EDITORS CLARION: It is stated that Hon
Amos II. Johnston, on account of falling
health. has resigned the State Senatnrship
OF the 1lth District composed Of the cOun-
ties OF Rankin and Kinds, thus leaving "a
vacancy to be filled at the ensuing Noyem-
ber election. In looking over the many
prominent and distinguished names, either
one of whom would adorn that position, we
fad none more fully competent capable
and worthy than that of our fellow towns
man, Col. W. l.. NUGENr Modest and re-
firing almost 10 fault, yet of undoubted
ability. sterling worth and spotless char
acter, he would represent with aoility and
efficiency rho Interest of all classes of our
people.
As Judge Johnston resided in this city,
was one Of "our own home men," we think
il but right, just and proper, that his uncX
pired term should be filled by man chosen
from Jack son. Col. Nugcnt is too modest
TO seek or clectioneer for the office, yet we
believe, that if nominated, he would re-
spond to the wishes of his constituents, and
serve them faithfully i'm the Legislative
Halls. Let him receive the nomination by
all means.
