Mr.. GENTRY DlsTRIcT. The Rutherford
Telegraph, spirited and leading wing paper,
in Mr.. GeEtry's Congressional District, speaks
as follows of Gen. SCOTS nomination by the
Wing Convention. The other wing papers
in the District take the same patriotic view
of the subject
"We could never go for Gen. Scott with.
out an approval by him of the Compromise
platform. We have never doubted that he
was for it, but on n question of so great
importance, the interests Of the country and
the instincts of patriotism demand public
and unequivocal pledge to sustain those
measures. Gen. Scott, always for them, has
declared himself in favor Of maintaining them
unimpaired In the elegant language of
Hooper, he has "straddled" the Compromise
platform; and he is not the man to fall off or
to be thrown Off We therefore cheerfully
raise the Scott Flag, and shall do battle from
now till November for this glorious veteran,
covered with honorable scars If it be con-
sidered pledge and proof of patriotism to
fight for your country, who can show better
claims than WINFIELD SCOTT! For nearly
forty years his life has been spent under The
flag and in the midst of the smoke aud fire of
many glorious battles. He is n lifelong Wing.
He stands before the country as the represent
tative Of Wing Principles. He is for the
Compromise; he is for Internal improvements,
n policy vital TO the great South West: he is
for moderate protection to American industry;
he is against the wild and dangerous scheme
of Intervention. He is a CONSERVATIVE WING,
whose motto is to stand by the teachings Of
the fathers of the Republic. He is utterly
opposed to the wild and extravagant far att
cism of "progressire democracy" His motto
is to walk in "the ancient ways" Of our fore
fathers. A Southerner by birth, he halls
from the land of Washington, Henry, Jefler-
son, Madison, and Monroe. What is there TO
hinder wings from rallying upon him! He is
right on the Compromise, and he is right on
why principles. We are persuaded that they
will rally, and in that event WINFIELD ScoTT
will be elected President of the United States.

H We commend the following from the
Milledgevie Union, leading Democratic
paper in Georgia to the attention Of wings
il this State, who give Indications Of going
over, because Gen. Scott has been nominated
for the Presidency.
TERRIBLE IF 1'RUE.-We have heard it
asserted by some, who think they know, that
both Mr.. Toombs and Mr.. Stephens threaten
to become Democrats, yea, verify out and out
Leaders. We have never been badly frigh-
tened for the Democracy until now. We ac-
knowledge that il this news should prove
true, the Democratic party has stood many
severe shocks, but we fear such double
dose of Whiggery at one time would prove
too much for it to bear, its constitution would
sink under it. We cannot, we will not be-
lieve the report, Undoubtedly BIessrs.
Tombs and Stephens bear treat hatred to-
wards the Democracy of Georgia, and would
do almost anything to injure them, but we
cannot yet believe they are so malicious as to
join the party. 1t would be like men having
the Leprosy thrusting themselves into an as
sembly of healthy persons, and spreading
the contagion by force. We beg of them not
to do it. Do any thing else you please, "take
any other shape but that" and we will bear
it as well as we can; but gentlemen, for mer-
ey's sake, please do not join the Democratic
party.

,Sy" The Richmond Wing, which was
devoted advocate of Mr.. Fillmore's claims to
the nomination, closes lengthy article on.
the subject of Gen. SCOTS selection by the
Convention as follows:
Gen. Scott, in the darkest hours of Wing
fortunes, was ever true and devoted Wing
He never for one moment thought of despair
confiding in the virtue Of the people, he stim-
ulated the responding and encouraged the
bold. He now stands before the country as
the representative of that great party. He
has planted himself upon its principles. lie
has signifed his entire concurrence in that
broad Platform, which guarantees the right
of every section and the happiness and Sc
curity of the whole. His election as the ex-
ponent of the Union sentiments, and as the
sworn foe.Qf Al sectional q pm, wiki
an end to ianaticism and restore 10 every -.
ton of our widespread country the kindly
feelings of brotherhood and peace. He,
more than any man living, can achieve these
vast results. Bred under the auspices Of
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe having
drunk deeply of their fervid love of liberty
and Union, he more nearly than any now up
on the public stage approaches these great
patriots who founded and fashioned our in
FAINT Republic. He is the idol of all those
great States at the North and West where
sectional spirit has been INDUCED; being a
Southern man by birth, Northern man by
residence, and Union man by sentiment,
his great moral influence will still forever the
bitter waters Of sectional controversy.

tEy- The Richmond Advertiser learns that
the telegraphic report stating that MIR. Fill

was of the same piece of the statement of the

"THE Wing PARTY DEsTRoYED."-Our
opponents are unctifyiag themselves with
the hope that the symptoms of detection in
the wing ranks indicate its destruction, and
even some of our friends appear little ner-
uous about it. For our part we entertain no
apprehensions on the subject. We do not
perceive how the organization of the party
can be destroyed or seriously affected by the
dropping off of few political suckers that
have been hanging to the extremity of wfilg-
gerry. 1t is presumuble they will occupy pre-
cisely the same position on the body of De-
mocracy, until after the election, when they
will not be permitted to remain evet there,
but be shaken .offas of no further use, and
we shall then have them going about utter
ing their piteous walls, and crying in the Ian
guage Of Watts

nY% The death of Hon. HENRY CLAY was
commemorated in Athens on Saturday last, in
highly interesting and becoming manner
A public meeting had been called a day or
two before, without distinction of party,
which was responded to cordially by the peo-
pie, as will appear by the proceedings which
we publish in another column. Never, dur
ing our residence in this place, have we wit
messed more interesting spectacle than was
exhibited by the proceedings of Saturday,
The day was pleasant, and large crowd
gathered from the country, all manifesting
their deep concern at the nations loss AT
o'clock, P. NJ, an imposing procession was
formed at the Presbyterian Church, under
command of Gen. James 7. Lane, chief mar
shall Of the day. The various Sunday Schools
connected with the Churches of the place
composed the front of the procession, fol-
lowed by the reverend clergy, the members
of the Masonic Fraternity, the Odd Fellows,
Ladies and Citizens generally. The line
moved to the Methodist Church with order
and regularity, where large crowd had al
ready assembled. The spacious hall of the
Church and the galleries were densely filled,
and many were compelled to stand upon their
feet in the doors and aisles. The exercises
were opened by a solemn dirge from the
Brass Band, which was followed by prayer
from Rev. Mr.. Gay and the interesting Flu
neral Service of the Episcopal Church. The
choir from the Presbyterian Church then sang
that beautiful and highly appropriate hymn,
"1hou art gone to the grave" when the
Marshal introduced to the audience the Rt.
Rev. Bishop OTEY, who had consented to de-
liver discourse upon the melancholy event.
We shall not attempt even a sketch of the
Bishops address lest we mar its beauty, its
force, or its power. The public will read it
for themselves and will agree with us that it
was full of eloquence, rich in imagery, highly
interesting in the detail of facts, powerful in
thought and action, and replete with genius,
learning and piety. 1t was just such tri-
butte as would be expected from great d.
vine whose own bosom heaves with bcnevo-
lence and patriotism, to the greatest States
man of the age. The orator spoke from the
heart and his words fell deeply upon the
hearts of his audience. Every burst of pa
thetic eloquence was met by the warmest
sympathies ofhis hearers. The tear which the
speaker brushed from his own cheek was an
swered by tear and sigh from many stout
bosom in the audience. In n word, the adj
dress and manifestations of feeling in the
multitude were alike noble, and gave proof
that no man has ever cndeared himself so
too .sc ioaq gistGG aIs the American

A GRAND WING MASS MEETING.

A GRAND WING MASS MEETING, -
1t has been suggested that the Wings have
a Mass Meeting some time early in Septem-
Der, at Loudon, or some other suitable point,
and as we approve the suggestion most hear
tily, we take the liberty of submitting it to
the people this week, believing that it would
be productive of much good to the cause in
which we are engaged. Ex-Gov. JONES and
other distinguished speakers would, no doubt,
attend and address the crowd. What say
YOU, brethren - shall we have one more gen.
eral gathering together of Wings of East
Tennessee-another Grand Rally, where we
may minge together, interchange sentiment,
rekiudle the old fires, and light up blaze OF
enthusiasm that will spread throughout our
State, sweeping down and consuming all OPP
position! Tennessee voted for Gen. Harri-
son in 1910, for Mr.. Clay in IA, and for Tay-
Tor in '4S, and shall we now, through supine-
ness and inertness, permit her to be captured
by the opposition! The cause is worthy our
DeSJ tDOItS, anu Jul ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ihOiit
every exertion we can possibly make to Sc
cure their election. What say you, men OF
the mountains and valleys, shall we not once
more rally for our Flag and Country, and
make such demonstration as will convince
our brethren in other sections that the gic-
rious old Wing Column of East Tennessee
never falters, never hesitates, but always con-
quers!
We have mentioned Loudon, because we
believe it would be the most convenient
point for gathering large crowd. The
Railroad and River make it easy of access to
thousands who would not otherwise attend,
and we have no doubt every preparation for
their accommodation could be made there.
We should like to hear from the Knoxville
Register, and Chattanooga Gazette on the
subject. There is no Disgusting the fact that
if we are to carry Tennessee in this contest
we have got to fight for it. The opposition
are forming in close columns and present
formidable array, and they will dispute eve
ny inch of ground. We admire their gallan-
try, but we can defeat them, and WILL.

WING AFFAIRS IN KNox.-The tr-weekly
Register of 18th inst. gives an account OF the
Knox Wings, which goes far towards mltl-
eating the censure bestowed upon them in
the 'Post" of last week. The speeches made
upon that occasion, as reported in the Regis
ter, do most happily make the points, and we
believe that all will be well. The course
pursued by our delegates in the National
Convention is every way worthy of approval
and we take the ticket sent down to us by
that body with hearty good will. So ought,
and so will all good, consistent wings. Evil
dcnces of dissatisfaction are disappearing as
rapidly as they did wl.ea Old Tip was noml-
mated.

A SECTIONAL PARTY.-Before the nomi-
mating Convention met great fears were ex-
pressed lest sectional party" should be
created, and alarming were the dangers to the
Union predicted thereupon. The Conven-
ton met, and adopted broad national plat
form, sound in every plank and timber, and
then nominated candidate, brave and gal
liant chieftain who has fought hundred bat
ties for his country, and never raised his arm or
uttered sentence against it, and who I'M
hesitatingly and emphatically endorses that
platform in every sentence. And yet we are
told with an affectation Of seriousness that
Southern wings ought not to support him,
because, forsoothl some Free Soil men North
have expressed determination to give him
their votes. Now we may be mistaken, but
it appears to us that the men who urge this
course are doing more than all Others to ere
ate sectional parties" God forbid that the
time should ever come when such unwise
counsels will prevail. If it does come, then
may you, indeed, tremble for the Union!
