A response from J. J. DuBo.e

To the German Dem0cratlc Noinmittoe'
In response to the flattering and high
| ly complimentary resolutions you were
pleased to adopt, connecting my name
with the honorable position of State
Senator, be assured of my most grateful
appreciation, and of renewed endeavors
to deserve this voluntary expression Of
confidence. H46
As mere matter of Office, with its mea-
ger emoluments, the place of Senator Is
by no means to be coveted but when
official position and its responsibilities
are properly regarded, it becomes invest
ed with attractions that might inspire the
ambition of any young man who is proud
to serve his country in any honorable
capacity, and does not shrink from the
labors that are coincident with leglsla-
ton.
You intimate correctly that | regard
my countrymen with equal consideration,
whether born among our own hills and
valleys or beneath the skies of foreign
land We are, or should be, engrossed
with the same idea--the advancement OF
human happiness and the progress OF
the country's prosperity, and all our en-
ergies should have that direction. The
great sum of nations wealth and con-
tentment is made up of individual con,
tributions, and no State can be considered
fortunate and its people happy where
the Government is employed for the
benefit of the few at the expense Of the
MANY. in which case, although the eye
NAV encounter the livery of splendor
and extravaganza, the ear cannot be
deaf to the wall of the wretched and the
eye ia shocked by squalid misery. To
render ours parental government its
aim and object the prosperity and hap
piness of the largest number, the people
must take counsel among themselves
and Danish from the land that Radical
ism. which, like foul and ugly ulcer, is
eating away the vitality OF free institu-
tons and filling the body polite with a
moral gangrene.
! fear that you have over-estimated my
ability 10 serve my people, in the halls
of legislation, bnt ] should fail to ex-
press my feelings we're | to deny that
| the compliment is decidedly agreeable.
Should my fellow-citizens, through their
delegates assembled in convention, think
proper to nominate me as the Demo
cratic candidate for Senator, for the
counties Of Shelby and Fayette, ! shall
use every exertion to bear their banner
proudly and execute the trust faithfully.
/ have the honor to be
Younob't servant,
j. j. DuBosE.

THE SEVERAL CONVENTIONS.

There is much more apparent machin-
cry in the political movements hereabout
than there is in reality. The same men
might have been entrusted with the pow
ers which have been distributed among a
considerable number, and fulfilled every
expectation, but on the principle Of every
tub standing on its own bottom, and De
mocracy representing itself in propria
persoaa, each prospective convention
has its separate and distinct delegates.
For the benefit of our readers, and that
they may be fully posted, we enumerate
the several conventions and where held.
There is a seeming multiplicity Of these
assemblages, hut they are necessary tc
the situation, and may not be required
again in a century or more.
The first convention will assemble al

Overton Hotel, on the S0th inst, tC
