The friends of Old Tippecanoe will make a
noble fight in Tennessee. AS minority they
go into battle under some disadvantage O
course, but these are more than counterbalane-
| ed by the increasing enthusiasm of the People.
All the signs of the times point TOT close If not
succession struggle. And while in all candor
we advise our friends abroad to make sure the
! chase without Us, we warn them not to be sur
+, prised to see Tennessee sin at the DEATH"
Our Electors arc abroad. Mr.. FOSTER has
| already made four or five speeches and has
now list OF appointments rapidly succeeding
each other in Middle Tennessee, which we
understand extend INTO the month of MAY. He
has listed for the war, and depend upon it, he
viii make no half way fight in the great cause
of the People against Power. His very pres
ence IN the field will be Of vast service, anirna-
| ting, as he viii by his Characteristic ardor and
| popular address, the friends of Reform to in
creased zeal and activity. His venerable col
league, we are happy to learn, has reachad
home with re-inVigorated health and IN the
| finest spirits. He, too, viii soon be seen ming
ling in the canvass.
The Congressional Electors are doing good
service. Mr.. ARNOLD, at the last accoun 5
from East Tennessee, was preparing 10 take
the held IN 'hard earnest and with his usual
tact and preparation for stump encounters
species Of political warfare IN which he has
few superiors in this country. He headed
large and enthusiastic Harrison meeting in
Greene a few days since.
Mr.. BRANsFoRD Of Jackson, we learn, has
made a number of speeches IN his district
There is no man on the ticket better prepared
with sound, practical material FOR a popular
canvass. He is emphatically a business poll
tician, equally yersed in the every day wants
Of the people aud the political and financial
history of the Government.
The gallant leader to whom this district has
been assigned, Mr.. Jones of Wilson, has "un-
sheathed his sword and thrown away the scab-
bard" He gives, not one day, but his whole
time 10 his country, and there's not neigh
borhOod in the two counties, in which his elo-
quent voice viii not be heard by the first of
November. A farmer by sympathy and s'rais-
ing" his very delight Is to mingle with the
S0Uerctg7lS on the hills and in the bellows.
Mr.. DICKINSON of Rutherford is all life and
spirit in the cause. He has but one thought,
and that is for the success of Old Tippecanoe.
He glories in the theme, and his old constitu-
ents of Rutherford and williamson, shout at
its recital. 81 tell you sir, (said he to US soon
after making his first speech in williamson
The PIT and gallery rise to the Old Soldier Of
TiPpecanoe and the Thames-there Is no
mistake in this-he has fastened himself upon
the affections of the great mass, and their log
cabins resound with his praises"
Our accounts from Gen. Henry of the Ele-
venth District are distressing-,tor his Loco
FocO opponent. He met that worthy once or
twice in the strong holds ofthe Administration,
since which he has not been heard OF. A friend
writes from Dover, that the General has now
the field to himself He addressed the people
of Stewart, March, 5, in one of his most efec-
tive speeches. Our letter states that the Court
House was crowded, notwithstanding the de-
cided Loco Foco majority in the county;
more attentive audience could not have been
desired.
