Dover, TENN, Dec, 2S, 1858.
EDITORS OF THE CHRoNIcLE:-Having
learned. a few days since, that the Hon.
y. K. Zollicoffer, our able and talented
Representative in Congress, had signifed
his intention not to become a candidate
for reelection; our citizens, for time,
were at loss to know who to select as his
successor and although We deeply regret
the withdrawal Of Gen. Zollicoffer, yet we
can more easily submit to the same, whom
we cherish the hope that the eagle of
Montgomery" Gen. James M. Quaries,
will consent to have his name canvasscd in
that convention and since the withdraw
al Of Gen. Y. the party, with one accord,
have turned their eyes to him as our next
candidate. Gen. u. is emphatically q man
in every sense Of the word--one, too, that
is an ornament to any party or state-he
now stands out as one OF the greatest men
in the Union ard while we resign our
selves to his withdrawal from the Halls of
Congress, we can oply hope that it is the
first step to some higher position in the
government, which he will fill with IS much
honor to himself and credit to his constit-
uents rs he does the position he now &C.
cupies. We do not know that Gen. Quarles
would accept the nomination for Congress
were it rendered to him but we feel no
hesitancy in saying that he is, by nm over
whelming majority, the choice Of Stewart
county. His splendid talents, and the
high degree Of respect and esteem in which
he is held by all persons and parties in this
Congressional District, point to him as
particularly suited to contend with the
Democracy of the present day; and it is
our belief that if he would permit his name
to be run, he would carry the District by
q greater majority than any man in it.
Gen. Quarlcs is we'll and widely known
and all who know him, know him but to
love and honor him. Bold, fearless, yet
courteous in debate he stands out promi-
nently one of the greatest men in Tennes-
see. He never hesitated to level his ar
tilery in tho proper direction, and scatter
to the winds the rotten platform of De-
mocracy, let the consequences be what
they will. AS DICTATOR, he has no supe-
rior in the state. AS an e!ectioneerer he
can not be surpassed, aud as an advcc,te
of Americanism, he is in the lead, From
present indications Of political affairs, this
10 the kind Of man we want to make the
canvass for Congress, and we therefore
hope that Gen. Quarles will at once an
nounce himself as a candidate, subject, OF
course, to a convention should one be cal
led by our party, and by so doing, he will
comply with she wishes Of his fellow citi-
gems Of STEW ART.

Through the politeness of our much
esteemed friend DIR. A. i. Hamilton, Pres
ident and Superintendent of the Female
College at Clarksville, Tenn, VIC received
a late number of that excellant paper, the
name of which heads this article, from
which we learn that the Institution COT
which our friend is at present the head,
than whom there is none more suitable,)
contcmplates in short time, to enlarge
their buildings, and that too, in a manner
which will not only reflect credit upon all
concerned, but will be an ornament to the
modern seven-hilled city, whose fame al
ready begins to spread far and wide, and
we have no doubt but that if DIR. Hamil-
ton remains in their school, and the
Chronicle, true to its name, continues to
chronicle and advocate the same-that it
will not be long before its Female scool
will have as great name as any school
ever had in the former mistress of the
world, which was anciently set on seven
hills. Will the Chronicle please X.

RGy- The Union and american charac-
terises the Opposition" as party in search
of a platform. We think the Nashville
organ is slightly mistaken, and venture to
suggest that opposition to sham democra-
cy is, of itself, a platform broad enough
for all good and true men to stand upon,
and comprehensive enough in its scope,
succinct enough in regard to principles to
meet the most enlarged views of govern
mental policy, and the pliDutest scrutiny
into The means whereby reform is to be
effected. If however, there were any DIFF
fcslty about getting platform, the oppo-
sition could easily pick up one of the dozen
locOfoco platforms lying Loose about, with
entire confidence that it would not be re-
cogniEed by the party which once used il
as the embodiment of sound and immuta-
BILE principles. That it would be out of
character with the party that borrowed it,
could be Of no consequence since it was
never designed TO be anything moro than
a text to which the sermon had no relation.
Opposition to locoioco rule implies every
thing wise and conservative in the admin
istration of the government-eyerything
that can tend to elevate public and private
morals aud if this is not platform enough,
let US hear from the Union and Americou.

CLkRrsvILLr. Dec. %. 1853

Mesws Edifors.-since the announce
ment, in the press, Of our distinguished
Representative in Congress that he did not
desire are-election, / have received num-
erous calls--both through the newspapers
and by letter--ftom my friends in the diff.
ferent counties composing this Congress
sional District, to permit my name to be
used before nominating convention Of
our party, as a candidate to represent this
district in the next Congress. Returning
to them my unfcinned thanks for the com
pliment manifesto in the calls-and for
the very catering terms in which til y
have seen TT to speak Of me personally in
connection with this high trust-I have
only to add that am candidate for Con-
gress in this district--subject to the rsti.
fcation of my party in convention Assem-
bled.
Respectfully

A CARD

Unwilling to be considered an appli-
cant for political preferment, from this
district, in the next Congress Of the Uni
ted States, as the invitation Of many kind
friends would seem to Indicate, none ofwhom
are more highly appreciated than tho op.
position press of this city, take this OPP
portunity promptly to decline.
1t is we'll known that l have never
sought or desired Office of any kind, and
whenever my political associates have de-
sired the use of my name for Legislative
or Congressional honors, I have chosen TO
regard their solicitations, as expressions
more of their personal friendship, than
any particular fitness or merit Of my own
for such exalted positions.
declare now, as on former occasions
that have no taste for political life.-my
feelings incline me differently, and my
pursuits IN life would never justify It.
The unanimous vote of nominating
Convention, presenting me as a candidate
of the opposition, tempting and highly
complimentary as it would be, and much
as 1 would regret to disobcy call emana
ting from so high source and from par
ty, too, with which it has always been my
pride and pleasure to act, would offer nc
additional inducement for a change Of
purpose on my part
"The private station" with me "is the
post of honor" and my only aspirations
have been to merit, at all times, the conf
dence and esteem of my fellow citizens -
l must therefore be excused from partici
pating in the political struggles of the
day, at least SO far as becoming a candi
date for Office is concerned / am content
to remain private in the ranks, and my
zeal for the success of our principles, hav
ing, in no wise, abated. Twill ever b.
found at my post, working with hearty
good will, for their ultimate triumph.
In conclusion, here tender my friends
one and all, the grateful homage of my
heart for the late renewed assurance oil
their former good opinion, and remain re
spectfully,

@w We understand that report is in
circulation through the adjoining counties
in Kentucky, to the effect that all the to-
bacco brought to the Warehouses in this
place, has to be inspected whether it is
sold or not, whilst such is not the case at
the Warehouses on the other side Of Red
River. The obscurity of the statement
ought to be its own refutation; but since
nothing is too absurd to obtain credence
nowadays, we feel the necessity of Civ
ing fat denial of the ridiculous report.
The Inspectors of the Warehouses in this
place. are the Inspectors Of all others in
the county, and acting under general law,
their duties are the same at every point
The enactment of the Legislature makes
no discrimination for, or against any local
ity, and if the report, in question, were
true of Clarksvile, the same state Of case
would necessarily exist at all the Ware
houses in the county. Tobacco is not in
spected here when it is not offered for sale
except under the instructions of the own
err, and any other statement is untrue.
We hope the report originated in misap-
prehension, and that they who have given
it currency will lose no opportunity for
correcting it.

Fronr WashingtOn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Direct intelli-
gence from Havana reiterates that much
excitement prevails there concerning the
Presidents message, but affords no basis
for the belief that revolutionary move
ment is contemplated. The general tone
of the advices is such as to warrant the
assertion that the intervention of the
French government has not been request
ed for any purpose; while it is repeated
that the authorities of Tampico have,
through the efforts Of the Captain General
of Cuba, satisfied their claims of certain
Spanish subjects, this being an isolated
case.
From another source of information in
this city, there are doubtless good grounds
for the recent telegraphic statements from
New Orleans concerning the fllibuster
movement against Cuba.
The Central American States are more
than ever impressed with the necessity Of
forming a confederacy for their mutual
protection 1t is said to be highly prob
able that Nicaragua will take no decisive
action relative to the Cass " rissar treaty
until after the arrival of VIM. Gore Ouse-
ley. who was daily expected.
The Government has just received Mex
lean dates to November 25th, which came
overland by special messenger.
1t appears from the official dispatches
that the st. Mary's arrived very oppor-
timely at Guaymas, on the 10th of No
vember.
The truth of the rumor that Mr.. Ain
zia, who had been imprisoned at Guaymas
and set at liberty, is confirmed.
Tho connections for the present had sub
sided, and the regular authorities restored
to the possession of the city, yet the pub
lie mind was still agitated by the local
troubles, as we'll as by political animosities
growing out of the recent revolution in
Sonora.
The commander of the st. Mary's found
Frederick Goerlitz, an American citizen,
confined in Jail, and procured his dis
charge.
The Commander of the ST. Mary's has
not saluted the flag nor the project, and
it was not his intention to pay any mill
tary honors to the Governor, Pesqueira
who, it was said, was on his way to Quay
hias.
Pesqueira was carrying on active war
against the adjoining States of Cinaloa
and by the last reports, had gained VIC
tory at Lamesia, near Culiacan, which
opened the road to the city of Mazatlan,
towards which, it is said, he was moving
Information had been received of the cap.
ture of Guadalajara. by Degollade, of the
Juarez party. After the assassination Of
Blascante, the military commander, the
city had been delivered up to pillage.-
When this news reached Mazatlan, the in.
habitants determined to defend their city
against the COnstitutionalists. The French
residents banded themselves together foi
mutual protection, and all the foreigners
had contributed the means of making an
addition of 400 men to the regular garri
SON.
