proud and glorious to the democracy and the States receive
Wise had large and decided majority in his favor he
stumped the State without opposition; he had the nd
vantages of the vote; while Johnson in Tenpes

express the disadvantages of what had been looked upon
settled of rotation the election of governor Am tbese

majority The people Of Tennessee still faithful to the
consttutonhey love it, and win rally to its defence
when assaulted"
We fully share the feeling Of joy so ardeny expressed
by our contemporary of the Advertiser over the brilliant
victory CALAMITY achieved by the and true
hearted democracy of Tennessee but at the same time
it should be remembered that Virginia was the frat State
breast what then appeared to be the overwhelming tide
of northern anacism Noby and successfully she turned
back the dark waters of abolionism and know-nobng
ism and noby and successfully have North Carolina Ten
