We find the following card in the
Brownsville Bee Of Thursday:
MEssRS EDITORS OF THE BEE-I notice
that in a recent issue Of your paper you
call upon me to announce myself as a
candidate for Congress from the State,
claiming that West Tennessee is enti-
tied to that officer. Several papers in
West and Middle Tennessee have like
wise, in terms mdeserved, urged me to
become a candidate for that position. I
frankly admit that to be selected to
represent Tennessee in Congress, would
be an honor Of which / would be proud.
While / admit the truth Of your claim
for West Tennessee, and while the same
is very generally and generously con
eeded by the other sections Of the State;
yet, there is already a candidate IN the
field whom I cannot consent to oppose
when I remember his former devotion
to his party, his friends and country, his
useful and honorable life has been spent
without an accumulation of more than
8 competency and without any reward
by a grateful people for those services 50
generously rendered. 1 am therefore,
Constrained to decline the candidacy in
his favor. Thanking those friends who
have advocated my claims, and I shall
ever cherish them with kind Femem-
branees, l remain,

Thomas and Atk1ns at Paris.

On last Friday, says the Paris bgteilt-
geHcer of the twenty-fifth instant, many
citizens Of Henry county assembled at
the courthouse in Paris, and were adj
dressed by Colonel Thomas and General
Atkins. Colonel Thomas made a very
handsome address, entirely satisfactory
to his friends, the principal partOf which
was a review Of the political parties of
the past, and al argument in favor of
the existence Of parties in a representa-
tive government. He made a clear
analysis Of the three coordinate
branches of the government, the
independence of each, and the ne
eessity of this independence, and
the functions they severally perform as
necessary to the perfection Of u form
OF government and the administration
Of justice. There were no issues be-
tween himself and General Atkins,
both standing upon the same platform.
When he had concluded, General At
kins occupied the stand, and made one
of the best efforts Of his life. He re-
viewed the administration Of Grant and
the unwarranted assumptions of power
by his party in a most scathing and
thorough manner. He alluded to some
things personal, and clearly viHdicated
his course in the Confederate Congress
to the satisfaction, we think, Of all
present.
