Washington, on the 28th inst, had been nomi-
mated as candidate to represent the eighth con-
gressional district of North Carolina in the next
Congress of the United States, and soliciting nv
acceptance of the same


feel highly fattered at this mark of respect
and confidence, emanatlng from so intelligent and
respectable portion of my fellow-citizens, and
do not consider myselfat liberty to decline the no.
mination. Nevertheless am not unconscious of
the responsibility l assume in thus accepting it.,
and do assure you, and those you represent, that
every fair and honorable exertion shall be used on
my part, that will contribute 10 the success of
our party and theadvancement of those republican
principles which have ever cherished from nv
boyheod to the present time. In undertaking to
effect this grand Object, shall rely with conf

to their declslon no man in the community will
bow with more reverence and respect l shall
avail myself of the first opportunity TO visit eve
ry portion of the district, and will endeavor to

are others in the district who could have embod-
led that strength, and conducted you to a more
certain victory, have not the vanity to doubt
But trust there are none that could have assum-
cd this task who would possess greater attach
