“Smythe”
W. J. SMITH, the “stern Radical from Hardeman,” is looking after State Senatorial honors! Poor fellow; he will look in vain!

We notice by a late number of that excellent paper, the Memphis Commercial and Argus, that W. J. SMITH is spoken of as “the representative from Hardeman.” This is an error. The people of this staunch old county have said in convention that he is not their servant – neither do they wish to be “dubbed” has constituents”. Lash him as much as you many, but do not say that he represents Hardeman county in the Tennessee legislature. Facts do not warrant the assertion. Don’t say it!!

The radicals of McNairy county held a meeting in the town of Purdy on the 27th January, and appointed delegates to the coming convention which is to assemble at Nashville on the 22nd. Fielding HURST was called to the chair. The delegates chosen were instructed to vote for BROWNLOW as the radical candidate for Governor, for HURST for congressman from this district, and in case he declined to make the race to vote for W. J. SMITH.
