 BOYS, LISTEN TO THIS!
 The Wings advertised meeting at Cole rain, in this county, on the 18th. A respect able assembly of both political parties met, and were addressed by Messrs. c. B. Smith, of Indiana, and Mr. Crary, of this city, with great power and effect. While these gentle men were speaking, several of the Van Bu- ren men interrupted them, contradlctlng their statements. When they had conclu- ded, the chairman, we are informed, stated that if there was any Van Buren man pres- ent, who wished to address the meeting, in reply, he would then be heard. A loud and repeated call fo: Dr. Carter, from the Van Buren men, brought him reluctantly to his feet. He asked to be excused, stating that lf he addressed the meeting, he feared he should offend some of those present-but the Van Buren men had selected him, the.r strong man, for their champion, and the call became more clamoroUs. Dr. Carter yield ed, and addressed the meeting for about SO minutes, contrasting free governments with manarchial ones, and portraying, with great ClOQUCuCO Uuu NlCOIAOoop t1O pA"NsPASS ~A Liberty and our Constitution. The Van Bu- ren men were in ecstacies, and the Wings knew not what to make of it. This done, the Doctor paused-and then rapidly stated that many, very many of these free princl- pies have been departed from lately-had been frequently lost sight of, if not trampled in the dust, by the present Executive ot the United States-M0rtin Van Buren and his adherents-and that for himself he could stand it no longer-nor go farther in his SUD- port. These departures from principles, in his political leaders, had made him think deeply upon the subject; convinced him that they were wrong, and determined him to make the declaration that he could TO lOnger Gct Dith the party. He aoished it distinctly under stoOd that he aooulA from that time forth, support WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, Gs khe best aoay ot correcting these abuses and restoring the admin istr0tion of the GoUernment to true democratic principles! The effect of this was electrical. THE RIGHT SPIRIT IN TENNESSEE.
 The Voice of the People.-The communica- tion below, signed by 117 citizens of Blount county, will prove the accuracy of our state ments with rayn- .~ silo revolution in pup. lie sentiment in this section of the State, and teach lesson 10 " His Excellency," the Go- vernon, that he will not soon forget. It is, in truth, the uoice 0f the PeopIe-of the real De- mocracy of the country. It comes from men who have never been corrupted by con- tact with the vices and manners of the court who will neither be deceived without re- buking the servant who has violated their confidence, nor listen to dictation without re- senting the insult to their freedom of thought. We honor them for their independence.- Their names will be heralded with joy by every Whig press throughout the State, and they themselves greeted with open arms by every friend of Reform in the nation. The last S7 upon the list are from the company of Capt. Davis, known as the i" IuckGleeche BoYs."-Knorri!ie Times.
