We have been very much pleased with
the perusal Of a speech Of the Hon. John
Bell, delivered at d late public dinner in
Knoxville and pubIishedfn the Knoxville
Register. We regard It as one of the 1e-
nv ablest Of all the productions ofthat dis
.inguished patriot. # viii have its effect
ID Tennessee. The friends Of the admit
nistration are using the most unparalleled
exertions 10 prevail on that State to GO for
Van Buren,, but she will never 60 for him.
If she spurned at the last Presidential cleo
ton, when her own great chelftain, tn en- at
the head Of the nation. was exerting ire
nendous Official influence il his favor,
much more may she be expected to spurn
him at The. next election when his only re-
lance must be upon himself.
The following fine paragraph from Mr..
Bells speech is IN reply to personal
charge Of his enemies: ~. -.
Ny enemies say, that am nercenary
that am swayed by pecuniary interest
and favor, | am denounced as the hired
instrument Of a Bank. / win not conde-
seend to noticea charge of so gross a cha
racier, seriously, or in detail. Ii would be
sufficient for me to state, that my opinions
and my gene al course in relation to the

Der Of congress TO this day, as my voles
and printed speeches win show. But it
is worth while to notice this charge little
further, to show the utter absurdity of. the
attacks which the dealers in calumny of

no better ground Of assault. lis sale
