TEvxEssEE.-We believe Johnson's ma

between 800 and 2,000-that the Know
Nothngs have the Senate and the Demo

turns cannot vary these conclusions. l.a.4

A gentleman directly from East Tennes-

the American party six Of the ten Congress
men elect. And we feel sure now'of both
Houses of the Legislature. The American
majority in each House iwillInost likely be
threc-a majority of six on joint ballot
