AMERICANISM
The following articles, samples of many such that
we have seen) are copied from newspapers printed
thousand miles apart They to show that there
is consentaneousness of genuine national feeling in
the country however the din and dust of party squab
hles may sometimes drown or obscure it. The re-
marks of the Tennessee paper particularly enti-
tied to credit, originating where they do.-Nat INTEL
From Gainesville, Tenn. Gazette June 10.
Mr. Epere1's Speech-We take great pleasure in
LAYING before readers the speech of MIR Euerett,
the Representative in Congress, delivered at dinner
given to him by the citizens of Nashville, "wthout
the distinction of political parties. We are gratif-
ed to observe in the intelligent citizens of infant
metropolis, by this manifestation of esteem and res
pect to distinguished statesman and scholar, dis
position to discard and all sectional feeling
and preludce--all malignant and hostile partyism,
and cultivate, with northern brethren, harmony
and good feelings There is nothing so calculated to
excite in the bosom OF American, patriot feelings
Of most profound regret the existence and mani

flame, instead of soothing and allayng them. 1t is
difficult for the best informed to account for the
origin of the prejudces and feelings which are so
prevalent in the South and West against the people of
the Northern States. Are the people of the North
more immoral and depraved than the people of the
South and West? No; consult the records of the
criminal courts, and complete reutation of such
charge will be readily found. Are they less enlght-
ened and industrious No reference to their sys-

provements-ther roads and canals and their practi

facures and the arts will amply dsprove the charge
of dleness and ignorance. Have they less public
spirit and benevolence No. to silence this calumny
it is only necessary TO point to the many asyums and
hospitals, and their numerous temperance societies.

gospel, &c. Are they less patriotic, OF less devoted

consult the annals of the Revolution, we shall there
find them freely devoting their best blood and treasure
