party. Mr.. Burns is by birth an Irish
man, and a more upright and honest
man has never made his home in this OF
any other State. We understand that he
is in favor Of compromising the State
debt. and this view will meet with the
approval of the people Of Shelby county
and West Tennessee. The mental attri'
butte, which Mr.. Burns possesses in the
most distinguishing degree, and to which
his success is largely owing, is judgment,
! To say that be has excelled by this attri'
butte is to award, perhaps, the highest
praise that could be bestowed on any
man. The Hottest and rarest quality OF
the mind is judgment. 1t is above in
vention; it is beyond eloquence; it is
more than logic. In every employment
and every condition of life, private and
public, deliberative and executive, the
ascsudeucy Of judgment over talent, wit
imagination, learning, is evinced at once
by the rarity Of the endowment, and
by the superiority which it is certain
to confer upon its possessor.
His sagacity in financial matters has
been so often and ever so frankly dis
played, and so generally approved, that
there is probably no man to-day in Ten
nessee whose opinion or a question OF
State obligations and taxation would
have greater influence with the j%udicious
minds of the country. In addition to
mental attributes OF the best character
and the loftiest sentiments Of heart, Mr..
Burns has moral qualities of the highest
excellence. From Partially, from peju'
dice, from the bias of anger, his nature
seems to be wholly free. In all the ele-
ments that go to make up the hospitable
man, the true friend and the honored
citizen there is not one lacking 10 the
character of Mike Burns. He is net q
politician, but q man, and his whole life
proves itself a model Of excellent utility
To his people aud a type OF great
worth and earnest commentator
especially to the young. These
are among the characteristics oil
Mr.. Burns, ard go to illustrate the ex.
csllencies Of a noble nature; and if they
provoke the impertinence of the canaille
Of scribblers, and develop the enmity OIL
the prevailing aud aspiring politician
they attract and interest the sympathie'
OF true men, and will not fail to elici'
the warm admiration and command the
sincere respect Of all who truly desire 6
