The gentleman whose name heads
this article, is a candidate for Hoater
in the district composed of the coun-
ties of Montgomery, Cheatham, Da-
wilson and Robe rtson. Mr.. Cheat
ham is not unknown to our people,
having once represented our 1oterial
district i'm the Legislature. He will
make ali able, active, energetic mem
Der, and we hope that our people will
rally to his support to a man. His
competitor, we understand, is one
Warren Jordan, Of Cheatham, seal
awag, who now misrepresents the
the people of this district. He is q
venomous and malignant radical
who during his term in the Legisla'
ture has consistently supported to the
extent of his limited ability, all the
infamous and OF pressive measures Of
his party. He has gone as far as his
hatred and sens, would allow in in
sulting the peop and trampling up
on their most sacred rights. Let
them rise in tl,elr might and SEND
him bowling to his hole of oblivion
where he will have all the remainder
of his unhappy life, to reflect ON tho
outrages he has been able, during Q
period of accidental power to infiicI
upon the rights of the people among
whom he was r,ised, and whose con
tempt in one unendlng stream vii
fall upon his devoted head.

GENTLEMEN 1 have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your COM
munication, dated 18th inst, in which
you "desire to know explicitly wheth-
er you U) am in favor of the speed
lest method of repeating the fran
chise acts SO justly styled by you as
"odious'' and "obnoxious, ~ and Of
enfranchising the people. 2 ,.l...e
/ have always believed that taxa
ton and representation should go
hand in hand, and that no man has
the right to govern another. man
without his consent. When MEM
Der of the Senate, j enunciated these
doctrines, and strove with all the
ability 1 possessed to have them car
ried into practical legislation by q
repeal of the franchise acts. / urged
that the system of political proscrip-
ton then i'm force, was unwise and
unjust, and said to Senators that 1--we
have class of men voting who pay
no taxes, and we are setting here
feeding upon the substance of men
who are debarred the privilege of vo-
ting and who pay taxes to support
us,n that these tax payers should be
represented on this floor, and to Sc
cure this representation, 1 endeav-
ored to get the Legislature to recog-
nize the right of all to, vote. As
stated in that speech, this right to
sutrage was "no new project OF
ment itself.n 1t will outlive all
forms of government, and by its rec
Ognition alone, can people be free,
Profoundly convinced of the truth
of this elementary principle in Gov
eminent, believing as do, that the
present dividend condition of oul
finances, and the widespread discon.
tent in the State, can be clearly traced
to its overthrow, and that neither
peace, prosperity nor happiness will
exist within our borders until we
shall be brought to condemn thepres
ent system, and sustain the right
you may be assured, that if shall
be honored with o seat in the Gen
eral Assembly, / will advocate thu
speediest possible mode of enfran'
chising the whole body of the people
/ shall not be content to wait fol
Constitutional amendments, which
will necessarily be slow to work Out
j the great reform, but will go for Tho
lpromptest and most decisive meas
ures. '......
Thanking you for the kind terms
in which you have noticed my hum
BILE efforts in vindicating the rights
of my prescribed fellOw-citizens.
/ remain gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,

party friends, we are not afraid to
trust you now, when public opinion
like an avalanche threatens to sweep
the obnoxious law from the statute
book. But that there may be no mis-
take, we desire your position upon q
point not fully-stated in your card. -
of enfranchising the people, but as
you are aware there are several modes
by which this can be done, we desire
to know of you explicitly whether
you are i'm favor of the speediest meth
cd of accomplishing this desirable
result, and II so, although we differ
with youwidely upon MANY political
questions, we pledge you our cordial
support in this canvass, as we regard
the acknowledgements of our people as
paramount to all other questions
We desire an answer at your earliest
convenience. Ts sir,,.ni,a ~

ban, we tell you that this movement
to call conventions ind run Demo-
cratic candidates is fra ught with great
danger to your best II terests. BE not

A candidate for Office Is required to

ing the case, no man can run for the

that he was opposed to you and the

the oath that every candidate must

THE following sensible talk to the
colored voters is taken from the
Nashville Press and Times, of the
Goth inst Il: nH '.-
The negroes of Tennessee will not
make a single friend in the North by
adhering to prescription.
Let colored men bear in mind
that not Single Northern State
DISTINGUISHED men for being rebels,
No intelligent philanthropist can
regard with any other feeling than
adherence the vaunt of prominent
oflice-hunter, that he could rally the
colored voters in a solid column
against the proposition TO enfranchisc
large number of tax payers, who
for nearly four years have been stand
ing out in the cold, andpaying theil
taxes with numb fingers and chatter
ing teeth.
Do colored men believe that it il
either generous or wise To go in 0
body for sustaining here law of pros
crlption and acknowledgements which
does not exist in any other State ?
lt is our duty TO admonish the coloret
proscriptionlsts that they are waginC
an equal and utterly hopeless hght
for the benefit, not for themselves
but of General Stokes and a handfu
of his white friends. The folly O
those who adhere 10 his fortunes Il
certain to be succeeded by a long anC
bitter regret.

We cannot undertake h follow the
two candidates throughout their
speeches. We have neitherthe space
nor inclination to do so. Senter is a
much more effective speaker than
Stokes, and shows in his tone and
bearing the exultation and feelings
of a conqucror. Stokes, on the con-

evidently hacked. He is beyond all
doubt, the worst hacked candidate
we ever saw on the field, and Is
doomed to an ignominio,ls defeat.
