Fellow Citizens, this is the record OF S. K.
n Patton just as il i,--hc would have you be-
licve in his "Clrcular" that he is rot the
man--bnt here is the record to show. Read
it fellow citizens, then 60 TO the polls and de-
eide welher he shall misrspre,ent you again.
Be Independent. i.-.-.s
Gentlemen this man Patton WAS erini-
nal. Maj. Gen George Stoncmon stepped up
TO him and took bis sword from him. Hs
was tried in Grceneville, Tennessee, by reg
ular Court Martial, and found guilty. 10
was sentenced to receive punishment for his
misdecds-but has not yot gotten his deserts
The charges preferred against him and upon
which he was tried will be found in another
column Of this paper-also The proceedings Of
the court and his sentence. IF you wish to
elect such a NM MS your Representative, you
are welcome TO him--bnt he can never repre-
sent me, nor misrtpre;ent me, without ,eoreh-
mgi ..#" 's
Had Patton kept his tongue in personal
matters, we think he would have Jared bet
ter.
If he is not satisfied with this dose, wo
propose to proceed with our treatment of tho
case, on tb. homeopathic system, as wc con-
slider oursclf the physician in charge. ~
Should, the case, at any time become CON IL
Gated or the disease chronic, the loyal public.
may rest assured thatwc have 1t in our pow
or to coll in some as good and intelligent
practitioners as ever rode the circuit" !.
is true we have dogs to bark for us OCCASION
ally--notbing like the Eetn report Of q pop
gun, or the bark OF a Coon, but regular, gen.
uine, full-booded Bulldogs, who, when they
do bark, shake the earth from centre 10 cir
conference.
Our official report Of the case we will trans
nit regularly through the columns of the
Union Flag, MS the symptoms Of the disease
Nrc gradually developed. At present We hnvo
to report tho patient quiet--pulse no
tongue moves with unusual velocity, md a.
rondom--whitcs of his eyes considerably en-
lorged-pupils protruding about an inch from
their sockets, more or less. II may become
necessary to administer small dose OF
"tincture Of iron,' or "sugsr Of lead" bu.
hope his pdsm win cease before this bo-
comes an actual necessity.
To the intelligent and loyal public, NO
