Cor POh.--rhe contest in Tennessee this year
for governor and members Of the legislature is car
RED on with more spirit, we apprehend, than in
any other state in the Union. The Kentucky
Gazette thus speaks of the labors Of the democra-
tic candidate FOR governor: "Gov. Polk is, perhaps
one of the most indcfatigable electoneercrs in the
world. Looking over q Tennessee paper the 9TH
er day, we had the curiosity to count his appoint
ments for July and found that he has given notice
of an intention 10 address tho people at "a differ
ent places, in 81 different counties. When we
consider that he will probably travel, on an aver.
age, thirty miles every day during the month, and
speak a, lcas, two hours every day of the twenty
four some slight estimate may be formed Of the
amour, ofhis labor. Besides riding and speak
ing he will have his private affairs to attend to, to
correspond with his political friends, and prepare
himself for replying to the questions and assaults
Of his adversarics. The canvass in Tennessee has
been going on since tho beginning Of April, and
the work to be performed in July is but a sample
Of the labor which he has been performing since
the commencement Of the canvass.
