 BATEsuLGe. (ARK's) May Sd, I84.

 GENTLEafEN:-Yo our favor bearing date the l7th nit, notifying me of my nomination, bY the Democratic State Convention, which met in the city of Little Rock, April 10th, I8l1, has been received, and is herewith, af- ter due and deliberate consideration, promptly answered.

 II were 10 consult my individual choice, and indeed that of my best interests, ill pe- cuniary or domestic point of view, without reference 10 the necessity of harmony for the democratic cause, throughout the State, should most assuredly decline the distinguish cd honor thus tendered me by my political friends But from every indication that has reached me from different quarters of the State, during the short period allowed me, since the Convention, to obtain correct infor- nation on this subject, trust the nomna- tions will prove satisfactory, with the eXcep- ton of some ofmy immediate friends in this portion of the Siate. whose dissatisiaetion, feel well assured, proceeds alone from the change in my nomination for the office of l Representative, to that of Executive of the State. But as the great necessity for this change, after due reflection, may become ap- parent to all who are desrous 10 effect har- mofiy and concert of action in the approach ing election, will not allow myself to doubt the undivided support of those friends, who urged my former nomination. From these considerations, most cheerfully acquiesee in the decisions of the April Convention, and will lose no time in presenting myself before the peopleas a candidate for Govemor he l State of Arkansas.

 Very respectfully,

 your obd't serv't,
