hard Districts but we trust both will be returned
tho latter by greatly increased vote tic has

Mr.. X. should decline. This is no time to risk

Tennessee.

The Texas party had great Mass Con-
venton of the South. Western States at Nashville
on the 18th and 18th, nt which they claim that
ffty thousand persons were in attendance. The
number was doubtless great. Care johnson, the
meanest and bitterest Loco.FOco in Congress,
presided, instead Of Gen, Jackson, MS was conf.
IDENTIFY expected. Speeches were made by Gen
Cass, Tom Marshall, Elijah Hise and Gen.

Ala. j. B. Bowlin Of Mo. and several others. Hon.
Ganscvoott Melville representative Democracy OF
New York on the interesting occasion, and his
speech is characterized by the Nashville Union
as thrilling, powerful and beautiful" We in
fer from this that the standard Of eloquence was
not very exalted.
The great Wing Convention was to meet the
next week. john ]. CRlrrENDEN, S. S. PREM
Tlss, Gov MoREHEAD, and several more of 'cm,
will be there TO talk. 1t will not be rery slim
gathering.
Politics run so high in Nashville now that the
two parties, through their Committees, have en-
tered into a compact, by which one has the ex-
elusive right to hold meetings, have professions,
&c. one week, and the other the next. This ar
rangcment is to continue til the Election.
Tennessee is vast battlefield, and meetings
after meetings take place daily, attended BY
thousands Every nerve is strained, every vote
will be polled, and we think the Wings Will carry
the State by 3to 5000.
A very significant incident took place during
the great Loco Foco Convention. A Wing had
advertised his willingness TO bet $4,000 even on
Tennessee, or $4,000 against sl,500 on the gen.
eral result. A Loco was encouraged BY the
great assembage to take the bet, but he chose the
general result. Enough said.
