Col. ROBERT HATToN.-We publish
below just tribute to the noble qualities
of Col llatton, the American candidate
for Governor in Tennessee 1t is from the
pen of dsintercsted citizen, who knows
Col. Hatton WELL We congratulate the
Americans Of Tennessee upon their selec-

With such a leader, able, bold and zeal

Journal ...-
The State Convention of the American
party of Tennessee, which sat at Nashville
on last Friday, evinced great wisdom in
the choice of Col Robert Hatton as their
candidate for Governor We have the
good fortune to have long and intimate
acquaintance with Col H., and we are hap
Ply in being able to inform the friends of
his party everywhere that he is every inch
man If any one imagines that he has
been selected from the list of periwinkle
politicians for immolation upon the altar
of dismayed and forlorn party, let him
at once be undeceived. In political rank
Col Hatton is esteemed the "rose and fair
expectancy" of his State He stands in
the same relationship to Tennessee that the
gifted Menfee once did to Kentucky. The
scion of an humble though noble stock, he
has risen, at the age of thirty-three, from
the worthy position Of common school
teacher to his present enviable reputation.
1t can be appropriately said of him as it
was of Napoleon, that he is "victory or
ganized' y His strong irresistible will, his
superior intellect and fine scholarship, his
great eloquence and patriotic zeal, added
to the highest Christian character, have
marked for him place in the confidence
and affections of his people as deep and
strong as any veteran of the ranks can
claim. Two years ago he was chosen with
out solicitation to represent his county ia
the State Legislature. In that body he
first disclosed to his countrymen the high
character of his deliberative eloquence,-
From this distinguished vantage ground
he patiently waited the call of the people,
ready and determined as he was at all
times TO devote himself to that field of
labor in which his services might be eff
cient, regardless of the posts of honor to
which his ambition and destiny pointed
