prospects have improved. The negroes
are working better than last year, and
the whites also seem more industrious.
The crops look well. The people are
anxious for Northern immigration, and
millions of acres of good land are for
sale, and great inducements are offered
to capitalists The party were every

misingly SO.
Having no ambition or aspiration for
Office of any kind, and not being willing
to seek the same as political candidate,
thus write you-but do confess it would
give me great pleasure if l could be in
strumental in, lifting burden from an
oppressed people too great to be endured.
| am identified with Tennessee; it has
been and will be my home, and whatever
may be its destiny, prosperity or oppres-
sion, part in common with you will be
mine. Those that have loved rest within
it's borders; and If those of my friends,
who claim that the next Governor should
be from West Tennessee, and others
entertaining views here alluded to, deem
it of interest and importance, they can
use my name.

idea is supremely ridiculous, and should

itude to the negro not easily gotten rid
Of for his docility and amiableness to our

our absence from home. That, we must
say, is an over strained idea, as some
others put forth By our contemporary.
The reason Of this docility was from his
education as q slave, and from nothing
else. he was then our property, and
nothing more or less was expected OF
him. Should we declare our jackass
legal voter and a citizen, because he did
not in our absence kick down the stable

our opinion, should be free since he is SO,

with authority would be TO increase our
miseries and to sink us farther into the
cesspool of political disgrace.
