pressed q strong desire that Mr. JOIN BELL shall be
the know-nOthDg candidate for Governor. But
that expression Of preference does not preclude US
from seeing that no unfair means are taken to ex.
olude others from the list of candidates for tee
nomination. We fear that the Patriot, in its anx-
ETY. to be well rid Of Gen. HASKELL, has not shown
that distinguished know nothing leader fair play.
We are assured that that paper in stating that
Gen. HASKELL has been, within the time restricted
by the constitution, 8 citizen of Arkansas, is con
trsdicted by the oath Of the gentleman himself
His vote having been challenged at Memphis, be
swore that his absence in Arkansas was only on
temporary business, and that he had always con-
sidered Tennessee his residence.
This disposes of the Patriots objection. For
surely, agih the knOlg n5tlings, Gen. HASKELL 8
oath must be better than tie Patriots hesr,sy
reports
Having thus given the facts in Gen. HASKELL g
case hearing before the people, and shown his
eligibility by his own oath, we renew our appeal
to the know nOthings to permit all the questions at
issue between the parties in Tennessee to be set
tied by the candidacy Of JOHN BELL. Democracy
