For ihe Chronicle.
Mr. EDIToR:-The time is near at hand
when the American party of Montgomery
county should nominate candidates for the
next General Assembly. Our adversarics
though flush with victory, do. not feel Sc
cure of their power and the spoils of Of
fee. They know that the Lion energies
of the American party will be fully arous-
cd in the ensuing contest; and they will
make their death effort to maitaln and
consolidate their power in the State of
Tennessee. Such being the case, it be-
hOoves the American party to put forth
their strongest men in the fiold--and in
my humble judgment the Hon. Jno. D.
Tyler, and Col. NJ. d. Davie, are the men
most eminently qualified to lead the host Of
gallant Americans of Montgomery. OF
the qualifications of the above named gen.
tlcmen, the first to represent us in the SEN
ate, the second to represent us in the low
or branch of the Legislature, need not
speak. They need no eulogy from my pen.
Their incorruptible integrity-the wide
spread reputation to which they have al
ready attained--would give them com
handing position in the next Assembly Of
which Montgomery might we'll bo proud,
No interest of their constituents in their
hands would suffer; and feel assured that
if they should be the nominees of the
Convention, that they would buckle on
their armour and enter the contest deter
mined to win the victory or perish nObly in
the battle. They hold TO the doctrine that
no man should refuse TO serve his country
whenever they are called upon. In con-
clusion will say that should the Conven-
ton nominate the Hon. Jno. Tyler, for the
Senate, and Col. M. ID. Dayie, for the lower
IIouse--that every American will rally 70
their standard-''and all Israel to their
tents, and the Philistines will fee before
them.

Of democratic voters during this year.
Native Americans, stand aside You are
not fit To- govern your own country-im-
ported rulers are superior to the native
article, aad our country belongs to the
Iworld-not to ourselves. Men who have
tried what polcical slavery is, without be-
ing able to make themselves free are the
very men to maintain our freedom. Then,

D.y- Tho Jefiersonian, Of last week

by The Jefiersonian, of last week,
suggests that Maj. Henry may be the none
inee for Congress, in this District. And
lest any portion of the public may infer
from that random remark, that the Major
is competitor for the nomination, we will
state that he neither seeks, nor would ac-
ccpt it, if rendered to him. He is the per-
sonal aud political friend of the three
prominent candidates for the nomination,
and will be found battling in the ranks for
the choice of the Convention. A very ac-
tive effort is being made by the democrats
tQsow the seeds Of discord in the Apcri-
can party of this District, hoping thereby
to gain some additional strength. But we
wish them to know that Maj, Henry can
not be made instrumental in bringing about
such result lie is an earnest aud ardent
American; but seeking no position, he will
take no part until the Convention dosig-
mates the man, or the man, for whose elec-
ton he may lend his efforts and then he

DsS" The American papers of Nashville,
are silent this week, as to the point where
the District Convention shall be held, The
fitness of GAINESVILLE, as the central spot
equally approachable from every point, is
apparent to the entire District, and this, Of
itself, ought to be conclusive in its favor
Usage, too, has fixed this as the place foi
the Coyontions of both parties; and unless
the Nashville press can present considera,
tons overwhelming these, dissatisfaction
must follow the chango-not being convin,
ccd of its propriety, the people ciW in.
dulgo suspicious as to the motives. W,
trust, therefore, that no further attempt
will be made TO depart from the usage 81

NIEssRs. EDIToRs:-I desire to suggest
through the columns of the Pltriot, the
name Of John Ford House, Esq Of Mont
gomery county, in connection with the Of
fee Of { oyernor. Mr.. House is every way
we'll qualified for the position, and is known
throughout .diddle Tennessee as one of the
first men in the State. An accomplished
popular orator, very ready and able deba-
ter, and possessing all the elements of sue
cess in the coming canvass, Mr.. House
represented Montgomery county in the
Legislature of 1919, and no representa-
tive has ever given more general satisfac-
ton to his constituency and to the people
of the State lie is man of profound
learning, great moral worth, and liberal and
statesmanlike political views. lie has
proved his devotion to the principles of the
American party on many well contested
field, and is a man who, when he shall have
become generally known, the Americans Of
Tennessee will delight to honor.
Let his name go before the convention!
and if nominated feel assured we Will
have an American Governor. So we think

Claiming to be statesmen they deny to
the citizen the most sacred rights conferred
by our INSTRUMENTATION of thought

establisha political inqpisition, its walls
would echo the groans Of agony wrung
from those who dared, by quitting them,
to shape their opinions by the dictates Of
their conseiences. Claiming to be patriots,
they league themselves with the foreign
element in our midst asd by means Of
that alliance, are rapidly bringing native

and love of country will not permit him
longer to act with them, and against his
country, they seek to crush by all the ap.

to possess all the clements of corrupt

Among the humors of the psnlc, we must cer-
taiply reckon the erratic conduct of the inhabit-
ants of Frankfort, KY. A few days ago, Mr. ).
w. Rogers an architect of CinciD natl, with bis
brother. in. law, Mr.. Gold Of Newport, K. l.,
visited Frankfort upon private business 10 no way
wbsteyer connected with the financial difficulty.
II was soon bruite that they were Ito use the ee-
ssbt language of the mOb) "cussed Cincinnati
Abolition brokers'" who had come to break all
the banking Institutions in Frankfort by drawing
ont specie. Imme lately the mob proceeded, after
the wont Of those Southern gatherings, to invest
the hotel in which the strangers were tarryipg,
ard with the usual oaths, cries, menaces AID baEi-
ing. to demand tat "the cuised Abolition brokers
should incontinentlJ leave town. The gentlemen
thu, suddenly invested with an entirely new pro
fessiop, thought it prudent to comply, and, with
stomach. full of Southern hospitality, departed.
The people of Frankfort have thus set notable
example to their brethren throughout the Southern
States and we suppose that it will be SO improved
that il will become fashionable there to lynch all
Northern men who may go to the South IN order to
collect morey-s cheap e1pedient for removing I'M
