Wednesday evening, says:
The nomination of Hatton for Governor, gives
unbounded satisfaction in our county. 1t is true
that Bedford was in favor of Co.. Martin in the
Convention, but assure you that with him out of
the way, no man in Tennessee is so acceptable to
US as Robt. Hatton, Of Wilson. There was quite
an enthusiastic ratification meeting here on Mon

Thomas Il. Coliwell qs., delivered eloquent ad-
dresses 10 behalf of our nominee, and ..our
