plan IN order to settle the question as to
whose claims are paramount 10 others. or
who are the most available.
am informed that The nropositi,n ddes

the candidates, nor IS it believed that me
hard listed farmers Of Coosa are w;lIino m
leayeaheir plough handles to bestow their

every Two years. As a lover of harmony
among't tne democracy, and the oldest re-
sldent OF the county, {save one, j, with the
utmost due difference, beg leave 10 propose
the following plan TO be adopted BY the
candidates, in order 10 bring about recon>

among their friends.

three men of his Beat, who are in no wise
connected with him by affinity or consan.

Court House on day to be set apart for

This pan can be carried out, BY consent
OF the candidates, without giving the peo-
rle the trouble which would attend the one
YOU were heretofore pleased 10 propose. and

in the bosoths Of our candidates to abide
such issue-and that those who NAV NOT
have the good fortune to be thus selected 10
run, will put their shoulders to The wheels
of the good old car Of democracy, and move
onward 10 victory +!
Should there be any amongst Them WIN

have conyersed with many old and well
tried democrats, and all appear mortified
md chngrined on account Of the IN esent
state Of lhings-7 democrats and 9 v bits

entering the arena. Now, Mr.. Editor.
since youare rot only the "Sta,e Gnard.j

n ocracy. il behooves you TO urge with I'M
firing zeal, the necessity Of an abatement
among the candidates. Lei me here re-
mind you Of the Battalion Muste-. which
takes ace al Mark e. Moore's on the 10th
Of July next, whrrei, is expected that ali
our candidates will be thrown together:
what a golden opportunity vii. be offered
to them there TO show their chivslry. and
their love Of parry. Il is not nv desire 10
dictate TO the candidates, l,y saying who
ought or who ought not to run, far. very far
from it-they are all freemen nevertheless.
lett be rem mbered that there are ma.y
who have toiled for years 10 building up
and keeping together the democratic party
Of old Coosa, who wU nerer consent to
aid or abet the do,onfaU thereof BY their
roice or their Uofes.
Very respectfully, yours &c.
A DEMOCRAT.
