VIM NJ OUARLEs.

The Congressional Convention which assembled
at GAINESVILLE on Monday last to nominate a Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress- selected with entire
unanimity and great enthusiasm, VIM. NJ Quarles,
Of Montgomery as their standard bearer in the con
test. We understand that he has signifed his in
tention to accept the nomination
Mr.. Quarles is gentleman Of great moral worth
and personal popularity possessing superior order
Of talent and decided energy Of character. In eve
~ respect the superior Of his competitor we shall
have strong hopes of his election if he has time
sufficient to thoroughly canvass the district. The
party which Gen. ZOlieoffer represents is growing
more and more OdiOus every day. whilst the position
Of Gen z. furnishes an excellent theme for its
thorough exposure.

HON. VIM. E. YENABLE.

This gentleman was very handsomely entertained
with a complimentary supper, on Thursday evening
last given by his old neghbors and friends of Win
chester irrespective of party in testimony of their
high regard for his moral intellectual and social
qualities as a citizen, neighbor and friend.
Maj. Venable is upon the eve of his departure to
the field of his future labOrs as resident Minister
Gautamala, an appointment recently given him by
the President. Maj. V. viii carry with him the
good wishes of a large circle of admiring friends
in various portions of the State. The Winchester
Journal, noticing the entertainment given, says:
"A large crowd of ladies and gentlemsn were
present on the occasion, and among them were our
most worthy and prominent citizens-an met to-
gether mingle their heartfelt wishes for the safe
and happy voyage of our worthy townsman to the
place Of his destination, and his return to his home
his family, his friends Men Of opposite parties
and religions were there, yet no one was behind the
other in expressing his regret that this joyous fest
val was soon to be followed by the departure from
our midst Of one who has effected so much good for
this community, and who has ever exhibited gem
erous and public spirit for all things tending to
promote the welfare Of our town and county"

BSg- Learning that the American Council in this
city was open to spectators dropped into Mozart
Hall to see the elephant about noon. There sat
about forty individuals, scattered about in small
squads. They had ropes stretched along to keep off
outsiders. dozen or twenty we're looking on at
the sorry spectacle. Our old friend Bartlett sat
upon the platform, looking very solemn and digni-
fed brother at one side Of the room was finish
ing speech that sounded like treason. He didn't
seem to have proper respect for the seeresy, and
the great principles of the party such as the signs
and grips. We believe he spoke of these principles
as fummery or clap-trap. Another speaker wanted
the brethren in different localities to do as they
pleased. A brother from New York was stirred up
by such treatment of sacred things. He burst forth
with loud noise and vehement manner in behalf of
original Americanism. His zeal rose higher and
highsras heproceeded. He pitehedinto the Catholics
and threatened that the folks he represented would
march off and leave the concern if the Council didn't
walk straight. Another brother began to speak, but
the one over the way called him to order before he
got fairly started We left satisfied that the only
real question with them was to be or not to be"
with strong tendency to the latter.-LoUisUills

sThe equal rights Of the States to share alike the
benefits and advantages Of our public domain p
Patriot
Comment by Hon John Bell on his speech on the
Kansas Nebraska bill; "This equality Of rights
among all the States ought to be confined to the
public domain South Of the Missouri Compromise
line. The South may perhaps be entitled under the
Constitution to an equality Of rights north Of that
line. But the Black Republicans insist on the ex-
elusive right to it, and rather than have fuss about
it the southern States had better concede it"
Comment upon the same by the same in his speech
upon the Distribution bills 'sThe equality of rights
here alluded to must not be understood as inter
fering at all with the liberal donations which it is
my policy to continue in behalf of the States.
This equality OF rights or equal distribution is only
to begin after the new States have been served.
There is no prospect that such bill viii ever be-
come law, and am therefore not little puzzled
for any good reason to offer the public for introdu-
cling it, but, he might have added, soto vOce, to
the faithful, ''itwil serve az good veil to throw
over the odious features of Know Nothingism, and
as sort Of bait to catch the gudgeOns of the old
! Wing party who were SO disguised with our war
upon foreigners and Catholics and with our secret
oaths, grips, signs, passwords, sc. True, if we
divide the proceeds of the public lands any part
/ of the revenues Of the General Government among
the States, we shalkhaye to raise the same amount
by taxation, but we can do that in way that the
common people of Tennessee viii know nothing
about it, although it must be confessed they pay
twice as much as some Of the northern States thai
get an equal divide with them But, as the sailor.
say, any port in storm"
We do not pretend to have quoted the precise Ian
guage of the distinguished Senator to whom th'
Know Nothing party are indebted for the new dOdg,
of distribution. If there is any complaint, howe
YER that we have done him injustice, they can cor
rect US by giving the exact language which embed
les the above ideas, and promise it the benefit
our circulation.
