As for ourself, we shall pursue the sseyen tenor of our way" and where, in our opinion, the De- legate's course deserves censure, we shall be sure to give it--and where 1t merits praise, we shall be the last to withhold from him the just need of appreciation.

 The following communication from BEN NET H. MARTIN, Esq. was unayoidably omit ted last week.

 MEMPHIS, Ten. June l, 1885. To tlte Editor of Inc ,aduocate;

 Sir:-My name has been announced, through the medium of your paper, as a candidate to represent the county of Craw- ford in the next General Assembly of our Territory. Through the same medium 1 would wish to say to the ciazens-of Craw- ford, that l have declined holding poll for that honorable station. Domestic bereave- ments of so melancholy a nature have oc- cured, thai, in justice to my feelings, could not mix and interchange opinions to sufficient extent 10 justify the citizens of Crawford county in coming to aproper com cluslon as to my views upon subjects ofthe utmost importance 10 them at this most in- portant crisis. In withdrawing my name as candidate, I would tender my acknoW- Judgements for past favors and honors con terfed, and most heartily wish Gas no doubt they will, that they may select one of her many talented citizens who Is able and bet ter qualified to serve them than myself.

 Very respectfully, your friend,

 And obedieut servant,

 B. H. MARTIN.
