A Political Curiosity.

SPRING VALLEY, Mimi, July 10, 1856
Judge Percy B. Smith, chairman of the
Democratic conference. Saltwater, MINI.
Dear Sir-I notice in the newspapers that you
have named me as member of the Demo-
cratic executive committee for the Tenth
judicial district, and l take occasion to
hereby decline the position to which you so
kindly appointed me. In forwarding my de-
cliuation l deem it proper to say, that the
causes neceSsitating this action are well
understood. am Democrat of the YER
mont school, and was nursed and reared
Democrat in the old green mountain state.
1t is fair to assure you that l have very re-
ligiously believed the Jacksonian maxim, that
to the victors belong the spoils. 1 have re-
garded it as vitality essential that the Demo-
cratic party, when in power, should have
none but true and tried Democrats on
guard. and that all Democrats in Office or
out of Office, were bOunden to maintain by
their votes, and by active work the national
supremacy of our grand old party. But
l have read the recent order of the presi-
dent, and interpret it RS a positive restriction
upon those charged with official trusts. The
president says: 1.-THE influence Of federal
oficeholders should not be felt in manipula-
ton of political primary meetings and nomi-
mating conventions. The use by these
officials and their positions to compass their
selections as delegates to political conven-
tons is indecent and unfair, and proper re-
caro- LOT the propfletles ana requirements for
officiai place will also prevent their assuming
the active conduct of political campaigns"
This language is unmistakable, and / bow
dutfuily TO its mandates. / could not retain
my membership in your executive committee
and meet the requirements of the place with
out active participation in political meet
ings." and such participation is forbidden by
the president, and therefore I must decline,
or be content to hang on to a position, the
duties OF winch L cannot properly discharge.
/ therefore resign. In transmitting my resig-
nation. beg TO assure you of my unwavering
faith in Democratic principles and Demo-
cratic policies, so admirably expounded and
enforced by our honored president Respect
fully, e. G. H. ADAMS.
