candidates on your ticket are such mor
as you may feel proud of--mcn in whose
political integrity you have the utmost
confdencc-mcn in whose ability 20 rep
resent the county faithfully and efficient
y no oac can doubt. They are men who
have always practised what they preach
ed-men who have never betrayed the con-
Gdencc of their friends nor changed their
political notions TO anSwcr political pwr-
poses.
We would here particularly remind the
voters of this county, (and what is said OF
this in this respect is also applicable to
every county in the state,) that another
and very important election is by you to
be decided on the same days (4th and 9th
of November we alludc to a Senator; for
that office r. j. Walker and S. S. Prem
tiss are the candidates, The Legislature
elects one or the other, and you elect the
Legislators; bear that in mind.
As Democrats you can be attached to
no man or MEN. We admit that man
holding one set of PRINCIPLES may do the
business ofan Office us we'll as if he held
another set; but we do hold that enc set
of principles will not act as advantageous
Iy for the community as another. There
fore you will, as democrats, reject every,
thing like man-worship. and show your
selves attached only to principle. That
principle too which has drawn Tennessee,
Indiana, North Carolina, &c. from tn, do
minion Of federalism land by adhcring To-
which, and in its success, we conscien-
tiously believe the perpetuity of our be-
loved institutions depend.
1t is idle and ridiculous for men to say
they are attached to no party. Those
who are not for us are against us, and none
such can secure the support OF a conscien-
tlous and good democrat. Depend upon
it,thec are wolves in sleeps clothing,

"GEN. BRowN ws arc personally acquainted ,cih
md look upon him as man Of SOUND MIND, res
osctGble talents and as being endured ,1ih more
nantinesS and independence than rs usual for The
Marty He Is a BOLD, HONEST, UPRIGHT POLITE
JIAN." ~
The above is the language of ]. J. GRAVES,
who served in tho Legislature two sessions
with Gen. BRowN and of course knows him
we'll. When such a man as ho--a ri0lent fea- |
rahSt-one too who is seldom known to speak,
veil of any one, especially an opponent in pol.
tics--is forced into such declaration, there
must be something great in the character that
orces it from him. GRAVES is one of the
edcral candidates for the Legislature from this |
county, and the author of the Slanderous let |
crs from Jackson last winter and the winter
before. He is the same man who traduced the |
Governor and others because they were demo-
,rats-he is a nominal state rights man-goes
or Clay and United States Bank, aud sup.
ports all tho federal measures-consequontl
s the political opponent Of Gen, Brown.
We record the above to show what even his
political enemies in this part say of one of our
candidates for Congress. In the laguago of
GRAVES, she IS A BOLD, HONEST, UP.
RIGHT POLITICIAN
For one, we never placed much confidence in
]. ]. GRAVES word, nor his moral or political
honesty; and always received his statements
with much caution, but the wings will take
him as authority, and giving testimony in favor
of an opponent, the democrats will also give
him credence.
Can any Democrat say that Bingaaen as a
botd, honest and upright politician" Dare any
wing who has reputation to loose say as much
for him! AS for Darts, poor fellow, VIC scarce
ly ever hear his name in these parts"
Democracy STILL TRIUMPHANT.-In Maine,
Gov. Fairfield, the democratic candidate has
been reelected by an increased maiority, togcth
or with enlarged majoritios in both branches of
the Legislature.
The Portland Courier, a federal paper, of the
10th ult., admits that the election in Maine has
gone in favor of the democrats by larger ma.
