Before the meeting Of the Convention at Nash
vile. 10 May next, assemblies for the purpose OF
Nominating 9 candidate for Governor, on the
American ticket the claims Of our first meu should
be thoroughly canvsssed among the people. Many
able men have slIeady been spoken Of and none Of
whom we think would be more suitable TO hil the
Office. or be mcrs certain to win the race, than
the distinguished Congressman from the Nashville
District, whose name tsnds ct the head Of this
article - Wes. Tenn. Wbig.
Would not Congress do as vel? Gen. z5Lu-
OcEFEE has never expressed q desire to run for
Governor, that We have heard Of. He is now a
candidate for COrgrsss-his party have tee district
BY en- Overwhelming majority, whilst the State is
largely democratic. We submit therefore, hit is
not questionable kindness in the Wing to suggest
him for doubtful place when be has SEesdy an
nounced himself . candidate for o certain one. It
is species Of pretended kiudness that Col Bell
may value, bat that Gen. ZOLLIceTTER will fail to

BEssss. EDTORs: This p5r.ion Of country bss
been looking auxiously for a move 10 he made to
bring out csndidates fer the Legislature, Senate,
Congrsss and Governor, and expected some &C icn
to that effect would have been made during TIE
late term Of Circuit Court but icing disappointed,
We now earnestly solicit tie calling Of conventions
at an early day for the above purposes. We sug.
gest Hsrtsvillss suitable place to hold the con.
vention to nominste candidates for the Senate and
Foster, and to make recommends lions in favor
of candidates for Congress and Governor. For
Congress- Lebanon would be the most central
point, Snd most likely to command fall attend
anoe. For Repre- sentative for Sumner, We 90 not
OEisct to Gsllstin, our county ssst, yet we think
each district should be represented according to its
voting population.
With an open isld and 3 fair fght we have
nothing to fear. The party that has triumphsntly
carried the banner of our whole Uniou, needs only
to be united 10 insure repetition Of tuccess. Ole
Wilson claims the power to elect the Congressman;
Sumner has her champion, and the other eouulits
their faTeFitiss. There must be division on &C.
count Of localities and success is oHr-even n the
Congressional district. The people see that the
constitutional rights Of the South are safe in the
hands Of the democracy, and wi vote according
" they will not sustain these who have given
said and comfort" TO the m;sDsmed republican
party, which seeks TO destroy our constitutional
rights, and thereby destroy tie UoioD; or in the
language of Senator WHsoE, sustain the Union

of the candidates for Floster. Senator and Con.

Mrs. TRIMMINGS ApvIcE.-And, oh, Mr..
Trimmings before you go out, there is one
thing that had almost forgotten; you have
one very questionable quality which you
really must correct. Why will you persist
in standing by man who has fallen in the
world! People who think anything of
themselves never do so now days: no, indeed,
when man is down, let him go-he can't be
of the least service to you, and you are very
SILLY to indulge in such old fashioned FAM
cies about friendship. What If lie has boz
irieuded you, he can't now, that's certain,
and it is yonr duty to take care Of your own
affrs. If a man gets into trouble let him
get out best way he can, il is none of your
business, and it don't look respectable. II
the orange is dry and you cant squeeze no
more juice from it, throw II away. You
won't, you'll never desert n friend in trouble
BAIL what nonsense. There is no use in
my trying to make anything out of you,
see that, and expect nothing else. than we
shall lose caste yet from your old fashioned
fancies about friends duty. Take my nd.
vice, MIR. Trimmings and when man is
down, no matter ii he has been the making
of you. give him kick along with the rest,
and then folks will think, there, that is the
man to prosper, he never lets private feeling
interfere with his business duties Take
care of yourself is the only way to get along
in this world, MIR. T., and to be perfectly re-
spectacle.

The SHADOW OF GREAT Rock IN
WEARY LAHD.-Man may turn his back upon
Revelation and feed upon the dry husks OF
infdelity il he will, but sure an, that 100
man cannot do without her Savior. In her
happ:est estate, she has sorrows that can
only be entrusted to an Almighty ear; re-
sponsbilities that no human aid can give her
strength to meet. But what IL earthly love
be poisoned at the fountaint-what IL her
feeble shoulders bend unsupported under the
weight of her daily cross! What If her life
sky be black with gathering gloom'-what
if her foes be those Of her own household!--
what If treachery sit down at her hearth
stone, and calumny await her without, with
extended fnger!-What then-iino Savior's
arms be ou,stretched to enfold her! What
if it be absurd (as some tell heD that God
who governs the universe should stoop to
interest himself in her petty concerns!-
What If the Bible to which she flies be
dead letter. and Come unto me all ye who
are weary and heavy laden, only "a meta.
phor!' What earthly accents can fall upon
her ear rs sweet rs these--'A BRUISED reed
will not break? Woman may be 'weak;
but blessed be the weakness which leads
her to lean on the.Atmighty arm, which man
in his pride rejects; listening rather in his ex.
tremity the demon whisper-'Curse God and
DE-
Woman may be weak you may confuse
her with your sophistries, deafen her with
your arguments, and standing before her in
your false strength, exclaim like the unbe.
levers of old-'Away with him! and still her
yearning soul cries cut, with voice no sub
tlety ocyours can satisfy or stihe-my Lord,
my God! FANNY FERN.
