% 1t will be seen from the letter
published in the Bristol Courier of the
18th ultimo, that Col. G. r. Vance de
clines becoming candidate for Con-
gress. Many of his friends had expect.
ed that he would be a candidate. In
fact, this opinion prevailed throughout
the District. And now, under the cir
cumstances, that he declines is certainly
conceeding and aigreat deal on his part
and ought to be remembered by his
friends in the future, as it no doubt will
be. We now see no reason why the
public mind should not settle down and
by common consent make Hon. VIM.
Mcfarland our candidate. He made the
best race under the most unfavorable
circumstances, and was elected by a
handsome majority. He has made a
good member; a faithful public servant
acceptable alike to all political parties.
We believe that it is due Mr.. Mcfarland
that he be the candidate of the party,
and we are of the opinion, that more
satisfaction would prevail if the De-
mocratic party of the respective cOun-
ties would endorse Mr.. Mcfarland, and
declare him the man of their choice,
and by common consent make him our
candidate without any convention cali
ed for the purpose of making a nomina-
ton. We believe this to be the best
course, and give the above as our opin
ion to go for what it is worth. We now
however, unhesitatingly say, we are for
our people are for him, and
when the election shall come, we will
show our neighboring counties, that we
are not so mean after all, and that there
is still honesty, integrity in the people
of Democratic Sullivan. tSulltoaaa Land

The last General Assembly of Tennes-
see, including its predecessor, was com
posed, as general proposition, of ig-
norant men, and number of them did
not have sense enough to know how to
vote upon many questions. Kn0rgiNe
Age.
This is cool Excessively cool /!
Does the Age remember that the last
General Assembly was composed Of
such men as Alden. Blizzard, Paine,
Logan. Marye, Quarles, Hodges,
Haynes, Turley. Overton, Wilson,
Smith, Moseley, &C., in the Senate,
and East, Lea, Gibson, Bond, Cum
mings, Taylor, Leeper, Neal, Gar
denshire, Perkins, James, Orr, Cole,
Jameson, Cate, &c, in the House?
Does it know these men? Does
it mean to say that these are ignor-
ant men? Or is it not, like many
others, disposed 20 croak just be-
cause it can? AS a rule, the scold-
ing house-keeper and the grumbling
farmer are always compelled to en-
ploy bad servants, for the simple
reason that good servants will not
serve such persons. So if the really
able and distinguished men compos-
ing the last General Assembly are
to be summarily branded by the
press as ignoramuses by reason or
their positions in that body, intelli-
gent men may we'll hereafter avoid
the legislature for fear of like treat
ment.

Send Senator Key to the North on a
pilgrimage to get up revivals. He could
act the part of Moody, and brother Helms
might go along and play the role of San
key, though we do not think Helms is
much of straightforward Age.
Whether witty or not. the Age
thinks the above is facetious. But
its programme is incomplete. To
make it nearer like unto that of
Moody and Sankey, the Senator and
ourself should be provided with 4
Secretary to take charge of the let
ters and documents that would inev-
itably follow US wherever we went.
IF brother Charlton would kindly con-
sent to act in that capacity, he might
not only powerfully aid us in cor
rectly rendering the part of Sankey,
but would be all the time continually
a living guarantee TO our anxious
friends at home that, as political
evangelists, we would never be an
noyed by disloyal and corrupting
communications from devilish out
side sinners.

d DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.
Yea. Daniel In an editorial last
week, commenting on Senator Keys
speech on the Mississippi reslutions
we used the expression HBourbonism
must die" and thereat our good.
but rather cratic, friend of the Knox
vile Age. uplifting his hands in holy
horror. goeth for us in an article
which makes an elegant cross be-
tween the solemn and satirical.
Well. we did say it We say it
again: s'Bourbonism must die j. and
if in those words our friend of the
Aqe reads the political death war
rant of himself and like spirits,
whose lead he meekly follows, so
be it. Our soul is moved with pity
for him, but we cannot spare. Eye
knew your duty and ye did it not"
1t is unnecessary for us to recapi-
tulate the reasons why the Bour-
bonistic principles so dear to the
heart of our contemporary must die
and be buried forever and ever, too
deep for resurrection. The country
recognizes the fact, and if few an
tiquated worshippers of dead politi'
cal gods, "wedded to their idols, .
have not already seen it, 'twould be
a waste Of time trying to convince
them.
But the Age says we characterized
as Bourbons all the Democratic Sen
ators who voted against the Morton
resolutions that we said Thurman
has no sense. Bayard is a fool, and
Salisbury can't talk worth copper"
| We just said no such thing, and il
the editor of the Age had only scratch
ed the back of his head and reused
the dormant mental faculties sup.
posed to slumber there, with all his
obliquity of perception he could have
put no such construction upon our
article. We said the vote of Sena.
tor Key on the resolutions was right,
which implies that the Democratic
Senators who voted against them
made mistake.
Such is our belief, and such it
shall be until we are convinced to
the contrary. We have no doubt
but Senator Key is willing to stand
by his vote, and the people of the
State will stand by him. Blythe
bye, wont the Age print his speech
and let its readers know what he
does say?

CHARLES r. KANCE ESQ

We publish below a frank, straight
forward, manly letter, written by
Chas. r. Vance, Esq, to the Bristol
Courier. The letter speaks for it.
self, and is just what we expected
from such heightened, honorable
gentleman. Mr.. Vance is a great
favorite in Sullivan, and has many
friends throughout the Congressional
District. His abilities and attain
ments we'll fit him for any position
to which he may aspire. but his sense
of Justice teaches him that there
should be no opposition in our ranks
to the reelection of the present Rep
resentative in Congress. He feels
that this is not his time, and he frank
~ expresses,his feelings-willingness
to wait the future. This conduct on
the part of Mr.. Vance. will certainly
lose him 10 friends-it will not be
forgotten, and the day will doubt
less come when its remembrance
will be expressed in manner more
substantial than mere words:
EDITOR BRISTOL CoURIER:-I have
recently noticed that frequent allusiOn
has been made, through the press, to
my name in connection with the COM
ing race for Congress in the first district.
While appreciate, in high degree,
the kindness of those of my friends who
have seen proper to present my name
before the, public in connection with
the contest for that position; and while
it would afford me the highest gratifica-
ton to have conferred upon me by the
people of my district the honors of so
important an office; yet situated as I am
at present, and with the lights before
me, deem it my duty to state that
would prefer my name would not be fur
ther referred to as a prospective candi- !
date for Congress from this district at |
the next election.
1t seems to me that the race is due to |
our worthy representative, Hon. VIM. |
Mcfarland, who, at time when a hope |
of success was entertained by but few (
men Of the Democratic party, abandon |
ed his business. sacrificed his interests
at home, made the race, and was elected !
by handsome majority; and that he
has thus far served his term in Congress
with fidelity, and is no doubt Just begin
ming to be informed as 20 the mode of
business in Congress, I think
it would be doing him that justice to
which he is entitled, that the people of
his district should send him another
term, while, by so doing, great good
might result to the country.
With all due Difference, therefore, to
he wishes Of my many friends, re-
;pectfully decline becoming a candi-
late for Congress at the next election.

Yours &c,

Among the Cincinnati Gazette S
Washington specials of the Oath is
the following:
There is much talk here among the
friends of the Centennial over the pros
pective action of the railroads. The re-
duction already indicated of % per cent.
is not looked upon with satisfaction.
Letters fIom all parts of the West are re-
ceived here daily, showing that the de-
sire in all quarters is to attend the Cen
tennial, and with most the main obstacle
seems to be railroad fare. The Centen-
NAL people are inclined to think from
what they hear that if the railroads should
put theiT prices for round trip tickets
down to half fare, in the end they would
gain instead of lose.
The Memphis A0alanche thinks
perhaps the railway managers are in
spired with the laudable desire to
have the people stay at home next
summer and save their Centennial
money. This will be the practical
resul of the % per cent. reduction.
as the railway magnates will discoy-
er when the season ends.

Democratic party must become party
of principle-of progress. 1t must not
ride at anchor. 1t must cut loose and
sail out with sheets spread and flag I'M
furled 1t must act Automatically. We
must not perish in the wilderness. We
must move out of it to the land of prom

does it do for me, like cat, to turn all

it better for me to say that you are a
scoundrel and liar than that you are
wrong but are honestly mistaken? /

funds. The directors on the other hand
insisted that they were governed solely
by the considerations of good policy,
and their course was the only manner IN
which anything would have been sayed
