Having this day accepted situation In the service
of the General Government at Washington City, l
deem my duty to inform you that therefore, shall
not again be candidate for Congress and take this
method of rendering my sincere thanks to those friends
in different portions Of the district who by letters, as
well personal solicitations desired to present
my name for reelection.


With constitution naturally feeble, and health re-
Gently much impaired find the labor and agitation
of political life fast wearing out and am admon-
ished of the necessity Of seeking such employment
as will enable to provide competence for declin
ing life. This temporary separation from my friends
and neighbors is painful one. At present my NOM
inal residence will be in Washington but snail
ever regard Indiana, the State of my adoption and
the birthplace Of my children, as my home. The
cherished recollection of the many acts of friendship,
of personal and political favors have received al
your hands, shall still cluster around heart, against
which the charge of ingratitude never made. In
the many and exciting party contests, through which
it has been my lot to pass, l may sometimes have
given offence IF so, sincerely regret it. Offence:
against me shall not be remembered they were writ
ten in sand which the waves of time have WASHED
out


My career as a member Of Congress is forever a
an end. trust you may in your wisdom elect one
ardently attached to the great principles of democ
racy, who will serve you with more ability and sue
cess than have DONE None, l feel assured, b'
more devoted TO your interests than he who now bid
you farewell WM J. BROWN.
