Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1851-06-10
The First Monday,

court DAY, quite a large number OF
the citizens Of the county assembled
in town. And as soon as the bust
ness Of the court would admit, all
were entertained by speeches from
the candidates for the Legislature
1Eqj., Carte', Of Franklin, the candi-
date for the Senate, was for the first
time, iavored.With an opportunity Of
addressing SO large a number Of our
citizens on political subjects. The
greater portion Of his speech was de-
voted to discussion OF the Compro-
faise-which he endorses throughout:
On State policy he ,sas sufficiently
explicit to enable al to understand
his position on the most prominent
questions likely to engage the ate Il
ton Of the next Legislature.
The candidates for Floater were
next on dockot-1l-. Gillespie tax
ing the stand first. He, too, had
much to say Of the Compromise
taking the same position as that oc-
Icurie4 by lEql; O. On State policy
their views concurred. Next came
CaYt. HUI, who arose, he said, not
10 make speech, but to settle, il
possible, the conflicting claims for
The station to which he aspired. Be
i ing informed OF Esq. G.!lssFie's prop
osition that each candidate Should
Feleot three friends, and that all the
persons thus selected should counsel
| together and determine who Of their
humber should be the democratic
candidate, he was ready and wiling,
he said, to abide the result of such
/ adjustment as these friends would
fix upoa; and after some delay, moth
ing being dore, he PROCEEDED to give
briefly his views on State and Fed
eral poliey-which were about the
same as those already ezDressed.-
Then came Esq. SQ5ate}sai, who al
'ticipating no speeches from his op-
lponents, confined his remarks to the
plan fog reducing iho, number Of
.catbdiidatqs already alluded to-
He said lie lad his friends pres
ent, and was ready to meet the
proposition and comply With it
Dr. WaJl9n said he was ready and
willing, and called upon ESq. GsNcs-
pc to know what Should be doae
with lis proposition; Who replied that
be was III the hands Of his friends
This, aite4 few saiHes of wit, endcd
tho effort pt q settlement. On the
heels Of tbs difficulty arose pr. Hull,
the whig candidate, who, in a few
pertinent remarks, avowed his graft
lication at finding bis democratic OPP
pcnents ii such complete confusion
and discord. He trusted he would
succeed in beating them all in Au-
gust neXt.
The candidates for Representative
next took the stand, and hey con
sumed ABOUT two be rs with Their
talk-wAifA was conGn ed to the Com
promise, AID questions growing cut
of it. TIIe most interesting feature
was the eiiort Of III. 0hIcs TO define
what he desired the people 20 under:
stand bis position to be on the Com
promise measures, and Gen. Iel-
qahwSoa's determination to he'd him
10 bis form Ter secession position. lie
charged III. c. with doing injustice
to Gor. I,fousdqIe, in attempting to.
ride into Office On the IroasltQts
platform, without first Kidding himself
Of bis former EXPRESSED predictions
lor secession. The Gqa, said he
would rot permit Coz. T'oua4ale to
be classaa nth disunionists, OF those
who would disturb tho Compromise
measures.
