AMERICAN PARTY IN TENESg
SEE. IS


Whilst the anti Americans are Growing very
loudly over the result in Tennessee, it would be
well if they would let the world know what
cause of graduation they can find in the result.
When Meredith p. Gentry received the nomi-
nation Of the American party at Nashville, the
Order was not over $4,000 in the State. Three
months ago the American party in Tennessee
would have been defeated by twenty thousand
votes. In that short space Of time they hav-
added over three thousand per week to their nu-
merical strength, and had the election been
postponed two weeks longer they would have
carfied the State by larger majority than it has
gone against Us.
To day the American Order is strong enoQgh
to elect its candidate, and if Americans will On
ly prove true to themselves at the next election
in 1856, it will be q hard matter to findthe man
who will acknowledge that he fought against
US in 1855. :.

We advocate The passage CT stringent law

80 MANS LOVE.
When woman's eye grows dulI,
= And her cheek paleth,
When fades the beautiful,
Then mans love fadeth;
He sits not beside her chair,
Clasps not her fingers,
Twines not the damp hair,
That Ger her brow linpers.
He comes but moment in,
!. Though her eye lightens,
Though her cheek, pale and thin,
Feverishly brightens;
He, stays but q lnofnent near,
When that flush fadeth,
Though true affections tear,
Her soft eyelid shadeth.
He goes from her chamber straight
Into life's jostle,
He meets at the very gate
Business and hustle;
He thinks not ofher within,
Silently signing.
He forgets in that noisy din
That she is dying!
And when her breath is still,
What though he mourneth,
Soon from his sorrow chill
Wearied he turneth.
Soon Ger her buried head
Memory's Light setteth,
And the true hearted head
Thus man forgetteth!
