To the Editor Of. the AIorristown Gazette:
Coming events cast their shad- !
ows before tllem,,'' and such has been
truly iexemplifed in the advent of
the "Great New York and New Or
leans geological and Equestrian ES-
position into this city. This day
has given us an Illustration of the
benefits to be derived. from, profnse !
and judicious ADVERTISING, This iioIr;53 oIr;3
ganization, with the !" Big name,
has kept il before the people Of this
country. for several weeks past, that
they would make an exhibition of
their stock in trade here on this day.
and in consequences, public expecta-
ton was wrought to a high pitch.
For two days pastour country cous-
ms h&> been focking in here with

and the publ, stteeFs were. thronged,
insomuch that Il vas barely possible
to pass. The mountain passes and
the wales emptied themselves into
our midst, and it was estimated that
not less than 10000 people witness
ed the . grand pageant" as it pass
ed our streets. The mighty Tennes-
see brought down her "fiotilla."
This affair offers us an opportunity
which might be properly used in Civ
ing dissertation upon the tendency
of the people to attend these wan
dering exhibitions, and the degen.
Grating influence that is exercised,
but it is not the intention of the wri-
ter to do this. because you know
how it is yourself" This display
has cost Knoxville and vicinity as

The Congressional canvass opened
in this district between their Hon
ors, Jacob (Hebraic name for decenD
Thornburg and Leonidas Houk, at
Maryville. Houk charges Jake with
being entangled in the Civil Rights
bill to compromising extent, and
Jake demurs and comes at I1ouk
with the charge that he is the fond
s.parient'' of the odious assessment
law, which wass passed at the last
session oflour Legislature. He pleads
guilty to the soft impeachment, and
says that tits the dpoor mans joy

Conservative Party7here want to get
