A LAST WORD.

The Election Tomorrow, 9TH.
Our readers are aware of the
fact that the special election for
the submission to the people of the
5O-4 compromise of the State debt
takes place tomorrow, Thursday
9TH inst. AS this will be the last
issue of the GAZETTE before the
finale of this all important event, we
wish to say to our readers throughout
the State and especially in this
division, of all political parties. that
the best and most judicious thing
they can do for themselves, their
families, their children, their chill
dren's children and their State, is
to go to the polls and vote the tick
ct that has accepted" written upon
its face, and to use every honorable
influence to induce their neighbors
to vote it. Do not listen to the
sophistries of demagogues who would
ensnare you into a foolish and sui
cidal act-an act of treason against
the honor and prosperity Of Tennes-
see, and hence against the welfare
and happiness of your children
but 60 up like honest men and wise
men, aud vote for the proposition of
compromise on the 5O-4 basis. You
have nothing to do but write on
your ticket the simple word accept.
ed" Place the single word "Ac-
copied" on piece of paper and put
1t in the ballot-box and the good
work is done. We urge eVory true
son Of Tennessee to vote the SAC.
cepted" ticket. With the success
Of that ticket a day of glorious
promise will dawn FOR Tennessee
day whose meridian sun will look
down on one of the wealthiest, most
enterprising and most prosperous
States of the American Union. Be
sure. then, and cote for the measure
'ohich promises such happy result
for he noble State Of Tennessee. !

VOTE FOR THE COMPROMISE

|
Are you rich? Vote for the CON-
promise. to enhance the value of
your property. eaal
If poor, vote for it. to secure your
self employment aud work all the
year round. za M
Are you land owner? Vote for
it, to enable you to sell your land at
fair prices to immigrants, who, as a
body. decline to go where credit is
not respected.
If you have money to lend, you
certainly would prefer to see credit
respected and honesty upheld for
you.
Do you want to borrow money?
By all means you will vote for it,
for it places four million of dollars in
the circulation of the State that, by
its peculiar character, though per-
fectly good, will be confined TO the
State, and therefore be local in
creasing wages and enhancing the
value of property. -sal aa5
If you wish to engage in manufac.
lures, the settlement of the debt is
an absolute necessity to its success
full prosecution.
If the extension of railroads is
contemplated, it cannot be done, for
money must be borrowed, and peo-
pie who have money are sick of
ing to Tennesseans until the debts
already contracted are paid. g 4
Have you mountain lands to dis.
pose of? The persons who wish to
settle on them are anxiOusly await
ing the vote before moving here.
In short there is no industry, no
business, not directly influenced by |
the settlement, and none that would |
suffer. by its payment. We, like sem
sible men, then, ought not to hesi-
tate if we feel any solicitude for the !
welfare Of the State.

sGsrI ANaoLD TIME FRIEND. ES-'' 81
We recently had the pleasureof form
ing the acquaintance lofa an old time
friend of the Senior of the GAZETTE, -
in the person of Henry Liggett Esq, who
resides near Kingston. Mr.. Liggett was
formerly connected with the Tennessean,
and was also a Clerk in one branch of
the legislature during one term: He is
versatile writer, fluent conversation
alist, solid Democrat, aud, all.in all, a
most hospitable and courteous gentle
man. q -

Iron and Coal mining Co., under the
management of Col. J.. g. Scott of st.

about the long neglected furnaces, and
will begin work in earnest in the near
future; large crowds of laborers have
began to flock around the works, but
the company are not yet ready to offer
employment to but very few.
FAME THRUST ON HIM.
Our esteemed friend of the Hawkins
county Department" seems to have his
hands full of late; what with 'eBric-a-
Brac' in front, the Little Blue jack
in the rear, and t'The Times" jay-hawk-
ing on his flank, fame and notoriety is
likely to be thrust upon him.
Poats is ''ould an tuff, - if he is little,
and we believe he has wit and pluck
equal to the occasion, but if the 6pe1ny
should "shOU6 bring On another boss, " we
suggest that the Hancock county col

Since then, up to 6 o'clock July %.
there have been 172 cases and "a

NEW MARKET.
JUDGE BUTLHR'S SPEECH THERE
.a YESTERDAY -SENTTMENT]S
.. OF THE SOVEREIGNS ON
THE DEBT. COM
PROMISE.
of the Tribune J


New MARKET, July 81, 1870.
Judge r. r. Butler addressed crowd
of about two hundred people at this
place to-day on the subject of the State
debt, advocating the acceptance of the
50-4 compromise. He spoke for about
one hour and half, and made a good
impression in favor sof the acceptance.
Recently the proposed election has been
freely discussed by the sovereigns in
this section of the county and has devel-
oped a more decided sentiment in favor
of the settlement of the State debt than
was thought to exist here. The .opposi-
ton has but little strength and the lBrge
proportion of the intelligent, thinking
people realize the fact that the good of
the whole country demands that the
vexed question should be settled. The
Judge dealt some heavy blows on the
Jonesboro' Herald and Tribune, the Knox
vile Republican, and cambridge Watch
man for their position and opposition to
the measure. The ''erring brethren"
who conduct the above mentioned Re-
publican sheets would not have thought
themselves very highly complimented
had they heard the remarks as they fell
from the lips of the speaker. The vote
IN this county may not be full vote,
but when cast will be largely in favor
of the 504 compromise.

be to relieve the State and the people,

To refuse to settle will be TO throw the

people, to be a bugbesr and vexation
for years to come, or what would be
worse, to force upon the people a crime

they remind one of Henry Clay mouth

Dexter, great big sixteen-hand high

Without exception he is the grandest
