The War, and the Canvass in Tennessee.
Tennessee is as heroic State as is in the
Union, either in the love of glory. or in action.
Yet it seems that even there, the Polk politicians
dare not place the Canvass on the naked question
of the authorship and OBJ ects Of the War. They
do not take the ground that the War was in the
beginning right, and for the benefit Of the coun-
try Just the contrary. They try to shift the
responsibility to every body in the world but the
right man-Polk
A writer in the Nashville Wing describes the
speech OF GOVERNOR BRowN, the candidate for
reelection in Tennessee, and gives his position
thus
e endeavored to evade the responsibility
which justly belongs to Mr.. Polk, the marching
army from Corpus Christi to the Rio G. nde,
by throwing the movement upon Gen. Taylor,
AMI SAID TAYLOR aduised it, and Polk ordered it.:
that is, Polk followed Taylor's advice. He ex-
hbised an old map. as he said, showing the Rio
Grande to be the line between the Spanish and
French possessions, and argued that it was the
western boundary of Texas, Mr.. Benton to- the
contrary notwithstanding.
If the Administration will not take the respon-
sibility of the IN Tennessee, where ill they
They can find no better ground in the United
States TO defend the glory, objects, and consequ-
ences of the WI in, than Tennessee.
We strongly suspect that the Wings will come
out triumphant in Tennessee, as ia New Or
leans and New York. As to the silly charge,
that Tay lor advised the march for Corpus Christi,
that was met, at once:
Seen. Taylor said, If our Governmen mt in set
Ting the question of boundary, should make the
Rio Crande the line &c. Did the Governmen Mt
make the Rio Grande the line? II the Govern
me had made the Rio Grande the line, why
then any man Of sense would have said Just
. wha, Taylor sail.''
The canvass in Tennessee is conduted in the
proper spirit. The candidates go together. and
Loco focoism has chance to skulh deceive
Mr.. Polk is there charged openly, and will be
obliged to meet the authorship of the war, and all
the absUrdities of its conduct-the admission oil
Santa Anna-;he three million Bill-,he atte1np,
