We wonder if it will be Tom Avery or J.
Knox Walker that will have to bear the
mortification of being defeated for Congress
in this district? We hear the name of the
latter frequently mentioned in connection
with the nomination. He is a regular,
thorough-bred disciple of Democracy, while
Tom's conversion has been so recent that
his party fealty might be questioned by the
radicals. Perhaps Mr. Curria may yet be
decided upon to be the best Democrat of
them all. Nous verrons.-Memphis Ledger.
