OUR PRIMARY ELECTION.
From the Columbia Herald,

According to appointment, a primary
election was held in Maury county last
Saturday, to decide who should be the Dem
ocratic candidates for foater and represen-
tative, resulting in the election of Mr.. John
Ericsson and Major Jas. II. Akin. The
vote polled was not as large as it should
have been, but that was the peoples fault,
and not the fault of the primary election.
We hoist on high the names of the nomi-
nees, and urge the people to vote for 1hem.
To vote against them is to elect Radicals.
Our nominees are worthy Of our votes in
dependent of their claims as the candidates
of our party. Neither of them is poll
tician, but both are gentlemen of good bu-
siness capacity. All Of US feel a pride in
having our county represented by those
who would take leading positions in the
Legislature as debaters and thinkers
but, after all, we are decidedly Of the opin-
ion that it is better fer the material inter-
ests ofthe county and State, to have clear
headed business men, whose practical COM
mon sense viii teach them unerringly what
will best conduce to the financial, agricul-
tural and mechanical advancement OF the
country. While John Frierson. Major Akin
and Major Allison will not be likely TO be-
come great. political leaders, they will do
what IS infinitely better for our county-en-
act wise laws by which Sl the industries
will thrive and flourish, invite immigration
of laboring men and men of capital, and
manufactures spriRg up everywhere as Il ee
magic Before the war, the Northern peo-
pie let the South have monopoly OF the
great political takers, and they chose men
who would secure such legislation as would
build up their material interests, and the
consequence was, when the war come up,
they were rich in material resources, and
we were poor and weak. Select capable
men, but LIT their capacity be of the right
kind. Always choose intellect and brain,
but re sure that these can be useful and
beneficial to you. Vote for the nominees.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.
Cheatham-Maynard-JOhnson.

To the Editor OF the Union and American:
HUMBOLDT, TENN, Oct. 10, 1S72.-I
am not much of a writist, but think l
know thing or two that would interest
some of your readers, orI have no doubt
most of them; for your valuable paper has
made stubborn and noble fight, and L don't
know how any man could read it without
standing square up to the rack with you
for the preservation Of our principles. l
was johnson nan until the nomination of
Gen. Cheatham, and have gone with you
in this thing; but what | want to say most
especially, is that the big men have been
here and done their do. MIR. Johnson's
friends have been promising great things
and saying he would make white appear
black. He spoke to a small crowd at the
fair grounds, and left his friends worse of
than when be came. 1t had no more eff
feet than pouring water on aidUck'5 back (;
but Maynard did come near making black
white, for he whitewashed the administra-
ton as l never thought it could be done,
and convinced our people that our only
chance to beat him was to support our
nominee and stand to our guns. Maynard
may have made votes here for himself and
for Grant-not many; but if he makes a
we can all see that if johnson gets az many
votes as his friends claim in other parts, it
will elect MAYNARD. The crowd at the
speaking was small but it was nearly all
for Cheatham. When the old General got
up he disappointed us, for the johnson
men have been calling him mummy, but
we found he made some strong points, and
stated where he stood clear enough and put
Mr.. johnson to his trumps to answer with
all his sharpness.
Since the speaking have looked round
to see what has been done, and find that
Cheatham made votes, and there was not
many to make for there are not many here
for johnson, now who do not desire
the defeat of our party at any
price, and there ares precious few who
want that in this section, and there are not
many (but there are some) who want to
condemn those who fought for us. Mr.,
johnson lost votes here by that. In some
districts in Gibson, johnson will not get
vote, and he will get but very few any,
where but in Humboldt, and Gen Cheat
ham will carry that burg by large vote.
1 never saw anything like the feeling here
for C6eatham. His men don't want to
hear him speak, they don't care anything
about speaking, they know he has sense
and Judgment to make them good work
ing Congressman; and they are willing to
trust him.
1 thought johnson would be good mem
Der; and have the good sense to let his
policy alone; but see from his speech here
that defense of himself is the principal
thing he is after, and see was mistaken in
being for him before the convention, and
his supporters good many of them see it
that way now too. johnson stands no
show in Gibson.
Keep up the fight and make it lively; II

TENNESSEE NEWS.

The Industrial Exposition at Memphis
will continue for three weeks yet.
Mrs. Betsey Estes died last week, in Giles
county, at the age of eighty-four.
Memphis proudly boasts of one Of its
citizens who absorbs FIVE glasses of beer at
sitting and then complains of feeling dry.
Six horses have been taken down the
river from st. Louis and entered for the
Memphis races which comes off this week.
The Memphis appeal is of the opinion
that the AudlGIlche of that city, taken ali
around, is not very good Southern jour
nal.

shot few days ago, in a difficulty with

GENUINE ELUQUENCE.

The following extract from the speech
of Chancellor Marks, whe lost a leg in
"the politicians war and poor mans fight" !"
as Mr.. johnson stigmatiZes the Confederate
struggle, breathes the spirit of truth and is
a splendid specimen of genuine eloquence: {:
GGen. Cheatham has been denominated
the Marshal Ney of Tennessee. Let US
trace the parallel between the Marshal Ney
of France and the Marshal Ney of Tenhes-
see. The Marshal Ney. Cf France
was a plain, modest, unassuming man; so
is the Marshal Ney of Tennessee. Where
the bullets were hottest, like a destroying
angel, rode the Marshal Ney of France; so
rode the Marshal Ney of Tennessee. The
Marshal Ney of France fought an
hundred battles for her, and not
one against her; so fought the
Marshal Ney of Tennessee. Shall
the parallel stop here, or must it 60 on?
When the Marshal Ney of France had
fought his last battle for his country, the
allies arraigned him before a drumhead
court-martial, aud the only charge prefer
red was that he stood by the people, whom
he had loved so well in their hour of trial.
They found him guilty Of the charge, and
passed Judgment that be should be shot to
death, and with matchless cruelty they
made q detail from bis old comrades who
had followed him through cold and rain,
and tears and blood, to execute the sem
tence. When he was led out for execution,
the streaming eyes of his old comrades told
how well they loved him. The great heart
of the old hero rose superior to death. he
e., ~, &c hor1donnd and mil
ling open his bosom be cried: straight to
the heart, comrades-fre!" A roll of mus
kerry and the Marshal Ney of France lay
dead. The Marshal Sey Of Tennessee
has fought bis last battle for her. The
allies have arraigned him before drum
head court-martial. The only charge pre-
ferred is that he stood by the people, whom
he loved 80 well, in their hour of danger.
They find him guilty Of the charge. They
condemn him. With cruelty without par
allel they ask for detail from his old
comrades-those comrades who with him
along the fiery crest of battle, where the
flowers of glory bloom, gathered garlands
immortal to wresthe the brow of the old
Volunteer State--to execute the sentence
They have led him out for execution. He
will not have bis eyes bandaged. BE tears
open his battle-scarred bosom, and cries;
If you will, straight to the heart, com
rades, fire. Never! never! never !! From
Carter to Shelby, thank God! one universal
shout rings out: 'Recoyer arms? The
comrades of Marshal Ney, Of France, were
forced to strike their old cOmrade down
but if the Marshal Ney of Tennessee goes
down, bis old comrades must volunteer tC
strike the blow"

The Scranton (Pa.) Free Press chronicles
the arrest of the Mayor and Postmaster of
that city, with that of several promin cut
Grant officials, on charge of banot-box
stufiug and bribery. The charges, which
are specifically made, are astounding.
These men are alleged to have bought votes,
bribed judges, and used all the black arts
known to election corruptionists. More
over, the afidAvits in these cases are al
ready in hand. The New York Tribune
says the business is eminently Pennsylva-
nian, or, we should say, Cameronian. If
these revelations continue, the world will
