By From the hrst Federal election down to the
election Of Van Buren, eminent public services were
the test Of fitness for the Presidency. But since
that period, and under the organisation ofthe dem
oeratc party, that rule has been reversed because
unknown men were most available. What has
Brechiurdge ever done to .ntile him to nomina-
ton for the Presidency The records OF the coun-
try furnish no clue to any deed in arms, to no prea,
measure ofpublic policy originated by him, and he
has no earthly claim beyond his democracy and his
readiness as mere stump speaker For the coun-
try, he has done absolutely nothing, and this worth
lessness seems to have pointed him out as the most
hitting tool for the ruin of country which he has
never served to any good purpose; and his party
seem to have acted upon the suppositieu, that he
who has never done any good, must be omnipotent
LOT evil. Polk made him Major, but he never
did any fighting before or since; democracy made
him Vice President, but neither before nor since
has he shown himself worthy of the Office And
now Yancey has made Kim leader of the disunion
party, and for all time to come his history will be
bank-he is a used up politcian--his short-siphted
ambition has dug his political grave

EDITOR CHRONICLE The last Legislature of our
State so amended the Charter of the City of Clarks-
vile as to require the election of Mayor and Board
of Aldermen, to take place on the first Saturday in
October OF each year. As that time is rapidly APP
preaching, it might not be ont of place to make
some enquiry as to who should probably represent
us, in the MayOraty for the ensuing twelve months.
Our city is rapidly increasing in wealth and pros
perity, our tdres increasing streets and avenues
improving, our Gas Works healthy, and the Water
Works coming; hence the Importance of having
useful and strong man to keep things moving on. l
hope, therefore, you will not consider intruding
in suggesting the name of Chas G. Smith as sui
table man for the times-a man who is always at
home and ready for business although never hav-
ing split any rails, we convinced he has paid the
hands to their entire satisfaction. Will Mr.. Smith
let us hear from him?

and has substituted dsunion, for the democratic
