public career in the Tennessee Legislature, or in
Congress, the Chairman Of the Committee Of
WAYS and Means the distinguished presiding
officer Of the House of Representatives of the United
States-or more recently Governor of Tennessee
or the candidate Of the Democratic party of the
Union for the Prcsdency--we find him not only dis
playing talents of the first order, but what is even
mportant, his conduct IS marked by the sound
est discretion while his whole life is model of purity
worthy the imitation Of the great men of the Re-
public.

shown that the Democracy OF this country, is in ia.
yor of the annexation Of Texas TO this Union.
