HON. JOHN H. SAVAGE.

We copy the following from the McMnnville
Tennessee) New Era:
Firm energetic, and talented, Colonel Savage is glo
rousy bearing aloft the democratic banner The good
old cause was never placed in safer hands
But short while since the know-nothings were pre-
dieting his nglorous defeat Now the tables are com
petey turned 1t is believed all hands that this tr
umph will be decisive His zeal and enthusiasm united
with ability and much experience in public affairs enable
him to come of conqueror in every contest with his
petitor.
Even some democrats fearful that the misrepre-
sensations of his vote for the compensation law would
seriously damage his prospects But when he came
apply the touchstone of truth to this question all the
fog that had been raised by his enemies vanished into
thin air
"Col Savage is emphatically worker and his exam
pie should be followed by every who wishes to be
successful politician has been good fortune to
know but few gentlemen who possess the tact and
indomabe perseverance. We shall not at any time be
surprised to learn that he has converted back the inn
mortal Joe to the true faith At any rate, nothing hu-
man likely to deprive him of seat in the Thirty fifth
Congress"

MEssRs. SINGLETON AND LAKE.

These gentlemen, (says the Memphis Appeal,) can
didaes for Congress in the fourth district, Missis
sppi have made list of speaking points extending
up to October 1st Col. Singleton, it will be remem-
bcred was defeated two years ago by know-nothing-
ism under the lead of Mr. Lake. The objects of the
order were not at that time sufficiently developed to
render it as unpopular as it has since become. Now
that it is thoroughly understood there is little doubt
that the democratic candidate, whose course in Con-
gress strongly commends himself to southern men,
viii be successful by decided majority. The other
districts arc safe enough, and why should the fourth
equal to any in intelligence and patriotism make
exception?

THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.

We regret to find in the subjoined letter, for a
copy of which we are indebted to of the sgners
a confirmation of the reported resignation of Mr..
Mason, Commissioner of Patents That bureau of
the government has grown to be very important
one, requiring for its proper management various
qualifications not often found combined in one per-
son. These, by general consent Mr.. Mason pos
sessed in an eminent degree, and consequently he
has discharged the responsible and delicate duties
of the Office with an acceptance hardly ever equalled
by any one of his able predecessors His retirement
is loss to the administrative branch of the govern
ment which it will be difficult to supply.

We stated o few weeks since that it the in
cratic journal in the city of Philadelphia under the
title of "The Press" The first number of the new
paper, which was issued Saturday last is before
u.s. and bears upon its broad pages substantial evil
dences of taste, talent, enterprise and industry.
Col f., in graceful opening, announces his deter
mination to support the democratic party and the
national administration, and to spare pains
pepse to make his paper generally acceptable. That
he viii redeem bis pledge we have ample assurances
in his past successful career as democratic jour
nalist.

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD REST
The Philadelphia Argus SAYS:

The democrats in Louisville have made propositions to
the know nothings to consult together through their
committees to the best Of preserving order in
that city in the coming election, and prevent It from be-
ing disgraced by repetition of the usual bloody riots
The know-nothings, through their champion, Mr.. Dun
can, have it should be mentioned to their eternal dis
grace, rejected this peace proposition and now stand
the position Of organization which encourages and in
stgates riots by which they have heretofore been the
gamers If boodshed ensue, upon them will rest the
responsibility" ,
