Unnecessary Alarm .

Some uneasiness, if not positive appre-
hension. has been felt in the financial circles
of Deakerick street within the past few
days, in consequence of rumOrs respecting
the condition and management of the Coal
Tar Bank, which, if true, would greatly
impair the credit of that hitherto popular
monetary institution. The President of
the Bank, and also two of its Directors, in
form us that there is not the slightest
foundation in fact for those prejudicial re-
ports, aud give Us assurance that their
forthcoming public statement will place the
solvency of the institution beyond all room
for cavi or question. They all also deny
that either of the present directors has en-
gagged in any outside speculation requiring
the use Of the Banks credit, or that they
have at any time since the employment of
their present attorney had occasion TO
doubt his fidelity to their interests or ques-
ton his ability for the proper performance
Of his duties. The directors indulge the
hope that this simple statement Of facts
will be a sufficient refutation of any idle
rumor respecting dissentions among them
selves, dissatisfaction with either of their
officers, or disposition to evade any none
AIRY responsibility resting upon them.

partiality of kinds friends, perhaps too IA
vorably impressed towards me, having in
fuenced them to request me to be cardi-

say l have always felt that every citizen
should yield to the wishes Of the conmuni-
ty in which he lives upon questions of
this sort.
And as am, with all my interests, identI-
fed with you and your interests, in re-
spending to those wishes announce my
self candidate to represent you in the

islature.
Having lived among you all my life, re-
ly upon your acquaintance, with trust for
your confidence.
The claims of the other candidates, now
my competitors, stand before you without
the action of convention, hence there can
be no charge of an effort to disorganize,
In local elections, l am frank to say, l
think the claims of aspirants should be sub
mitted to the voters of the ballot box.
An intimate acquaintance with Gen.
Cheatham from our early manhood and
high appreciation of his true worth, though
we had always differed in politics, induced
me to become his supporter from his an
nouncement as candidate.
