to tell the story of how the nation and the
State need Harris, and how they and the
earth might perish il he were passed by.
These claims touching the necessity OF
securing this or that mans services, oc-
casionally have merit in them, but rs a
rule they are pure rot and insulting TO the
intelligence OF the people. We can name
dozen citizens who Nhould represent
Tennessee in the Senate as ably and
honorably at least as Mr.. Harris has done.
The State will survive him and all his
works and wiles; and we think IL would
not be worse but better oil for his final dis
missal at the end Of his current term.
Harris has had now deal more than
his merits, abilities and patriotic SER

made to stand aside for better and
