The Canvass.

CONVICTION, May II.
To the Editors of the Pdtriot:-The candidates
for Governor addressed large crowd here
yesterday. The discussion was opened by
Gov. HARRIS who made about the same speech
that he published in the Union The Demo-
Gratis were evidently disapp Ointed. The letter
writers had been cracking him ups to such a
high pitch that they had been made to believe
he had improved and was making wonderful
speeches. He looks very much faded and
unless NETHERI.AND slackens his la9Hbastings,
l do not think he will hold out through more
than half the canvass. He evidently looks
whipped, and shows a loss of temper too
often.
Col. NETHERLANDS reply was an able and
mastery effort. He brushed away the petty
charges made by Gov. HARRIS like SO many
cobwebs, and then let himself into argument,
clear, logical and convincing. He showed
off the profigacy and corruptions of the adj
ministration to the great discomfort of Gov.
III. and his friends, and in such a manner
that Gov. Ii. could never clear up. The
honest and patriotic portion of the Demo-
cracy of Upton opened their eyes, when they
saw these exposures of their party, made by
Col. n. and unrefuted by Gov. II. He slashed
Gov. Ii. awfuly on the currency question,
and among all candid, unbiased minds, gained
signal and complete victory. If the dis
cussiOn has passed off elsewhere as it did
here, we do not fear the result in August.
There never has been time our party has
gone into a canvass in this county in better
spirits, or more resolved and determined to
succeed. The fires are burning brightly, and
the work goes bravely on. You will hear a
good report from Upton when she rolls in
her vote on the first Thursday in August next.
The Congressional canvass is progressing
finely. ETHERIDGE's election is regarded as
one of the fixed facts" He is making a bril-
liant canvass.
Col BUMPAss our candidate for the State
Senate will be elected with ease. He is a
strong mana peoples man, and ,oiH grace
and dignity a seat in our next Senate. That
we regard as settled.
RoLFE S. SAUNDERS, formerly of your sec
ton, is our candidate for Joint Representa-
tive from Shelby, Fayette and Upton. He
is active in the field, and although he has
some five hundred majority to overcome we
have high hopes Ofhis success. He will make
a gallant fight, and we hope to "put him
through" over any man the Democracy may
bring out against him.

The Candid ates for FIoater.

After the conclusion of the discussion be-
tween the candidates for Congress at the
Court House on Saturday, the crowd called
for r. B. CHEATHAM, Esq, who responded in
a brief address. in which he declared himself
In favor Of the re-charter of the Union and
Planters Banks with proper restrictions, and
opposed to the theory recently propounded
of an exclusive gold and silver currency.
A. G. MERRITT. E>q., was also called upon
and responded in few remarks. At the
close, Mr.. FuIcHER, n Democrat Of the 10th
district. asked Mr.. MERRITT if he was in favor
of n re-chartcr of the Union and Planters
Bank with proper restrictions. His reply
was somewhat eyasive, and unsatisfactory
but we suppose he occupies the same ground
as Gov. HARMS.

Southern Preachers.

Dr. Cross in letter TO the Richmond Ad-
sooate, writes as we quote, aud the malignant
New York Post parades the extract in its
columns, introducing it with remarks in
which it calls it "a daguerreotype OF the
Southern preachers"
He encompasses himself with rainbows,
= and IN teors. and earthquakes. aud cataracis,
and hurricanes, aud water-spouts. and showers
OF gems and torrents and hre, and bonndless
CONGREGATIONS, aud marshaled philosophers
and troOping seraphim, and the stupendous
wheels of Providence and the silver Ginning
OF the spheres. and the weltering choas OF de
molished worlds"
We presume that the writer--says the New
Orleans Cresoeef--intended to burlesque the
peculiar style OF oratory OF Southern " coun-
try preachers" those self denying ministers
of the truth, who ride their wide circuits over
hill aud plain. tire ding solemn forests and
swimming their horses over deep rivers, and
who, IN. d,talng amid the lonely grandeur of
nature, find their souls filled with that spirit
of imagery which, attuned 10 faith and pivty,
sparkles IN rude but fervent and effective elo-
auence from the lips OF the ardent preacher
of the wilderness, appealing familiarity to the
uncuitiyated intelIeels ofihe hearers. wrought

CONVICTION, May 16, 1859.
The candidates for Governor addressed
large and attentive audience here to-day
The discussion was opened by Gov. Harris,
who devoted the principal part of his speech
to the ''nigger" question. He made lame
attempt TO set himself right on the currency
question ;bnt it was so like an attempt to ride
on both sides of The sapling at the same time
that it was any thing hut clear to his audience
or satisfactory to an npr'judiced mind. He
labor hard throughout, and looks con-
siderably ''worsted.n He evidently feels that
Col. Netherland has got him down.
Col. Netherlands speech was clear, con-
vincing, logical. He is an able, earnest and
effective speaker, who is eminently calculated
TO please the people. He in$truets them
with sound reasoning and statsmanlike views
and at the same time spices his speech with
an abundance of good humor. / wish | had
the time to give you an outline of his speech
to-day; but as you and most of your readers
will hear him in few days. will defer that
purpose. He riddled the democratic platform
upon which Gov Harris was placed by the
Nashville Convention-knOcked bis currency
position iutO .'pi''-showed up the sham De-
mocracy in their true colOrs, and took all the
hide off of old Buck and his Administration,
which he could get Gov. Harris only to in
dorse "generally.' 1t was a mastery effort.
and will tell at the ballot-box on the election
day. Before the crowd. and it was largely
democratic, Col. Netherland had his COM
petitor, "gOOd." Our friends are all in the
highest spirits, while our democratic friends
don't begin to look so cheerfully as they did
two years ago.
The Opposition are thoroughly aroused in
this county, and they go into this canvass
with the determination to work as they did
in the good and glorious old days of 1910

"You ought to have been a Boy.n

Antoinette Brown Blackwell made speech
at the Woman's Rights Meeting held at Mo-
Fart Hall. New York, on Thursday evening
last. The Times says of her appearance, "she
came forward, dressed all in black silk, with
flowing sleeves of lace and of silk, looking
younger than ten years ago, composed and
prepared" She said:
The first demand of woman was that le-
gally she should be made equal with man
she asked only justice. shakespeare is my
demi-gOd,r said male critic; "but if he were
a woman would not marry him" First,
man would lay the scalpel to the brain and
pare away all its surplus. before his wife
would suit him. She spoke Of father, who,
sitting by the open coffin of his only son, says,
out of his Observation-Disclosures, to his daugh-
ter, who comes to weep with him: 'Oh, my
dear child. / wish you were a boy" discover
ing to his insulted daughter that his pride
and ambition are bleeding more than his love.
But she takes boys for her model. She does
all that boys would do. hoping to win the
love of her father. Boys study Latin-she
studies Latin and receives the first honors-
the delighted father again insults her when
he speaks his heart to her, "Oh, my daughter,
you ought to have been boy"

A Card from a. II. Crozier, Esq.
NASHVILLE. Nav 18th 1859.

To The Editors Of the Republican Banner
The article in your paper of yesterday,
CAPPED from the Knoxville Wing, relative to
the selection of the Bank of East Tennessee
as agent to receive the State revenue, makes
it necessary that | should briefly state the
facts. There is no difficulty about any OF the re-
venue except that paid subsequent to the pas
sage of resolution ofthe Legislature OF 1853
f. directing dsbursing officers of the State to
deposit in the Union, Planters, or State Banks.
After the passage of this resolution notified
the Bank of Tennessee of the fact, and stated
at the time that unless the Bank of Tennessee
saw proper to make some other arrangement
would as Comptroller, direct the State re-
venue To be deposited in the Union Bank.
The Bank paid an agent. Mr.. Dibrell to go
with me to Knoxville in July, 1854. In
July 1855 the branch of the Bank of Tennes
see at Athens sent an agent to Knoxville to
receive the revenue. Subsequent to this
was Informed by the Bank of Tennessee that
an arrangement had been made with the
Bank of East Tennessee to receive the re-
venue; knowing that IA letter had been writ
ten by the cashier of the State Bank to the
Bank of East Tennessee, directing the latter
to receive the revenue, | applied through 4
friend at Knoxville a few months since for Il
copy. which was denied me. The letter,
however, has been shown to the present
Comptroller, Gen. Dunlap, and others, and it
would have been just rs easy for the writer of
the article in the Wing to have published the
facts as to have given publication to the
falsehood. The Bank of East Tennessee
never had any account in the Comptroller's
or Treasurer offices after the passage of the
resolution in 1854. Every trip | made to
Knoxville Tor the purpose Of settling revenue
after the passage of the resolution, an agent
from the Bank of Tennessee was there to re-
ceive it. 1t was not my duty to report de-
linquent officers for the revenue or 1855, as
went out of Office in January 1856. and the
custom of the office by myself and predeces-
sors was 90 report in August OF the succeed
ing year, all delinquents to the Attorney
General. AS TO the suits between the Bank
of East Tennessee and myself, as well as those
against the Traders Bank, the public are not
concerned. | am perfectly willing that the
courts should settle, ard | know those parties
interested in the raiders Bank have no sort
of objection TO the mode of settlement chosen
by the Bank of East Tennessee. | had moth
ing to do with the revenue paid into the
Bank of East Tennessee In 1886, as | was out
Of Office, and think it will be shown on trial
of the cause that my successor. Col. LuttTell
counselled the revenue collector owing by far
the largest amount for that year. against pay
ing his revenue to the Bank of East Tennes-

SrRANGE.-Less than two months ago we
had nine mails a week from Nashville, which
being n Distributing Office. is the point
whence we procure most Of our letters. Now
the service has been reduced To three mails
per week. This reduction takes place during
our busiest season when letters become very
important, and especially during :he exist
ence of war which makes easy intereom-

We consider that our annual commerce a.
mounts to from five TO eight millions of dol
lars, ii is easy 10 perceive that this reduction
of the mail service operates as great injury
10 all our producers aud dealers.
We learn that the horse mail contractor,
Mr.. Hockersmith. tried to pay debt Of S25
with Government assurances or scrip, and
that his creditor refusing TO receive the
same, the contractor threw mp the contract
Ii is also said that the creditor said, that he
rather would have the note of the contractor
than the certificate Of Uncle Sam. All this
occurred in Montgomery county.-ClarksviLi.
