F. pEAR GAzETTE-1'he day is a

rain, a cold seet rain, at that, are ex-
eluding the rays and warmth Of
the genial sun. But for the green
leaves, nature would look as if in

Speaking of a Governor reminds
me that correspondent of the
GAZETTE some weeks since put in
nomination C. w. Charlton for
that high Office. Let me assure you
it was well received, generally, The
Grangers Of the State would do well
to put him forward as their repre-.
sentative. a #a e7-
. He would make a good candidate
and good race. He has the pluck,
energy. and ability. to maze good
Governor. lie is not hide bound |
partizan, nor bigot on any subject.
He is live man on all the impor-
tant issues Of the day, lie is in
constant intercourse with the peo-
pie, and knows and appreciates their
wants. lie has studied the inter
ests of the farmer and mechanic,
and lie would lend himself TO pro
mote the same. All classes therefore
call. upon the Grangers to nominate
him as their and the peoples candi-
date for Governor of Tennessee.
Gov. Baxter, of Arkansas. and one
Brooks,qtemporarily Of that State,
are on the war path. Baxter is a
good man and is doubtless the right
full Governor Of the State. f-
1t will not detract the least from
his character and his worth to say
that he is full blooded brother of
Col. John Baxter ofthis city. IF |
they are alike in disposition. Brooks
has his hands full. and will regret
the day be attacked the governor OF
Arkansas Brooks isia genuine car

there was neither Virtue, patriotism
nor intelligence, in any of The Com
