THE Senatorship was given, last
Monday, by few gentlemen, and at
the suggestion of one, to Williamson
county, as a "matter of courtesy"
It was not matter of courtesy, but
was one Of right and justice. Be-
cause very nice gentleman of Will
hanson county, which has $4,000
people, does not want to be small
Floater, but is willing to be Senator

a right to give away, "by courtesy"

The urbane and elegant people of
Maury having signalized their mag
unanimous disposition in courteous
W. allowing Williamson to have
tie Senator, when it was clearly a
matter of right that Maury was en-
titled to the same, and the people OF
our highly genteel county being de-
sirous of manifesting their sense OF
right and justice, as well as their
faultless Chesterfieldian "sauviter N
modo," do ask the people of the land
of the Harpeths, as matter of right
to put forth their candidate for Float
er. We ask you to do this because it
is indisputably your right to demand
it. No one wants the position in
Maury--we are too just, and above
all, too modest and too courteous TO
ask for anything that Williamson de-
sires. If there is another gentleman
whose lineage goes back to the i" cane
breakers" let us know, and we will
most "courteously," most magnani-
mously and most righteously support
him. MAURI.

Adamses have always done. Old
John Adams vanity, bigOtry, and
hate of Hamilton put the Federal
party into its tomb. John Quincy
Adams administration was the death
how IF the Wing party, then called
Repub leans. The light which gilds
the Adal lses is that of sunset. They
insure defeat. Chatham said Sir
William Young's voice was the death
knell of his country. The breath of
an Adams fame has the chill of the
charne' house in it. Let them nurse
their money bags like timid misers,
and allow holder and more unselfish
men, whose foreheads are lit by the
rising sun, to help the world forward,
undisturbed by their greedy ambi.
ton or their querulous crotchets.
For loyal administration to protect
the negro, awe the devil, and give
the wolking-man a chance, Grants
little finger is worth a bakers dozen
of Greeley's.
Yours,

DEMOCRATIC papers are using very
harsh terms in denouncing Hon. D.
W. VOORHEES,, of Indiana, for making
Speech's against GREELEY, assert
that he has been bought up by
GRANT, and utter other groundless
and malicious remarks. Mr.. VOORHEES,
is one of the purest and ablest men
in tie Democratic party, and no man
IN The country is more attached to
principle. He was bold enough to
dencuuce coercive and uncOnstitu-
tional measures of LINcoLN's admin
istration, when it was dangerous to
do so, snd although he is acting un-
wisely 10 his present attitude, it is
as ungrateful as il is untrue to attri-
butte 10 him other motives than those
prompted by noble and chivalric
nature. 1t is difficult for Northern
and Southern Democrats to under.
stand each other upon many points.
The South voluntarially surrendered
her political rights when the war was
over, and Northern Democrats have
never given up anything, but cling
tenaciously to all their ancient prin-
ciples and the prejudices engendered
by long years Of defeat and oppres.
| sion. Northern Democrats look
alone 10 Mr.. GREELEY's past record
which is bristlihg with Objectionable
points; while Southern Democrats
forgetting the past, look upon MIR
GREELEY's promises for the future
which are freighted with balm fol
the healing of the nations wounds

The Williamson-Maury Conven-
ton last Monday nominated Major
THOMAS f. p. ALLISON as the Demo
cratic candidate for Senator from
this district. This was not unex-
pected to us, and we still think that
il was presumptuous in Williamson
in claiming what she was not entl'
tied to, and equally remarkable con-
duct on the part of those who gave
it away. But we endorsed the call
for the Convention, and will abide
its decision. We will vote for the
,minee, and believe that he will
make us a faithful Senator.
