Opposition will be Tremendous Fear not. Unless
there is very sudden repusion of public sentiment in
Tennessee we will elect Col Polk for Governor and
think seven or eight members Of Congress, and Re.

We are indebted TO some of the Wings of Soulhamp

toass which were aimed al The 4th July in South
Rmpton, and at the dinner recently given TO Mr. Mallory
in Nansemond. How shall We return our acknowledg.

is asserted without argument requires argument 10

old Virginia State Rights Scbrc Us to de dictate eighteen

and 20 enthusiastic wishes for his election to the Presden
cy: The wonder is with us, how two gentlemen, whose
and stations grace that dinner should be placed

bed with such political associates. We are greatly de-

empties the full vial Of his unqualified wrath on The
head OF the Executive and declares at once that The

fes the respect which due to (his station if
his merit and ulathe) longer deserves be treated
with decacy'-n privilege, which Mr. l.. seems to ex.

Waving all other exceptions to this toast, we would
nsk any hig seriously if he does believe that Mr. Clay
is the man, who will not divide the spois among the
vicors' The very supposon is ridiculous. If there
be man in this country, who will reward his friends
and his Partizans, that man is Mr.. Clay When Secre
tary Of State, he ous,ed few printers from the pnblca
alition With G Adams. Make him President, and he
will play the game out The same bodness. which may
win him the Office will prompt him to retain it-HoD,
he once told Governor Floyd. Give me office and pa.
ronage, and if do not make myself popular. Such
was the substance OF his remarks in 1929 Is il not
idle say, then that Mr. with such principles, going
into office with so many "greedy expectants, will not
distribute the spoils among his victorious egiong How
many will he spare of the thousands who are now in
Office, and who opposed 10 his Administration? Will
he spare many the present Executive has spareo
Never He will soy at once, "Your kingdom has been
taken from you"-and my friends must now come into
possession
But the comfort u.s. that he will be elected The
People will trust him-the letters and the toass,
and the resolutions, and the addresses and the Conven
tons Of Staunton Ind Harrisburg &c, DC &c, TO the

struggle with Clay and his Speeches at their head
but in the following extract of letter. from one Of the
distinguished and sagacious men in The city OF New
York they may read heir fate:
Ntp YORK. July 3I.-"I feel gr.ti6ed, that our friends
are under easy sail indeed, think the game is up with
the Opposition They may quarrel about their oomina-
tom and Federalists Abuons,s and Antl-NlasonS may
wranple and abuse each other and Mr.. Clay himself
may ser into the arena produce concession and con-
CERT in his BEHALF but name whom they may, or
run as many candidates they please, our triumph IN
1910 will be compete-and in many respects, the most
glorious one we have yet achieved"
