My Dear Sir: I have at your request re- oonoidered my ditersiimtion, as announced to you, declining your tender of the office of Governor of the Territory cf Kansas. In view of the opinion now presented by you, that the safety of tbe Union may depend up on the selection of the individual to whom shall be assigned the task«f setting the dif ficulties which again surround the Kansas question, I have concluded that a solemn sense of duty to my country requires me to accept this position. I am brought to this conclusion with an unaffected diffidence in my own ability, but with a fervent hope that the same overruling Providence which has carried my beloved country through so many perils, will now attend apd direct my bumble efforts for her welfare, and that my course will not be prejudged by any portion of my fellow citizens, in or out of Kansas. I understand that you, and all your cabi net cordially concur in tbe opinion express ed by me, that the actual, bona fide residents of the Territory r.f Kansas, by a fair and regular vote.unaffected by fraud or violence, must be permitted, iu adopting their State Constitution, to decide for themselves what shall be their social institutions. This is tbe great fundamental principle of the act of Congress organizing that Territory, af firmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, and is in accordance with the views uniformly expressed by me throughout my To OUr Friends. the solvency of the bank.

Another amendment of the Constitu tion proposed is to bold annual sessions of the Legislature. These an both important amendments and should be discussed by the people before the election of oor next members to tbe Legislature. The amendment proposing to abolish tbe present Inferior Court and electing a coun ty judge for each oounty, seems to ua ought to meet with universal approbation. Our Inferior Court, as present organized, is cer tainty of less use, commands less respect, and does as little good to tbe country as any tribunal that ever existed Tbe Judges of that court iu all tbe counties that we know anything about are high minded, intelligent men, with very few exceptions, but the very organization of the court itself wholly de stroys its efficiency and utility. As to annual sessions of the Legislature, we are decidedly in favor ■ of them, an less they lengthen the time of the sessions and increase the legislation of the State, which we think will not be the case, not as much so as at present. The last session will never be immediately after a State election, and the members not having come fresh from the political field will labor more for the good of the people than of the party.

Editor of the Standard : Permit me, through the columns of yonr paper, to make a few suggestions and drop a few thoughts in regard to candidate maltinc: for the next Legisla ture of the State of Georgia. The public mind in Cass connty is very much agita ted and i? running to a high pitch a: present, ill regard to some local issues or issue, which 1 presume is well under stood, of which I shall sav nothing. Therefore it becomes the Democratic party of Cass county to be wise and look well to the principles and interests of the party, before going info a nomination, and centre upon men for tbeir candidates of ability, firmness and honesty, and who will watch over the interests and be most likely to represent the views of the peo ple of the whole county. One of these men, I am well satisfied, can be fonnd in the person of Dr. J. C. Sims. He has been a citizen of this county for eight years, and I have been a close observer of his course; and independent of his tal ent and high order of usefulness os a physi cian, he has other qualities, which caused me tbe more to admire bis public conduct. Bold, macly and fearless in the discharge of any duty that is incumbent upon him, he is actuated by no other motive than his own sound judgment: neither truckling to the dictates of a disgusting expediency, nor pan dering to the groveling tastes of a miserable demagoguism I therefore honestly hope and believe that Dr, Sims will get the unan imous nomination ns one of the candidates for the representative branch of the next Legislature of the State of Georgia. He is known to be a firm and staunch Democrat, ever willing and ready to do battle for bis friends when they have engraved indellibly on tbeir characters tbe time honored name of Democracy.
