In reply to letters from all parts of the State and Irom parties attached to all political parties, urging mo to forego my intention to retire from public life at the close of my pres ent Congressioni.l term, and to eon- sent to accept the ofllcc of gover nor, I state that if my health con tinues as good as it lias been dur ing the past winter, and if unmis takable evidences should be fur nished me that it is the will of the will of the people of Georgia that I should so servo thorn, I know of no reason that would justify me in refusing so to do. Tims the mat ter rests at present, so far as I am concerned. When naked the question wheth er I would allow my name to lie used in connection with this olllce nt tlic next election against the nomination of auothcr person li\- the Democratic State Convention to assemble on the I !ltb of .1 illy next, my uniform answer lias been “1 would not."
