Say N. B. Dudy Esq, our candidate for the
Legislature is making fine impression wherever
he is heard. He is well posted, and speaks strongly
and to the point-addressing himself to the good
sense of the people, and giving facts in so plain
and tangible form that every one can take hold
of, and understand them. His opponent is a very
clever gentleman and does his best to uphold his
party; but we are told, he is overmatched-most
decidedly 80. 1t requires a man of great strength
to carry the weight which locoiocoism places upon
his shoulders.

p6y~ The Union and American thanks IL very In
consistent in us 70 be picking flaws in the Code
now, in connection with the votes Of DR.. Menees,
when we had nothing to say against it before he
was candidate The truth is, gentlemen, we had
no use for the Code until the doctor was nominated
and then only a means of investigating his
claims TO craftsmanship We do not like to hurt
the feelings of the editors of the organ by dwelling
upon a subject so painful to them the record of
their candidate for Congress, but sense of duty
impells as to call their attention to, and ask
PLANTATION Of, the following act for which, we are
told, he voted
"Salt sugar, coffee, spun cotton, garden seeds,
iron, and articles manufactured in this State, may
be sold without paying tax, but these articles are
not exempt in the hands of any person who sets
himself up a merchant or Grocer See Code, page
lT3.
Now if the Union and American can inform us
upon what principle of justice, of sound policy
this discrimination is made against Merchants and
Grocers, the information will be acceptable. A
farmer, mechanic, or any one else may sell sugar,
SALT Coffee, iron &C., without paying a tax; but the
moment man sets himself up as Merchant, OF
Grocer, even though he may deal in nothing but
the articles named above he must be taxed. What
is the reason that grocer has not much right to
sell sugar and coffee without tax, as his nex
neighbor who processes to be neither merchant moi
grocer. There ought to be reason for the dis
crimination-what is IL The man ''who sets him
self up as a merchant grocer ought to derive
some benefit from the privilege for which pays bu
every man who does not ''set himself up in tina
capacity, is here invited to compete, free of tax
with the merchant or grocer. We can not see tn
justic of such law.

Bay We learn from the Banner that there is a
secret organization, centering in Nashville, and
ramifying throughout this district, the object of
which is to defeat Gen. Quarles. The means to be
employed are, of course, all such as can be made
efficient and without regard to truth and fair deal
ing The many propositions made by democrats to
vote for Netherland, any other Opposition cand-
date, provided the Opposition man to whom the
proposition is made, will vote for Menees, go to
game And whilst we are unwilling to believe that
any members of the Opposition will suffer them
selves to be taken in by such trick, the rank and
file of the democratic party ought to be informed
that their leaders in this District willing to beat
Harris il they can, at the time, beat Quarles.
That this is true we have no doubt; and the game
is being actively played whilst Gen. Quarles is pre-
vented by family Affections from meeting his foes
in the open field Will not his friends, under such
peculiar disantages on his part, enter actively and
promptly into the contest, and meet at every point
his insdous ASSISTANTS? He is but the standard
battle calamity under its folds when freed from the
embarTaSsments OF domestic mlsfortunes, he Is
powcrless now, and every member of the Opposition
should consider it his especial duty to come toward
in his defence. We all equally interested in the
issue Of the contest and all should be equally Jealous
and active in support Of the principles advocate.
Every civil district should be thoroughly organized
sentines posted everywhere, and scouts detailed in
every direction to watch the movements of the
enemy. If this be not done, we have no right to
hope for victory, and surely do not deservet. The
time is short in which we have to work, and every
man in our ranks can set apart portion of that
time TO be devoted to the success of our cause
Victory is certain if We fight for it, men should
fight for their country defeat is equally certain, If
fold our arms in stlcss apathy whilst opponents
are straining every nerve to carry their point.
