TENNESSEE ELECTION.

The oatrdrd march Of truth and principle,
Our news from Tennessee is most cheering
better even than the most sanguine friends of the
democratic cause here had anticipated, We have
returns from some dozen counties, which exhibit
an unparalleled change Of public sentiment a
gans the wings and in favor of the democrats.
If the change has been as great throughout the
State, Polk Is elected by triumphant majority.
But We viii not hollow before we are out Of the
woods. The last Nashville Union, printed the
day after the election, says 1.-The struggle is
over. We have returns only from few counties.
