Tennessee.
NASHVILLE. Nov. q.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 0.
II is pretty certain that Tennessee is one Of the
four or five States which have voted for Scott
Weare equally surprised and mortified at the re-
suit. Tennessee, Vermont aud Massachusetts for
Scott We had voters enough in the State TO
have prevented this unnatural association but they
could not be aroused. John Bell Is a powerful
man. Fifteen years ago he pledged the State TO
stand by Massachusetts, and there she stands, al
most alone in her glory of sustaining Mr. Stewards
nominee
Let US, in apology to our victorious democratic
friends in twenty-seyen States of the Union. give
word or two OF explanation. In no State in the
Union is military fame so omnpotent as in Ten
nessee. Half our voters have been volunteers in
the recent wars of the country or are the old In
dian fighters Of the State or their sons. II is ut
.terly impossible to prevent large portion of these
men from dsregarding party, when General who
has won battles is candidate Tennessee Is the
volunteer State" and she will vote for Generals
Then, again, the men who control the whig or
ganization Of this State were implicated in the
nomination of Scott and it became a personal
matter with them to carry the State Their own
political lives and fortunes we're at stake, and they
worked with the energy of desperation. No such
NN'i,iNN"bi'H0 vi Ptinohh I'iOub anu loss prompt
ed the democracy; and the consequence was that
ten times the effort was made by the wings which
the democracy put forth. While the State was
shingled over with pictorial lives Of Scott from
Washington, and while their presses here were
kept continually running in the production Of cop
les Of the New Boston speech," "the Catholic
test," Pierce against the pensioners "Pierce and
his abolition allies" de-, the democats received no
documents from Washington, and our means Of
answers TO the whig documents were
very limited.
We expected too much, also, from anti-Scott
wings Many Of our friends seemed TO think
.hat they would do all the fighting for US, and
hat we had nothing to do but 10 look on and adj
nire their skill.
We are very much disappointed at the result
We had every reason to be sanguine Of carrying
he State, and we were So Its lost We rejoice
It the brilliant success Of the democracy Of the
Union; but we have no share in the glory Of achiey-
ng it.-Awercan.

Death of one of Burns, Heroines.

About the year 1884 or'5, Robert Burns lived
IN the ueighborhood Of Mauchhne, Scotland
which was celebrated for the very uncommon
number of pretty girls" I've beg pardon, we
mean Handsome ladies' living in the vicinity
Burns was twenty-four or five years old, extreme
/ " gallant, always in love, aud great fayorite
WIN the ladies, They were all pretty, but there
we're SIX OF them so especially beautiful, that the
susceptible heart of the poet was banded from one
10 the other like shuttle cock, in game Of bat
tedoor where there are half dozen PLAYERS
Ot course, he could not long remain the victim of
ms peculiar sensations, without indicating the
same IN rhyme. The following well-known verses
were composed on the occasion:
In Alauehlno there dwells six proper Young belles
Ihe pride Of the place and the ncigh6orhood a.
Then carriage aud dress a stranger would guess
In Lonon or Paris they'd gotten them a.
Mss Miller is fine, Miss Markland's divine
MISS smith she has wit aud Miss Betty IL Draw.
There's beauty and fortune 60 get wi Miss Morton
but ArmouFs the Jewel for me o them az
Burns, as is well known, afterwards married
Miss Armour. The subsequent history of the
other five, whom these simple and even rude lines
have consigned to immortality, is told by late
Glasgow paper Miss Miller married Dr Me
henae Miss MARYLAND an officer in the Excise
named flnlay Miss Smith Il Mr.. Candlish, Miss
betue (Miller,) Mr. Templeton, and Miss Nor
ton Mr. Patterson, a merchant in Mauchline.--
Only two of these famous bellies were liying in
1850, according to Chambers; Mrs. Candlish and
Mrs. Patterson. The Glasgow papers received by
the last arrival, announce the death Of the latter
IN the S7th year Of her age. The event took
place on the 5th Of October. She retained her
faculties perfectly to the last One Of her grand
sons asked her few hours before her death il she
stu remembered Burns, she replied "Ay, brawly
that Mrs Canlish the last Of the six proper
young bellies"
Little did they imagine when the rude verses
were written, that they had rendered them i'm
mortal, and that they would be remembered long
after the names of the great and powerful around
them should have perished, and left no trace be-
hind. Such is the power Of genius, which seems
to sanctity everything it touches.

A UNANIMOUS vorE.-The Herald thinks il
advisable, now that il is almost a certainty that
only Vermont and Massachusetts,, Of all the States
Of the Union, stand in opposition to the popular
choice for the next presidency that these States,
through their electors in the House Of Representa-
tiyes should unite IN the general voice, and make
the election Of Franklin Pierce unanimous. 1t
says:
1T would be graceful, noble, and patriotic
act; II the electors chosen do not feel at liberty
70 do it. the members Of the two Legislatures could
after consulting with their constituents, do it
through Joint resolution unanimously adopted in
IN public session Let il be DONE and the glorious
fact Of the thiry-one States Of this great confed-
eraey making unanimous and harmonious choice
Of their federal head and leader be thus presented
30 the view Of the world. How such a unana-
nous declaration would stand out in elevated con-
tras, TO the base, deceitful, and iniquitous mode
in which hypocritical and perjured profigate
has destroyed the republic in France by coercing
the popular voice to sustain his ambitious
scheme .'-Notionai Democrat.

BEAUTIFUL INCmENT-A waiter in the Times
having been at Marshfeld, tells of two young elm
trees standing side by side, on the farm, which
were planted there by fathers hand in memory
of the loved children who preceded him to th,
spirit world. One morning. few months ago
Mr.. Webster had been missing from his study
for an hour or more, when he made his appear
ance with two small elm trees and spade in hi.

he went out npon the lawn, planted the young
trees, and the turning 10 Fletcher said in a sub.
dued voice, as he turned away, "My son, protect
these trees after / am gone; let them ever remind
you Of Julia and Edward" Their scar and fall

mourning which marks this scene Of sorrow
The flower garden-enclosed with a neat and or
namented wire fence, on which are trained choice
rose yines-occupies nearly an acre Of land east
Of the mansion, and contains the richest and
most beautiful varieties Of plants and shrubs Of
every description, including numerous exotics.
From the same correspondent we get another
incident, which we have heard before, but it will
bear repetition in this connexiOn:
"When he (boy Webster) first arrived at the
academy Of Mr.. Abbot, his personal appearance
in bis ill-fitting, homemade, homespun garments,
together with bis shy, awkward manners created
much merriment among the boys, and many Jokes
were cracked at his expense. Young Daniels

suffering from it two or three DAYS, he went 10

The PloughbOy.

Some love to dig for golden ore,
Some love to plough the sea;
But to plough the rich but stubborn soil,
Is the ploughing-match for me.
From Nature up to Natures God
Mine eyes will turn alway,
How happy is the ploughboy--
All through the the summer-dayl
When the bright morn is breaking
Soft mist of silver through,
Each gentle flower awaking,
Its bosom gemm'd with dew!
When bird, and bee, and mountain stream,
Send forth a thrilling lay,
How happy is the ploughboy--
All through the summer day
III dig and plough, and SOW and reap
The sheaves of golden grain,
With God to bless my daily toll
1t will not be in vain
I'll trust his gracious Providence,
His staff shall be my stay;
How happy is the ploughboy-
Through all the summer day!
To know our time is wisely spent
A joy doth ever yield;
! know a flower they call content"
That growsin every fell
Tonurse that flower with godly care
I'll ever watch and pray;
How happy is the ploughboy-
All through the summer day.

CHARACTERIZATION FoRMED.-Hon. Robert c
Winthrop, on public occasion, recently detailed
conversation which he had with John Quincy
Adams, few weeks before his death, and very
near the spot where he died "Eyery day." he
said, "during his fathers absence in attending the
Congress Of independence after saying his prayer:
to God, he was required to repeat the following
exquisite stanzas of Collins:"
''How sleep the brave who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes bestl
When spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould.
She there shall dress a svveeter sod
Than fancys feet have ever trod
'By fairy hands their knell is rune;
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There honor comes pilgrim grav.
To bless the turf that wraps their clav.
And freedom shall awhile repair
To dwell a weeping hermit there

A Coon TmSG." G."-Before the recent election,
bet Of S3, 900 was made in Alabama, that Pierce
would beat Scott over one hundred electoral votes.
The gentlemen who bet on Scott afterwards came
up to Nashville, and "sold out" lie victmized
several good wings very badly. We understand
that while the process Of selling out" was going
on one Of the Scott oraters became very anxious
10 get a chance. He spoke Of his services to the
party very eloquently. He had labored hard
through the canyass--had spent bis money and
his time freely, and now as there was "good
thing on hand he wanted his share oft. Finally
in view Of the magnitude Of his services, and his
great anxiety, he was favored with thousand
dollars worth Of the "good thing" Since the re-
suit has become known, the conviction has grad

wasn't such "a d-good thing after all -
