Hon. CHARLES BRowN DEoLINEs-The follow
.ng letter fom Hon. Charles Brown, declining TO
permit his name being placed before the Demo-
cratic State Convention for nomination as Repre-
sentative in Congress, was placed in our hands
yesterday morning, with the request that ii should
Gppear in the Ga=ete in order that the matter
might be set at rest. Mr.. BROwS's name has been
so frequently mentioned among the Democrats Of
this county, and we presume also Of the other
counties, that this eourse seemed necessary. The
Democratic Party never willingly gives up a good
and faithful servant, and the lO,ter Of Mr.. B will
DO read with regret:
