NASHVILLE:
MONDAY, FEB. Is, 1857.
Who shall be the American Candidate
fer GOVERNOR

for GovernorF
This question has, for some time past,
undergone considerable discussion in the
public journals and in private circles; but,
although long list Of names has been sug-
gested, public opinion has not as yet point
ed to any one of the individuals named as
the man for the occasion.
AS something more than two months
must elapse before State Convention viii
meet to make choice, it is, perhaps, not
seriously to be regretted that the calls of
the people have not been concentrated nm
on particular person. There is sufficient
time yet to look over the field and make a
wise choice from the abundant nlatsriel
which the party possesses.
An intelligent and welI-posted cores
pondent avails himself of the columns of
the Patriot this morning to present to the
consideration of the party, and of all who
desire to see the progress of democracy ar
rested, the name of Col. w. P. HIcKERsoN.
This gentleman has frequently been men
toned favorably in connection with the
canvass for Governor, and were be one of
those who seek political preferment, he
might long since have been the favorite of
the great body of his party. In every po-
litical canvass during the past fifteen years
he has borne part actively, either as a
volunteer private, or in the lead in his dis
trict, in obedience to the demands of those
with whom he entertained principles in
common. lie was prompted to this by his
love Of principle and his great desire to
promote the best interests of his State and
Country. He has never sought Office. He
prefers the pleasant paths ofprivateli life; and
in the practice ofhis profession finds slim
illus for and q gratifcation of his ambition
In his circuit, amongst the people and the
members of the bar, he is known as law
yer of eminent attainments, whose discip-
lined mind quickly grasps and masters his
cause however intricate the web which en-
closes it; diligent and laborious student,
and an excellent judge of human nature.
There are few men in the State superior
to him at the bar or on the stump. Be-
sides, his life has been spent among the PEG
pie, and he is Of them. He knows their
wants and his sympathies are with them.
A man Of this character is always strong
among the masses; and whosoever has them
on his side is invincible Out Of his judicial
circuit, Col. H. is but little known. This
is because he has been content to pursue
the even tenor of his way in the midst of
those to whom he has become attached by
many years of pleasant association. Were
be as well known throughout the State as
he is in the Mountain District, his popular
ity would be almost unbounded.
We have made these remarks not with
view of pressing him as candidate for
the nomination; but, as he has been named,
to let our friends know what manner of
man" he is. He does not, we know, seek
political station 1t would be great sac
rifce for him to accept nomination for
the governorship; bat we feel assured that
if the people shall demand his services he
is too patriotic to refuse to respond favor
ably to their call.

MKssRs EDIrcRs:---Ip connection with the
question, who shall be the chosen cham
pion in the, next canvass TO represent the
opposition 10 the dominant party, there seems
to DO deal Of speculation, and an unusual
interest felt. Though the organ of modern democ
racy has very ngeniOusly endeavored to create the
impressions that it was doubtful whether there
would De such candidate at all, thinking thereby,
doubtless, to commit few of the thoughtless and
WaVering TO the support of own its ticket, it is
very evident that that bait has not caught anything
more than, peharps, gudgeon or two. 1t occurs
to me that the signs Of the times indicate dispo-
sition on the part Of the opposition--Amerieans
and Whigs,-to unite 10 the coming contest upon
the nominee Of the Convention, upon which ever
Of the distinguished gentlemen mentioned, that
honor may fall with an old fashioned zeal and
determination to succeed And while have the
highest respect for each Of the gentlemen men
toned, / have thought proper TO give you my
views, made up from pretty extensive conversation
and enquiry among our political friends in various
portions Of the State, to the proper man to Sc
lect for the crisis. That man, then, is w. P.
HIcKRRsoS, of Coffee county. In him viii be
found united, in eminent degree, what is of the
first importance, all the qualities calculated to
make good Executive officer A man OF enlarged
views, firm OF purpose strong in bis convictions of
right and answering in the discharge OF any duty
which may be imposed upon him if elected, his con.
stituenis will have reason to congratulate them"
selves upon having man at the head ofthe affairs
of State, who has not only the ability to see, but
the industry to attend to, and the win to maintain
their interests. In respect to bis strength before
the people, and bis sb;Iity to advocate and eluc-
date, and defend the principles of bis party, and
expose the allaeies, fasities aud fanfaronnade Of
modern democracy, hesitate not to say he has
no superior in the State. Trust me, that our
banner once placed in his bands, will be borne
CALAMITY and triumphantly throughout the State,
whoever may be selected to stay its victorious
route. AS debater, he is shrewd, quick, and
strong in bic positions.
Personally, Col. Hickersen is deservedly popu>
lar wherever known. He is a generous, gallant
and heightened gentleman, and will make eredi-
table representative at the Capitol OF hgh-toned
and chivalrons constituency; in short, believe no
better selection could be made. am not advised
rs to whether Col. Il. would accept the nomination;
but take il for granted, from what know of the
man, that he would wish for no brighter lAurels
than are to be worn in the coming canvass, in the
overthrow of democracy with large popular ma
ority to back it, and the restoration of Tennessee
to its legitimate position once more.
