TilK LEfJISLATUliK. The reports of legislative proceedings nad de bates eiclcde almost every (hinjrele from ourjia per this morniag. The spirited sketch cf iho de-' bate on the statues for the cspitol will, however, be read with moio interest than most of the legis lative debates; while the ablo and eloquent speech of the Representative fr jm Hamilton give-" in its strongest light the position of the frienite of the measure ad vccited. THE AGRICULTURAL 1SUREAU RILL. Ve feel a deep interest in the passage, of thi3 bill, because, having devoted a consideraUe portion of our time for the la3t two years in aidiag to car ry out the system adopted two yeais ago, we know how important to complete success are the amendments of the former act proposed in the bill before the Legislature. Indeed, it will be entirely impossible to keep up an efficient central oganiza tion if this bill fails. The great mats of the people of the State are formers, and the mejority of their representatives are farmers also. The farming interest is the oiiifk interest of the State. The bill asks the mTcn trill?, compared with appro priations for other interejts, and the merest trifle compared even with appropriitions to benevolent inatitutiors. This bill is urged by the members of the Agricultural Bureau, compos2d ofprcctical men, who serve the Slate gratuitously, and there ought not to be n doubt of its passage by a unanimous vote. AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION. . Governor Rodman M. Price, of New Jers3y, in ii3 lato message to the Legislature of that State, transmits the portion of the message of Gov. Joiix- sos, of Tennessee, relating to proposed changes in the Constitution of the United States, accompanied with the following strong endorsement. Gov. PnroK wis elected last fall by an overwhelming ma . jority, and ho 13 utiifersally recognised 83 among the ablest and the soundest of northern statesmen: "Some change, to my mind, is desirable in the constitution of the United State?, and for this ob ject a plan of amendments to accomplish the change nave been submitted to the Legislature of Tennessee, ty uovernor Johnson, to winch I beg to call your attention, as tney are calculated to nonu larizd our ficc institution, and make them more iib tional, by submitting the elections of President and Vice President, and Senators of the United States. directly to the people, instead of indirectly, through the electoral colleges and legislatures'; and a further ainenuuieiii, oy winch the judges of the United States couns shall hold their offices lor twelve years, to be divided into three class.-s, to that one third my becbojeu every fourth year, instead of lioldios their ollices, S3 now, during cood behavior. The importance of modifying the constitution of the United btatMts manliest from the present con tlttton of the House of Representatives. The choice ol a President r.ud Vice Pres cient should Dover be pla-jed where the eltction inirjht be indo finitely postponed, or reftilt m placing men la office without regard to the popular will. The proposed Einendments to the constitution would remove all apprehension and difficulty ou this aecount, as it contcmpUtes that each state shall be divided by tho legislature thereof info districts equal in number to the whole number of Senators and Representa tives to which such state may be entitled in the congrcs? of the United States, end the person recei ving the greatest number of vote3 fur" Vice Presi dent, in each district, fchall beholden to receive one sobs, whkra shall le certified to congress, who shad count the votes; but if no peison have a majority of the whole number of votes, then a second elec tion shall be htld between the two persons having tha highest numbers tor tho office cf President, ad tho same as to Um Yico Presidtnt, uad the elections to bo held, certified and counted in the seme manner, and the persons having the highest number ot votes to be decruad elected. 44 Your joint resolution approving of and recom mending euch change in the constitution of the "United States, and your readiness to promote it in cither manner prescribed by the Constitution itself, I rcspectiuily recommend. from Vit A'arheille Banner.

Ifliitcn, Or Hamilton, on IJie Endorsement of the Vontls of the City of Memphis, yWivcral in the Tennasre ITouic cT ntvrcseniatlve.. ri reported by A. L. , Drapier, of the Ur.ion and American Mr. Bnr.cn san1: Eat.rtaining as he did the highest respect lor his fei;ow-repre3entati7es, ho regretted exceedingly to diff-r ro widely from many of"themr upon the expediency ot tue prop-.seu measure; and he hoped that his friends on this ll or would paidon his teeming wildnes?, when be told them that from his earliest youth he had becu familiar with railroads and their practical results; when he told them that ooe of the first projected raihyajs in the southern States was constructed within a stone's throw of his boyhood's home; when ho told them tha. he came from a State whoso people, whose whole people were, but a few years since, considered wild upon internal improvements, but whose .ar-seeinj? enterprise i3 to-day known and acknowledged throughout the IeDgth and oreadth oi our coumry. But a few years since, the State to which he refer red wa3 unknown to tha commercial world; her bonds were a drag in the market She was with out credit and wkhout resources. But how stands she now? Behold tne proud spectscle! Today in the eyes of the commercial world she stands foremost in tho front rank of Southern States. She lwa by universal consent, deservedly, received from her si3ter States thep.roud title of the Empire State oftheSouth. Why is this? Is it because of her moro numerous population, her greater fertility of soil, her more extensive mineral wealth, her superior natural resources? No, Sir: Tennessee will yield to her in none of these respects. It is because of the constant fostering care which her legislators have wisely bestowed upon her internal improvements. I have not, said Mr. BuRcn, referred to thesa things for the purpose of eulogizing the State of Georgia, but rather a3 an apology for my apparent over-zealousness in defence of this bill . Mr. Burtcn continuing said: I have been asked, outside of this chamber, what interest' I have in this measurt? It is true, Sir, that I live-neither m Memphis nor its vicinity. My home is beyond the mountains; but the noblo aspirations cf my constituents for the good and glory of the who'e State would soar above thoso mountains, even though they o'er topped old l'tlioa or the sVyisk head of blco Olympua." I exult in tho belief that tho feelings of sympathy and regard of my constituents are not confined by geographical lines or natural barrici s. They feci that" the interests of the State of Tennessee are in divisible from the rock-ribbed mountains on her East to the Father of Water3 in the Weit. While I feel an honest pride in being the representative in this Assembly of the local interests of the citi zens of Hamilton county, I feel a loftier prids m that higher honor which they have conferred in selecting me as one ot the Representatives of tho entire State. , But to the measure beforo the House. I his o !. proposes the endorsement by the State of thirty year bonds of the city of Memphis, to tho amount of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to be expended in purchasing iron ruib for the cfis'ern division of the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad, after the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad Com pany shall have guaranteed tho payment of those bond3. . .... Ttin fW mixtion for our consideration l?, will the State be endangered by the endorsement of these bonds? Wha', Sir, is the condition of the city of Memphis, the obligor in theso oonusr ner m 1hrm1npq U tihniit Sl.200.000. for railroad bonds, including tie bonds now proposed to be endorsed, witn a iunuea ueo. oi auuut fiuu, W iwsfiLc- The eisbtv acres of Navy Yard prop- ortv flm imnrnrempiits thereon, in the heart of the city, upon which the Government ha3 expend ed $1000,000, estimated, if you pleas?, now at sr.nn nnn Th nnav or river frort. owned by her, f.t snnn nno Then the fourteen acre3 of land recovered under a late decision of the Su preme Court, valued at $200,000.

The real estate of private individuals now amountin-' to about SO.000,000, and daily in rrpasint? in vame. is in my opinion bound f sr th navment, in the first instance, of theso bonds. come to this conclusion from thestandard authority on oomorotions. Mr. Bcrch hero read from An- cell & Ames on corporation?, drawing the distinc tion between public and private corporations: "The members of a private corporatisn (?uc'a as a railroad) are not responsible for tho corporate debt beyond ihe amount of their interest ia the corpo rate fund; towns, &c, being established only for political and civil purposes, each member of the same 13 liable in ni3 person ana pnvaw eswie io the execution." Angell & Ames on corporations, sec. 35. "With retrard to the inhabitants of any districts as counties or towns incorporated by statute, if a power to sue them is given by statute, each inhab itant is liable to satisfy the jadgment."-Same work, sec 029. Imprisonment for debt havint: been abolished in this State, only the property, not the person, of each inhabitant would he nabio to sausiy tno juag mcnt. Am I then, with theso fac's befjre me, to bo told that the city of Memphi3 i3 insolvent? The value of private property liable for the payment of these bon?s and her otber debt3 13 now estimated at about $9,000,000, and daily increasing in value, so that its prtsent value will within the thirty years be moro than quadrupled. It is true, that the bonds of the city of Memphis are now considerably below par and so aro bonds of every other city and county in the Staio, but this is cot attributable to insolvency or want of means to paj; but to the pres-mro in the money market occasioned by the disturbed state of affairs in Europe, and the unknown character of many of these securities abroad. European capitalists, in the present condition of the financial and politi cal world, desirous of investing their fund3 in American stocks, wish none other than State or Governmental stock, because tho great seal of a State gives them a known value. Tne wealthiert man in ono of the distant counties might como to this city and desire to have his note discounted and hi3 application would be refused, because he was un known hero, but if ho could get the endowment of some punctual individual known to tho bankers hia note would be discounted readi'y upon tho credit of his endorser. Let us look now for a moment to the ability of the city of Memphis to pay the interest upon her bonds. Her annual revence, a shown by the ex posttioa of tho proper ofher, amounts cow to about S259.000. The inteiest upon her debt $1,200,000, amounts annually to 72,000. Her other annual expenditures for polico and city gov ernment amount to about 30,000, and she still would have a sutplu3 cf 157,000 annually, to pro ceed w;th her necessary city improvements and public schools Furthermore, the charter of tho city of Memphis as granted by the Lesi datura of the btatc requires that the corporate authorities shall first of all things annually levy sufficient tax todefray l interest of these railroad bonds ; until that is doji-, it is ex pressly and emphatically stated in the charter that no municipal enactment of the Mayor and Alder men shall be binding. Here are the facts and fig V . ., . i r m urea, tacts aro stuoDon unngs anu iigurca not lie. The opposers of thi3 measure must bsse their opposit'ou upon some other ground than the inability of the obligor in these bonds t j comply with her contracts. Let us now examine the condition of tho first endorser, for it will bo remembered that the Slate will stand as second endorser. The Memphis and Little Rock Railroad Company lia3 near 800, 000 of stock, including city and county subscrip tions In addition to tli- that compnny has from the State ot Arkansas a donation ot -580.000 acres of laud which was granted to t-iat State by the Federal Government to assist in constructing a road through her Territory to connect with the Pacific Railroad. These lands at tho low price of one dollar per acre would considerable more tnan pay these bonds; and it is one of the conditions ot this bill that the company shall be mado liable before this State shall guarantee the payment of the bonds. The mention of the Pacific Railrosd seems to excite a smile upon the countem nce3 of some of my friei-J-.: Sir. to d ubt tho construction of this connecting link between t ie States of tbe Pa cific and the Atlantic is to dmibt tho perpetuity of this Union. To doubt t-ie building of the Pacific Railroad 13 to doubt th&t t ie blood which vitalizes the human system flows through the arteries cf the body 1 But I will not discus that subject now. I de sire, sir, to reply to som - of tho arguments used ry my friend, the Representative from Henry, (Mr. Travis.) The elevated posiiion which ho occupies in the estimation of the members of this body en titles his remarks to our consideration. Ho is my warm personal friend. I admire him for his ac- IrwIiMed ability- I adm-him fo.- his social nph'::epbut I .wnj'wy to Imrj, proclaiming lrmself W'0 Rn 'IfQraai improvtment man, that I sdould he n:or& iispabie or hpmcc attpsf I i s cacdor. if ha cfiftd poirit to .v?iiild vote of his dur.ng tho present or any previous s sm of the Legislature j of taisSi.vte affording niv.-nal aid to our internal improvement sjstea'. f he record is againjt him. We a.-L- pointed to' the former Turnpike system ofc tiiis Stat, and told of tho great depreciation of tho value of the stx-'k of tliosi companies. Tuat is'froc, sir. Bat I ask, ha3 no: tbe Stats been re- j paid tf&fold for tie depreciation' in her turnpike , s'6ek by the advantages which she h&3 derived from her railways? When any means of trans portation and. ictsrconiHiimication can to devisjd as far superior to tailwavs as railways aro to turn pikes, then I, fcr dm?, w ill be willing to see rail roads s iprrse'ifca ana see nc stocK in them sink. Away then with the cry of depreciation in turn nike stcch Anoth-r argument mrst pertintciously pre:s- ed .iu oppoBit'on to this hi!!, h, that tho road which it proposes to beuefit is outof the Stats. Mr Spoakor, let usfora moment consider our posi tions and our dulie3 on this lfoor. Who are we and what were wessnt here for? S'r, tts sri lep resentatives of the people of the State of Tennes see, and it i3 our duty so to act a3 will most pro mote the interest of tbe people and tho Stste. Then, sir, the question which should present itself to tho coE6:deratnn ot every member is, ill the passage of this b ll promote the prosperity of the State and the succcs? of her railroad system? It is not, Does the road which it is intended to aid lie within or u-ilhout cur borde-s? (Two-thirds of the stock ol the 3Iemphis and Little Koc.i Com pany 13 owned by citizens of Tennessee.) Do not gtntlemen know that a large proportion of the stock iu the various railroad companies of thi3 State was sabscr.bed by persona an I corporations in other States ? Nearly one million of dollars of the otock of the Nashville and Chattanooga Ra'Iroad Company is ownd and was subscribed by citizens and Corporations of the States of South Card na and Georgia. So it ia with the Memphis end Charleston Railroad Company. A considerable amount of the slock of the E-.st Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Company wis also subscribed iu thoso States. The State of Georgia has by an ac tual expenditure of her inrans, not by the endorse ment of company bonds or the loan of State aid, extended her railroad into this State for tho pur pose of tapping the Tennessee river and connect ing with Tennessee rr.i'roads. She has expended nearly a million of dollars in constructing that por tion of her road which lits within this State, and in tho depot imnroveDjentsshuhas made. The State of Georgia in her sovereign capacity R3 a State to day o'A-iM.withni tli3 limits of Tcnnesiee over six teen miles of railroad, extensive and valuable de pot ground-, and by tar tho finest and most ex pensive railroad building in th-s State. And what ha3 been tho result of this expenditure of money by Georgia in making her cnnert'on with the railroads of Tennessee? I have before mo tbe last report of tho Superintendent ot the Georgia btato Road, end I sco that during the past year that road Ins re ceived at the Ch-.ttcnooga d -pot and from the East Tennrssce and Georgia Railroad at Dalton almost incredible quantities of wheat, com, oats, flour, ba con, hogs, horses, mules, iron, copper ore, cotton, tVS., etc. Mr. Barch here rea l from a recent report of tbo bapenntendent of the S a'.e Koad ot Ueo gu, showing the immense araonut of produce rtceived by the road at the Chattanooga depot and from tho .hast iennesaee and Georgia Rulroad. it treor gia had failed to extend her road into Tennes see ar-dhad failed to connect with the Tennessee roads, her great work would have been compara tively veljsless; as it is, the report of tho Super intendent shows that durin" the last fiscal year, ending the 1st of October. 1855, tha gross receipts of that road exceeded fifteen, per -rent, on its cost. So when the Memphis and Littls Rock Road is completed. You will then bring to the city of Memphis 200,000 la'c3 cf Cotton from the State of Aiksnsas, much of which may ultimately find its way through ourbardera to the Atlantic, or to sjppiy our manufactures. And the bacon, grain and stoat of Tennessee will find a now and pro fitable market in the cotton growing region of Arkansas. From Little Rock a raihoad isnrojectel west ward to Foiton, a distance of abont one hundred end fifty miles, with a grant of over o00,000 acres uf land to aid in its construction. Fro.n Fulton west to El Paso, Texa3 has made a donation of land sufiieiect to make an empire; thence westward to tho i io.ae Ucean, about eight hundred miles.- By tLis iice ot road you will havo throush the en tire length of thi.i State tho nearest and cheapest route fivm New York, Baltimore and Waahintcn to the Pacific. Then. I ask, is it i;ot a matter ot momentous importance to our pe jnlethat this con- neeUon should be made wh'.on w.li eventually open to us not only the trade ot Arkansas and western Texts, but of California, the isk-3 of tne Pacific and tto Indian Occam-? It i3 important too, that the connection between ilIemph-3 and tattle Uock should be made speedily. Ine act of tbe Arkan sas Legislature requires of the Memphis and Little Rock Railroed Company tha: the eastern division of the roid (about thirty-nine mile5) shall be com pleted on or betoro the l:t day ot January, ISos; otherwise tho company forf.-it to tie State ot Ar kansas the road, the right of way, the charter and the grant ot 460,000 acres ol land. Tnat ch liter once forfeited, and it may never bo revived. Th.ne are too many rival projeet3 in the 3 ate of Arkan Bis. It was only by the most uutitin energy that this charter was obtained. Napoleon and Helena were both pressing th--:r claims b-ifore the Legis lature ot Arkansas tor the terminus of this road. Memphis triumphed. Shall the lusc oj apple which our favorel city has plucked become Dead Sea fruit uooa her Iip'-r Napoleon and Helera would rejoice to ee thU pro ject fai'; each elated with tho hope of becommg the benehciary ot the conditional donation ot Had to this comoacy. Cairo and the friends of tho main Trunk Road terminating there would rejoice at it, and t!m- instead of having the lu'uio "highway of nations" passing tVcigh thu entire length oi your State, from Carter o.i the east to Shelby on tho west, it will pass alx v.- you through toe belt of free States from the Missiippi to tho Hudson. All but about thirteen miles of the first division aro graded and nearly ready for tlw iron. By ;h? endorsement of these bonds the iron 'or the entire first division can be purchased -and paid for, acd thus tic charter of the company with all its rights and privileges secured beyond the possibility of a doubt Without this endorsement a suspension ot the work seems inevitable, and a forfeiture of lh charter a necessary consequence. If Georgia, sir, had pestpsned making the con nection with tbo Teor.vs?ve roads until this time, ;t is probable that she could not now have male it, judging from the feeling of irritation which exists between the citizens of the two State. Tlo tido is at the flood; let Tennessee take it. The idea that the oodorsement of these bonds will cont'ib ite in any mea-ure to tho building of the Pacific Ra.lroaJ is treated as absurd. Sir, the lorgest chain is made link by link. Let gentle men look at our magnificent ehsio of railway from Nashville t J the city of Boston, and ask themselves if it would have been in operation to-day if the builders had wared until means had been obtained sufficient to t-uiid the entire line. It is quite true that the Pacifia Riilroad will not be comp'eted lor many years. Undertakings cf such importance re quire time acd labor, and endorirg patience and perseverance. But, sir, the Pacific Railroad vi;l be built. It is the duty of man to provide for his posterity. The tiue statesman will uot confine his vision to the present, but wiil penetrate "the shadows, clouds and darkness" which rest upon tha future. Withia the memory of the youngest man upon this floor jour Nashvi.le and Chattanooea Railroad was laughed at ai a InmbtiJt. Just ten year3 ago the gentleman whose se.it I nowoccipy introduced the bi!i to ehi-ter the Nashvil'c aad Ohattano va Railroad Company. It was an open charter, a-km;; no Slate aid. When my predoees sor, the Representative from Hamilton, uro i t'is passaged that bill belorc tha legtsla-uro ot 1S45 40, he was looked npon as a visionary. Aye, nr, even the citizens of Nashville, whom his bill was most to benefit, considered his project a humbug, and gave him the cold ehon'dcr. The Senator from DAvidson voted agaiost the bill and the P..-presen tativos mado no exertions to secure it passage. Had this importan, mea. ura failed, tho stimulus which it has given to Internal Improvements in this State would not have existed and your people would have still been travelling cn m the way whit i their lathers travelled before them. They wjuH have to-da? been 3ro3ung and re-cro-siug your mountains n regular one horso style. Tneai vantage h chTenne.-ee ha3 derived fromRiilroad within the pat six yoirj have been too great for nny man to qut-stion the wisdom of tue Interna! Improvement poliej. The last argument urw.. ; ;n apposition to th"s bill 1 i3, that it would be e.-tiblis-1 jp n dangerom pre- cedent. A dangerous pre.-eden-! Ia what respecl? In assisting to construct a rtad in another St;e j Georgia has not foundit to be a dangerous preer)- j deaf, either for you or for heisaif, to bnurr ht r road into your State. By meaiis of it she h,a entiohsd j herseK; she his enriched her private raihoal com- panies; -he has built up her cities; the wild wood i has-been changed into flourishing villages, and dull Owns into important marts. But I hava said, and I lepear, that, it is oar duty to ecquiro whut will promote tne interests of our constituents. It 13 not lor us to search the books for a precedent to do that which the interest of the State demands. This sticklinij for precedent becomes rather tho sonnd Wwycr than the wise legislator. But admit tbo force of itjn thi-iinstai:ce, if ycu please, atd I tell gentleman that when they can show me where a measure of sncii paramount importance to us as the Pacific Railroad can bo aided by tho loan of State credit, I will give it my sanction. Mr. Speaker: Before oncludiug, I wish to stato to the House another reason which caus33 mo to favor the building of this read. It is its importance to U3 in a national point of view. Dark clouds are lowering over our Republic. The enemies of our institutions have uttered tho war-cry. It is ourduty to look tooar position and strength en and fortify it by every means that God and na ture 1)33 thrown in our way. How s:aads the North? Lipked together by 3 continucusnet work of RiilrOdds, extending wetKard to Minnesota. At the first tap of tho dium sha could concentrate all ber last military strength and strike as one man. How is it with Li? With but few Railroads and these w.t"ioutconnectioi-s, spread over a vast ter r.lory, we might be taken at great disadvantage, avl would be liable to be cut up in detail. The vast Empire State cf Texas would be like a foreign ally. This short "link of a Railroad not only concects U3 with tho grand scheme of a Pacific Railroad, but all our sister States immediately Eist of us. It is, therefore, a matter of tho highest importance to the entire Sjuth. Tha endorsement of these bond3 will enable the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad Company to fin ish the first division of their Road. Tnat will give credit to the Company, enhance the value of the landit donatad to it, aud enable it to complete the Road to Little Rock. The corop'etion of the road to Fulton, on the Texa3 line, by the lands donated along the entire route and the credit of a finished loii 130 miles long would certainly follow, con necting with the Texas road to El Paso. No ono ever dreamed that the endorssment of $350,000 would of itself build a Pacific Railroad. It is simply asked to secure, while wo have the offer of ir, awinec'ibu with the line of theSouthern Pacific Riilroad. And it is fair to argue that it is the vitalizing spark that may touch with animation tho vast means and resources for the construction of that road through the States, which now he in ert We c'aim, sir, to bo Southern men, ready to per il our lives in defence of her honor. Wo some times talk about shedding blood in defence of our rights in the territories The building of ihisGreat western lluiroad will oe a measure of strength, and power to us worth forty of Kaosa3 It will populate the South and bui'd up towns and villagi-s; aye, and States, along its line. Look to tho map and it will he seen that there is territo ry enough along the route of this road for four or five now States, which would bo soon knocking at the do:-r of the confederacy, identified with ii3 in Climate, m sympathy and the pursuits ot industry.

Fellow-Citizens: Without tho nomination of any party, or the solicitation of any one, I beg leave to announce myself a candidate for the office of " Clerk of the Circuit Court." I was born in your countv, and mv father and grand-father lived and died in this imme diate vicinitv. I havo mvself resided in thia city (with t,ho exception of a temporary ab sence,) moro than thirty years, and am en deavoring to raise and educate a family of eight children in your midst. I havo never beforo sought at your hands any public favor, and until within tho last few days, had no idea of doing so at this time. Ilenco the lato day at which this address appears. What connection there may exist between present party politics and tho duties of a Cir cuit Court Clerk, (which would seem to bo more intimately associated with tho Judiciary Department,) I am at a loss to discover ; but, as it Las already been made a consideration, I feel that it is incumbent upon mo to make known my political antecedents and predilec tions. Accordingly, I slato that my earliest recollections aro associated with the old Jack son party then called " Republican," and my first vote for President of tho United States was iriven to that illustrious hero aud sfcttes man. When, however, our distinguished fel-lew-citizen, tho late lamented Hugh L. White, became a candidate for the Presidency in oppo sition to Martin Van Burcn, (which caused a breach of the old Republican ranks in Ten nessee,) my sympathy led me to prefer the former; and I have since answered to the namo of "Whig." In tho moro recent di vision of parties, esteeming tho proposition that "Americans should rule America" a truism, acknowledged by all true lovers of their native land which no intollitrent foreigner O O will deny of which none have just cause of complaint and, believing the general objects of tho American party to be purely patriotic, I havo adopted tho leading principles of that party, and have voted Ihe so-called "Know Nothing" ticket. I have, however, never been ultra in political sentiment ; have never been initiated into any council ; have never taken any secret oath ; and hero frankly de clare that I would vote for any personal friend, if competent, for an oflico such as the one to which I aspire, regardless of his politi cal opinions, religious persuasion, or place of birth. Regarding my qualifications (which I con sider of much higher interest, and cerlainly more relative to tho duties which will be re quired of mo, if elected,) I remark, that, at an early age, I was placed in a counting house,and received a regular mercantile education ; havo since been engaged in active commercial pur suits ; havo devoted many years exclusively to book-keeping, and' havo the reputation, I be lieve, of a good "accountant." For further particulars, I doom it more modest and becom ing to refer you to the citizens of Nashville ; more especially tho morcliants very many of whom are well acquainted with my character and attainments. Awaro that the popular mode of soliciting suffrage demands that I should travel through out the county, and, being of a sociable dis position, I most sincerely regret that present business engagements will deny me tho pleas ure of visiting you at your homes and firesides, renewing old associations, and making new acquaintances. It being thus impossible for me to wait upon you personally, I tntst that this circular (which I wish considered as addressed to each one of you individually,) will be reef ived as my best bow and most po lite respects. Sensible that my inability to mingle with you more freely than I skill probably havo an op portunity of doing, may materially affect my prospects, and, assured that my opponents will not leave a stone unturned to secure elec tion, I earnestly beseech tho aid and influence o f my friends. With these remarks, fellow-citizens, I eon elude my appeal, and submit my pretensions, to your consideration, in the hope of a favora ble decision. Very respectfully. Your obedient servant, C. J. F. WlIAltTOX. JST" The Bitiner, Phtrfotand Gazette w:ll copy. Tho CirisfeBbcrg- Family MOIIEO!' THESE 31EDICJNES A UNSOLD EVEKY "WEEK THAN OF AM.
