We copy the following from the NushsiIIr (Ten.l Banner; hitherto the organ of Gen. Jackson iu his native place :-
 ,-. The political enemies of Judge Wkite--PeT- sOOsIly we will not suppOee he has foe--can- not shut t!ieir eyes to She increasing popular. ity which is fast hurrying him to the hgnest political elevation in the world. Dem"nstra. tiOna from all quarters cvince the fact. On!y a short three months ago, he was scarcely spoken of for she Presidency. Other dIStin' guished statesmen, for some OfwhOm we nave felt strong par,iaIities, engrOssed pubic atten- lion and had already found able adv0cateS 10 The different journals of the country. The hai,1.. ii isl true, had not fairly commenced, hnt nn hoth sides of the great political de- nnarcations, the nOtes-Of prenaratiOn. partially n,norpssed by the doubtful consideration OG who should or who should nut be the chosen champon Of the field, had already indicated n renewal of the bitter strife which had sO long torn and distracted the nation. On the one hand, a powerful party. hradedb by talent ed and dauntless leaders, twice conquered but not snhGued, were mustering tor the contest and calculating the chances of an"ther sirUg- rle :-On the other hand, their cOnquerOrs, calling to mind, that !" the race Is not always Go the swift, nor the battle tO the strong" and therefore not the less waichfu! because they were niastrrs ofihe held, were not indifferent to coming pvenis, but were buckling On their armot for the war. Many g"od people on both, sides> evidently laulrnted the unhappy emulation. It was too plain to be denied that. amidst the tliscOrtl which presailetl and would increase, nnne could he essentially brueiifted hnt . few poliiieal aspirants and the office holders, or their odioHs eouoterparis the of- .seekers-ih0se land-sharks Of the day who iniest the country and prey upon its vitals: of the great body of the people 1t might be truly said. they were to be the sufferers, who. ever should succeed.
 At this crisis, when moderate men Of all t,arties had nearly renounced all hoPe, the name of Hugh Lapson White. of Tennessee, is presented to the consideration Of his fellow citizens. In the private relations of hfe, he npsintains height unattainable by the shafts of calumny and detraction. Before the sup uortcrs ofthe present administration he stands without exception and free from reprDach:- he Is .he early, steadfast and long tried friend of ANDREW JACKSON has shown that he is 30 from principle and not from the hope 0f re- scari. He has advocated and still defends most of the prominent measures of his admin istraiion; not because they are the doctrines of that Chief but because they accord with the sober convictions of his own Judgment. and because he has psactised upOU them thrO' the whole course of his life. Not less firm and open than other distinguished statesmen of the same school. he is, fortunately for his country and for his OwO reputation, less Often. siye than many of them tO the great body of the party from whom hs differs; because. while comforting their opinions. he knows how to treat his antagnnist with p0liteness and respect. With all these traits tO recom. if E.fl. .ssss zens for the exalted office in question. iG will he conceded by the candid of all parties, that l his apparent honesty and sincerity, d"es not cloak crafty spirit Of ambition. always cal. culating ,he chances, and ever ready. for the sake eofpersonal aggrandizement. to ''give tO party that which helOngs tO mankind." The ground then which Judge White occupies. may justly he considered neistrGi eerrftory :- the Whiie flag, the emblem of peace, is here unfIrled :--hither we may all repair. and seat ourselves beneath its ample folds, fer here il is. that brethren of tho same great Rrpnbli- can family, differing little in inc hue and dye ofopinion, but. like the colors of the rainbow. beautifully intermingling by invisible lines, may meet and embrace. Here. iadeed. is a common altar. around which, for season at least, party strife and inc vile spirit of discord wrangling for office, may be hushed ints si. | lence. t |
 Away then with all caucusiog away with | National, Conuentions!! They are at best but | the inventions of designing politicians. intend. ed to impose upon the honest yeomanry of the country, and tO cheat them Of the highest | privilege of frecman--the proud privilege of voting for the man of his choice, rnawed and ! uninfusnced by the insolcnt diciation of Il few l selfcreated leaders .'In theory our elections | are free. they should be so in practice" A. l way. we repeatit. with National Conventions Away with the mockery The intelligence of the American community needs nu driH sergeant nor impudent .fMglemen to teach them who to choose for ruvfs and who to rej4ct.-- Such bare. faced juggling cannot and will not be tolerated. The PEOPLE are awake to their ] rights, and they will no: tameiy submit to dic- tation+--it matters not from what quarter 1t | comes-the higher the source, the greater the insult.
