NOT TO BE BEAT.

The following stump speech is taken
from the Tennessee Wing, published at
Jonesborough, and is abou; as high flown
specimen OF the highly concentrated
style Of stump speaking 50 fashionable in
the Southwest, as we. have seen in a
twelve month. AS such productions are
rarely met with, we give it an insertion.
FelLotc Citizens didn't come here 10
make speech at this time, but only Just
TO extinguish myself as candidate
Gentlemen, please to understand that |
am the candidate Of the floating district,
and ! only want to make few remarks
at this time. A good many Of you, gen.
tlemen, has never seen me before, and
merely want to state my views upon the
question agiiated. Gentlemen, was born
in the county of Sullivan, and fetched up
IN Knox, without parentage, and If IT
hadn't been for the goodness Of God and
several other gentlemen, VINO tuck me
when an orphan boy at 81 years Of age,
and gin me education, might have been
as ignorant as the common people, or you
gentlemen.
Gentlemen, my father was patriarch
Of the revolution, and am patriarch.
Gentlemen, my father stained the walls Of
America with bis blood, and when Gen.
Jackson killed the Indians at New Or
leans | waded up to my knees in mud.
Gentlemen, | am opposed 10 Notification.
Gentlemen, | amt got time to give you
my views now, and | will call on you in

of big-bugs here who are trying to put me

independence and glory. Gentlemen,

can provements, inclosing this Cincinnati

Gen. Jackson says the scheme won't do,
and it looks reasonable. Gentlemen,
three or four INDUSTRIOUS parties are now
forming in our country. iederalsts, multi
flers, republicans and democrats. Fede.
ralists are so called from one Frederick,
King of all the Russias, and are in favor
of burning blue lights on the sea coast,
instead OF the common whale oil, and they
go in for holding all Conventions at Hart
ford. NuIllfers are opposed to the sove-
reigntys of the old thirteen States, and
go in for distressing instruction in the
South. Republicans are for putting down
the doctrine Of Instructions, and in SCRIP
ing the ballot box. Democrats are OPP
posed to calling Mr.. Van Buren, home
from Bogota, in England, and are of the
real Jackson grit, and go the whole hog
for silver and gold.
Gentlemen, this is my doctrine--and
here is an English half dollar have just
drawed from my pocket on which is de-
scribed my motto, in one olthe dead lam
guages, and the motto, as every true grit
American, " Explurisy Newmen"--and
which being impretcnded means plurity
of new men for office : Gentlemen, ac.
knowledge my indulgence to you, for
your kind obligations 10 me on this even
ial period. Gentlemen, cross over the
way with me, and we will get the worth
of the half dollar, in something that will
review our acquaintance.
