ELEcToR FOR THE STATE AT LARGE
We learn from the Nashville Banner, of the
18th, that Gen. WIN. T. HASKELL, of West
Tennessee, has been selected, or recommend
ed, which, under the circumstances we suppose
is tantamount to selection, by the Wing Gen.
trail Committees forthe three Divisions of the
State, as candidate for Elector for the State
at large, to supply the vacancy occasioned by
the declension of Mr. Nelson. We had not
heard Col. Haskell's name mentioned in this
direction in connection with the post, and
expected that another, gallant and distn-
gulshed member of the party in East Ten
nessee, would have been assigned to it.
But we are not aware that it will make any
essential difference, so that the individual Sc
lected possesses the requisite abilities and tai
ents, combined with popular style of ora.
tory. These Col Haskell is said to possess
IN an eminent degree, and we have no fears
1hat the cause will suffer in his hands. The
Banner says of him:
y, He IS eloquent, bold, and argumentative,
he Is ardent and active, and the eouol if not
the superior of any democratic stnmp orator
IN tennessee. We say, bring him in the
held. We trust he will not wait a more far,
NAL summons; but will at once declare him.

with prolonged and deaiening hurrahs by the
crowds in the streets. People from .the,ad-

were difficult to determine who excelled,
though the classes in Latin, French, Geome-

in English Grammar seemed to us to mani

have rarely seen equalled by any class in any
school. The younger classes, in &c ography,
Mental Arithmetic, Grammar, Reading, &c.,
the school were far from being the least inter
esting parts of the performances, and went
far to extend the already high reputation of
the distinguished principal and his excellent
lady as teachers and disciplinarians. This in

of Mr.. Church and Lady less than two years
and has justly acquired reputation which
places it first among the best schools of the

~ 1t is not very fashionable out this
way to quote from the, N. Y. Tribune, albeit
there is more ability displayed in its columns
than any paper we know of, yet we believe
we will venture upon the following para
graph in relation to Messrs. Stephens and
Toombs That paper says:
"Nearly three, years ago, Messrs. Toombs
and Stephens boltcd from the Wing party on
the election Of Speaker of the last Congress,
and helped (by indirection) to secure the
choice of the Opposition colleague, Howell
Cobb. The combination thus originated was
found profitable and extended. A Union
party was formed in Georgia and other
States, composed Of portion of the Demo-
cratic with nearly all the Wing party, but
avowiEg not one distinctive Wing principle,
and this party elected Mr. Cobb Governor of
Georgia returned Messrs. Toombs and Ste
phens to Congress, and chose a Legislature
which made Mr.. Toombs U. S. Senator for
six years from the 4th of March next These
gentlemen have at no time since that Geor-
ga Election evinced either interest in or
sympathy with the wing party, but have uni
formiy avowed and in action exhibited their
want of faith in it. They discouraged the
sending of Delegates from Georgia to the
Wing National Convention, though they
knew the avowed and express object of so
doing was the denomination of Mr.. Fillmore
first, and the defeat of Gen. Scott any how.
They have at no time evinced any anxiety or
made any effort to secure Mr.. Fiilmore's and
defeat Gen. Scots nomination. But now that
Gen, Scott is the Wing candidate, they make
his selection their main reason for boiling

GRAND WING RALLY.-The Athens Post
has proposed, and the Knoxville Register Sc
conded the motion, to have grand Wing
ralIy in East Tennessee some time shortly.
We cordially vote for the proposition. and
concur in the opinion that Loudon is the most
suitable place for it. It is but right that our
important sister should be christened, and it
she seeks temporal good, she ought to be bap-
TIED in the Wing faith. We therefore vote
that the true Wings of the country should
have an 1910 rally at Loudon at an early

MIR. GENTRY's SPEECH AGA1N.-We re-
celVed letter last week from democrat
who has been paying subscriber to the
Post for several years, requesting us to
publish Mr.. Gentry's speech, delivered in the
j Rouse OF Representatives a few days pre-
Vious to the assembling of the Wing Nation
al Convention. We would like to accom-
modate our friend, and other democrats who
take this paper, but we cannot publish that
speech. In the first place, it is entirely too
long for our columns, and would occupy a
large space that can be filled with more in
teresting and profitable matter. In the next,
Mr.. Gentry has heretofore been firm and
consistent wing, battling gallantly for the
principles of the party, and we feel grateful
to the extent of services rendered. His late
speech will work his old friends no harm, but
will go largely towards politically destroying
It's author, and we can in no wise be instru-
mental in giving publicity to any thing that
will aid in his destruction. We have no
doubt Mr.. Gentry at this moment regrets the
step he has hastily taken, but having gone so
far he doubtless thinks turning back would be
worse than keeping on. although he sees not
the end of the dark and drearv solitude
which he has entered upon. For the reasons
above assigned, we cannot publish Mr.. c.
tfy's speech. But if our der-,ocratic frieno
will read the ssPost'' carefully during the can
Tass he will find great many documents
equally as interesting, ond ntaining quite
rs much If tn az that does. We
have not yet got fairly under way, but in a
short time expect to be able to present such
an array of evidence in favor of Gen. Scott
as we hope will induce even our friend to
turn from the errors of locofocoism and fee
the wrath that is certain to overtake all who
persist in wrong doing, SHINING against light
and knowledge. We believe he is right
in all things except politics, and as one feel
ing deep interest in his welfare, in that
sense we exhort him to repent ere it be too late
to forsake his idols and come out from
among the wicked. "Turn ye, turn we, for
why will you die??'

of the criticism. It is impossible to localize
a man of such boundless fame. When we
hear his name mentioned We do not think of
him as citizen of, any State, but as belong
ing to the whole Union. His fame is one Of
the treasures of the whole Union; his servi-
ces have been rendered not to State or sec

tional man. He has fought ali over the coun-
try, and has every where carried our flag to
victory. In Canada, Florida, and Mexico! in
youth, middle age, and old agel every where,

liant triumphs, and has advanced the American
