Our friends in the adjoining coun-

as fast as possible. Our cotempora-
ries up and down the road will please
forward all the returns they receive,
whether good, bad, or indifferent,

We hope arrangements will be
made to have the returns in from
every civil district in this county, at
an early hour on the night of the
election. We feel that we are bound
to get our democratic friends in this
State the worst sort on the 4th-the

their present dreadful state of sus-

IMPORTANCE OF ONE VOTE

Daniel Morton was once elected
Governor of the large Commonwealth
of Massachusetts by majority of
one. One vote may determine the
result in this State, and upon the re-
suit in this State may depend the in
tegrity of our glorious Union. Let
every Fillmore man, every American,
every Patriot, bear that in mind, and
repair to the polls next Tuesday.
THE "NO-CHANCE" BOYS!
In almost every State in the Union
a few men have deserted Mr.. Fill
more on the plea of ''no chance. =
They tell you that he made a good
President, that he stood by the coun-
try in a dark hour, and brought it
safely through the perils and difficult
ties which surrounded it, and if they
thought he could be elected they
would cheerfully vote for him; but
there is ''no chance" Now amt
that pretty argument for white men!
What! desert a friend who stood by
us in our extremist peril, and whose
stout arm and great heart lifted us
out of our sorcst troubles, under the
cowardly and ungrateful plea that he
is now weak! If we do, may our
right hand forget its cunning andour
tongue cleave to the roof of our
mouth! We can respect and honor
an opponent who comes up face to
face and front to front, and fights like
a man for what he believes to be the
right-we honor his manliness while
we combat his errors-but for the
poor selfish devils who have deserted
under the poltroonish plea of mo
chance" they are down grovelling in
the deepest depths of political degra-
dation, and there let them stay
Thank God! there is not one of them
in McMinn county! "We had rather

ANOTHER DELTA IN THE FIELD-The
New Orleans True Delta is out in the arena,
and like its neighbor and namesake, strikes
some heavy blows Mt the Democracy. Here
is specimen. Good bye to the Democracy:
For number Of years past, every measure
brought forward in Congress for the aggran-
dizement of the North and the degradation
of Southern Interests has either arisen with
the Slave State men, or been successful
through their support; and if the record for
special legislation for individual interest be
examined at Washington, it will be found
that, in almost every solitary case, the chief
operators in their favor have come from this
the Southern section Of the confederacy.-
Take, for instance, the iniquitous and infa.
nous contracts for conveying the mail by
ocean steamships-contra which utterly
ruined the direct trade of the entire South
west with California, Central America and
the Pacific, and it will he found that they
never would have been sanctioned, if South
ern men, either from ignorance of their ma
ture, excess Of liberaity, or profligate disre.
gard for the true interests of the whole
country had not lent themselves to the de
signs OF their originators, and forced them ur-
on the nation. Stanton, of Tennessee, and
Rusk, of Texas, among many others were
chiefly conspicuous in their support of these
schemes TO deplete the Federal Treasury,
and place the South, bound Ike n slave, at
the feet Of its Northern rivals and enemies
To be sure, in all these cases, men destitute
of means, and notorious only for their per.
tinacious opportunities in the labors of Con-
gress, but claiming to be Southerners, were
put forward as the contractors with the Gov
eminent; but the bogus character of their
pretensons and measures were as well
known to their supporters as to the New
York spectators, whose tools they were,
and whose interests they were hired to nd.

What the Democratic committee clam, is
very different from saying what is the re-

A SPLENDID RESOLUTION

At a meeting Of the Fillmore Club al
North Madison, Indiana, the following
among other resolutions was enthusiastical-
" adopted:
RESOLVED, That feeling conscious that he
belongs to the great conservative party which
knows no North, no South, no East, no
| West, but one country, one and undivided,
we therefore declare to the world, sand the
rest of mankind" that we enter this contest
FOR FILLMORE WITHOUT the CUES
TON OF "EXPEDIENCY." We are for
him first, noe are for him last, and "sink or
sioiH," succeed or fail, ace are nolo, and toiH
be until the end Of h is struggle, for FILL.
MORE AND THE UNION.
How utterly these burning, heroic words
put to shame the faint-hearted cravens of the
South who have escaped into the Buchanan
camp under cover Of Mr.. Fillmores alleged
popular weakness. How high and glorious
they rise above the shril notes of faction ev.
erywhere. They thrill and kindle the soul
like the silver notes of bugle. All hail to
the Fillmore men of North Madison. Of
such is the party of the Union.
PENNsYLvASIA.-On Saturday last the
Fillmore and Donelson Executive Commit
tee of Pennsylvania adopted the following
resolutions bv vote of 20 to 7:
ResOlred, That we deem it inexpedient TO
make any alteration in the Fillmore and Dom
elson electoral ticket in this State, and we
are firmly convinced that any interference
with it would be the means Of giving the State
to Mr.. Buchanan instead of defeating him.
RESOLVED, That we decline 20 accept eth.
er of the propositions of the North Amer
lean State Central Committee, being satisfied
that the electoral ticket already in the field
is the only one on which all opposed to Mr..
Buchanan can successfully unite, and plrdg.
ing it to Incorporating opposition and 10
the defeat under any and oil circumstances
of his election.
This is convincing evidence Of their entire
confidence in their ability to carry the State
in November. We ask the people of the
South to see and admire the frmness and
consistency Of the Fillmore party in the
North in rejecting every proposition of the
Fremont men for fusion or coalition upon
any terms. We are now more than ever sat
isfied that Fillmore and Donelson will re.
ceive the electoral votes of the Keystone
State. We do not believe that the Demo-
Gratis will be able to poll anything like so
large vote in November as they did in the
recent State election, and since the abandon.
ment of the Fremont movement as hopeless,
we are confident that the vote for the Amer |
lean electoral ticket will be largely increased
over that given last week to the American
State ticket. Again we say to our friends
be Of good cheer, the skies are frightening.

cH-ln apubic speech delivered in Phil
adelphia in 1913, Gov. Jones held the fol.
lowing language:
But, sir, there is something more in the
Wing party than the mere profession OF It's
principles. There is enough-there is quite
enough in the principles OF the Wing party
to elicit my admiration and to command my
affection. Take them as they have been
presented to us by our fathers, and they
stand out in bold relief, bearing upon their
front the impress Of experience, of wisdom
and Of age. But, sirs, suppose all these
were to pass away, every solitary doctrine
] mean SO far as the expediency is concerned
still, sir, permit me to say there is nm i'm
passablc gulf between the Wing and the De-
mocratic party. say sirs, strike out all the
doc.,ines Of the Wing party-strike out the
Tariff and insert in its place the destructive
doctrine of Free 1'rade-strike out the Ma.
tional currency and institute in lis place the
Sub Treasury-stil the gulf remains.
All! Governor! An impossible gulf be
tween the wing and democratic partiesl How
in the devil did you manage to'get orer'
