FsrougSr ELECTIONS, The people
of Tennessee are always in the midst
of n canvass for some office. Only
last Thursday we weru all excited
about the election for Governor, Con-
.eress and the State Legislature
This week we are to vote for AN At
torncy General and Reporter for the
State, and next month the people OF
this city will be- called upon 10 vote
for u Mayor and members of the two
branches OF the city legislature. We
are n great people and mighty fond OF
the elective franchise; but it is our
opinion that these frequent elections
are about to oyerdo the thing.-NaS
uiH6 News.
There's room for thought in regard
to what the News says, and one
thought which its brief allusion has
brought TO our mind is this; Do we
all know what the men arc to do for
whom We vote! We do not You
can find thousands Of persons in Ten.
nessec to-day who actually are igno'
rant of the duties which devolvc
upon the men they send TO the vari'
Gus Offices to be filed periodically in
our State. There are thousands OF

Look for instance at our legislature
and see in these latter days what in.

filling our Legislature with men whose
minds are stored with legal lore and
sound common scnSc--mcn who can
stand upon the floor Of the hall and
proclaim boldly and knowingly our
rights, men who cannot be quilted and
whccdlcd into the support Of almost
any newborn schcmc-wc actually
send just the reverse. And what is
the effect ! All over the State We
have men offering for a seat in the
Legislature, who understand just
about as much Of what they Mo"M
understand, in order to make laws for
us, as a hog does Of llcbrcw--mcn
who are more i norant than many s
year.old school boys. And when an
ignorant, brazcn-laccd fellow sees
that the Office is filled by one 10 bet

are ready to cry down lawyers. Now.
it seems to us that the better lawyer

think not. And it actually has be-

he stands a chance Of defeat just on
that account. We seem to forget
that a brick mason is better at lnyin2
brick, a carpenter at his pIanc,a black
smith at his anvil, Il printer at his
types, and a Mmycr at his lar! If we
would remember this, perhaps we
should have to make and annuI fewer
laws than we do.

When brought into Court they did right
in refusing to give bail; and in my opin-
ion they now recede from the manly po-
sition which they have assumed. BY
these noble acts they have inscribed their
names upon most important page of our
history. They no longer act for them
selves in this business, but for justice, for
liberty, for the cause of freedom. The
eyes of the nation are upon them. They
should bear in mind the character of the
people of this portion of our gallant State
They should remember the pilgrim IA
theirs from whom they have descended.

trust her SONS will meet the response

As to the future, I see no other course
for the prisoners than patiently to await
events. Their counsel will apply to the
Supreme Court of our State for habeas
