"HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE"
We copy the following article from late
number Of the Memphis Express, Democra-
tic:
Gen. w. 4. Haskell has lately settled in
our city. He is an able and astute lawyer,
distinguished as wing politician for his tn
Tents, independence and rapid elevation in pc.
pular favor; with urbanity and accomplish
ments as u gentleman in private life. Such
man IS an acquisition to our city. We ex.
tend to him cordial welcome and our best
wishes. Gen. H. thinks for HIMSELF and has
the manly courage to say, what he may think,
both of men and things. We wish we had u
community of such men. Gen. II. has wav-
ed his claims to party nomination for Gov
ernor Of Tennessee, in favor of our estceul-
ed and valued friend Maj. G. Henry of Clarks.
vile, than whom, more perfect and accom-
plished gentleman, a soundcrwhig and more
profound statesman, lives not within the linz
its of our State. No man in the State would
fill the highest station Of honor or response.

flee.
Hon. w. e. Dunlap will doubtless be the
Democratic nominee for Governor; he ranks
with the greatest and best men in Tennessee
and has friends personal and political from
Carter to Shelby, and we consider him the
very strongest man Of the party in the State.
We respect and honor Hon. w. e. Dunlap
as n man and statesman.
With Maj. Henry and Hon. w. C. Dunlap
as the candidates, the people, the masses may
rejoice, for on whose head sOcver may fall the
| crown Of victory, a gentleman, and a states
man and patriot will be their chief ruler
All independent men, not chained to the car
of party, unaccustomed to huzza rs partisans
right or wrong, for men or brutcs seeking
high stations upon the current ofparty, will,
we doubt not, especially rejoice with us in
having before the State two such candidates
us Dunlap and Henry.
Cosr OF DESTROYING LIQUOR IN RHODE
IsLAND.-The following bil-which is GER
tainly curiosity, both in literature and
finances-was presented for liquidation to
the State of Rhode Island, on the 2lst inst.
1t shows the expense to which the State has
become liable for the seizure and destruction
of two gallons of cherry rum-an act which
was supposed TO have been made legal by the
recently declared unconstitutional Liquor
Law of that State. It contains two or three
very novel items, such rs requiring the aid,
us the charge indicates, of six mcn-ablc-
bodied, of coursc-at ono dollar each, to as
sist in securing the aforementioned two
gallons of cherry rum; one dollar is also
charged for pouring upon the ground the
said obnoxious beverage; and fifty cents is
claimed by the no doubt corpulent justice, for
his services in very quietly witnessing the
destruction of the liquor. The bill will
probably find place in the next edition of
the "Blue Laws" Here it Isl
State of Rhode Island, DR..
