The YorNG Wines. II Is a fact which cannot
have escaped the notice OF any observing man
that among those who are just entering up
on active lifc-young aud enterprising men
a large majority are Wines. The Wing cause is
congenial 10 the independent spirit, the unset
fish devotion to the country, the love of purity
and honesty in public and private affairs which
characterise youthful and unhackneyed hearts
Besides there is in the life and character OF Hen
nv Clay that winch cannot fail to call forth the
highest admiration aud respect of every urdeai
and candid young man. But what. on the con-
trary, is there in The mental calibre, or the char
acter Of Mr.. Polk TO awaken enthusiasm or Sc
cure attachment from those severe though warm
hearted judges, the young? Nothing-posiuvely
nothing!
Hence it is the young men of Tennessee, GER
tainly the young voters, are mostly Wing SAND
devoted friends of HENRY CLAY-Nashvllle
Banner.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.


Owing TO iil-health we were moi able TO be
present on Saturday to hear the speeches OF
our Electors and other distinguished gentle
men in attendance, and we regret 1t much
as we learn that seldom fever has a richer
trent been offered our citizens. The NUM-
Der of persons present was not as large as
couldhave been desired, proper and timely
notice not having been given; still there
were between 500 and 1000 present. JoHN
A. BRAcKENRIDeE led off in the morning in
a speech which is highly commended by all
WHO heard it. The wings of the First District
have good reason TO congratulate themselves
on the selection Of MIR. B. as their Eector.
A more active, industrious mar could not be
found, nor one who so we'll understands the
principles ofour party, or who is so able and
ready on all occasions 10 defend them. We
assure our friends throughout the State that
the First District will be redeemed III No
vemher.
JosEPH G. MARSHALL, one OF, our Elect
ors for the State at large, addressed the
meeting in the afternoon. His speech Is
highly praised, not only by the Wings but
by many of the opposite party; in fact, more
than one l~ocofoco has since admitted TO us
that if was the strongest effort in favor oil
Wing policy they bad ever listened to. He
has lone the cause good service in this quar-
Their. Gen. HopKIss, of Kentucky, spoke
in the evening to a large audience, with bis
usual force ant eloquence.

THNHE sudden change of the weather VIII be

are careful TO attend TO the state of the stomach
and bowels. LII this is done, no danger will
arise but on tho first feeling of headache. pain
in the side, back or bowels have recourse to
BRANDREFH'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL.
PILLS. Six or eight of of these PILLS will in
most cases be sufficient as a first dose, aud one
dose of this kind, it is not improbable, may pre-
vent months of sickness, perhaps DEATH.
They will, il used during the prevalence of
any cause fer disease, generally prevent fatal re-
suits; because they remove from the stomach II
bowels any moybiic matters, that may have ac-
cumuiated in the system by inhaling IMPURE AIR
or from eating UNHoLESoME FOOD.
Ii is at all times easier TO PREVENT than CURE
disease, because taking a preventive course By
using these PILLS we do not debiIitate the ma

ALL SAFE.

The very ready drithmometer of the State
Sentinel has settled the Presidential ques-
lion in his last paper beyond all Doubt
And it is done so easily, too, that we wonder
we never saw the matter in its proper light
before. sThe total vote of all the States in
$780," he says, "was 2,402, $685." and the
vote of Louisiana, N. Carolina, Kentucky,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Alabama,
about one-lourth of the whole, OF as he has
it ia figures, 575,22S. In these seven States
he claims q change in favor of the poke-ats
at the late elections Of 74,400. Well, the
sum, as he thinks, is easily accomplished by
the "Simpie Rule of Three,n thus:-"T'
(well put in,) "on a vote of $4,000 there is
q democratic gain of 74,400, what will be the
corresponding gain IN vote of2,402,o00?'
@"Answer-Polk's majority in November,
347,0o0!" There you have it, Coons.-
And not content with thrashing US thus un-
mercifully, the hard hearted Poke of the
Sentinel %inflicts another lash by printing il
c%onnexion with the above, the majority re
ceived by Gen. Harrison in 1910, which ad
ded to Folks expected majority of $4,000,
shows a change in tour years in favor of the
"lokyokypokies,n as Major Jones calls GU
opponents, of about halt a million of votes!
"Ma Conscience! - These Pokes fly high
and no mistake, but if the Coons don't sal
their tails in November it will be a wonde
to US. Three hundred and forty seren thou
sand majority! Again we say--"Ma Con

BROKE JAIL.-Three prisoners by the narnes

Valentine has since been taken. They effected
their escape by saving through the upper door.

to the second story, awaited the approach OF
the Tailor, whom they caught, on his unlocking

ably the case for the last eighteen mouths that
the prisoners have, just before the setting OF OUT
court or after they have been sentenced, made
their escape, and still we ara told that ourjaii
is as ssrong as any .one in the Circuit. II seems
10 US that if The Sheriff did his duty-examined
the Jail every day when he had prisoners con
fned, escapes would be less frequent. Certain
ills there is fault some where. The County il

H-The following extract taken from the
Globe, will show what that paper thought OF
Jas. K. Polk in 1889:
''Mr. Polk is wholly and totally an unfit
msn for the Vice Presidency of the United
States, he possesses no single qualification
which SHOULD entitie him TO the consideration
of the party for that Office"
The man who in '39 possessed ano sin
gle qualification" to entitle him to consider
alton, and who was n~lotally unfit" for the
Fice Presidency, is in IA the most fitting
man in-the nation for the Presidency!
