The Candidates Meeting Yesterday
what the People Propose 90 no.

To the Union and American
Mr.. EJitcr' Z had supposed that the
nernccfaiiG and Conservative voters of Da-
wilson county were we'll informed and full
ly alive TO the proper appreciation of their
rights, and ready TO unite, under any judi
ciOus plan Of organization, to secure the
election of good and true men to I'LL the
various offices within their gift. But; II [
am rightly informed, meeting OF q can
didates, held to-day in the Courthouse,
have, by a vote of IA TO 10, Pronounced as
premature the Convention called to meet
on the 27thinst. to nominate candidates for
the various offices to be filled at the August
election.
Now with all due Difference, permit me
TO say that | consider the people composing
the Democratic and Conservative element
of Davidson county, fully competent to
judge what they need, and what, in this
regard, is premature CT btAvfletse. In fact,
| regard the people as sovereign, and The
candidate citizen seeking their favor, and
subject at least to the will of a majority.
And he is by no means authorized to die
tate to the people, or set himself up in con-
demnatiOn OF any course they may deter
mine TO pursue,
1t was, | understand, whispered on the
streets on Saturday last that a candidates
meeting would be held to-day, which
would break up the Convention which had
been called by perhaps 1000 good citizens
and voters, 500 of whose names bad on
that morning been published, both in your
paper and in the Republican Bonner. Now
please permit me TO say that have seen
and conversed with many citizens from the
various wards of the city and districts of
the county, since the adjournment of this
candidates meeting of to-day, and all, with
one accord, say they will go on and hold
their primary meetings on the 24th, and
appoint their delegates to meet on the 9th,
as recommended by the call. And when
this Convention shallmeet on next Satur-
day, if it shall appear from any cause
'IrhGteUer that the nominations ought to be
postponed, it will then be in order to have
an adjournment over to future day. And
should any other possible plan be proposed
in lieu of a convention, it car then be con-
sidered, discussed, and adopted or rejected
as the meeting may determine.
But be assured of one thing, the men
who have moved in this matter are not TO
be igdOred, and their action set aside in
this summary manner. They will move
forward with honest endeavors to unite our
whole strength in the coming election,
without special regard TO any candidate,
but for the safety and benefit of the good
people OF Davidson county.

SOME OF ITS FRUITS.
How the Attention Of MOneyed Siren.
gers is being Directed 10 Tennessee
Magnificent Colonization scheme.

The NcIC York South, of a recent date
has from the pen of Mr.. II. &. Stone, OF
Nashville, an excellent digest Of the Re
port of the Tennessee Bureau Of Agricul-
tUTe, which has attracted unusual atten-
ton from capitalists in the North. Inas-
much as Nr. Stones letter to the South has
excited such profound remark, it will
doubtless prove useful auxiliary TO the
able report itself.
We give the following as indicating what
may come of thus making known the at
fractions Of Tennessee: Hon. Ill. G.. East
imam, of Poughkeepsie, n. Y, has written
Mr.. Stone that on his return from Virginia
he read the article above referred to with
much interest, and that he will soon visit
Tennessee in company with several gentle
men Of means. This will be a most i'm
pOrtant visit as Mr.. Eastman is engaged in
a mammoth colonization scheme, the pro-
posed plan being TO purchase an i'm
mense tract of land in the most
desirable locality in the South and
found colony and build a city thereon
on a scale of more magnificent proportions
than ever before attempted. Mr.: Eastman
has shown such remarkable ability in
originating and carrying out grand enter
prises that it would be hasty 70 pronounce
anything incredible which he promises to
do. At least this appears 10 be the idea Of
the solid men of his section, as they are
literally backing him He confidently
promises 10 begin his colony with thousands
of people and ample means. 4 Pough-
keepsie journal says:
1.-The new city he proposes is 10 be a
model one in every particular, and to pre-
sent in its completeness and magnifcence
the most desirable residence and business
place in America. The plans for this per-
feet city and its surroundings are all origi-
nal with him, and have been put in shape
by experienced architects and landscape
gardeners. The public buildings, streets,
avenues, parks, Tapid-tIansit railways, and
all the requisites of a great and beautiful
city, have had the most careful considera-
ton. Not only capitalists, bankers, and
merchants in the Northern States, but
Steamship Companies who propose to en-
list in the enterprise their agents, aud 9th
erS in Europe, for the purpose of Stimulat-
ing the proper emigration from abroad.
Nothing is to be done in a small way, but
the whole scheme is to be matured in its
mammoth proportions before a blow is
struck.
The publication of Mr.. Stones synopsis
caused the Secretary Of the Bureau, Col. j.
Il. Killebew, to be flooded with letters
from men all over the North, earnestly re-
questing information regarding the induce
ments offered by Tennessee to immigrants
Ii is certain that the number of volumes of
the Report ordered by the Legislature will
not begin to supply the demand.
To Judge from present indications, our
State will receive thousands of immigrants |
within the next twelve mOnths-that is, if |
we don't repudiate.
