. Let all, therefore, keep
cool, and the people viii make arrange
ments for themselves, and the politicians
must be content with them, whether they
suit them or not.
