From the Patriot.

FROM the ralrlot.
MONTGOMERY County, Feb IL, 1857. ss'
EDITORS OF THE PATRIOT: L have re-
Gently seen in your paper several commu-
nioations suggesting the names of gentle
men as suitable candidates for Congress in
this district, and as the ball is opened /
will cen join in the dance. f p2aa
In the first place presume that Gen
Zollicofer having represented this district,
two terms, does not desire to be candid
ate again, and in the second place David
son County being the place of Gen. Zolli-
Golfers residence, ought to yield her claims
to the other counties in the district. This
is but a recognition of the principle of ro-
tation--a principle always deservedly pop
ular in Tennessee, and one which will ex-
ert an influence in the selection and cleo
ton of a candidate for Congress-, For this
and other reasons the people of Montgom-
cry, Stewart, and Dixon, so far as have
been able to ascertain their wishes, are,
decidedly in favor ofGen. James NJ, Quarles,
as the next candidate for Congress in this
district.
Gen. Quarles as member Of Congress,
would be diligent in ascertaining the wants
of his constituents, and prompt in atten-
ding to them, and would faithfully dis
charge all the duties of representative.
The honor of an election to Congress is
certainly due TO Gen. Quarles. 1t has
been the usual custom in Tennessee, to
run the elector Of each district for Con-
gress, when he has made brilliant and
effective canvass. 1t is true the old wing
and democratic parties did not always OBJ
serve this custom; but whenever it has
been disregardcd it has always been pro-
ductive of evil 1t is nothing more than
right and just that man who devotes his
lime aud his, talents to the success of a
great cause, should be rewarded No man
in the State performed moro signal SER
vice for the American party-no man con-
secrated himself more entirely TO the sue
cess of its candidates in the last Presi-
dental election than the gallant elector for
this district;
He was to be found wherever duty call.
ed him, not only in his own district, but
in other portions of the State. Nor did
he confne his travels to the buggy road:
whore laurels were to be easily won, -hS
saddle-bagged il whore he mot with no re
ward but a consciousness of doing good
for the party. But Gen. Quarles has 9TH
CT claims. lie Joined the American par
ty in its infancy before its strength was
known. His friends demonstrated with
J him, aud hi relatives threatened him. but

BGJ7 The Burdcll murder seems to be
the only rccep ut event worthy of notice.
and theapress sloats over it as delicious
morsel. He happened to be worth some
houndred, or two thousands of dollars,
and hence the much ado about his tragic
fate. Had he been some poor, honest,
hard-working nah, the news of his murder
would hardly have travelled beyond the
city limits, So much for the influence of
money-thc god Of this worlds idolatry.
Honest poverty is aespised, whilst vicious
wealth has its countless number of parasy-
tes The press ought to bear itin mind that
the more limited the knowledge of crime,
the better for the cause of virtue. Leave
such publications to the local press, and the
morals of the country will be greatly i'm

that point, the election turned But since
the close of the canvass, southern politi-
clans, finding that Kansas is hopelessly
lost to the South, have studied geography
and find that the claws of cliamate and
production '--not squattcr sovereignty
have driven slavery from it. That point
being settled, popular sovereignty, is dis
carded, by Congress, as a humbug, and
the laws passed b. the Legislature OF
Kansas are declared null and Woodland

TIM DISTRICT CoNvENTIoN.-We take
the liberty of suggesting to the American.
press of this Congressional District, that
the Convention be held at this place, and
on Tuesday, the, 18th of April: We
suggest this as the place, because it is both
central and acccssibleEmqrc so than any
other point; and the time, because, it al
lows full opportunity for all preliminary
arrangements In addition 10 this con-
sidcration, it may be urged that there are
three ,ayowed candidates for. the nomina-
ton to Congress, and that the, LISTS pro-
baby fun. e Although the Convention will
not be limited to these three, in its ehuice,
unless the delegates are instructed; the
presumption is that the contest will be
con6ued to them; and as they are all well
and. favorably known to the people of the
District, the sooner the choice is made, the
better for the harmony of the party. The
nomination of either Of these candidates.
By the Convention, if made now, would be
unanimously endorsed by the party; but
as rivaly is too apt to bcget i'll viii, the
sooner it is ended the better, Americans
are not slaves, whose highest duty is
passive obedience to- the will Of n master
wcrcits so, the above consideration would be
a very idle precautions. The manly indie
pcndcneo of the individual members
which can not be too much admired-may
lead to committals, and the awakening Of
u zeal in behalf of fayoritcs, always
dangerous, and sometimes fatal to unity
of action. ..Fr.-
When no persons have announced them
selves as candidates, before the Convention
there is no such danger because there arr
no individuals around whom to rally--th
candidate being only an abstract idea; bu
in our case, the gentlemen before the Con
vcntion, are, virtually, before the party
and preference is soon enlarged into ac
tive advocacy, which elirits corresponding
oprosition, and collisions engenders feel
incs adverse to that harmony 50 essential t
success. Then, we repeat, the sooner tn
Convention meets, the better, and the les
said about the respective merits and claim
of the candidates the greater the chanc
for unannimity and general satisfaction.
As we have already suggested, the dele
gates to the Convention should come en-
powered to nominate candidates Sor Senate
and Floatcr, as we'll as Congressman.
Since the above was in type, the Nash
viIle Patriot has designated the sdpo da
for,holdipg the Convention, but suggest
Nashville as the place. The reasons "
have assigned in favor of Clarksville, ar
we think, conclusive but there are otter
we could give, if necessary. 9
