The Candidates for Governor.

we nave conYerSed With gentle
men of both parties, says the Nash
vile Union and American, who have
heard the candidates ut different
points, and from their representations
can assure our friends that the result
Of the discussions is just what they
anticipated aud just what they would
have it. Gen. Harris is using the
truth and facts, which he has in his
favor, with telling effect, and in a
most triumphant and successful
manner.
From the Memphis Appeal We ex.
tract the following account Of the
speaking in that city, and also at
BloRnsville:-
HARRIS AND HArToN AT MEMPHIS.
The day was most unpropitious
for the public speaking, which came
off yesterday at q o'clock, at the
Exchange Hall. The weather was
perverseiy murky,a heavy rain hav-
ing fallen from 10 o'clock in the
morning till / p. IN. Notwithstand-
ing this however, there was a dense
crowd in the Hall at q o'clock, the
appointed hom, to hear and judge
for themselves Of the principles and
abilities of the two candidates for
Governor.
"Col. Hatton led eff in a style
which, we think, must have satisfied
even his friends and supporters that
there is something woIully lame, Ell
Their in his cause or himself, to have
evoked so weak and inadequate en-
effort to influence the voters of Ten
nessee to elect him Governor. His
two points or issues we're the iistribu.
ton of The public lands among the
States, and alien suffrage. But We
shall not attempt any report or com.
ment upon his arguments, as we are
prepared to give fair and full report
of the. discussion.
Gen Harris came up to the stand
With that quiet consciousness of al
anticipated victory which assures ar
audience that be has bagged his game
His speech was remarkable for close
and lorcible logic, sound doctrine ant
true eloquence. Every sentence told
upon his listeners, and awakened q
corresponding sympathy from th'
/. mass Of the crowd.
1--WE have only-!ime and space nov
to say that We claim morecomplett
and undisputed victory in the debate
than was ever before witnessed in I
similar discussion in Tennessee, ant
we shall take occasion in our mex
issue TO present such an abstract Q
the discussion as VIII clearly illustrate
the d sparity in the position of tbt
two candidates.
ave now claim certain majority
for the Democratic candidate Of 10,
600 votes. Know No,hings must
themselves see that the contest is {
hopeless one on their part"
