us adopt the motto Of the honest man.
81 owe an Honest debt, and by the
rules Of honesty will pay it." Our
State Is In debt, and though unable to
pay It down, still she is more able to
pay than to lepudiate. Already has it
been shown that our State resources
are sufficient to meet current expenses
and pay q low rate OF interest by. max
ing a fair reduction Of ali sslaried off,
GERS of the State, Judicial and Court
costs to q specie basis, and with our.
present taxation, which we are able to
pay, and can afford to do it, to meet
honesty and obligations, can pay a
low rate of 4 per cent. interest upon
our bonded debt at its face value, and
carry sinking fund to liquIdate the
principal in thirty years.
Now, If our candidates will start out
upon the old adage, "honesty is the
best policy" and stick to 1t, they will
meet with the support OF the honest
yoemanry of our country, and will
find their pathway cleared of much
rubbish-whilst the demagogue, en-
deavoring to stride the breaker, VIII be
caught in his own snare.

OWED

We hope the Editorial fraternity
will come to order as committee of
the whole, on the use of the Edi-
toral "we." We alledge that "we"
means the journal and not the
Editor; hence when the Editor
means to speak of himself, person
ally, it is wholly out of place.
Such use of it as 1--WE will preach
at Mount Carmel on Sunday, the
10TH" the Editor sometimes being
a preacher, would read better thus:
"The Editor OF this paper will
preach &c" Such expressions as
"our wife," or "our father" or sour
family" arc ridiculons, for the
reason that the paper has no wife,
no father, no family.

down the evil doors, and they owe
it to the middle States and to the
Northern democracy that they do

do so, it will be useless for us to at,
tempt longer to stand between
them and the enemy. If they are

Tennessee State Debt,

Our bonded State debt Is subject
That Is exercising the financial ideas
OF many OF our candidates at this

beaten in the election, you have the
satisfaction of having done no one an
injury by the maintaining of such
principles, Self-preservation, SAYS one,

true to our instinct, yet that never

always knew how many pages there
had been, but he seldom knew any

made a grand aud moviI g picture of
the assembling together of the worlds

lion and the lamb should lie down to-

them. But the pathos, the lesson, the
