TENNESSEE GOVERNOR.
General Marcus j. Wright-What the
Press Saw of Him.

We reproduce, with pleasure, the
following complimentary notices of
Gen. Marcus J. Wright, of Memphis,
now prominently brought forward as
prospective Governor of Tennessee.
The ubiquity of the notices, proclaim
the wide spread popularity of the man,
whilst their tone indicates no idle COM
pliment, but heartfelt appreciation
of his noble attributes of head and
heart. We have long since conceded
to West Tennessee, her claim to the
next Governor, and feel gratifed that
she has presented one so worthy of the
honor. IF endorsed by the Conven-
ton, we believe he can throw oil upon
the troubled waters, and secure success
and restore harmony:
