As there has been no nominating cOnven-

proper to announce myself as a candidate
for Representative in the lower House Of

Regarding the political canvass now

feeling that the contest is between the
friends and enemies of republican liberty,

Of Indignation upon the reckless extraya-
gance that pervades every department of

load the people with intolerable burdens
of taxation, if it does not ultimately engulf
the State in financial ruin. / heartily
endorse the resolutions of the Conservative
party in Tennessee, adopted at Nashville
in convention, on the 10th of April last.
And ] am further in favor of an elective
judiciary, from the lowest to the highest
offices in that department Of the State gov
ernment.


am in favor of an immediate repeal Of
the law authorizing militia army of 5000
men, in time Of profound peace, at a cost to
the people Of six or eight millions of dol
lars per annum. l am for the political de-
capitation of Brownlow's shoulder-strapped
staff, and breaking up what is called his
military family" In short, am in favor
of a thorough change in the State adminis-
tration, as indispensable to the liberty and
prosperity of the people.


With these views | shall enter upon the
canvass determined, with the aid of a
patriotic people, to defeat the Radical can

which vast sum the government, Of course,
