Az a matter Of simple justies to our neighbor-
ing city Of olsrkssills, We copy the following
from the Js65ersOnias Of that place. We are sin
confident, however, that there is "no chsDcs fer
GAINESVILLE. Nashville knows her rights. and
knowing, dare maintain them:
Our friends Of the Nashville UKr-E AND AMEn
CAE, are making themselves prodigionsly merry
over the Know Nothing fight IL our Congressional
district, and walk into the various candidates with
perfect gustO. We have no objections 70 offer
in the premises and leave The seatenen interested
to take care Of themselves. But We cannot per-
nit cur esteemed contemporary, to come the hog
and hOLaminy" dodge over our town, or disparage
the stock Of candidates which Ft has eretofore
produced or is now producing. The UNION ca
tends that Geo. Q lsrles has DO Chance / toe
nomination because, forsjoth, be lives in Calks-
vale He argues thss Nashville has got in The
way Of furnishing candidates. and hSEog pad par
ticiar attention TO the growth Of Candidates pro-
due IS a better art Gle than the ''out cOuniss' Of
the district, who have NJ experience in the busi-
ne e. He argues further that the ''hog aud hon
miny" fellows in Montgomery, Robertsoa, HEX
man and Stewart, never having had taste Of Of
flee, cannot have Bcqlr taste for Olic but
that Nashville having always had the eli ;es, can
not now dispense with them. From these facts,
the Union iniers that QlarlIs has no chance and
thst the cfce is not hunting him, bu. is hot after
ZJlicoffsr or McEWen.
