counties OF the State are generally preparing to hold
county meetings on the first Monday in January, to
appoint delegates 70 the Democratic State Conven-
tiOn, We trust The Democracy Of every county in
the State win lake the proper steps to be repre-

We learn that the wire workers of the Know,
nothing party shout Nashville entirely ignoring
the claims Of our toWnsman, Gen. James N. Qusrles
for Congress, and have determined to put Nash
vile man upon the track 1t is said that Mr.. Bell
is at the bottom Of the movement, and that he re-
cards it as matter Of high consequences in connee-
trict shall send an anti-LecomptOn member to the
next Congress- and that he should be q warm and
undoubtsd John Bell man, which Gen. QuArles is
not supposed to be. We say it, 'snd We say II
boldly" there Is fun ahead. Unless We much mis-
take the signs Of the times and the temper Of the
man the General is not TO be showed aside on this
occasion for the benefit of John Bell or any one
else BE regards this as the appointed time, the day
Of his political CIarkSUale JsfersoniaH.
IsHsN G. HARR1s-It will be seen that we have
placsd the name Of opr present worthy Governor at
our mast head as candidate for reelection, sub
sect 70 the decision Of the Convention.
We prefer Governor Harris because he has been
tried and has come fully mp the expectations Of
his party and because We do not think that even
the continual fault-hnding opposition party, can
find Hag in his course IS Governor CT Tennessee.
If be should be the nominee, we hope that the
opposition will be able to put some man cut against
him who will be able to afford him some amusement
in the race.
Keep your boys at home, friends, and run man
for Governor this time.-Psrdy gus.
