To the Editors of the Union and American:
Many distinguished gentlemen have
been called upon to run for the Conven-
ton for this county, but none for the
fioaterial district composed of Davidson,
Robertson, etc. The many friends of
Col. G. C. Torbett, who is extensively
known in all the counties, are anxious for
him to announce himself as candidate
for this district He combines all the
higher qualities for such position. Calm,
but firm, man of profound thought and
solid attainments, an educated lawyer,
having had experience in all the depart
ments of government, as a member of the
Legislature, the Treasurer of the State
and President of the Bank of Tennessee,
he would not be controlled by pas
sion, prejudice or new-fangled theories.
Younger men of promise or of genius will
honor themselves by gracefully declining

upon to remodel the organic law
