T,he Trsunph i'm Tennessee.

rs,lsn, brefbren ofTennessee 1t is not merely
that .he potcal character of an influential State,
tie Executive. its Legislature. It's Delegation IN
Congress- including 10th its Senators, hung trern-
bling in the balance, while those Senators de
pended the ascerEancy IN the Senate. All thisis
much vet The moral influence of this victory Is
more valuable than even its practical results
Tennessee has been for some years OF the best
contested States in the Union, and its People, by
listening TO repeated, protractcd and thorough
discussions of the Political topics Of the day. by
their ablest men, are probably as well informed on
those topics as those of any State in the Union.
The State had Just been Distracted for Congress,
State Senators and Representatives, by compro-
mise between Wing House and Loco-Foco
Senate--of course, with essential fairness. The
failure of the last Legislature to elect U. S. Sena-
tors had given edge to the public appetite for Pc
ltical discussion. Every where 1t was under
stood that Tennessee was the chief battles ground
of IS43.
On all the collateral topics except probably the
failure to elect u. S. Senators, the advantage was
clearly on the side ofour opponents. Gen. Jack
son is Tennessean, once the idol of the whole
People, and still cxerting all the energies Time
has left him against us. The Loco-Foco can
yasscrs appealed with great dextcrty tenacity,
and no little effect, to the old Jackson loyalty Of
their hearers and tried to resuscitate the once ar
dent and general hostility TO Mr.. Clay, as the
deadly enemy of Their old Hero. The Bankrupt
Law was generally odous, and that was harped
on necessarily, in connection with Mr. Clay's sup
port of it. A Tariff, Protective in its character
however moderately, had never before been de-
Tended in Tennessee, and the general proposes
sion was against it. Tyler was represented 10
the People as Wing, at the same time that he
was used to turn Wings out of Office and give
their places to Loco Focos The candidate OF
our opponents for Governor was their ablest pop
uar debater in that or any other State, thorough
" verscd in ali the arts OF campaigning, better
known than any man in the State, armed at all
points with an intimate knowledge of our Pohl-
eel history, acquired by years Of service IN Con-
gress, where he had risen TO be Chairman OF the
Committee of Ways and Means and Speaker
For skill in the marshaling of figures connected
with the National Expenditures, and In selecting
the points Of attack best adapted to the popular
preudices, he has no superior.
On the other hand, the Why Governor IS

lage, or was heard Of out of his own County, un-

the duties of his Office, and could not initiate the

cecd only in the number. not in the ability Of

BIT the feature of this canvass which we re.
gard with greatest satisfaction, and which will
render It's results most lastngly beneceni, Is the
perfect fcarlessncss and unrescrve with which
the Wings have battled throughout. Their OPP
poncn.s have had no chance to complain OF not
Knowing where to find them. At every point,
their manly openness has contrastcd striklngly
with the caution of their adverSarics. They have
