TO The PEOPLE.


I am a candidate for Judge of the Second
Circuit Court.
Ny platform is this, and nothing more:
LIST. If elected, honestly and impartially
to administer the laws, without respect of
persons or parties.
I'd. To attend diligently to the duties of
the Office, the year round In a word, not
to lose a day during the term of eight
years without a really valid excUse.
Sd. To be content with the salary fixed
by law, and not to ask its increase by the
County Court.
Having always not only ignored, but
opposed mixing politics in judicial cleo
tiOns, in other and better days, 1 can, with
consistency, ask my fellow-citizens. of all
parties, to show me the same liberality.
The asove card, announcing my candi-
dacy, 1 thought full and explicit, and
that after reading it, and seeing that ?
was an independent candidate, the papers
would show me courtesy, and speak of
me with respect, nc matter who chose to
support me. But finding that l ann re-
peatedly assailed by the Ledger in its
characteristic style, as being too worth
less to labor" etc, for daring to run
against "the talented and heightened
lawyer, Colonel Irving Halsey," / will
here say that Gf elected) L will attend as
closely to the duties of the office as any
man who ever filled it; and if L do that,
without any extra pay, 1t looks all right
that I should want It for living" 1
will also say to my friends that l hope they
will not pay attention to of the scare
crow or raw-head and bloody bones argyll
ments of that Incorporate and prOscriptive
sheet, in regard TO my name being on the
Radical any more than the Democratic
ticket, for the reason that | ask the sup
port of all; and therefore will thankfully
accept the support of all, without respect
TO party, nationality or color. Upon this
independent ground, L especially ask nv
old friends, white and colored, after ex-
amining impartially the claims of Col.
Halsey and myself (and any others who
may run for that office TO give me their
votes, if they think me best qualified for
the same. They know hat l am no poll
tieian; that l treat all men with respect,
no matter what may be their opinions or
condition in life; and that l am not an
extreme man. They know that 1 have
weighty and numerous responsibilities,
and as strong reasons, and as good a right
to aspire to the position as any man
in this city, as / and all my family were
born and raised here, and our parents
buried under the sod Of Tennessee.
In conclusion, I will say to my many
old friends and brethren belonging to or
attending the General Conference, that
these most Notifying and unjust assaults
of the Ledger are made by q young man
who does not know me half as well as
they do, and whose attempts to hector
and terrify men who cross mis- views, have
done him more harm perhaps than they
have those he has assaulted.

pious divine pronounced the assemblage
of women the most perfect in beauty

through which each dazed spectator
watched the moving throng of fine young
women. The decorations of the hall, and
the taste which designed its floral beau

unmixed admiration. The good pastor
of this most influential and intelli-
