EDITORS : In a card published in your paper some time since, 1 accepted a nomination as candidate for School Com missioner. In the same card I stated that it was impossible for mc to canvass the Coun ty ut that time ; but that 1 would moot thc peoplp during the summer mouths at their public assemblies. Long continued illness of members of my family prevented my doing so ; and considering my very limited acquaintance with thc people I think it my duty to withdraw froiu thc contest ; ami I do so thc more readily in view of the fact that the Interests of the County can in no wiso suffer thereby, as there arc other gen tlemen, worthy in every way to dischargo thc duties of the office, seeking the same. Ml relations with these gentlemen during my brief experience in tho canvass has been of thc most pleasant nature; and although I cannot contribute to thc success of nil, I eau at least hope that they will come nut of the cainnaitni ontortidni ncr AW icindlv frolinirs f.ij* 1 each other as ? do for them all.
