j. j. DUPCY.

This gentleman is again before the
people of this District as a candidate
for Attorney-Gcneral. General Dupuy
has made most faithful prosecutor.
While conscientious in the discharge
of duty, he never allows his ambition
for success to force him to do injustice
to those on trial. He is a close stu
dent and loves his profession. His
character is above reproach, and his
daily life beyond suspicion. His legal
attainments are excellent and will con-
tinue to enlarge as his spher of use
ftllness widens. He should be re-
elected. The commonwealth in the
enforcement of its laws is safe. when
entrusted to his supervision. To show
his eminent fitness fer this, and even a
higher office, We might be allowed to
state that the highest judicial and
State officers, besides senators and
congressman, warmly recommended
General Dupuy to President Hayes
az the man for United States Attorney
of the Western District of Tennessee.
We need not enlarge on this subject.
Our people of all classes and condi-
tons will unitedly rally around Gen
eral Dupuy and labor to reflect him
to the position he has heretofore so
worthily filed

sailant. swAILs Is o loyal man to his
country. When wATTERsoS and those Of
kindred reasonable propensities were labor
ing to destroy the American Republic, Mr..
SwAILs was at tho front fighting to save
the Union from overthrow, and periling his
life for the national conservation. He was
then loyal, true, and brave man, neither Of
which qualities ofcharacter can be truthfully
attributed to his calumniator. This is the
difference between the two men-SwAILs
Is tnged with darkness in his face, while
that tint has struck WATTERsoS in the
heart SwAILs is now a loyal man and n
stnunch Republican, while wATrERsoS is n
disloyal man and Bourbon Democrat.
This is SwAILs' greatest offense, while
WATTERsoN has shown himself, ever since
the war, fit for treason, stratagem, and
"spoils" We draw these comparisons now,
because they are provoked by Mr. WAITER
son, who seems TO fancy that the calumnious
breath Of the Courir-JOurndl can destroy
the regulations of better men than history
has ever represented him to be. He retails
the stale ISLANDERS of the Charleston Neos
against Mr.. SwAIIs with an JUNCTION that
shows deep-seated depravity and bitter
malignity, and in all this he places HIM
self far beneath the man he assails.
