Stamping the State.

The subject Of stumping the
State by the candidates Cor Govern
Of, is exciting some interest, aDd be-
ing discussed by portion of the
public press. Good an d satisfactory
reasons are offered on both sides
why the practice of stu mping should
be kept up, and why it should be dis
continued. For our part, we would
be satisfied either way--w ha t :
ever course may be agreed upon
which is regarded most likely to
prove efficient in the furtherance Of
the political principles we advocate,
shall receive our hearty sanction.
Yet, we confess brief review of the
matter has impressed us with the
propriety ofaba adjoining the practice.
Generally speak king, we do not be-
lieye that the guternatorial candi-
dates convince many, if any, Of their
error, 50 far a ; TO induce change of
political action The attendance at
the speakings is made up usually of
those who are G nfrmcd in tbeirpo-
litie;ll faith -ofkthose who are not
"open TO convi ction," but Sho at
tend merely I'd get their political
strength renew ed-of professional
politicians, who attend to catch a
new an gument, If possible, that viii

chimney-cornd r debate. The ma
jor portion of the sturdy yeomanry

those who do the v Oting seldom
give their after tion TO those deus
sions; their cirfumsth noes, perhaps,
are not such as to jus fifty the loss Of
time from bus mess, or thousand
other causes ma y keep them aw ay-
so it is, they id mt at lend. Besides,
it is imposing a heavy task upon the
N
candidates. To canvass Tennessee
throughout its length and breadth,
in the summer month";, rain or shine,
making sp4echf IS slmd st daily, to all
sorts of crowds, requires constitu-
lion made of iron, and even that
would be shattered d OF a little
Then, too, it is very expensive. A
man Of moderate circu instances, With
a family to SUPPORT DO matter how
well qualified, or how ambitious he
might be for honors- would be very
10th, if he considered v ell the obiga
tions he was under to himself and to
those who were Deepen lent upon him
for subsistence, to accept position
involving 50 much Ia Dor, exposure,
and porhap ; without re-
ward, for one Of the candidates must
necessarily be defeated.
It appears to US that as good a
plan as any would be for the candi-
dates to stay at home, and give their
-giews on the points at issue in print
The people could then examine these
at their leisure, come to conclu-
sion after reflection, and vote ad-
yisedly. BY this maans-that is,
through the instrumentality Of the
Press-it appears to Us, that intel
Iigence can be disseminated more eff
1ectnaliy than III any other way 1t
has always seemed that if labor

the man who canvasses the whole of
Tennessee during the months Of June
and July, is entitled to the office ef

sr Tie following tribute Of re-
spect to our fellow citizen, john NJ.
BRIaHT, Esq, is from the Winchester
Independent. Every word is true:
I'VE have seen the names of many
distinguished men mentioned in con-
nection with Ihe Governorship, but
among them |all, we have seen none
whom we would support with more
cheeifuIness than JOHN Nj. BRIGHT,
Esq, OF Lincoln. We believe that
MIR. B. is the man for the crisis
the man who could unite our whole
strength and on the stump, could
show up whi$sery in its true light,
and make it Hook hideous indeed.
Ills bland and winning manners, his
thrilling cloqhence, and his pure,
nn:arDishe4 character, would in our
opinion, insure his election over any
man that could be brought forward
by the opposite party. He possess
IS all the traits requisite to insure
victory to tue democracy At The ap-
preaching election; and we sIiouil go
into The canvass feeling assured that
d triumphant victory au aited u.s."

! A,iotker -Forda JKar.-If infor-
matidn received in private letters
from Florida be correct, the Semi
mole Indians have refused to Eatify
the Treaty made by Billy Bow legs,
and ore preparing for war SO t bat it
may prove to be tedious and Ok
pensiFe business to cause their
removal. There arc but few of Them
in Fl4rida but, under the guidance
Of Billy Bowlegs, they may give cur
government much trouble to4remove
them from that State. It. is said,
That General Blake has applied to-
the Florida Legislature for tho i'm
media te raising Of large volunteer
force TO proceed against the Indians.
Billy BowIegs is said to be an art
fol an / able warrior, and it was fear
ed ia Washington, that he would not
adhere to the treaty after he had
made It. It is NOW said, that nd was
compelled by the threats of the In
dams TO join in annulling tho treaty,
but tn ere is some reason to believe, !
that h D has been guilty of deIiber-
ate de eeption. However this may
be, We have the prospect Of another
war, ip which the lives Of many citi-
zens Of Florida may be sacrificed.

open their road to the line of the Kenosha
Plank Road, sometime next week. The
plank are not laid and will not be this fall,
as 1t is impossible to procure them at any
price; money will not buy them. All the
bad places in the road however are planked,
the bridges built and the road turnpked its
whole distance. The farmers in the western
part OF kenosha county are exceedingly anx-
lous to see this road through, for they wish

RAIN ~ TIE UNITED SrATEs-At the recent
meeting at Cleveland of the American Association
for the advancement of science, Prof, Bodget, OF
the Smithsonian Institute, submitted paper from
which the following interesting facts are gathered
The portion of the continent east of the Rocky
Mountains, differs essentially from the western por
ton and from Europe, in regard to the distribution
and amount of rain. Its fall is symmetrical and
general, not irregular and local
The actual amount annually falling is greater
in low countries, and decreases with the elevation
1t is greater in the Mississippi valley than on
the Atlantic coast in the same latitude, by about
onc-eighth.
eft is less on the Alleghenics than on the Allan
tic coast, in the same latitude, by about oneeighth
The law of distribution is dcduced as one OF
regular decrease in amount with decrease in tenn
pcrature, whether that decrease of temperature is
due to increased elevation or higher latitude.

cred as lying beyond the surface atmosphere"

Or when he leaves the lady,
Or if he leaves at all
Or is it necessary
