Gen. TrOusdale--- the Canvass Whig
Movements.

since our promise OF q nOllce Oh
the Democratic State Convention, we
have seen coming from every quarter
Of the State, the most glowing and
enthusiastic responses to the action
of that body,not only endorsing the
platform laid down in the, series Of
resolutions, but with an unsurpassed
zeal and unanimity striving to see
who do can the greatest honor
to the-yeteran Trousdale, in expires,
sions of hearty appreciation of bis
second selection as the standard
bearer of the Tennessee Democ-
racy, in the cause of human
rights and human freedom. In view
of this, it makes it difficult for us tc
do more at this late hour, than to re-
tread the ground already passed over
by others; and our inability to exec
what has already been said, deters US
from an effort to do more than at
tempt to assure the "whole world and
the rest Of mankind" that it is not
possible for man to love the cause
better than We do, or to have more
fixed determination to give the old
hero Whole souled support through
out the length and breadth of the
gloriousl} opening canvas IS, And in
living our own feelings and deter
nlination, we have the fullest conf
'dence ii the democracy Of old Lin
coin, based upon a long and thorough
observation, that they will not be
found wanting either in preparation
for, or during the coming contest

we declare that a general diffusion o.
that conservative feeling and devo-
ton to BFinciple which has ever per
vaded the democracy of Lincoln, is
all that is wanting to guarantee an
other and more glorious victory, not
only in behalf of the Old Chief, but
in securing a d decided majority in our
next General Assembly land retaining
our full number of Representatives
in Congress. We hope the prompt
and noble stand Of the democracy of
our county, to sacrifice every thing
for the success Of the cause, will have
a salutary influence upo . the party
all over the State.
