For the House, we have heard it init

ably nominate w. L. Waters and /. B

forward is involved in some doubt. We
think it likely, froIa present Indications
that there will be four universal suffrage

Messrs. 10. G. Stark and John s. Hart,
both of Robertson county, are announced
as candidates for the Senase. They are
both clever gentlemen and both have
clear heads, are highly popular and much
esteemed for their sterling integrity and
many manly qualities. Either would
make an excellent Senator and we re-
gret that both cannot be eected, but we
are candid when we say that We believe
that if both remain on the track neither
will be. The contest between them
will probably eventuate il the election
Of Radical, result for which we pre-
sumo neither would like to be held
responsible. We have no disposition to
interfere in favor of one o. the other but
we do sincerely hope that they will
themselves agree upon some compromise
and that one or the otler will retire.
The people of the senatorial district and
Of the State can not AFFORD in this junc-
ture of public affairs to throw away a
vote in the Senate, for events may so
shape themselves that single vote will
be Of vital consequence We feel con-
fident that no one would regret such q
state of things more than Messrs. Stark
and Hart, and we can not believe that
they viii jeopsrdize the success Of Cons
servatism in the approaching election By
persisting in their contest.

1t will be seen by Communication in
another column that A c Martin, Esq. is
requested to become candidate to rep
resent this county in the lower branch Of
the next General ASSEMBLY. 1t will al
so be seen that our popular friend James
M. Bright has already announced him
self as candidate for that position. Both
Of these gentlemen are unexceptionable,
and would in every way be acceptable
to the Conservatives here. Some little
time will elapse before tho election, and
we have ample time to survey the field
and the candidates, and we only ask, and
insist that there be harmony among our
selves, and no haz irdons divisions. The
Democrats will carry this county by an
overwhelming majority, but still the conc
seiousness of our strength should not
lead us into local differences, and prefer
ences that might seriously affect the
great results we have IN view. Perfect
harmony is what we want and what we
must have.

In response to urgent solicitations of
many of his fello @citizens, Daniel w.
Howes announces himself candidate to
represent jackson ami Putnam counties
in the House Of Representatives. Here is
his platform-and pretty solid one it is:
Il am in favor & enfranchisiDg the
people of Tennessee who are now dis
franchised, in the sPediest manner poss
sible, compatible with the constitution
and the erasure from the statute books
of the odious test oahs, which now dis

opposed to taxation without Representa-.

all laws that make odous distinctions on
account of previous political opinions
I am in favor of a Through reform in
the different departments of the STATE
