FOR GOVERNOR,
GEN. JOHN C. BROWN.
Hon. John M. Bright.

"a very interesting biographical
sketch Of John M. Bright, by d
New York author, to which we
invite the readers attention. 1t
will amply repay a perusal. And
IN this connection, we clip the
following items from such of the
Democratic papers of this Dis
trlct as are convenient, showing
the estimation in which Mr.. B. is
held by those whom be has repre-.
sented:
While we esteem him (Gen.
Palmer) highly for many good
qualities as a citizen and soldier.
we regret that he has seen proper
to come out in opposition to our
present popular and efficient rep
resentaiive, the Hon. John NJ.
Bright of Lincoln, who has SO
ably and faithfully represented us
for the first time in the Congress
of the United States, and against
his public career not one word of
complaint has or can be urged as
a public servant. With his ripe
experience as one Of the ablest
lawyers and finest scholars and
orators in the South, his constant
devotion to principle, his high
moral character, that stands I'M
rivaled by any man in this section,
which have SO eminently fitted
and qualified him for the high po-
sition to which the people have
exalted him, we feel that it is due
him, and that his constituency owe
it to him to again send him to
Congress. Believing as we do
that a second term is due him, if
he desiresit, we shall gladly ad-
vocate his claims for reelection
in preference to Gen. Palmer or
any other man, no matter how
popular and competent for the po-
sition.-&ezbyUiUe Rescue.

Mr.. Bright has had the office
only one term, and during that
time he has, SO far as known, done
his duty as a Representative of
the people. Le,ci8burg Gazette.
Hon. JOHN Nj. BRIGHT.-We
were highly pleased TO see Gen.
John NJ. Bright, our present able
representative in Congress, on the
streets of Manchester yesterday.
Gen. Bright has represented the
interests Of this Congressional dis
trict during the past two years
faithfully, and with ability
When the great Narragansett of
East Tennessee, Horace Maynard,
tried to the utmost of his ability
to fOist upon the people Of this
a military government in times
of peace, Gen. Bright struck him
such blow in the House by ex-
posing his dirty scheme, that he
SUNK like a whipped cur into his
seat, and held his tongue. Gen.
Bright has a record second to none
as a stateman and as patriot
He is candidate for re. election,
as will be seen by his announce
ment elsewhere and, while not
committing ourself on the Con-
gressional question, yet we will
say that the old 4th could not lose
a single laurel from her wreath
by returning him to the seat he
has so ably filled.--Ccfee County

Hon. John M. Bright, our dis
tinguished and able Representa-
tive in Congress, gave our city
visit this week. He stood TO his
post of duty in Congress until
that body finally adjourned. He
has made proud record as a leg
islator, and stood up manfully in
defense of his constituents and
State when the occasion required
it. He is a candidate for re-elce.
ton, and is going around among
the people in the district, just to
see, perhaps, what our distinguished
fellow-citizen, Gen. Palmer, has
been up to lately. The canvass
has commenced, and an interest
ing race may reasonably be ex-
pected. County fealty and pride
naturally incline us to prefer Gen.
Palmer as our first choice, but we
shall accord full justice to Gen.
Bright, and give him a fair and
impartial hearing.-MtrJreesbO
