Nashville Banner which has long enjoyed the reputation
OF being the leading wing organ in the State, has taken
ground against the bill That paper is edited by the
gentlemen who succeeded Messs Sargent and Bullitt

President Pierce, and warmly endorsing and approving
the policy Of the administration We have room only
for the two concluding resolutions, which sustain the
policy OF judicious homestead law, and reaf6rm the
principles OF the Baltimore platform. They follows
