The subjoined card speaks for it
self. It is to be regretted that the
legislative nominees of the highly
respectable Convention which nom
inated Mr. Magnln for the of lice of
Clerk, should have combined their
Influence against him on the ques
tion of irrimilarity of nomination.
He was nominated fairly and by a
lanre majority. The nominees for the
Legislature tacitly accepted noini
nation at the hands of a Convention
which they now denounce; indeed.
Mr. Harris, tho nominee for tht-
Senate, accepted in a secch.
It is to I? deplored that a man'
fortune "glosses over any faults with
which he may be charged" ; nay,
more, it is a sad commentary on
public virtue that such is a fact. We
feel that we have a right to speak
thus plainly, it having been agreed
to read the card at every precinct.

enough to be elected. Owing to
the following causes, viz : That the
combined influence of all the Re
publican candidates for the Legisla
ture and the Republican candidates
for the various county oflices is be
ing exerted to its utmost extent
against me and in favor of Mr.
Hunting; and owing totneiurtner
fact that my opponent, Bunting,
has a fortune at his command, with
whicli he can gloss over any faults
with which he may be charged ;
while, on my side, I have not a dol
lar but what is needed by my fami
ly for the actual necessaries of life,
1 have concluded that to pursue the
contest further would only result in
the election of the Democratic can
didate. I am satisfied that I could
carry a larger vote than Bunting,
out witn me aoove nameu mnu-
enccs at work, I am not satisfied
that I could carry enough votes to
elect me, therefore I have resolved
to withdraw from the canvass.
This action on my part is in good
faith, and is taken with a view to
promote harmony in the ranks of
tne itenuDiican nany in wukb
county.
As the only condition or mis
withdrawal, it is agreed by the Re
publican candidates for the Legisla
ture that one of their number shall
read this card at every political
meeting in this county during the
present canvass.
And now, in withdrawing, I de
sire to return my sincere and heart
felt thanks to my friends who nave
aided me and cheered me on in this
contest, and to assure them that I
am actuated solely by a desire to
further their interests as Kepubli-
