MAJ. TUOS. BROWN.


The defeat OF this gentleman, who was a candi-
date Tor the Senate in the district composed Of the
counties Of Roone, Campbell Anderson, and Nor
gan, seems to afford the Cidyies satisfaction
than their success in any other district in the State.
The FEDERAL majority In the district for Governor is
about $50 votes yet Major Brown is defeated by
only about So The Feds call this a great triumph.
10 understand uhy the Clay Feds claim this result
great triumph, IL is only necessary TO state
the circums tances of Major Browns position. He
hal been an ardent supporter OF General Harrison
and MIR. Tyler, and had done perhaps much as
any person in the vicinity Of his residence TO bring
about that result. lie one OF the few, however,
who went for Harrison and Tyler. With him, II
was not all for Harrison, but he went for Tyler too.
Wben therefore, by the death Of General Harrison,
MIR. Tyler was placed in the Presidential chair, Maj
Brown was willing to Judge him by his measures
10 compare his acts while in Office with his public
professions before obtaining it, Finding these 10
agree, he refused to join the politicians with whom
he had before acted in general denunciation OF
him. They therefore denounced him. lie was, how
ever well acquainted throughout East Tennessee
and had been too long identified with her politics, &c
fear such result; and hc manfully breasted the
storm.
Al the session Of the Legislature a year ago LAS
winter he was one Of the gentlemen spoken Of a,
candidates for seats in the United States Senate and
in reply TO n,errogatories from the Democratic mem
bers emphaticay expressed his appreciation Of Mr.
Tyler's vetocs, and Of his course generally. Fol
this, he most bitterly denounced by the Clay pa
peers throughout the State. In the midst Of these dc
nuncistions, year and a half ago, he published
letter IN the papers, IN which he said
"When saw the first Bank bill which was press
ed the President, did not believe that IL was sucl
bank rs the people expected. II had embraced il
II all the evils which they had condemned in the lat,
Bank OF the United States But when the secon,
bill thrust on the President, still more sur
prsed. ! considered II nothing short Of license 70
brokerage large scale, putting il in the powe
Of the large Northern capitalists to be the dealers II
bills and thereby the regulators of exchanges for th
| South and West, TO their profit and our prejudice
and think il well for the country that the Presiden
had the frmness TO plant himself the Constitution
OF our falhers-to throw himself into the whrlw ind
and meet the storm, for the good Of his country
| But few could thus nobly have met such crisis
and when the excitement shall pass by, as Il uiu an
must and reason shall again resume her empire IN
name Of John Tyler viii find an abiding place in th
hearts Of his countrymen."
Since the publication OF tina, letter, Major Brown
although not protesting to belong to the Democrats
party, has received more than his share Of Fedora
! abuse. In the midst Of this abuse he announce,
himself candidate Cor the State Senate in the Roam
district, and, as we have before sad, although a.,
district gives Jones majority Of about $50, Msio
Brown IS beaten only so This result, Major Brow
may well claim a victory
