TENNESSEE POLITICS.

the vote of Tennessee at the next election lhis
hope is based almost entirely upon their ability TO re-
yye the ancient preJudces Of the people OF that State,
which, in consequence of the hostile relations exist
ing between Gen. jackson and Mr.. Clay, personal
ps we'll as political, some years ago were so nan-
rally though as many Of them confess, illibcrally in
dulsed towards the great kentucky statesman. We
believe, however, that this hope will prove inbound
ed when the day of trial comes because the feel
ings which gave birth and vigor 10 this fierce anos-
i,y against Mr.. Clay have greatly abated in Their ar
dor, aud they have ceased to influence and nus
lead mems judgments, tue preJndces themselves
which their offspring have lost Their iorce, and
in thousands of instances have become entirely ex-
,inct The course which Judge White will him
self pursue TOO, will exercise no little influence up
ON the action of his friends-and what that course
will be- is clearly developed ia the snbloncd extract
from letter of Allen A. Hall, Esq. editor of the
Nashville Banner, written whilst recent visit to
Washington, and published in that paper Of the
l4th ult.
81 cannot better give the grounds and reasons of
this preference than by uuly stating what | under
stand TO be the present position aud what vi" be the
future course OF our old friend Judge White, than
whom an honester more consistent politician
does not live.
He, in common with the great bod his
friends in Tennessee, differed heretofore wnh Nj.
Clay in relation to the American System. But as
Mr. Van Buren, was also supporter Of that system.
the OF lection lies equally to him as 10 MI Clay. II
