COMM UNICATED.1

Editor Post:-You will, doubtless, have
noticed in several papers the name of Judge
ALEXANDER, of Knoxville, mentioned in con.
nection with the next gubernatorial canvass.
From recent conversation with that gentle.
man am satisfied that, while he feels CRATE
full to his friends whose partialities have sug-
gested him for the position, he could not,
under existing circumstances, take the race,
even should it be unanimously rendered him.
Therefore, sir, with your permission, will
take the liberty Of suggesting 10 our political
friends Col. JNo. NETHERNAHD, of Hawkins,
as suitable person for the position. Col.
Netherland is well and favorably known
to the people of Tennessee. He posses.
SEES talents Of high Order-is among the
first stump speakers in the State-popular
with the masses, and, without intending to
disparage other gentlemen whose names have
been mentioned, will say would bring more
strength Within himself than any other man
perhaps we could select. The democracy,
flushed with their recent successes in the
Presidential election, will make desperate
struggle to retain their ascendency and pow.
or IN the State, and 1t is certainly important
that we should select the strongest man
one who il able to canvass the State efficient.
ly, and who has no long roll Of political sins
to answer for. As I have said above, belisv.
ing Col. Netherland to be the man, take
the liberty of suggesting his name to the
consideration of our political friends through.
out the State, and to express hope that the
nomination may be conferred upon him, feel.
ing confident that with such candidate, and
harmonious action and honest effort, success
would be within our reach. ROANE.
