SPEAKING AT ooD4EFTsvILI.E--Messrs
OuARLEs aud MENEEs. candidates Tor Congress
in this District, and. Messrs. CHEATHAM and
MERRITT, candidates for the Legislature, ad-
dressed large crowd at Goodlettsville, yes
terday.
We met last night number Of gentlemen
who were at Goodiettsville, and were assured
by them that Gen. QuARLEs's speech was one
of the most mastery efforts they have heard
during the canvass-that it was listened to
with profound attention, and was attended
with the best of results, confirming the
strong and strength ening lie weak. with all
DIR. MENEEss skill as stump speaker, he
utterly failed to stand before the bold argu-
ments and fervid eloquence OF Gen. QUARLEs.
After the candidates for Congress had spo-
ken. the candidates for Floater were heard.
We are told that Major CHEATHAM was most
unmercilul upon his competitor, building up
a wall of argument that he dared not en-
counter, and dcmolishing Mr.. MERRITT's
fraii fabric of specious sophisry at II single
blow.
Not long since Mr.. MERRITT was smtten
with oyerpowering desire to know something
about the Free Banking Law of New York,
and wrote 10 Mr.. FILLMORE for information
on the subj ct. In due time letter was re-
ceived from Mr.. FILLMORE, and paraded iii
the columns of the Uaion and ADaerican. Maj
CHEATHAM is now anxious TO know whether
Mr.. MERRITT. if elected 10 the Legislature
would vote for banking law similar to that
of New York; but Mr.. MERRITT will not give
him the information-he answers neither yes
nor no.
Mai. CHEATHAM charges that in Robertson
county Mr. MERRITT was in the habit of for
getting that he is a candidate for the
Legislature, and passed his time in enlighten-
lag the people how to vote, having much to
say about the =. last hoe , &C., and endorsing
Gov. HARRIS in toto. Since that time. Gov.
II. has re-eadorsed the September Resolutions
passed by a conclave of which Gov HI. was a
member, and now Mr. MERRITT repudlates
those resolutions, and still insists that he and
Gov. ii. occupy the same position on the car
rency question This beautiful consistency
Mai. CHEATHAM shows up most handsomely.
Poor MERRITT in entering the race against
Mai. CHEAUHAM, he has committed one OF the
greatest mistakes of his life.
