W p DEADERICK, ESQ.

The announcement of w. V. Deader-
lex, Esq, of Sullivan county, for the
ChancelIorship of the First Judicial
District. is to be found in eur announce
ment column to-day. He is well known
to many of our readers as gentleman
whose moral character is irreproachable,
and he stands at the head of the list as
a lawyer. From those who are most i'd
timately acquainted with him, we are
assured he is fit in every respect for the
high position to which he aspires. The
Jonesboro' Journal says:
By reference to another column it
will be seen that the gentleman whose
name heads this article, is announced as
candidate for the CHARACTERISTIC of
this District. The eminent fitness of
the man for the position is so generally
recognized by both the bar and the peo-
pie, and so manifest is the disposition
on their part to elect him, that we I'M
derstand the Democratic party will make
no nomination for the position, but &C
cord to Mr. ID. united support. An
acquaintance with Mr.. ID. from his
childhood enables us to say that he pos
sesses the very highest qualifications in
every respect for the office to which he
aspires, and we have that confidence in
the good sense of the people of this Dis
trict, to believe that they will show
their appreciation not only of the man
and his qualifications, but of the high
Office also, and that they will fill it with
| that character of person who Will alike
honor the position, and be honored by
| it.-JOHes6OrO' Journal.
In this issue We have the pleasure of
/ announcing the name of William V.
Deaderick, Esq, of Sullivan county, as
/ a candidate for the office of Chancellor
| for this, the First Chancery Division of
! Tennessee. Colonel Fulkerson, of our
comfy. the only other aspirant to the
position on the Democratic side, having
magnanimously conceded the race to
Mr.. Deaderick, that gentleman now has
the field to himself. Mr.. Deaderck
comes before the people with an envia-
BILE reputation. He is conceded to be
an able lawyer, is everywhere recOg-
| niZed as an unaSSuming christian gen
tleman of unblemished character, and
| being in the prime of life, he will, if
elected, bring to the Office all the requi-
sites for an able, prompt and faithful
administration of Justice to all parties.
AS the most appropriate acknowledge
ment which cold Sullivan" can make
/
sons, in his selection for this honorable
| position, we shall expect an unprece-
| denied majority in that county, and
notwithstanding the odds against him
| politically in the district, we now pre-
dict that Mr.. Deaderick, on account of
his personal popularity, will be elected
| to the Office which public opinion has
assigned him.-R0geFspiIe Spectator.
The Elizabethton MountaSIaeer, Re-
publican, notices the announcement of
Mr. Deaderick in the following compli-
mentary terms:
We publish in to-day's paper the an
nouncement of this gentleman, as a can
didate for the office of Chancellor of the
| first Division Of Tennessee. some years
! ago, Mr.. Deaderick resided in the vicin-
! ity of this place, at which time we en-
! joyed the pleasure of his acquaintance,
| and always found him to be a gentleman
of courteous, quiet and unObtrusive
manners, possessing, in a higa degree,
those unaffected and genial character
istics, prominently calculated to secure
| for him the warm friendship and kind
regards of all with whom he associated
We do not believe that the Democrats
could make eny better selection in all
the district of u gentleman upon whom
to bestow their sutfrages for the purpose
of elevating him to the office indicated !,
for his fine legal attainments unques-
tionably qualify him for discharging
the duties of the position referred to
in manner which would doubtless give
satisfaction to the public, reflect exalted
credit upon himself and impart lustrous
dignity to the Office itself. And last,
though not least, he is a gentleman of
unblemished reputation, whose private
and public virtues are too well known
and too highly appreciate by all his
intimate associates, to afford occasion
for any unjust criticism, and, therefore,
he is in possession of those inestimnble
prerequisites, which at all times serve
to render him bright ornament to so
ciety in any community where he may
reside.
