gressional Districts of the different
States aud arrives at the conclusion,
after n careful and sensible review of
the field, that the prospects of break
up of the Republican party, which he
says was feared at one time as immi.
nent, is no longer favorable, He,
moreover, assures us that there is no
longer any danger of the lower House
of Congress being carried by the Oppo-
sition. The latter cause has been dam-
aged rather than benefited by the re-
cent difficulties in the South. The
most favorable estimate for the Oppo-
sition in the next House that can now
be figured up is Republicans 15l, Dem~
ocrats III, doubtful "a, giving the Re
publicans majority Of ten over all.
Opposed to this is the least favorable
estimate Of the Republicans, which is
stated to be: Republicans l67, Demo-

AT this time, when the future pros
perity of Tennessee depends so much
upon the development and fostering
of manufacturing enterprises, it may
ter, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, stands on the question. On the
9th day Of February, 1870, the Consti-
utional Convention was in session, of
which Judge Porter was a member,
and section was under consideration,
providing that the Legislature should
have power to exempt from taxation
for a term Of years, property used for
manufacturing purposes.
Mr.. Thompson, of Maury county, o.
fered the following amendment:
The General Assembly shall have no
polcer to exempt from taxation the prop
erty Of any person, partnership or corpora
ton engaged in mining, manufacturing or
any other branch of industry.
A motion,was made to lay this amend
ment OH the table, which was done by
vote of 81 to II, Judge Porter voting
in the negative, and thereby placing
himself on record as opposed to en-
couraging such industrial enterprises.
Now, every one knows something OF
the capital and immense labor required
to put in operation large iron manu-
factory. The same is true of cotton
manufactures, aud similar enterprises.
There is scarcely a community or a
STATE, where -uch establishments have
ilourished that did not give them more
or less substantial encouragement to
begin with, as that contemplated in
/ the amendment referred TO- Judge
Porter was, no doubt, honest in his
motives but is such policy the true

JUDGE PORTER REFUSES TO De
FEND.

The fiat refusal OF Judge Porter in
his speech at Jonesboro', Sept. 29th,
to defend tue administration Of his
predec ssor, Gov. Brown, is siguili
cant. 1t must he weak concern iu-
deed, if, under the circumstances, the
present Democratic nominee can not
afford to defend il. Il will be borne
in mind, that the same committee that
prepared the platform upon which
Judge Porter was nominated, also
offered the following resolution, which
was adopted by tie same convention
that made the nomination;
Resolved, That His Excellency. John C..
Brown, having faithfully carried out the
principles clearly set forth in the platform
upon which he was twice nominated, is
entitled to the gratitude of the people for
the able and efficient manner in which he
has executed the high and delicate trust
committed to his keeping as Governor Of
Tennessee,
If he repudiates this action Of his
party, the people will expect him to
give his reasons for so doing.

The card of Senator Brownlow,

burgh, and until some similar repre-
sentative body shall undo what bat
convention did, the mass OftheRepubh-
can voters Of the district will feel bound
by It's action. For u TO pursue any
other course, under lie circumstances,
would lie to forfeit the respect Of can
did men Of all parties, and Senator
Brownlow himself would think less of
Us.
We regret exceedingly that the
Senator at this late day, after Repub-
lican nomination has been made, and
most of his political friends have COM
mitted themselves, announces himself
for this office. We regret that he has
placed himself in a position where he
can not, as h. Las always done,herelo-
fore, command the united support of
his party,
Heknows fun we'll that the CHRoN-
ICLE has ever been his earnest sup
porte and friend. He knows full well
that the Republicans of this district
have h1unred him aud given him their
support whenever heretofore he hu-
asked for their SURFACES. He knows
too, tuI. we'll, that while ever ready to
support him, they at he same time
recognize that other men TO whom The |
party has solemnly p edged itself have |
claims upon IT,. After a fair notice and |
with tae understanding from the Sen-
ator, Chat be would not be candidate !
the Republican party through a con-
veniion gifts best men has invited Col !
to be its candidate for re
election. He has accepted the nomi- |
nation and thousands Of the Senators
friends aud heretofore staunchest sup
pOrters now feel bound to support him.
Under these circumstances we feel
it fair to give currency to the senti-
ment they have generally expressed,
that his action IS unfortunate, in EN-
barrassiug his friends and increasing
the Glready unfortunate complications
in the district. While under
almost any other circumstances,
we would have cheerfully
given him our active support and
been glad to report his candidacy, we
would be uncandid and unjust to our
party, did we not distinctly, but in the
kindest spirit, give expression to these
opinions, While committed 10 sup
port the regular nominee Of the party,
we haven war TO make upon Senator
BrowulOw, but throughout the can
vas-, il he shall continue a,candidate,
we will most cheerfully accord him
that respect and fair dealing which his
high personal character and eminent
public services merit.
We know nothing Of what changes
ia the canvass this announcement will
make We have heard innumerable
ruuors as to the withdrawal Of candi-
dates, uut we prefer not to give them
circulation for the present.
