DICK JOHNSON'S LETTER. Sis: From a.great number of utters received by ine from various sections of our country, I fiad a difference of opinion exists as to the ground I occupy relative to the canvass for the offices! of President and Vice Presideut of the United States. And I find as great a diversity of opinion among my friends as to the course 1 should adopt some advising that under no ciicutiisitaiiees, should I permit my name to he usicd ibi the Vice' Presidency other advising that 1 should not submit my name t. the decision of a National Conventioinnd the most numerous expressing a wish that I should accept the nomination lor the oflico of Vice President, provided a majority of the Delegates to the National Convention should think proper to select me as a candidate for the Vice Presidency, after preferring another "Tor the oliice of President. " In January, 1S12, 1 was nominated at Frankfort Kentucky," for the Presidency, by amass mooting, composed of the Democratic citizens of the Legislature aud citizens of that State, subject to the decision of the National Convention. In January 1$13, I was nominated for the same office by as State democratic convention at Frankfort Kentucky, composed of five hundred delt ates,sub- - jsct to the decision of. National convention. I was afterwards again nominated by a subsequent State democratic convention, composed of more than five hundred delegates, for the same, subject to the same condition. Each of these nomination? were unanimous. In January, IS 13, the Democratic State Convention of Indiana called upon me, in common with others, to know if I were willing to abide the decision of a National Convention; and, further, if I would sustain the nominations of that convention for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States? , My answer to these interrogatories was without equivocation, which was that I would support the nominees. I have no reason to change that determination; but, on the contrary, hare good - reasons for being confirmed in my opinion as to the necessity of adhering to my resolution, to ensure the triumph of the democratic party.- I intend to redeem my pledge faithfully, without respect to persons t Subject to the foregoing conditions, I have permitted my name to be placed before the public, and the National Convention to be

held at Baltimore on the fourth Monday of May next, lor the oluce ot President. 1 need not consume time, in referring to my nomination for the oiliee-of President, by friends of Other Slates than Kentucky. No matter how flittering these demonstrations of i.i: - c 1 . . . ii i" ii ii puuuc commence, a;i oi wincu are uuiy appreciated,) my assenting to their wishes was not predicated upon, the consideration that I was nominated for the first office; my assent to their tiermission of the use of my name would have been equally as sincere and cordial for the office of Vice President. I am now, as I ever have been, identified with the Democratic party. I never expect to change that identity. The success of the measures of that party are too dear to me to be jeoparded by &uy selfish co&siderataoHa on my part; and, therefore, I ask nothing, and expect nothing, at the hands of the Convention, that will iu any manner injure or hazzard tHw common cause. If the convention, in their wisdom, should consider the use of my name lor the first or second office, or fjr neither, as advisable, my acquiesence is heartily given. ' To such of my fellow-citizonsas are nominating me for the office of the Vice Presidency in advance of the meeting of the Baltimore Convention, my thanks are due, and cheerfully given. It does not become me to condemn an honest difference of opinion among my friends, or to take part in favor of i the onesidc.against the other in their friendly fjons to procure my nomination for the of-' "rice of President or Vice President. And as I could do nothing, consistent with my political pledges, inhis respect, without giving dissatisfaction to some of them, the National Convention, Where a majority will rule, must dispose of mej and decide he controversy between them. . In the meantime, let every one be 'fully persuaded in his own mind, and act accordingly; and no cause of complaint can exist with any, or against auy. I wish, of course to give no cause of offence, to my ftiends, whether they prefer me for th fust office or theseco'nd- I hope they will readily yield up their preference to a majority in the National Convention, no matter how adverse to their views or wishes. I shall pursue this course, and exhort to every friend I have to do likewise, in order to secure harmony and the united efforts of the party. I repeat,between my friends my position is that of neutjality, until t'feconVention shall act and dispose of me ; in the meantime I am in the hands of the people. Should it be the pleasure of the Convention to nominate me . for the office, I EhouM accept the honor with gratitude and reluctance. I should .accept of the second'with thanks and with pleasure, and am willing to take rny position among the rank and file, if such be the pleasure of the Convention without a murmur. Wherever I may be placed: I shall trv aii animate my associates to do what I consider our du ty to our country; and, having ihua discharged it, according to our conscience, we will hope for victory. - R. M. JOHNSON." January 23, 1814. A letter from Washington says: "The President withholds the nomination of Mr. , Cushing from the Senate, well knowing that ho would be rejected on account of the illegality of his appointment, to say nothing else of other objections. . At. the close of the session, or by the time his mission is about concluded he xcttl f!s4trbrgKirtt.m'-

Resigned to his Fate. TheMadisonian gives expression to the convictions of the White House circle in the following style: Mr. Clay's election to the Piesideucy is now an inevitable result. We fold our arms and have nothing to do with the victory or defeat." " ' . ' What philosophic composure!

Nullification' Nullified.' The following passage in the address of Mr. Calhoun, which wc published last week, must . have created no little surprise among his friends, and as a contemporary remarks, cannot but

be hailed by the fast friends of the Constitu tion as a signal triumph of truth and reason over the herse ry of Nullification : "That which they have urged with the greatest confidence is, that each State has a right to appoint Delegates as she pleases. I meet it, by utterly denying that there is any such right. That eacli State has a right to act as she pleases, in whatever relates to hself exclusively, no one will deny; but it is a perfectly novel doctrine that any State has such a right when she comes to act in concert with others in reference to what concerns the whole. In such cases it is the plainest dictate of common sense that whatever concerns the whole should be regulated by the mutual consent of all, and not by the discretion of each. A New Mode. Thomas Cooper the vet eran tragedian, says this was his mode of curing children from crying: "When my children were young and began to cry, I always dashed a glass of water in their face, and that so astonished them that they would leave off; and if they began again, I'd dash another, and keep on in creasing the dose till they were entirely cured." ; COMMUNICATED. To the Editor of the Evansville Journal. Sin: The time is fast approaching when it will be necessary for the people lo choo'stTbetweeii Whig principles, confidence and prosperity on the otic haud, and' Locofocoism, stagnation of business, universal distress and degradation on the other. And the time has now arriv? ed, when we should begin toconsidet at least, of the means by which we may secure a decision in favor of the principles we advocate., I am decidedly in favor of holding Conventions to nominate Candidates for Senators and, Representatives and to fill the county offices, ns one means well calculated lo secure sncli a decision. I have no doubt whatever, nor has any oHe who knows anything about the politics of this county, that the whigs have it ii. their power to elect whom they please, aud I have as little doubt that the Whins of the Union have it equally within their power to elect Henry C lay. Ali that is required is such an organization, of the whigs as will ensure unanimity and harmony of action, and enable them to bring their whole strength to bcarupon the proper point.There is no way in which such an organization cuti be effected but by holding public meetings iu townships, counties and districts, and making the proper compromises and arrangements to secure harmony. Compromise is the grand object of conventions. They are held in order, to ascertain what individuals are most fit to fill the offices, and which of them will probably be the choree of a majority of the people. If A.B. and oil .professing the same, principles, are candidates, or wish to be, and D. is also a candidate professing different principles, and A. B. and C. can get two hundred votes . each, while D. can get two hundred and twenty-five, would D. be the choice of a majority? Suppose he should run against either of the others alone, is it not certain that he would be defeated by a large majority? And can any one be so foolish as to refuse to take a second choice when he knows he cannot have the first, and prefer the election of the most objectionable candidate of all, rather than to abandon his first choise,of whose election there is no hope? That conventions are in tended to dictate to the people is not true, .li they dictate to any one, they dictate to a few individuals who want offices, a nd say to them "we do" or 'f do not want your services". It is a cry always set on foot by those whc-wnii offices, or their freinds,aud who know they can not get the nomination of an intelligent convention of me-n chosen and instructed by the people in tiicir cool aispassiorate moments, when, uninfluenced by the excitement of party feeling aud personal preferences, they act solely with a view to the general good. Such aspirants for office, always endeavor to create excitement, discord and disunion, with the hope that by di viding their enemies, contention among them may be the cause of their defeat and theelection ot themselves, who could not possibly be elected if opposed by any single candidate. None, so far as I ant a ware, except aspirants for office, will oppose conventions to nominate candidates for Senator and Representative to the State Legislature, for this year in particular, because we. have a United States Senator to elect next winter. As to nominations tor ' county offices the case is somewhat different. Although I believe a majority of those who actively oppose them, want offices, or have friends who do, and are afraid some one else would be nominated, yet,' there are some good honest wings, perhaps, who want no office, and are only desirous to have the offices filled with competent and faithful men.' If there be such disinterested objectors, I believe it is because they have not duly considered the matter, aud ore rather disposed to. adhere, vt ithout turthei investigation, to opinions formed at other times and under -different circumstances. To such I would say two heads are better than one that those who want offices are prone to place too high an estimation upon themselves, and that a convention, composed of from 30 to 75- old, permanent, substantial and intelligent citizens, is more likely to select good men as - candidates, aud t tho offices are more ikelv to be filled with faithful public servants, thaawhea every fellow who is too lazy to work or pursue any laborious calling, and wants lo get his head in the public crib, becomes a candidate without being asked, and," industriously trumpeting his own abilities andgreat virtues presutifptudusTy asks'you'to "endorse:" hia" statements with "regard "taJiimdelfl Every man should wait till he is asked to be a candidate; and tf his habits," his manners, his talent s,and his moral worth are such as . entitle him ta. public confidence, his neighbors will in due season find it out and speak of it, - ; Ask any one who objects to nominations for county officers why he does so, and his answer will be, substantially, that h does not think it.

right that county offices have nothing la do with State or national politics, and we ought to let all run who wisii to, and select from among them the be9t men without reference to their

politics. JNoneoi the objectors con give a uecter reason than this if you should catchise them for a month. I think 1 hove shown that by such a course wc are not likely to elect the best'men, or at least that the majority are not likely to have their choice. It only remains to inquire whether tlje election of county officers has not something to do with State and national politics. Abstractly considered, it makes very little difference whether a whig or locofoco administers in a county office, for competent and faith ful men may be found in either party in abund ance; but considered with relation to the effect it may have upon the Presidential election and elections to Congress, the question whether a whig or a locofoco shall fill such an office becomes important. ; Does any one. doubt that such elections, taking place in August, do affect the Presidential election in November? Those who entertain sueh a doubt know but very little of human' nature, and must hava been very inattentive observers of political even ts. For what reason is it that the newspapers are filled, on the eve of a Presidential election with accounts of the "Glokious Teiumphs" of a party, in counties cities, townships, and even the smallest villages'! Why does "Chapman crow" over such small matters? It is because these successes in smart districts afford strong evidence that the party has the power to succeed 'in a larger district, composed of many small ones;1 and it encourages and fjls with hope every member of the party, and makes of him an active and energetic laborer in the cause. And the cpurage and confidence with which he enters into the centest, alone serve iu some measure to damp the ardor and destroy the confidence of his opponent, and render him entirely inactive, or cause him to act reluctantly and feebly, and in such a manner as to show, despite all assumed appearances of confidence, that he has himself but little if any hope of success. Convince n man that he cannot do a thing and he will never attempt it, nor will he advise or solicit others to make the attempt. This everyone knows, and it holds as well "with regard to elec.ions as other things. Should the Locofocos in August next succeed in fniing a large majority of the county offices with their friends, would it not convince many and go far towards satisfying many more, that the State mu3t go for the locofocos? Such would undoubtedly be the effect, and thousands of whigs who would otherwise be active and enthusiastic supporters of the cause, would become disgusted and retire disheartened from the field, and retreat to their fire-sides to deplore the fate, of their country, when Jjie evil is past all edy. . - Then let us begin now while we have time, and do clean work as we go. Let us in our march cut off all the detached parties of our enemies. Having done this,. when we attack their main body,ieadto battle by their commander-in-chief, we will have nothing to divide our attention or forces, but we will be enabled, bs one man, to exert our whole energy in the accomplishment of the one grandjObject, r - Let us do this and victory is certain; but if we enter into the contest unprepared, without arrangement, without order, disunited and without compromise and mutual concessions, we shall again be cursed with an accidental President from which calamity may God deliver us, is the earnest prayer of one w ho is, in his whole length and breadth, and from the centre to the surface in every direction, A TRUE WHIG.
