LITTLE TENNEssEE.-We hear from this re-
mote country, from which we hear generally more
slowly than from Europe, that the Wings are in
creasing in numbers and in zeal. Wyndham Ro-
bertson, Esq, Mr.. Watson, Of Abingdon, and
various other distinguished Wings of that region,
were to visit the county of Lee on invitation, and
we shall doubtless hear of glorious results
Throughout Little Tennessee, the most powerful
voting quarter of the State, our information leads
US to believe that the progress of Wing principles
is steady and sure; nor would we exchange Whig
acquisitions in that tier Of counties alone, for all
the Calhoun men and Texas spectators who have
abandoned or may abandon the Wing party.

SANDs's SARsAPAR,LLA.--An eminent writer OBJ
serves, that if man in Europe were to go to bed
with the conviction that China would be swallowed
up by earthquake that night, he would be less a-
fected than by the knowledge that his own little -
ger would be amputated the next morning. It is
strange, with all this sefshness, that men should
take so little pains to guard against disease, and
arrest its progress. A specific for that terrible
scourge of The human family, Serola has lately been
and yet the statistics Of hospitals and
other charitable institutions, well the general
bills Of mortality, shows that this disease annually
destroys whole hecatombs Of victims. In Sands's
Sarsaparilia Certain and speedy remedy is provid-
ed for Scroiula and all other disorders originating in
unhealthy secrelons and diseased condition Of the
vital huid The numerous testimonials Of the extra-
ordinary cures il has wrought and the increasing de.
mand for this valuable preparation abundanty attest
its value M

also hold in their possession nnumernble certificates from
persons, some with whom we are acquainted, and in
whose word we can place the fullest confidence of the
wonderful performed by its use such as Asthma,
Erysipelas Dyspepsia, Salt Rheum Chronic Diseases,
Rheumatism Scroula, and for oil impurities the blood,

Mr.. Polk ON THE TARIFF.-The subjoned,
from the Nashville Wing, ought to be read by
every voter:
By the efforts of the Democratic presses, the
impression is gaining ground in the Tariff States,
that Mr.. Polk is opposed to disturbing the present
tariff law. The friends of protection should un-
derstand MI, Folks position on the subject Let
it, therefore, be borne in mind, that his own lam
guage, delivered on various occasions, is, 81 am
opposed to tariff for Protection" ~ have at
all times been opposed to the Protective Policy"
II am in favor Of repeating that act" With
these declarations staring them in the face, Dem
ocratic papers have the hardihood to represent
Col. Polk as opposed to disturbing the present
tariff law, and in favor of the amplest incidental
Protection to American Industry. Can Colonel
Polk who has so repeatedly announced his oppo-
sition to the protective policy, suffer his opinions
to be thus msrepreseuted! at
