Colonel. JOHN f. LEwIs.-This gentle
man. the nominee for the office OF Lleuten-
ant-Goycrnor on the Walker ticket, has de-
clarcd himself candidate for Congress for
the sixth congressional district. lie de-
clares in his address that he has heretofore
declined to become candidate for Con-
gres>, though urged to do 50 by many OF his
friends, because it was unprecedented he
might in that way embarrass the Walker
ticket. He says:
elf this apprehension were well-ground-
ed, | should still unhcsitatingly decline ;
but mature reflection has satisfied me that
there is no foundation for this fear, as in the
event of the election of the walker ticket,
which most earnestly desire, my duties a.
acknowledgements will be merely nomi-
nal, and after the organization ofthe Senate,
and the election of president pro tenn,
which will have been done several months
prior to the meeting of Congress, can re-
sign the office of Lieutenant-Governor with
out detriment to the interest of Virginia.
This opinion is concurrcd in by the most
intelligent men with whom have conversed
on the subject
