D,c'r Norris,
Dear &r,-In compliance with
my promise TO you before | left dur
Stale, ! now attempt to give sou
some suggestions rs TO political pulse
In Tennessee Now, that the contest
! is over, the public and private views
ofimpartiaI iron are gwen with much
candour The defeat Of Polk has ill.,
ductd Van democrats TO speculate Us
to its cause. And | am satisfied that
they give 1t up-he cannot carry Ten-
nessec ifhe should be nominaied.--
The people OF distant states suppose
that tie supposed preference Of Van
in this State is chiefly owing 10 what
is believed to be the preference Of
Gen. Jackson.
But, whatever that supposed pre-
ference may be in extent, be assured
that another cause exists more potent.
Some of Gov. Folks friends have
their hearts set upon making him the
Vice President--and they know that
@if Mr.. Calhoun is the man--his pros
poets are blasted-thai two Southern
slave holders cannot be placed ON the
same ticket.-Hence, be assured the
wire workers are putting feelers for
Cass.-I say "wite workers,-for
have taken some pains 10 ascertain
the preference of impartial men,.
Wings & Democrats, and | hesitate
not to declele my candid opinion that
Mr.. Calhoun can carry Tennessee, d
that neither Van or Cass can do so.-
And further, that the mass, always
excepting blind par,isans. entertain n
secret preference for Calhoan.--ln
this and other places, mass meetings
: have passed resolutions expressing an
enthusiastic preference for him. Gov.
! Carroll has recently assured me that
lie prefers him 10 any man living
Ii Southern Democrats are forced,
, from local considerations, to postpone
/. the elevation of Calhoun or Polk. can
they, for one moment, hesitate? In
1924, when the popularity of Calhoun
!, was inferior to that of ITO man In this
nation, he yielded TO the appeals Of
, the Republican patty and declined
in favor of Gen. Jackson and his friends
, to man sustained the old hero.---A-
gain, in 1887 aud '40, when the hori-
/, zon Of Vans prospects was most
gloomy, on what side were the mighty
!, powers Of Calhoun enlisteda Will
moi such a course inspire some gfall-
tdde in the peculiar friends OF Mr.
Van Buren,? Is a further postpone
], ment Of another 10 years deslred?--
! Can honorable men of all parties
D doubt the patriotism of Calhoun--hls
$ unsullied private character, his 81
: gantic intellect stupendous attain
/ ments and bis capacity for conduct
d ing the government Of this mighty
nation? Can Democrats of either
e section of this union doubt his ortho-
3 doxy upon the great principles which
divide them from the Whigs?. But,
"Mr. Calhoun cannot carry the De-
