From the Nashville Banner. Aug. 20.
..Tctns or DianniOn,''

II will be scen, from the following letter ad-
dressed TO the Editors of the Knoxville Register,
that one of the Loco Foco Electors ior the State
of Tennessee al large has not only ENDORSED the
DISUNION sentiments of Folks conederates at
the South, but has gone far beyond them. He
has deliberately declared that, ii any civil commo-
ton should grow out OF the present agitation of
the Texas Question, he, for one, would be found
| fighting for Tezas and against the Union: and
further, that If he was now Member Of Con.
gress, he would vote for bill TO appropriate mon-
ey cut Of the public Treasury, sufficient TO pay all
the debts of the Texan Government whether lex
as were annexed to the United States or not
When we forewarned The people Of Tennessee
against Polk's Coalition with the Disunionists, IL
was denounced as " Banner Siander." What
say YOU now, Alessrs. Loco Focos We did not
GO so fsr as to charge you with disposition to
fight for Texas against your country. But your
own man claims that bad eminence for you as
will be seen in the following letter; ,ao
Dear Sir: This being the day appointed ior Co.
Bell 10 address the citizens ol Little Massachu-
selts," large portion Of the people OF our county
were preseat, notwithstanding the inclemency OF
the weather, which kept many away.
A large number of citizens mounted on horseback
met Col Bell one mile below town, ahd bade hiin
welcome 10 our little village.
The speaking commenced in the Baptist Church
ut about Twelve O'Clock, Col. Bell Leading on IN
speech Of great force and eloquence. He hrst TOOK
~ the Texas humbug, showing TO the satisfaction
OF minds not stepped IN pr JUDGE, that the Loco
Foco party were destitute OF any fixed principles
and had brought forward this Texas question ior
the express purpose Of evadng The three great ques
tons advocated and supported by the Wing parry,
as relief measures, viz a Bank Tariff and Dis
rIbuIIon
Mr. rurncy next appeared on the stand, and COM
mrncrd by shedding crocod le tears over The cond
lion of the Lone Srar of the West nearly the whole
OF his remarks being confined 10 Tie single question
of annexng Texas 10 the Union; and II he mny b.
considered true exponent OF the opinions OF James
r. Polk, il is time the people OF the Oned STATES
should take this Texas question under more serious
consideration than they have hitherto done.
Mr.. Turney declared that ii ever any civil commo
ton should grow out OF the agitation Of this ques-
and ogoiust the Union He also stated that If he
was now member OF Congress, he would vote TOR
bii! to appropriate money out o! our public rea-
sury, sufficient to pay all the debts oi the Texan
Government, whether Texas were annexed TO the
United States or not
Here, then, we have Loco-Foco Elecor for the
State at large who is supposed TO represent the p0-
Grcal opinions of James X. Polk, going even be-
vond the resolutions Of the DlsnDonists OF South
Carolina, and declaring not only a Willingness TO
fight for Texas against the Union, but 10 vote mo-
ney out Of treasury pay the debts OF foreign
nation and then levy a tax upon cur own citizens
in order 10 again replcnsh our treasury. Freemen
of Tennessee, are YOU ready TO cast your suimses
for any man who will advocate and propagate such
doctrines for The sake of Office
