TIE LEGISLATURE.
The FIoaferfal district.


NASHVILLE. July /, 1S69.-To the peo-
ple of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery
and Cheatham counties: Solicitations by
letter and in person received for the past
few weeks from every county in this hoat-
erial district and representative, as am
induced to believe, of fhe solid and SUBJ
stantial portion of the constituency, have
brought me forward as candidate for
vour snffrages for a seat in the next Legis-
lature.
In obedience to these calls, hereby an
nounce myself candidate, and propose
| to meet assemblies Of the people on every
proper occasion before the 9Th of August.
| / do not affect that do not desire to be
elected, though, for myself could more
proftably employ the time. But, beliey-
| 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.
/ am 10 favor of the most prompt &C.
ton that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature,o or the people in their sovereign
capacity under the Bill OF Rights, or all
copioined, to secure the assembling oil
a Convention at the earliest practi
cable moment, to amend the con
stitution and laws, and remoy'
all existing disabilities in regard to th'
elective franchise. The most feasible plar
conformable to law, is the best, and tbeon'
will favor by vote and voice. The priv
ileges now enjoyed by any portion OF IN
community, L do not propose to disturb.
The business interests Of this constituen
cy in several important features deman
legislation. The mercantile community, il
my judgment, needs a representative VIII
comprehends their wants and sympathize
with their condition under present law
The general economic interests of the pee
pie in every pursuit, while requirin
broader and more liberal legislation, shout
be under the discipline of stricter statute
and such measures shall receive my SUI
port.
In this brief card, these are all th
points necessary to alluded to, but in be
!, | coming candidate expect to meet voter
of every kind and deal frankly, and wit
this view, 1 lay my name before you.
= If RESPECTFULLY, r. B. CHEATHAM.

w. A. Matthews, Esq, had on exhibition
al his Office yesterday a splendid specimen
of the growing corn crop, raised at his
place on the Dickerson Pike, two and a
half miles from the city. The stalk was
thirteen feet in height, and out of field
planted Oh the 10Th Of April. The Squire
holds to the idea that careful cultivation
will work wonders, even in soil that
nronises nothing better than tares.

twenty per cent to all who should come
