SENATOR THURMAN'S EMPHATIC DECLARATION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5—Senator Thurman will not determine, until to-morrow whether he will attend the Democratic celebration at Columbus, Ohio, on the 8th inst. He will do so if the weather moderates so as to render travelling less disagreeable than now, and in such case he will leave Washington to-morrow night for that city. The theme assigned to him is "The Jackson Democracy," and to this subject he says he would devote his remarks, without discussing the financial question. He would also give the reason why he does not desire his name to be used as a candidate for the Governorship of Ohio, as has been predicted for him.

The Senator is free and emphatic in the declaration that under no possible circumstances will he allow his name to be thus used, and of this determination he has advised numerous prominent Democrats in Ohio, who have written to or orally communicated with him upon the subject.
