THE TWO

Some writer in the Lincoln Jour
nal recommends and urges the cIcc
ton of our fellow citizen and senator
elect, Tazcwell w. Newman, as Mc
man for tho Democracy TO make
speaker ofthe Senate at the meeting
of tho Legislature in Nashville next
month. The Probabilities are that Mr..
N. wiH be. Having served two terms
in the lower house, he is perhaps as
well acquainted with the duties that
will devoIye upon him, as any man
that could be selected.
For speaker Of the Lower House,
we notice q communication in the
Nashville Union and American, rec
ommending w. G. Whitlhornc, OF
West Tennessee, who is Il distin,
guished democrat and as deserving OF
his party as any nan in the state and
would, no doubt. fill the position with
ability. We predict that these two
men will be the iuo speakers.

THE PRESIDENCY

Speculation is now rifle as TO who
will be the nominees for the Prcsi-
dency In 1860, and amid the contrari-
city of opinions advanced, we have
concluded to keep the readers OF
The Home Journal posted ~ to the
most prominent names spoken OIL
First, we would mention Gen. Jo,
Lane, Of Oregon. The Memphis Az.
alanchs avows its preference for him
as tbe nominee Of Charleston Con.
,ention. The Nashville Union and
American, we think, favors him too.
Gen. Lane says he is content to place
himself in the hands of his friends,
md will take no step to bring him
self before the people as a candidate
The New York Herald says:
"Thc only Southern Statesman who
could command to-day n Presidential
vote in the North is General Houston
of Texas,andth only Northern States.
man who could obtain n vote in the
south is Mr.. Dickinson, Of New
York"
The Press, Mr.. Forncy's paper, says
also, that Gen. Houston is the candi
date Of Mr.. Buchanan lorthc Charles
ton nomination.
As regards Stephen A.. Douglas,
there is quite n division in regard tc
him. A paper is to be started a,
Jackson, Tennessee, soon, lavoginl
and urging his nomination. The
Democrats Of Bcrks county, (Pa.) me-
on The 23l Of August, and elected
four delegates to the State ConVcn
lion, instructed to vote from first tc
last, for Douglas delegates TO the
Charleston Convention. Bcrks is tho
strongest Democratic county in the
State, usually giving from 5000 to T.
600 Democratic majority. 1t may be
safely set down that Pennsylvania
will go for Douglas in the Charleston
Convention. And the feeling is pref,
ty strong the union over for Douglas,
still we don't think he will be the nom,
incc by a good deal. We may look
for exciting times next year, and if we
live we want to be at the Charleston
Convention, to see whether it moves
off smoothly, or "breaks up in row.
