Greeneville, us the Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the first district.
Mr.. White is one cf the most ener-
getic and efficient workers that we
have ever seen in the Legislature. He
was always exceedingly watchful of
the interests of upper East Tennessee.
We are confident that his constituents
will find that he has a way of getting
their local applications attended to be-
fore the various departments in n man
ner to which Mr.. Roderick Butler is u
stranger. We are confident of anoth-
cr thing: The first district will not be
Tytori-cd by having n cadet sent from
Connecticut to represent it, either at
West Point or Annapolis. In short,
instead of having as at present a repre-
resentative who possess the respect of
neither party, instead of having as at
present "a representative who has been
publicly ocnsured by vote of his own
party for moral terpitude, the first dis
trict Will have representative univcr-
sally popular with his fellow-members
and entirely satisfactory to his constitu-

to hoist the name of II. II. Butler, lis
party's cOndidate for Congress, because
"it is nothing less than the duty, not OIL
ly of the public journals, but of every
public man to inform the people that

support u man who has been dishonor-
