Another case Of Erecutipe Interference,
Nth Elections

AT The last Congressional Election in
tennessee, in the Lincoln District, there
were two Loco Foco candidates. Col
kincannon and Mr.. A. V. Brown.
Both refused to back out, and manifest
ed very great eagerness for martyrdom
Tor as there was only one Wing out,
and his election pretty certain, under
any circumstances, there was not the re >.
tmotest chance for Loco Foco. with a
divided vote. kincannon and Brown.
however. held on for long time. But
suddenly and contrary to every body s
expectations, kincannon magnanimous.
ly surrendered his pretensions, refused
TO stand any longer in the way OF Brown,
and entered upon d fine, fat office, the gift
of President Van Buren,.
The vanity OF Col Polk has recently
revealed the PARTICULARS of The affair.
10 show the people how high he stood
at W ashineton with The oflice>dispensing
Power, he stated in public address
That he procured the appointment for
Col. Kincannon and sent him the COM.
mission. The Executive only listen.
ed to his presentations, and followed
his directions He thought it important
TO buy of one of the candidates, he told
the President so, the President agreed
with him, and the thing was forthwith
done.
This is another fulflmento OF the Jack
son pledge Of Withholding Executive
patronage from Influencing the freedom
OF elections, and constitutes another res

aG-The scheme. so long agitatei, for
supplying our town with water, by
means OF iron pipes, we are pleased TO

during the last week, making the ne

the respective committees appointed for
the purpose. to put the work under cons
tract. The water is to be brought from
spring on the land Of Mr. John Paris,
a distance Of one mile and three quarters,
"a source sufficiently high to carry it
over the whole town. The cost TO the
Corporation ~ estimated at about ten
thousand dollars. This Improvement
when completed. will render our vii

ever other appendage he pleases, such
as dairy for his milk aud butter, baths,

day that comes, and say whether we
will not be glorious people-when our
water works are finished Then there
is, besides, the security we will enjoy
from fires itself an important consider
atioa, as the property destroyed within
a few years would have been more than
sufficient TO pay the whole cost Of the
work. But even this is not all. We

town. How many delightful residen
