this government from disunion, as well
as from policy contrary to the genius
Of its institutions, rested alone with
those who stood on the Cincinnati
Platform Of 1856. We conquered,
Eand by the struggle, not less than by
its results, was it manifested that the
necessities Of the times demand cor
| dial union amongst those who we're
victorious in a common cause. | de-
Itermiaed, therefore, to give up the
Wing name, Wbig principles having
passed away "amongst the things
that have been." and to act in future
with the only Earfy protesting to car
! ry out the first principles of the gov
Iernment, and possessed Of the ability
to maintain them
! | stand therefore. to-day on the
Cincinnati Platform of 1856, and en-
dorse the principles avowed by Mr..
Buchanan in his Inaugural Address,
resolved to abide by both, and to de-
iend them accordingly as far as lies
III my power.
On the subject of the election Of
a Senator or Senators, to the Senate
of the United States, should ! be
your representative, my vote shall be
given in the first place for Andrew
Johnson, because be is my individual
choice, and the choice of 3 large ma
j5rity Of the people of the district.
Ii integrity, ability and eminent ser
vices to the Democratic party asd to
the country, merit the highest token
of approval, surely no man could be
more appropriately selected to repre-
sent the sovereignty of Tennessee in
the national councils, than the man
who saved her from the consequences
of Know Nothing mi9rule. Next to
Gov. Jobuson shall support the
nominee of the party either In the
election of one or two Senators rs the
case may be, aud shall rejoice in the
choice of any Democrat whose tai
ents and services quality bin for the
office.
So far as questions Of State policy,
and Others affecting more particular
ly the interests Of the people If this
District are CONCERNED. ] have no
time nor DO deemit necessary on
this occasion to give nv views, bat
shall do so at my earliest convent
ence. | have no opinions which |
wish to conceal; aud believing it to
be the duty of Representative to obey
the will of his constituents or resign,
l believe it to be equally incumbent
on the candidate for popular suffrage,
to make a full exposition Of bis opin-
ions on all questions appertainiug to
the interests of those whom he seeks
to represent.
Between this time, therefore, and
the month of August, it shall be my
purpose to address the people at
series Of appointments, Of which they
will have due notice, to visit them
at their homes, to extend my per-
sonal acquaintance, and to pattake
more widely Of that hospitality al
ready experienced.
In pursuance of this purpose you
may expect me 10 address the people
at Pulaski on tie first Monday in
June next. when shall be obliged
to you for your presence and atten-
ton.
/ have only to aid that, / respect
fully solicit the support Of every yo-
ter, aud promise you in return, that,
if elected. it will be my effort to pro-
rioteas Tar as can, your best ioter-
ests. independent Of all differences in
politics or religion, aud dolly appreci-I
atiHg the honor conferred, ! shall en-
deaver SO to discharge my duty, that
you shall nave no reason to regret
the bestowal of your favor. thank
you most-kindly for your attention.
The manufacture of hoop skirts is
shortly to be entered upon large
scale at Sing Sing prison, New York,
under State contract. The requisite
machinery for tie purpose is being
made in New York, and as soon as
completed will be transferred to the
prison. Hoop skirts are becoming
as much staple as hats and shoes.
