MANCHESTER. Tenn, Nov. 10Th, 1858.
To the Editor Of the Uaioa and american:
1 beg leave, through ytur columns, to address
few words to the Democrats of the Fourth Congress
sOnsl District in regard to the selection Of our next
candidate for Congress.
There are abundant Indications that the two vings
Of the opposition are rapidly amalgamsting and
concentrating their forces thiougb0us the country
with the view of securing the ssesndency in the
next Congress Their success in the recent elections
at the North ought to impress every Southern Dem
oorat with the importance of turning an early and
earnest attention to the business Of securing solid
phalahx Of true men from the South. 1t is with this
feeling that venture to call attention to the impor
lance Of early action in own district. We should
bear in mind that cur district has always been and
viii continue to be a battle ground.
The first matter for consideration is the selee
ton of sound and reliable democrat as our stand.
ardebearer.
The next and almost equally important thing to
be looked to is the selection of strongest man.
We have sound men in abundance AMI able men in
abundance, but in my judgment we have one
who possesses in an eminent degree all the requis-
ties of soundness, ability, and strength. Without
wishing to disparage the claims of others, think
may safely say that the best man for the contest
all things considered, is the Hon. HARVEY NJ. Wat
TsRsoN, Of Warren county. This gentleman is SO
we'll known to the democrats Of the district, that
need not dwell upon his high qualifications for the
position. He has served our party with efficiency
and fidelity both inthe Legislature and in Congress-
as well as our representative abroad. he has been
emphatieally working democrat, though for num-
Der of years he has neither sought nor held any
public Office think it is time that We should again
command his services aud the present crisis calls
for the selection of men who not only sound and
able, but who can unite with enthusiasm cur whole
strength. Such a candidate MIR. WATrERsOE would
make, and with him as our leader our triumph will
be sure. The county of Coffee is proud of Mr. Wat
TERsOE, and is ready to show her high appreciation
Of him. What ssy the democrats Of the other cOun-
ties COFFEE.

Preptice,s Lecture--IEis visit Worth.

A gentleman who is entirely free from partisan
bias sends us a very just and well written review
of PRESrIors lecture in Glsrksvile-the same which
was delivered in this city on Saturday evening last
We endorse Our correspondents opinions Of the
merits of the lecture and We believe do majority
Of those who heard him here. A very ill-natured
and uncharitablc construction is placed by Mr..
PRENTICE upon the visit of the Hon JEFFERSON
DAVIS to the northern ateF ior although Mr.. DAVIS
is not mentioned by name the language of the
lecture is only q repetition of the bitter assaults
formerly made upon him through the columns
Of the Journal. We understand that the lecturer
intends making tour through ihe north during the
winter. Whether he goes as ambassador from JOHN
BELL to VIM H. SEWARD, is not certainly known,
but no doubt is entertained by the knowing ones,
that his vsitnort as well south has reference to
The Union CT the Know Nothing and Black Repub
Iican parties.

The Currency--COncIusiOnssOF the PeOpI

The peopIe of Tennessee have for years been lord
ed over By set Of aristocratie, moneyed corpora
lions and cursed with worthless and rotten paper
currency The experience Of the past, and the in
formation concerning banking operations and the
evils of paper money, with which they have been
furnished by the recent and thorough investigations
which the subject has undergone, have led them to
the conclusions:
That gold and silver is the only constitutional,
sound aud perfectly reliable currency.
That there is or will be, when our paper circula-
ton is driven out enough of it in the country to
answer all the demands of trade and commerce.
That is the only sure and sound basis Of credit.
That it is the best and most reliable regulator Of
the exchanges of the country.
That banks and paper money are great and dan
gerous evils.
That they have been the cause of all the monetary
commissions and financial troubles that have afflicted
the country.
That, so far from making money plenty, they rem
der it scarce, by driving the gold and sllTer-the
only real mOney-out Of circulation.
That their tendency is to enrich the few at the ex-
pense Of the maDy-to pull dewn the poor and build
up the rich man.
That. by begettiBg useless spirit of speculation
creating morbid appetite for expensive and useless
Iuxuries and engendering extravagant and foolish
habits Of living they corrupt the morals, destroy
the industry and psTalyze the energies Of the COM
munities in which they exist
And lhab WhAlo NV 10y ~ - '-N
facilities which they furnish to the trade and com
n1srra and the benefits which they confer upon the
people OF the country, fall far short Of oOmpensat
ing for the cost of their maintenance and the evils
which result from their existence.
They, the people, have, therefore, determined
l. That they will reduce the circulation Of the
State to purely metallic currency.
.. That all the ext ting banks shall go out Of eX
istence with he expiration Of their charters and
no new banks of issue shall be chartered
g. That all means shall be taken, consistent with
the Incorporated rights Of those institutions, TO
render the circulation Of the banks more safe ana
more easily convertible into specie.
