Tarborough, March 5th. 1843. Gentlemen: I have this da received your communication asking me to sry in explicit terms, if nominated by the Conven tion 1o meet in Washington on the 2ih of the present month, to nominate a Demo cratic candidate to represent the eighth Congressional district in the next Con gress of the United States, whether I would accept the nomination? And you further ask, if the nomination should fall upon an other gentleman, whether 1 would acqui esce in the nomination and support the nominee? As to your first enquiry 1 bei; leave to state that. I addressed a note to the Editor of the Tarboro' Press early in Feb ruary last, authorizing him to announce me a candidate for re-election, in the eighth Congressional district, to the next Con gressof the United States; and, instead of making the announcement, he informed me that, he had simultaneously received the proceedings of a meeting of the people of one of the counties composing the distiet, recommending a District Convention to nominate a Democratic candidate. Upon the recepiion of which information 1 con eluded. to take no further step in the matter tintil I could return from Washington and learn the wishes of the Democrats of the district. As to your second inquiry 1 have Only to say th tt, 1 am willing to a.qmesoe in the decision of the Democracy of the dis trict, fully and fairly expnssed. Hut whether the counties compiling the dis trict will be tepresented in the proposed Convention, to be held in Washington on the 2Sth inst., so as to reflect the senti ments of the Democracy of the. District, 1 can not yet know; therefore, cannot pledge myself to the support of the nominee of that Convention, though 1 am willing iu give my support to any intelligent gentle man who is a firm and consistent Demo crat. Respectfully your obt. servant. A. H. ARRINGTON. To Messrs. P. S. Sugg. Wm. Thigpen, Jas. b. Battle. Jesse Mercer, John Nor fleet, Win. Norfleet, Jno. S. Dancy, Da - id Barlow, James Ellinor, and Louis V. Pender. ?r thorough. 1 VA if arch, tft43 J your communication. , 1 trust that no act or word ol mine can have given to yoiij or to any person, the lightest ground for an apprehension that I yould permit my peisonal ambition to con flict with the triumph of our party. Hiv ing studiously abstained from any action which even prejudice could misconstrue. I feel sure that, no such suspicion cm exist. Supposing, therefore, that you ate1 sinrej-e-!v anxious to secure the success of our prin ciples and with that object solicitors to prevent all chance of such individual com petitors as might endanger it, I arjpte'iate your motive. You ask me two questions lt Would I accept the norriin ation of the District Convention? There is hut one correct principle in such cases, and it is this: no mm should importunately -eek, or except, for cogent rpiina decline nnblic anndtntments. No man should ihrus; himself upon the people, but if i heir f.iir, deliberate, and unbiassed judgment calls him to their service, thpn must -xist an overruling necessity to ex cuse his reftisd. About this matter, and about all such matters, I have no conceal menls. 1 have already plainly and public ly expressed my views. 1 am not capable of the affictation of professing to be indif ferent to public li mors, and I am still less capable of the gos indelicacy of seeking to bend the popular will to iavor my pre tensions. My position then is: I seek no nomination, but if Hie Convention afterdue comparison of opinions and preferences Shall believe that I can command the strong St Democratic vote in the district," 1 will obev their voice. 2nd. "If the nomin.ltion "should fall up on another gentleman, will I (you) acqui see in the nomination and support the no minee of the (on version"? Jlssuredlti I will. There should be no doubt about this, and if any exists I am anxious to remove it. I have adopted the Democratic prty for reasons totally irre spective of my own advancement, and I hope thai my pt course, humble as it has been, has furnished to that portion of the public who have done me the honor to re mark it, some evidence that 1 am not one of the thousand political Dalgellies who swarm through the country, and fihi for nay arid provender". No hones; man can belong to any party, except wish a con viction that it is based, upon those princi ples, which in the administration of the government will most advance the prospe rity of the country. Regarding the estab lishment of thoe sublime doctrines which constitute the groundwork of our political fai'h, as infinitely above the petty conflicts and j rrring inteiests of small politicians, 1 shall go with my party, whether my name or a better name be inscribed on its banner. Whatever may be the event, 1 should neglect a just debt of gratitude if i omitted this occasion to declare my obligations to ihe people of Edgecombe, for the singular unanimity with which at the last Congres sional election they case their unsolicited suffrage' for me. 1 am, with much respect, vour obedient servant, HENRY IRWIN TOOLE.
