Not to be beat II ne ioio"hS STUMP
speech is taken from the Tennessee Wing,
published al Jonesboro' and is about high
flown specimen of the highly concentra-
ted style Of stump speaking so fashionable
in the Southwest, as we have seen IN a.
twelvemonth AS such productions are
rarely met with, we give it an insertion:
FelIo,v c;tizens:-I didn't come here to
make speech at this time, but just to ex'
,inguish myself as candidate. Gentle
men, I am the floating candidate Tor the
superfuous district, and only want to
make few remarks at this time. A good
many of you, gentlemen, has never seen
me before, and merely want to state my
views upon the question to be agitated.
Gentlemen, was born IN the county Of
Sullivan, and fetched up in Knox, without
paren.age, and if it hadn't been for the
goodness of several gentlemen, who tuck
me when an orphan boy at2l years OF age,
and gin me edicatiou, / might have been
ignorant as the common people, or you,
gentlemen.
Gentlemen, my father was patriarch OF
the revolution, and am patriarch. Gen
tlemen, my father stained the wall Of Ameri-
ca with his blood, and when General Jack
son killed the Indians at New Orleans, !
waded up to my knees in mud. Gentle
men, am opposed to Notification. Gen
tlemen, would rather be a gally pot slave
than to be Nuli6er. Gentlemen, amt
got time to give you my views now, and ]
will call on you few days; but gentlemen.
there was set Of big Bugs here who are
trying to put me down, but, gentlemen,
defy 'em. Gentlemen, have always been
for liberty, independence and glory: Gen.
tlemen, hope to be delivered out of the
hands ofthe bull rushes.
Gentlemen, it will be surmised that |
should revulge my views ofState policy. l
60 against the whole allegation ofpuplic i'm
p'ovements, in closing this Cincinnati, Ten
nessee, Charleston Road of rails. Gen.
eraI Jackson says the scheme won't do,
and it is reasonable. Gentlemen three or
four monstrous parties are now forming in
our country, federaiist, nulafres, repupli-
cans & democrats. Federalists are SO called
from one Frederick, King of all the Rus
SLAMS, and are in favor of burning blue-lights
on the sea-coast, instead Of the common
whale oil, and they go for holding all con-
ventions at Hartford. Nulli6res are oppo-
sed to the sovereignty of the old thirteen
States, and 60 i'll for grand confederacy
in the South. Republicans are for putting
down the doctrine of Instructions, and
usurping the ballot box.
Democrats are opposed to calling Mr..
Van Buren, home from Bogota Ill Eng land,
and are Of the real Jackson grit, and 60 the
whole hog for silver and gold. Gentle
men, this is my doctrine, and here is an
English half dollar l have just drawed
from my pocket, or which is described my
motto, in one of the dead languages, and
the motto of every true grit American.
'Eplericy Newman !'-and which being
interpreted means, plurality Of new men
for office! Gentlemen, acknowledge my
indulgence to you for your kind obligations
to me OH this eventful period. Gentlemen,
cross over the way with me, and we will
get the worth of this half dollar in some.
thing that will review our acquaintance.
