One word more and have done. am sure Mr.
Turney's speech was not designed for the meridian
Of Tennessee. There he can do no mortal man oil
either party the slightest harm. Public opinion is
hxed-unalterably fixed. No: His object was TO
throw dust in the eyes Of his old democratic asso-
ciates here, and make them believe that he was
patriot. Had he confined himself to the
proper and legitimate subjects for grave and rever-
end senator, should never have attempted to dis
urb him in the process Of accomplishing his pur-
pose. But il he travels OF the record to attack
an humble individual one thousand miles of, he
must blame himself il the attack is repealed.
That Mr.. Turney will hereafter stand up so straight
on the democratic PLATFORM that he will lean Oper
lttle, have no doubt. That he will continue TO
attend all the democratic caucuses, and vote for all
the nominees, whether in the shape Of a candidate,
or an important measure, as learn he has done
since the commencement Of the present session OF
Congress, have as little doubt. That he vii! ZEAL
