ause I have seen this morning that one of the leading journals of the day, the "Richmond Enquirer," has assailed my claims to the suffrages of the people of Richmond, upon the ground that I have "avowed coercion in its most odious form," and for this relies upon an isolated sentence extracted from a dinner speech, made on a social occasion, at the hour of three o'clock in the morning. Now, on this occasion, I did not discuss or allude to the question of coercion, and it does so happen that the subject of coercion has never been an issue of discussion in any canvass in which I have been engaged.--Those, however, who have ever heard me speak upon the subject in private, know that it is a doctrine to which I have always been opposed, as I am now. Why it is that I am one of the first to be assailed, I do not know. Whether I will make for you a proper representative, I leave to my fellow-citizens of Richmond. Very respectfully, Marmaduke Johnson. Richmond, Jan. 25, 1861. ja 26--1t*

r business qualifications, and your personal intercourse with the people of Henrico, think you qualified to represent their wishes. Please inform the public whether you will consent to represent us in the Convention.--We respectfully request you to give your views upon the questions which the Convention is called to determine. As the time is short, we hope you will lose no time in replying to our wishes. Many Voters of Henrico County. Henrico, Jan. 20, 1861. Richmond, Jan. 25th, 1861. To Many Voters of Henrico County. --At the kind and earnest solicitation of many friends, who, in the last few days, have been urging me to consent to allow my name to be used as a candidate, from the county of Henrico, for the approaching Virginia Convention, I hereby announce to my friends that, if they shall think proper to elect me, I will serve them in all fidelity, and with all the ability I possess. As the election is near at hand, and there may be no opportunity to expre

ng the controversy. It is not appropriate or adequate to any legitimate or desirable end. Should the Government perversely attempt it, the fable of shearing the wolf would fully illustrate the folly and wantonness of her counsels. The States should be brought back, if haply they may, by concessions alone; and these being yielded in the proper quarter, an appeal to them from the border States, wherein Virginia. I hope, would be conspicuous, could not tail of conciliating influence. I have thus, in baste, referred to the points whereon, I presume, you might desire my opinions, and these, as they may be modified by supervening events, I should carry to the Convention, if so high an honor be in reserve for me, with an engrossing solicitude to respond to my solemn duties as may be best for the honor, progress, glory of the Commonwealth. Again thanking you for your friendly consideration, I am, very respectfully, yours, Wm. H. Macfarland. Richmond, Jan. 25, 1861. ja 26--1t

the Convention by presenting a candidate. This is proper. I only wish an abler and more enlightened man than myself could have received the nomination. It is a fact undisputed, that the honor, never before enjoyed by the Opposition, of securing the electoral vote of this State, was attributable entirely to the "Douglas men," Why, then, should they be now overlooked, in the very first effort at conservative action, rendered necessary by the recent Presidential election? I will do all in my power to see that your rights are properly respected and duly considered. I accept with diffidence in my own abilities, but with an honest and grateful heart, the important trust you have reposed in me, and have only to say, in addition to what I expressed in my recent letter to you, that I am seriously in favor of referring the action of the Convention back to the people, for their revision. Very respectfully, your fellow-citizen, John H. Gilmer. Richmond, January 25, 1861. ja 26--1t

A card. --Messrs. Editors: In this morning's Dispatch we perceive our names affixed to a card calling on Messrs. Macfarland, Johnson, and Botts, to announce themselves as candidates for the State Convention.--When we signed this card we had no idea that we were calling on the Hon. John Minor Botts for his nomination. We have not the least objection to Messrs. Johnson and Macfarland, but we do not wish our names attached to any list calling on Mr. Botts to represent our feelings in this great cause of our State. Andrew Pizzini, F. McCARTHY, Juan Pizzini.
