WHY DON'T HE DO IT.

When the Farmer knows that the gate is bet
ter, and, as time and labor-saving fixture cheap.
er, than set of bars and posts, and can without
calling on carpenter, he can himself make one,
why don't he do it? Van
When he has no other fastenings to his gates
and barn doors than stone rolled against them,
and in single evening after supper is able to
make better one, why don't he do it?
Or when he sees the boards dropping from
his barns and out-buildings, and like heaps of
rubbish lying in piles about his premises and
needs only mailing on again, why don't he do
it?
Or if he is afraid of the expense of nails and
is always crying up the maxim of Dr. Franklin,
"to save the pence and the pounds will take
care of themselves" and knows that DR.. Frank
lin also said that" many men are penny wise and
pound foolish" and he is not careful to think of
the precept contained in the latter why don't no
do it?
Ifit be saving of nearly half of the manure
of farmers stock, by keeping them shut up in
yards, instead of running at large thro' most of
the winter, why don't he do it
If he knew that most of his fields would be
greatly improved by ditching, and by the remov-
al of large stumps and stones, why don't he do
it!
And if he knows his pastures yield nearly
double the feed, and of better quality, if the
brush were all cut and subdued, why don't he do
it?
And if he can add fifty per cent,to the product
of his clover fields and even his pastures by the
use of it, why don't he do it?
lfa farmer of fifty acres have, Gas he should
have) use for good corn shelter and one Of
many improved fanning- mills and he has not al
ready obtained both, why don't he do il!
And if it be cheaper, actually cheaper to burn
dry wood than green, and to use a stove instead
Of fire place, why don't he do it?

The Candidates for Legislature.

Our accounts from the meeting at the Her
mitage district on Monday, are alike encour-
aging and amusing. Gov. BROwN made one
of his powerful and irresistible appeals, and
carried with him, as he always does, the con-
victions and feelings of all who heard him.
Col. JOHNSON makes no pretensions to decla-
nation, but in plain, candid and well spoken
manner defines his position. His high posi-
ton in the community, his unpretending life
and his reputation for practical business tact
and sagacity, will secure for him the conf
dence of his constituents, and give assurance
that he will make safe and faithful represen-
tative. Col. TEMPLE is making most power
ful impression wherever he goes. His speeches
breathe the pure spirit of patriotism and de-
votion to country, which rises above party
trammels. His appeals are eloquent, power
full and effective.
On the occasion above referred to, only one
of the candidates of the anti-American party
appeared, Mr.. MoGAvooK. He commenced
his speech by taking his teri from the Bible,
which he drew out and read. But this was
evidently only done for effect, for his speech
had really no reference 10 his text, and, as was
remarked by Col. Temple in his reply, eff the
text had had the small pox there would have
been no danger of his speech taking the dis
ease, they were so far apart" Mr.. McGavock,
who is candidate for the Lower House, went
out of his way to make an attack upon Col.
johnson, who is candidate for the Senate.
We imagine he will find enough to do to beat
either Gov. Brown or Col. Temple, without
attempting to help General Harding in the
race.
The day at the Hermitage district altogeth-
er, was q happy one for the American candid
ates and gave indications in the highest de-
gree encouraging.
The candidates spoke yesterday at Antioch
to a large crowd. The American candidates
all made good speeches, and gave entire salts
faction. Our informant says the best feeling
prevailed, and our friends in that locality count
upon an increased vote.

have bad much to do with politics and political dls-
cussious. and never witnessed a more decided
triumph than the one achieved by Gentry over
johnson, on this occasion, in the midst Of the
interruptions by the rain. He was applauded
throughout. His arguments and eloquence, were
telling from the start. he looked like he felt that
he would be the next Governor of Tennessee and
johnson looked so likewise! Gentry's friends were
go happy that they could not speak to anotb er
without laughing. On the other hand sad were
the countenances of Johnson's more discerning
friends. heard no expressions from them, but
their looks indicated that they were being driven to
the wall and overwhelmed with defeat! Others tell
me that they boosted Of a victory.
This county will make gain for us Of about 200
votes. Indeed, we will gain in the most of the
counties of East Tennessee. am not mistaken in
this This is owing to two considerations First, our
cause, the cause of God and country, has taken
thousands from Johnson's ranks; and next, there
will be a larger vote poed in East Tennessee than
ever was given before. Let me then say to our
friends west Of the mountains, that all is right in
this end of the State.
[ never witnessed the offer of a gross insult
to a crowd, in nv life than Gov. johnson offered.
In his rejoinder, he told the audience, who had
yelled and clapped while Gentry was roasting him,
that he had heard brGying before from those who
only differed Uith them IN tie length of their ears
And he told them in positive terms, that those Of
them who had cheered his competitor, had not
brains enough 20 grease the triggers Of mouse

dience, should say.
l was highly compimented by him; and although
he said more about me than usual, he diSclameo
any unkind feelings. He said was the High Priest
of the Order-that Gentry was brought out by me
that was man of distinction and talents-that
my paper was influential, and read far and Wide'
both at home and abroad. The truth is, had to
bite nay finger to see if it were me!
I discovered two or three little Sag NIGHTS Re-

doubt, report for the U1eiou. My report l give
