To Whom it may Concern.

There are some people who seem to
need the constant admonition of some
one. They either do not take a CONS
mon sense view of things or take no view
at all. We will give an instance. An
agent for some kind Of sewing ma
chine may call Oh the good woman of the
house and desire to show her the ma
chine he represents. He brings it in,
and ifhe is a good operator will amaze
her with the perfectness of his work, and
convince her, by his talk, that it is the
best ma shine in use She does not think
that the best always sells the most-if
sold at the same price as the inferior ar
ticles She does not even think that a
machine which cannot sustain its repus
:ation and whose sales decrease ODe-half
in a year, must have some defects which
to prove useless She perhaps forgets
that there is one Sewing Machine Com~
pany whose machines, for years and
years, have steadily increased in popu>
larity and in sales until it has nearly
reached the point of selling as many
machines as all of the twenty-five. or
thirty different Companies put together
Why has it done this ? Because it had
the best machine. Because when there
was an inventor who made an improve
ment he would 60 to that Company first
Why Because that Company would if his
Improvement had real merit, pay him
more than any other or all others com
bined. This Company is the Singer
We simply state these facts and know
thatour intelligent readers will not here~

Gubernatorial.

The candidates for Governor spoke to
large crowd of people in the Court
House on Tuesday last. Judge Porter
led off in speech of one hour and a
half, 10 which he announced himself az
the candidate Of his party, whose plat>
FORM adopted il the largest convention
ever held in Tennessee, he endorsed.
He said in the outset that he was not
lighting the battles of the present
State administration and was not respon.
sible for anything done by Gov Brown
or his friends. lie fercely assaulted the
record Of Mr. Maynard as a member of
Congress, where he had always been on
the side Of New England and against
the interests of the people of Tennessee.
He had always been the friend Of a high
tariff on the very articles on which the
people Of this State demanded a low tar
if. Mr.. Maynard was the author of the
irou-clad cath which was so repulsive to
a free people After the election Of
Senter he, with such associates as Sam
Arnell and W j. Smith, advocated the
placing Of Tennessee under military rule.
He had held two Offices at the same time
for which he received the pay and emol>
uments. The speaker referred to many
other things to which in this short article
we cannot refer
Nj Maynard replied in one of his
best efforts in which he fatty denied
some of the assertions of Judge Porter,
and as usual, attacked the administra-
ton of Jno C. Brown, for which he
said the democracy is responsible He
said that he is not in favor of the Civil
Rights Bill AID stands on the State plat>
form of his party.
Both gentlemen made a good impress
sion; but of course, in this democratic
and conservative stronghold the crowd
was largely with Porter.

This one rides an Independent horse,
But leads a Radical mule.

And we didn't intend to give him the
benefit Of first-rate notice in thu Bull
LETIN. But 50 it is. His name is w.
r. Barrett whom we have studiouslY
avoided advertising That's what he
wants We can crafty him. He is the
independent candidate for FlOater in
opposition to Maj Hurt
We give him credit for boldly OPP
posing our method OF selecting candi~
dates. We preferred conventions of the
people He did not. The people have
endorsed our views on that subject by
assembling in the largest and most re-
spectacle conventions held in Tennessee
for many years We will support the
nominees. 1t is to be presumed that
Mr. Barrett will not. On the contrary
he coquets with Lewis, Smith and Prev
lit, the notorious enemies of the white
people, and is doing all in his power,
in quiet way, to catch radical votes.
Our attention has been called mure par
ticularly to this by the information from
a reliable source that Barbour Lewis has
written letter to his friend Squire Wood
fin, (cord), of this place, in which he
speaks of Mr.. Barrett as most proper
man to vote for, and urges his friends
to give him their support.
So you see that Mr.. b. is likely to
get along very well on his Indepen-
dent hobby-particulai if he can get
some one to spur up the Radical mule
which he has in tow. But the truth is,
the Independent old jade which he be-
strides is slow old concern any way,
and the vigorous BALKAN i likely to'pull
the rider into the Radical camp. if the
tow line holds well!
After the election Mr. Barrett can res
tire to the shades of private life, where
he can perfect his scheme for eolonizing
the negroes and thank US for this hand
some notice.

Congressional.

1t is palpable that the administration
party are making very desperate effort
to maintain their foothoid in Congress
The terrible reyulsion in popular senti-
ment, as indicated by the recut elections,
has shaken the nerves of sradicalism and
brought mighty fear upon the faithful,
that Office emolument and power are
melting slowly but surely away. The
handwriting is on the wall, and in the
inner courts are already written, Go
forth and eat grass, you have revealed in
the fesh pots-giVe way to better men
The desperate aim is to preserve the
power in Congl ess for the balance Of the
unexpired presidential term Else how
oa1 the present projected schemes of
public plumber be carried out, how can
the sweets Of Office be abandoned, how
power be yielded up2 With II Congress
against them the administration is crip~
pied and helpless, at least for evil, and
as for the good why that will live after
them : that is the little they have done.
From the figures it will appear that ewes

important consideration, connected with
the election on Tuesday next. Shall we

to vote for, work for, and approve every

summation of denominations the Civil

We have a worthy AID admirable COM
petitor, in Col. Young, earnest, capable,
with ambiti on to serve swell as please
his people, and youthful energy to back
it all. He is the nominee fairly chosen,
and no Conservative or Democrat, can
hesitate which to choose. 1t is simply a
question of choice between ttadicalism,
and Conservatism, integrity and corrup-
ton, a pure unsullied private and pub
JIG record, giving earnest of useful flu
-nre IN our man, and the autipodal quail
tiles, insincerity, want of faithfulness in
public trust and an utter aba ndonment
to the corrupt influences Of his party, in

In the political canvass which will
close before we issue the next number
If the BULLETIN, we have endeavored to
discharge faithfully our duty to our
readers, and have stoutly advocated
those principles which we believe to he
right and which, if carried out, will
rebound to the best interests of the peo-
pie at large. We knew at the opening
of the canvass that without organization
it would be impossible for the conserva'
tive party to succeed We therefore
took steps to have the antiSradicals, re-
gardless of past party affiliations,
brought together in some kind of or
ganization. We thought that tho sys~
tenn finally adopted was the correct one,
and we have no causs to change our
opinion. The anti radicals of the couu-
ty have endorsed the plan suggested, not
without some fear as to its results. They
saw, and with good reason, that with
one Radical and two or three Conser~
vativea in the fold 1t would be impossi~
bic 70 elect Conservative. They,
therefore, accepted the Convention sys>
tenn, Notwithstanding it has some OBJ
jections
No one was able to suggest feasible
plan to prevent the election of Radical

system, the people saw it and adopted it.
The result was the ticket which is before
The people for their sufrages. In the
selection of SEINE Of the candidates we
did not get our choice, but we have re-
solved to sink all personal considera-
tions and abide by the action of the

squarely conducted and Ee support the

enemies of Radical rule to do tho same.
