Wii, A. W'Ai.LArr., Ksj.
MylhiirStr: Your favor cf t'ne
Tith inst., reached mo three days since,
and should ha had an earlier response,
but we have had Mich stirring times in
camp ever since, with flag presentations,
roviews, nnd expeditions to repel threat
ened nt tacks upon our line, that I have
not had a moniont until now that I could
devote to the consideration of the sub
ject.
I 'io announcement ol a probable vacan
cy on the Democratic Legislative ticket in
our District, came to me very nnexpected-
ly indeed. We sre so nearly cut olt trom
the common avenues of information, that
events transpiring even close around sel
dom reach oureurs until they have been
almost forgotten in civil ciicles. From
the time I learned the result of the St.
Mary's Conference, for a-hich, by the way,
I wh." fully prepareil, although some of my
friends were sanguine of a dillerent one,
I gave tho matter no farther thought, ex
cept ns regarded the success of tho ticket
at tho coming election. Ik-fore answering
vour interrogatory, whether in the event
of a vacancy on the Democratic ticket for
the Legislature becoming certain, I would
accept the nomination and serve if elected,
lot me express niy appreciation ot the
high compliment paid me by the tenor of
your request, as well as my senso of my
unworlhiness. Helieve me, I (hall eve
regard the confidence evinced in me by
yourself and numerous othei friends in
Clearfield county, as the highest honor I
could receive.
From the time I first learned that thro'
the partiality of my fr iends 1 had been se
lected by the Democracy of my adopted
county af their candidate for the Legisla
ture, until 1 was apprized of tho action of
tho Conferees, I had constantly been at a
loss what course to pursue should I hap
pen to be one of the successful candidates
in the Conference, and at the polls the
former 1 could not I ut regard as u very
remote contingency. I could not have
made up my mind to leave this service,
even temporarily, as long as the war con
tinued, unless it might have been during
the retirement of the armies of the Gov
ernment to winter nuar'ers, or a cessation ' iprSi
of hostile operations. L nder sucli cir- ar)(i under the eyes, or rather the noses.ol , (laieg endorsed them, and hearinc of noth
