THE BATTTE EIN PARTNERSHIP,

Among the State elections which are to tfanspire during the ensuing summer and autumn, perhaps there is that will excite more general interest conflict did, at the late presidential election, in a
 drawn batte," as it were, both parties will return to the charge with redoubled energy and yigor bent upon the achievement of victory. The democrats, flushed with their brilliant triumph in November, will commence the campaign with renewed ardor and confidence resolved, at all hazards 10 rescue the land of our republican president from the grasp of federalism; while the whig leaders, smarting un- der the signal defeat of their great chieftain by one whom they have learned to despise, will contest cry inch of ground with the desperation of a woun- ded tiger. Though in a small minority, the demo- crats will enter the field under the most advantage ous circumstances. The Hon. A. " Brown, whom they have selected as their standard bearer is an host within himself, and will unite and harmonze the entire democracy of the State They could not, perhaps, from the many distinguished and talented men in their ranks, have chosen more formidable or energetic leader. Possessed of intellect of the first order, combined with the experience of nearly twenty years in public life, and gifted with happy and lorcible delivery he has become perfectly in- vncible in his district, and is regarded with fear and trembling by the whig stumpers throughout the state. The name of Black Douglass never sounded more fearlully upon the ears of affrighted women and children in olden time, than does that of A. V. Brown upon the whig squadrons of Tennessee, They know and fear him as did the Greeks the gal lant Hector Devoted, as he is to the rights of the people and the great principles of republican liberty, as advanced by the iustrous Jefferson, and ever eloquent in their defence-t is not surprising that he was unanimously selected as the gubernatorial candidate by the nominating convention. Added to this, the democracy, from one extremity of the state to the other are aroused, and eager for the conflict Shagrined, but not subdued, that the land of the HicRores should so long continue under fed eral domination, they are preparing for one more struggle-one more united effort to burst asunder the disgracefu letters And that brilliant victory awaits them-one that will be responded to with heartfelt joy and general exclamation by the de- mocracy throughout the Union, we entertain no earthly doubt The lion hearted democracy of Ten nessee are too noble -minded-too deeply imbued with the sacred love of liberty and freedom of con science to relax their exertons when overtakeR by misrorunes or to submit tamely to defeat. Firm and steadfast to principle as their own native noun tains when driven back it but serves to invieorate them for renewal of the battle; and when they do return, like the ocean wave, 1t is with redoubled force and power. Knowing the democracy of Ten nessee, as we do, we venture now to predict that in August next the democratic banner will float tri- umphantly in the battle breeze, while the clarion notes of victory will be sounded from the broad ri- yer that washes her western shores, and echoed back again from the eastern slope of the Cumber- land mountains
