PATToY THE MAN.

skIEGsPoRT, Sullivan Co., Tenn,
July 9Th, 1873. !
To the Editor Of she Morristown Gazette.
Ihad the pleasure of seeing copy of
the GAZETTE, dated June Goth, in which
is a communication over the signature
of LEX" 1 was very much pleased,
and as j had heard SO many in old Sulli-
van express themselves in favor OF
Henry Patton'sa candidancy, was glad
to know that we had one man at least,
who had the courage to send an article
from here. I endorse that letter, as
will Sullivan county, if Henry only
consents to make this race. de has
many friends here. In this county he
first saw the light of day, and here he
formed associations, that viii ever cling
to time through life. And here, no
doubt, when wearied with the battles
of life, he turns to the scenes of child
hood and signs for the loved ones OF
long ago." Here sleep the remains of
his ancestors. In 1862, though but a
youth, he joined company from this
county, commanded by our present,
efficient and able Senator, Hon. L. ii.
Denny. If, during the period he re-
manned with that company until his
transfer 10 the First Tennessee Cavalry,
or any time, he was eyer guilty of dis
honorable act, such was never known.
In boyhoOd, always truthful, and pos
sessed of traits that made him popular
with his playmates, am sure that he
has grown to manhood with that same
sense of honor. Five long years have
passed since 1 last met him, yet know
that he is the same kind hearted man,
and .nAiified too for this position, that
he would fill with credit His adopted
county, in convention, instructed for
him "first, last and all the time, " sen
tence that should ill his heart with
pride, as it does the hearts OF his many
! friends here, to known he is loved and
respected In Claiborne. Yes, we favor
his nomination. and the most influential
men of this county, will work to secure
his election, and that is as certain as
that he Ia nominated. He will be one
on the ticket, the opposition eanaOt de-
feat keep the ball moving" Sulli-
van is right, and SO Hawkins aoSU be IN

yesterday morning brought in verdict
of Guilty" Judge Mckinney passed
sentence on him on the re-assemblins of

the execution.
a more dastardly murder was never
committed in this county than the one
for which Howell is to suffer the ex-
treme penalty of the law, he having de-
liberately shot his victim while the lat
ter was totally unconscious of his pFox
unity as well as of his murderous tnten-

say why sentence should net be pro-
