Last week I received from Postmaster
Randall the follerin breef note:
WASHINGTON, November 49,
SIR: The tener Nv offs act does not
sheeld 700 from removal. Wood it not be
well for 700 to declare yoor preference for
the Presidency? 1t is my opinion that
President Johnson Good be indoost to ac-
cept the nominashun.s ~ az

He is my fust and only choice, and will be

abuse his competitors, and that, possibly,

The Question witch just now agitates the
mind Nv Kentucky more, perhaps, than
any thing else, is: who shell be the nomi-
nee Nv the next Nashnel Dimocratic Con-
venshun. There are many gentlemen
spoken Nv in counecshun with the place,
and their claims perpose, briefly, to con-
sider a'r th'D a'i17d aif@ H e ns'si
The first is General George B. McClel-
Ian, whose body hez been recently raised
for the purpose. General Nice lellan Is not,

him TO the Southern heart. Any one who
Good hev ran agin Linkin in 1854, they
consider must hcv bin tro0 to the South.
He is the soothinest man to the Southern
people witch ever wore bloc. But he won't
anser. In the first place there isn't time
between this and the next election for him
to make up his mind whether he will ac-
cept the nomination or not; and secondly,
eff he did decide in time he lacks prestige.
He has been detected wunst, hez George,
and it wont do to take up whipt rooster.
Evidently he is out Of the ring. @ @ 5as
Next on the carpet is Pendleton. George
Ell. Pendleton, I say unhesitatingly, won't
do He won't anser Their is too CRATE g.
distance atween him and the masses Nv

wears clean shirt collars, and no SIGH man
kin hev the confidence and esteem Nv the
Dimocrasy NV the trooly Dimocratic
States. These things, 700 may aver, are
small and inconsequenshel, but deny it.
They are NV vital Importance Their is
a material affinity between dDimocrasy
and dirty collars. Didst never observe

poverty neither did he, while upon the
shoe bench, feel within him the cravins Nv

wuz born Nv rich but respectable parence,

that PendletOn won't do. .-s5asE
