!. The request OF the author, we copy from The
,rchtur. Republican the following cominunica-
a-aI lie same time regretling 10 see such
i .. things in The Republican ranks. The
ass may not run candidates-but We confess
:aave not much confidence in their holding Off
',y have not generally been 50 scrupnlous in
ang their opponents have a "lair fight" among
-o.,eyes. This general squabtlins in uurown
aiy in franklin is calculated 10 have an inju-
!, effect upon its future harmony and union.
W.- il no. TOO late, We should invoke our friends
Franklin 10 prepare Tor the worst, and to agree
L.ea,so candidates alone-Asit is, we have only
hope mai 'Cuniucus" may not he too sansuine

L,o disabuse the public mind Of some impress
ahs which had been made relative 10 the con-
Patton, and to ask The people TO suspend their
:aions upon the question, till They had heard
sides OF 1t argued. He also adverted 10 the
Oiiiion of the party, the number of candidates
ore the people, and the impolicy Of attempting
heal the heart-burnings and dissatisfaclions
zach would follow an expression ola preference
'any Two of them; and concluded by declaring
