eminently so to-day Had it not been
for the. siren song of "no n0mina-

a Republican State government. Our

OF q platform and nominee, and Mr.,
Maynard for the nominee
"A few evenings since, Nashville
came near boasting of murdered all
derman, and the Workingmen losing
their candidate for Governor. [ am
informed that Mr.. Brooks was insult
ed aud attacked by Alderman Walsh, |
because be was id Radical,n to |
use the elegant language Of the Nash |
vile Democrat. Brooks is the editor
of the Independent Workingn7an, and |
of the wOrkingmen's party
for Governor. He was a surgeon in
the Federal army and my informa-
ton is that the chivalrOus soul of, Walsh
being unable to brook the presence of
Brooks iii his Democratic juicery, re-
sort was had to insult and assault, to
rid the sacred precincts of his saloon of

lustily no doubt believing himself to

The crimes and murders which have
3een Sc. frequent in this part of the
State, and which, by the way, owe
heir origin greatly to the incendiary
'ivil rights editorials of the Union and
american and lesser lights of the same
aith, are. universally condemned by
and Democrats alike.
The e. & H.. to carry the Angust cleo
ions, sowed the Whirlwind, and is
low commencing to reap the storm.
This course of violence is undoubtedly
he programme agreed upon by the
Democrats to carry the State. Intimi-
iation is the great, though unexpress-
I'd, plank in their platform.
Your Congressional canvass is excit-
ng considerable interest here. With
uch an abundance of good material, it
would be difficult TO be lily represent
