deliberate Judgment on cusc sfgucd before the
high tribunal al the people II lsuut success gain,

Is the result Of a fearless sud candid SUBMISSION ia
the voters Of Tennessee OF the political principles
which had governed tic previous course OF the cam
dijate aud would continue TO govern him, If sue
ccss6d, with the reasons upon which he had adopt
cl tha, course Col. PoLG entered upon his cam
saSs, knowing that majority OF nearly twenty
thousand votes had been gwen TO his opponent on.
N two years before lie believed That majority
10 have been gwen because the people o Tonnes

Nor IS IBIS jlie only aspect h which this triumph
Is peculiarly gratifying. II derives new lusre from

'ie contempt Of the people for that coarse dctrsc-
ton IN which thc chosen leaders Of Federalism gIo-
~ 1induge. Whom did they single out for thcr
abuse Col. poLE, tho Speaker OF the House Of
Representatives, The man Whose office aud position
should have pccuIary protected him. Why was
be lhus singled oul Because Il was supposed he
wAud he a candidate ur the Office 10 which hc has
JJ-t botn chosen. The batteries Of fcderl abuse

Ttnncsse no every word thus uttered was cher
shed up, every accusation thus made was e,Iled

thatt Is not he great amount Of bsnh capital
that cnricbes a state. Look at the comparison
bolacen the banking capital Of Ohio, Sll,200,.

foreign merchants, her agricultural products meet
With a ready cash salc--lew mortgages Of farms
to three times their value, general distress to

the contrast 70 tho present condition Of Mlssls-
