A SIGN IN TENNEssEe.--Some of the
V. b. papers affect to think, that there is
prospect of Mr.. Bells being defeated in
his canvass for Congress by his loco foco
competitor, Mr.. Burton. A statement
IN late number of the Nashville Banner
pretty fully illustrates the absurdity Of
such calculation. The Banner says,
that, after recent election of magistrate
in very populous portion OF the district,
the persons assembled agreed to ascertain
the strength Of parties in reference to the
Congressional election. The number of
voters present was 96, and the vote stood,
for Bell "a, for Burton o.
The Globe of the 18th inst contains al
short correspondence between Secretary
Paulding and Lieut.. Moore, in which the
former, abiding to the reports of Mr..
Moore being appointed to the command of
the Texian Navy, asks information upon
the subject. Lieut. Moore, in reply, states
that he had no agency in circulating the
reports; and the fact of his still holding
a commission in the U. S. Navy is al
luded to as sufficient evidence that he has
accepted no appointment in the Texan
service.
We learn from the Virginia papers,
that the popular Congressional vote in the
Old Dominion shews majority Of about
$500 for the Wings, and, that the vote
in the Legislative elections exhibits ma.
jority equally triumphant if not more so.

Extensive preparations are making by
the partizan friends Of Mr. Van Buren, for
his reception in New York--so says a
New York paper. This sounds to us
wrong--the reception of the President
should be the act of all not of mere parti-
zans. 1t is the office not the man which
merits the attention. Mr.. Van Buren, as
an individual only merits that attention
which every man Of character and private
worth is entitled to, but the President Of
The United States, the office deserves a
very different and much more marked at
tention, and this attention every patriot
should be willing to manifest--Mo. Rep.
