The Nashville Commercial Register
has this to say of the oranges: III any
portion of our people deserve a controls
ling voice in national affairs, it is the
armeTs, upon whom the prosperity and
advancement of our country depends.
When they are crippled or retarded it
~hakes the very foundation OF our gov
ernuent and causes n stagnatiOn which
reaches all. IT they will only be unite d
nd : and firm, il is in their power o
revolutiOnize the present political sys-
rm Of mOuOpOlieS and corrupt rings,
ere 'tt d tOr selfish and pecuuiary gain,
with ut any regard to the true inter SITS
of our common country. At the SINE
lime we are opposed to secret political
organizations, and warn our friends
'gaiust such pr, ceedings. Why uUJ
throw your doors wide open and invite
AL who earnestly desire Justice to Join
YOU in your noble undertakings OF puri-
fication ?'
Treating of the next gubernarorial
contest in Tennessee, the Lebanon Her
Hid says it hopes the next term will find
House in the gubernatOrial chair,
whereupOn the GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf
says: 1T il is Colonel John +. House
that DIR. White alludpS to, his head is
about level. Colonel House is not an
aspirant tor the position. If he can be
induced to become a candidate, he is the
man to suit the people and the times.
tie is bold, reSOluJe man, independent
and indifferent TO everything that con-
tiicts with his views of right and duty.
There is not a man in the State who
would administer the government with
more ability and independence of all
rings and party cliques. II he is our
townsman, we but speak the convictions
of all who know him. Colonel House
IS one of the ablest and purest men of
the nation, and if induced to enter polls
tics, would honor any position in which
be might be placed. He is decidedly
the man for the people, and his candide-
cy would put quietrs to the aspirations
of the disOrganizing 4. ]. and the host OF
other Ofiice-seekers."
EluN is quite prevalent in some por-
tions OF this and adjoining counties.
We learn that it is raging with all the
force of an epidemic i'll Crockett county,
