cor. COLYAR,s ADDRESS.


We publish this morning the address
of Col. A. S. Colyar to the people of
Tennessee, announcing himself candi-
date for Governor, and giving his reasons
therefor.
We cannot express too strongly our
regret that Col. Colyar's conscientious
convictions should have forced him
to this conclusion. We think that
he will find the course which
he proposes to pursue injurious to
his personal popularity, and, it may be,
have a tendency to weaken rather than
strengthen the platform he advocates. He
will find, in so short canvass, that the
most of his hearers will be apt to con-
found the candidates with their respective
platforms, and that his defeat, which is
inevitable, will give in public estimation
the appearance of weakness TO the doc
trines he espouses
The lateness of the hour at which the
address is received prevents our thor.
oughly reviewing it. During the progress
of the canvass it may become our duty tC
do so, and to show particularly wherein
we may agree and where disagree will
him. While the platform which wa
adopted by the convention was not sucl
as we suggested, yet we think we will b.
able to show that the platform suggested
by Col. Colyar is itself il some particular
subject to grave objection.
We can see no benefit to be deriveC
from the course pursued by Col. COlyar
and therefore cannot but again expires
our deep regret that he should have, b,
his candidacy, brought into the canvass
| new cause of dissension.

WITHDRAWAL OF COL. HUGHES.

Col. J. H. Hughes, who was Candi
date for Congress in the third district, hal
declined. 1t appears that he or some Of
his friends entertained a fear that hC
labored under some kind of disability
which, in the event of his election, would
induce the Clerk of the House of Repre-.
sentatives to refuse to place his name upon
the roll. He submitted his case to the
Democratic Congressional Executive Com
mittee, and they have decided that it
would be inexpedient for him to make the
race, and he has therefore withdrawn.
Col Hughes prints their letter in the Nc
Minnville NeaU Era, from which we ex-
tract as follows:
'By an act of Congress the present
Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives is made the judge of the quail
fications of members in the first in
stance, and required to place on the
roll of members such only as he thinks com
petent to occupy seats. From our expert
ence of his course in regard to questions
similar to those by which you are now
embarrassed, we think he would without
doubt refuse to enroll your name We
are also satisfied that the Radicals would,
without exception, vote against your ad-
mission, whenever your application
should be presented to the House Upon
such rejection your opponent, however
small his vote, would be admitted as the
duly elected member from your district. "
The committee enclose to Col. Hughes
a copy of their address issued some weeks
ago, in which they urge the Southern
people "not to risk the loss of Senators
or Representatives by electing men who
cannot take the test oath, or who are IN
der the disability imposed by the four
teenth amendment.
Nothing is said in this address touching
the admission of persons who have been
relieved by act of Congress of the disa-
bilities imposed by the fourteenth amend
ment Aud the other day when the Hon.
Sam. J. Randall, chairman of the com
mittee, telegraphed to the Atlanta CGa.)
Constitution that-'NO member of Con-
gross who cannot take the iron-clad oath
will be admitted. We respect
fully recommend the nomination of only
such as can take that oath Ut was re-
garded by many that none but those who
could take the iron-clad oath would be
permitted to take their seats in Congress,
not even those who have had their disa-
bilities removed. But if the committee
labor under this impression, they are mis-
taken. Ia letter to Gen. Tom. Benton
Smith, of williamson county, who is a
candidate for Congress in this district, and
whoee disabilities have been removed by
Congress, the Hon. Edward Mcpherson,
Clerk of the House Of Representatives,
says, under date of Aug. p:
eff the House believed you to be the
person relieved, and that the constitutional
provision on the subject was actually car
ried out in your case, you would not be
required, if elected, to take the test oath,
as a special oaih is administered to persons
relieved of disabilities by act of Con-
gress."
This is authoritative, and settles the
question as to the character of oath
member of Congress will be required to
take whose disabilities have been removed
by Congress.
