ED. NAsHSEL lNTELLIGgNCER:
The question wich just now agi
tates the mind NV Kentucky more,
perhaps, than any thing else, is; who
shell be the nominee NV the next
Nashnel Dimocratic Convenshun !?
There are many gentlemen spoken Nv
in connecshun with the place, and
their claims purpose, breefy, to con-
slider from q Kentucky. stand-Riat-
The first is Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan,
whose body hez been recently raised
for the perpose. Gen. Mcclellan is
not, i don't think, Objectionable to
the Southern people. They hev a
natural and normal objection to any
one who drawd the sword agin EN- in
the late onpleasantnis, but they do
not bleeve that Cen. G. B. did this.
At least eff he did it, it wuz only fig
erative. His services to the Confed-
eracy in buryin the tens Nv thousands
NV Federal soljers afore Richmond,
the brilliant strategy NV his lootenants
in tyin the hands ov Pope and Burn
side, and keepin them from hurtin
us, and finally, his runnin with Pen
dleton agin Linkin, all bind him to
the Southern heart. Any one who
Good hev run agln Linkin in 1864,
they consider must hev bin troo to
the South. He is the soothinest man
to the Southern people wich ever
wore bloc. But he wont anser. In
the first place there isn't time between
this and the next election for him to
make up his mind whether he will ac-
cept the nomination or not; and sec
ondiy eff he did decide in time he
lacks prestige. He hez been detected
wunst, hez George, and it wont do 10
take up q whipt rooster. Evidently
he is out of the ring.
Next on the carpet is Pendleton.
Geo. Z. Pendleton, say unhesita
tinly, won't do. He won't anser.-
Their is too CRATE distance atween
him and the masses NV his party
He uses good English, and wears
clean shirt collars, and no sich man
kin hev the confidence and esteem Nv
the Democracy NV the trooly Dino
cratic States. These things, 700 may
aver, are small and inconsequenshel
but deny it. They are NV vital i'm
portance. Their is q material affinity
between Dimocrasy and dirty collars
Didst never observe when PendletoI
addrest the freemen NV Iniiany, how
cold and stun-like wuz the aujience
ez his finished periods fell upon theil
ears ? Didst never hear Henry Clay
Dean, whose shirts are worn three
consecutive months, and whose stock
ins are never changed? Didst never
notis how he lifted EN-? 1t ain
that there's eny difference in wat they
say--its in the shirt collar. Beside
Pendleton hez none Nv the qualitie.
necessary to successful candidacy
He wuz born tollable well off, anG
hadn' Eary a struggle in his yooth.--
He didn't drive on the canal ant
study Algebra on the back NV a kick
in mule, and get knockt of by pro
fame Captain for neglectin his duty
The wuzn't born in a log cabin in th'
backwoods, neither did he study
grammer by the lite NV pine knot
which he held in one hand and thu
book in the other. He didn't learl
shoemakin in his boyhood's daze
when the death Nv his father, wicl
wuz lamented by all who knew him
drove the family into humble power
Ity; neither did he, while upon tn
shoe bench, feel within him the era
wins NV noble ambishen, and risin
rush with his apron on to law Off
and demand to be reserved ez
student. None Nv these. He WI;
born Nv rich but respectable parence
who put him thro college and startes
him in life es comfortable ez ever
young man WIZ started in the world
It's plane to me that Pendleton won
do.
