THE NEXT GOVERNOR-Hox A. G.
WATKINS.

Below we give an article from the True Wing,
su ggesting the name of Hon. A.G.WATKINs OF
Jefferson comfy, as suitable man to bear the
yhig banner at the approaching Gubernatorial
election. We are not aware that Mr.. Watkins
has any aspirations; but should he be elected,
the public are assured by his past public servic-
es that he would make an attentive aud efficient
executive officer:
To the Editors: The feeling that the Wing
candidate for Governor ought TO ba selected
from among the statesmen of East Tennessee
is very general. This sentiment manifested IT.
self with fatal force in the last Gubernatorial
contest, and the same result is much to be lear
ed unless Gov. JOHNSON can be met by an
East Tennessean. Ii is not the leaders bu'
the masses of East Tennessee who demand tAe
next overnor. The name of the Hon. q. G
WATKINS, of jefferson, is respectfully sugges-
ted for that Office. Col. WATKINS is a Wing
good and true, and ever ready to submit his
claims to convention of his party fairly con-
stituted. He is 10y occupation a practical farm
er, ripe and able statesman, and one of the
most foreibie and convincing debaters IN the
gtate. peaa the great question now agitating
the Amerisan people, his sentiments have long
been matured. He is 10 favor Of Americans rul
ing America he would make US a gallant
standard-bearer, and would be triumphantly
elected
The writer has never heard him express the
least desire for the nom nation, and does not
know that he has ever thought of it, but he is
too good Wing to refuse his services when de
sired by his party. What say yon, brother

Bay- The Nashville Banner answers grave
question propounded by the Nashville Uaion
as follows:
/ TbeeqRestton te--which the Union asks a
straight forward answer is:sDo we, approve the
sentiments Of the-extrac.p2 from Mr. Democrat
ic Smiths Know Nothing speech ~
Answer: Some of the sentiments We approve,
and some we don't.
Is that straightforward enough for the crook
ed vision Of the Union and Ame7Tcan7 Prob
ably not. 4et to general question, like the
Union and Americans, the answer Is appropri-
ate enough. In consideration, however of the
damage done to the Union and Americans op.
tics, by the hateful sight of the horrible aud
greatly>to be-feared Know Nothings, we will be
more ineligible and explicit in our answer,
than it was in its question.
We are. then, most decidedly in favor of so
amending the naturalization laws as to extend
the term of an aliens residence in the United
States, preparatory to his,obtaining the rights
of citizenship.
We are not in fav6ryo of prescribing" any
man on account Of his religious opinions: ace
would not vote against Catholic merely be-.
cause he was a catholic.
Now for a couple of questions to the Union
and American:
Are you opposed to the extension of the
term Of residence now required of aliens, in or
der to their being admitted to the benefits of
citizenship?
Are you in favor Of prescribing" all native
born. citizens of the United States who have
become, or shall hereafter become, members of
the Know Nothings =?
Please answer these questions without "bob-
bing or dOdging'--that is, you can help''bob-
bling and lodging" when Know Nothing spec
tres are continually presenting themselves to
your imagination.

This literary journal, published in this city,
has claim upon every reader, especially in
the South, who admires sound standard litera
ture and can spare few hours weekly fromthe
cares Of business and the more exciting topics
of the political world, to healthful literary re.
creation. Its editorials breathe pure and REIN
ed sentiments its selections are usually from
the best periodicals of the day, and are marked
by a high order Of intellectual merit. There is
quite rs much reading matter as in ahy of the
literary papers published at the North, and
more than many of them which boast their
thousands of southern subscribers. It's pages
are never marred by moral dissertations and

system of the South and of Northern SUPERIOR
