TENNEssEE.-The excitement in this
State is intense. 1t probably exceeds tina,
of any other in the Union. The friends
and nsighbors Of Gov Polk are determined
10 show how strong he stands in his own
State, and they speak sanguInely of car
ying Tennessee by from 10 to $4,000
majority.
The great Nashville conven ion has been
followed by another immense gathering at
Sheloyville, in South Tennessee, said to
have been from fifteen to twenty thousand
strong. Legons came in from North Al
ALBANIA. The enthusiasm was perfectly
undesirable. A correspondent of the
Union says that

A Maine abolition paper thus speaks OF
the exertion of the wings in that state. Cin
they make more desperate eXertions in any
other state fthe Union. Certainly the hand
writing is on the wall so far as whiggery is
concerned. How different is this result from
the Gubernatoria election of 1910. Then
Fairfield, the democratic candidate was de-
feated; now democrat is elected governor
by a majority of 10000 over the wing can
didate. 1t shows the current ofthe northern
states. We say ii in all earnestness, that
we consider no future event more certain
than the election of James X. Polk. We
shall not be surprised 10 see Clay's electoral
vote fall below 100:
The wings brought their entire resour-
ces into the field. All the talent, elo
quence, learning, tact and stratagem, that
could be employed, were taxed 10 the Ut
most. And, far from stopping with these
we hazard nothing in saying that so un'
scrupulous, lying and desperate measures
were never before resorted TO in this State
There seemed Il phrenzed desperation in
their operations, as there is in other States
Conscious tina; their cause could not stant
in field Of fair argument, they attacked
private character with the lerocitv Of The
nyena in order to ALLEVIATE the confidence
Of liberty men in their tried men, and thu:
distract and conquer. Brow-beating, de
ceplon and sophistry seemed the sport o
the party. But God in his providence has
signally interpossd for the cause Of hi
poor the wise are taken in their own Graf
tiness; he spread his hand over the Arl
of Liberty in our country-it is safe, ant
its opposers are finally repulsed. To Hin

Casually visiting the warehouse fMessrs
Nichols, Fisk, g. Co. we noticed, what APP.
peared to us, an excellent apparatus for ele
waiting wheat. BY it, wheat can be elevated
and conveyed to any part of their extensive
warehouse, and if we understood its opera
ton correctly, the wheat will require TO be
handled but once between the teams and
the vessel on which Il is shipped BY thus
reducing the labor and expense of shipping
wheat, price can bepaid here equal to that
where they have harbors.

THE TELEGRAPH.
SOUTHPORT, TUESDAY, OCT. |, 1914.


6FThe temporary suspension of busi-
ness in our town, short time since, occa-
stoned by the uncertainty with regatd to the
location of the public works, has been sue
ceeded by perfect rush of business. In
the matter of building, we never saw more
activity than prevails at present. New bull.
dings, many of them large and substantial
are going up in every quarter of the town.
Mechanics of every description, have thcil
hands full, and more too. The number o.
new buildings which will be added to oul
town this season, will he great, exceeding
we think, the number Of any preceding year
Other branches of business too appear active
Farmers are getting very tolerable price
for their wheat, and large quantities are CO.
ming in. FIVE may Judge of the business
of our merchants by the quantities of goods
imported, we should infer that they were do
ing good business, which we doubt not, is
very generally the case. Emigrants are also
coming in, in great numbers, and settling
themselves in business in town, or on farms
in the country.
All this is gratifying, and as there is Ger
tainty that harbor will be commenced and
completed, we may all know that it is indie
alive of coming years of prosperity.

So far as we have been able 10 learn the
Liberty vote appears TO have decreased COM
pared with the vote of last spring, in this
county. What proportion fell back into the
democratic or whig ranks, we have no means
of knowing, but We hope before long to have
all those Democrats who left us undera tenn
porary excitement, again battling in the good
cause. That wing should turn abolition
st and remain so, is not TO us matter ol
surprise: but we do think that a man who
has ever believed in the efficacy of the De-
naocratic principle, would find some difficult
ty in reconciing with bis conscience "a change
such as we alluded TO. We think every
Democrat, on calm reflection, must be salts
fed that the permanent establishment of the
Democratic principle, is the means TO secure
at once the greatest good to the whole coun-
try, and in the end the abolition of slavery
and that indeed it is the only way to accom-
plish this latter object. 1t is possible that
by an organization like their present, the alb
olitionists may succeed in erasing the word
slave, from our national page. They may
do it asst has been done in England. There
we are told the name of slave is not heard
which is very true, but is because they have
another name for the slavery which there
exists in its most hideous FORMS 1t is. only
by the establishment of the principle ofequal
rights that slavery can be kept down and a
polished. AS long as there is partial and
class Legislation, by which the fruits of the
tell of one man are taken to enrich him who
tolls not, so long will slavery exist; and in
proportion as this kind of legislation is gen
eral, so will slavery be general and severe.
In England class legislation is carried TO its
greatest extent, and they have slavery in its
most revolving forms; and as England has
done We may here perhaps blot the name of
slavery from our nations page, but the par
ty who seek to do this furnish us no guaran-
ty that they will not adopt England's policy
i'll other respects, and give us slavery ten
times more calling. No, let democrats la
Dor to keep down and abrogate all partial le
gisation, whereby no man may appropriate
the proceeds of another's toll, and slavery
will be abolished, not only in word but in
deed. As we said in the commencement,
we hope before long, to see our old demo
cratic friends laborng again in the good
cause.

THE, ELECTION.

In this county we have been successful
! beyond our most sanguine expectations. 1t
will be seen our whole ticket is elected; the
majorities ranging from 100 10 $50. We
have nothing which we said before election
TO take back, but will again say that most
excellent ticket throughout has been chosen
by the people of Racine. We believe ev-
cry one of the gentlemen elected will be
found fully adequate to the stations to which
they have been called Besides having
good men, the ascendency of the democra-
tic principle in Racine, has been again re-as-
serted A large majority of the people have
no sympathy with wing measures nor wing
men.
From the adjoining counties, we have as
yet but few returns.
In Milwaukee, as will be seen in another
another colomn, the democrats have elected
their whole ticket, except sheriff.
With regard TO Walwouh county, friend
at Geneva writes us, as follows:
ave have elected our Sheriff and the
are in doubt, as | think that Rock will over
balance our majority in this county, although
think it will range from 80 to 70. We
made the Sheriff our rallying point" The
majority for May, the democratic candidate,
in the towns heard from is 25 votes. "You
will see that Maxwell received 4 majority in
Geneva owing TO some dsatfection IN our
party, The rest of our ticket received an
average majority of 1872 a4
We since learn that there is a wing majo-
lity in Rock, but if we are correctly inform
ed, not sufficient to defeat the whole demo-
cratic representative ticket. Major Meach-
am, of Troy, we are told is elected, and
hopes are entertained of the election of Da-
vid Noggle, of Beloit. 1t is to be regretted
hat the noble efforts of the Democracy of
Walworth, should be thus paralyzed by the
wings of the comparatively small county of
Rock. There should be separation of
these two counties at the earliest day posi-
BILE.
From other counties we have heard but
little. In the Blown district we think the
wings will elect their Councillor and one
member of the House; the demo Gratis two
members of the House. In this district the
Wing nominee for Council has spared no
eXcriions to secure his own success, and if
we are correctly informed, was not over
scrupulous in his eXertions. The Green
Bay Republican too, professedly neutral
paper, taking advantage of the circumstance
that there was no paper to expose its asser-
tons and counteract its influence, came out
on the eve ofthe election and by unfounded
statements and unfair and distorted nferen-
t ces, endeavored to prejudice the mind OF
voters against the democratic nominee. We
shall hope for the best from that district. but
we fear that Randall Wilcox, talented and
honest man has been defeated for the Coun.
) Gil, and his wing opponent Arson Dart, cleo.
