SENATORAL,

GEN, JOS 4. 1HABRY.
We find the following compliment

Sundays ChronicIe Without .ex-

man whose name has been presented
as worthy to be the successor Of Sen

Sens t., we cannot refrain from I.
dorsing fully the writer's views of
the Indebtedness of the Conservative
party Of Tennessee to the tact and
resources Of Gen. Mabry during tie
dark and gloomy days Of it's earliest
reorganization. 1t is to him, more
than to any other man, that the peo-
pie are indebted for the overthrow
Of the villainous registration officers

has expended thousands of dollars
in his zeal to relieve the masses from
the yoke of Radical despotism. 1t
is cheerful and gratifying to believe
that there is yet a cordial feeling Of
gratitude in the hearts os the people
for such q benefactor. Public justice

last Gen. Mabry has few superiors
in point OF fresh and. vigorous intel
lect, and he would accomplish as
much perhaps for the good of the
State in the councils of the nation
as any man who might be elected.
The high order of tact and intelle-
gence which he possesses would soon
secure for him very Influential po-
sition among the. senators of the
United States, and lie would no doubt
prove in every way an Industrious
and efficient member. Whether the
people beyond the mountains are
willing to give East Tennessee the
successor of Senator Brownlow we
DO not pretend to know. Bnt they
may, in passing Gen. Mabry by. go
further and fare great deal worse.
This much rs a mere suggestion. The
Chronicle correspondent says :--Loat-

Many persons have been spoken
OF in connection with the coming

low townsman, Gen. Jos. A. Mabry.
deserves the s-fayorable-of
the next Legislature. 1t will be re
membered that Gen Mabry is one
Of our most worthy and prominent
citizens, one to whom the party now
in power owes more than TO any one
citizen of our State. As a public
benefactor. his history is familiar to
all. For the wants and necessities
ofour burthened st t., he has dol

very grateful. Gen. Mabry has not
failed in means to support those now

o better man in our next Congress
who seek money and honor, rather

Let US, as a people, legislate for /
our people. Let us have one among

our State. Let his past generous
history answer for the future, and
the thousands OF dollars SO generous

will make him our next United States
Senator. The party in power owe
