Deeply sensible, as I am, of the honor thus con ferred upon me by my political friends a compli ment the more flattering, as you suggest, because of the imposing character of the Convention and the harmony which attended its deliberations yet, I am far from thinking that any mere desire of honoring an individual was the cause of bringing together so large a representation of the Democra cy of the State as was present at Charlotte. The advancement of great political principles, such as are embodied in the resolutions adopted, in which are involved the honor and welfare of the country, was doubtless, the ruling influence that pervaded the Convention and directed its deliberations to a har monious conclusion. The?e principles, are such as have guided my political course through life ; at all times, hereto fore, they have been maintained by me, and I make no sacrifice of opinion now, in saying to you and through you to the Democratic party of the State, that they shall have my zealous support, in the ' coming canvass, as tnev nave my entire anu con scientious approval to east it overboard.

Senator Sumner. The Washington corres pondent of the New York Evening Post, under date of Sunday, 11th inst., says; "I regret to be compelled to announce that Mr Sumner's health is quite poor. He attempted to walk from the Capitol to his lodgings, yesterday, but the returns of the pains in his back were so severe that he was put into a carriage and convey ed home. He is far from being a well man, and should avoid all excitement. He is anxious to re sume his official duties, but is not sufficiently re covered yet to do so." If the notorious Senator has become an useless invalid, why does he not resign? If his ills are real, good faith to Massachusetts requires his re- tiraey. If affected, with a view to capital for the next Senatorial election, then Mr Sumner has maintained for two years a most unparalelled di -plieity, which could only avail in the land of pu ritanical fanaticism and political unscrnpulousncss.
