THE LEGISLATURES,
FIoaferLal District.

NASHVILLE, July ], 1S69.-To the peo-
pie of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery
and Cheatham counties: Solicitations by
letter and in person received for the past
few weeks from every county in this float
erisl district, and representative, as am
induced to believe, of the solid and sub.
stantial portion Of the constituency, have
brought me forward as candidate for
your suffrages for seat in the next Legis-
lature.
In obedience to these calls, hereby an
nounce myself a candidate, and propose
to meet assemblies of the people on every
proper occasion before the 9Th of August.
l do not affect that do not desire to be
elected, though, for myself, 1 could more
probably employ the time. But, believ-
ing that | understand the immediate
business necessary for the promotion OF
the interests of the people of the district,
and that some previous legislative expe-
rience has qualified me for the position,
offer myself. ..-.-'.,.6 s.E r..-
/ am in favor Of the most prompt &C
ton that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature or the people in their sovereign
opacity under the Bill of Rights, or all
topjoined, to secure the asse milling oil
Convention at the earliest practi-
able moment to amend the con-
|. tuition and laws, and remove
all existing disabilities in regard to the
elective franchise. The most feasible plan
conformahle to law, is the best, and theone
will favor by vote and voice. The priv.
ileges nov enjoyed by any portion of the
community, | do nos propose TO disturb.
The business interests Of this constituent
cy in several important features demand
legislstionl. The mercantile community, in
my judgm en- needs a representative who
comprehends their wants and sympaihizes
with their condition under present laws
The general economic interests of the PEG.
pie in every pursuit, while requiring
broader and more liberal legislation, should
be under the discipline of stricter statutes
and such measures shall receive my sup
port. .a[
In this brief card, these are all the
points necessary to alluded to, but in be.
coming candidate l expect to meet voteri
of every kind and deal frankly, and with
this view, | lay my name before you.
