MKssRs EDIroRs:-There has never been a time
since the organization of parties in this State when
the hardy Sous OF East Tennessee were so entbusi-
asticaly aroused in behalf of one mans is
now manifested in every portion of our proud d.
vision of the State in favor of Mr.. FILLMORE. The
mountains are on fire. The PEOPLE awake,
and when East Tennessee becomes aroused and
puts forth an effort, she generally accomplisbes
her purposes. We are resolved upon giving Mr..
Fillmore in this election, the largest majority that
any other man has ever received from this division
Of the State the boasts of the UiOn and American
to the contrary notwithstanding. There is not a
county in East Tennessee where Mr.. Fillmore will
lose vote upon Gentrys vote last election and in
nearly every county we will make handsome, aud
in some instances, heavy gains. When say this
speak by the card; and you may rely upon it as
confidently upon any statement that can be
derived from the most authentic and reliable sour
ces in every county in East Tennessee. At one
time had fears of losing in Jefferson, but now
we will not only hold Gentry's vote for Fillmore,
but make handsome gain. Watkins will not carry
off as many votes this time as he caused to be
traded off to secure his election last year
He is emphatically dead cock in the pit. In this
county we will run Fillmores majority up to 1000.
There is not dozen men in the county who voted
for Gentry that will not support FlmOre and there
are many old line wings, some OF whom didn't vote
while others voted for johnson, together with
81 hn tod lob
son, who will support Mr.. Fillmore. OF all
the names the democracy parade as deserters from
the wing ranks to their party, there is but one in
this county who did vote for Johnson, and that
one, John H. Crozier, would not vote at all
couldn't swallow johnson and wouldn't support
Gentry. W. G. Swan has been democrat ever
since 1851 when he was elected by coalition with
the democracy OF the Legislature, Attorney Gener-
al for the State; and since that time be has rarely
ever given a whig vote. 10 place ofSwan we have
Jake Uoyle, of Monroe, formerly democratic State
Senator who wielJs twenty times the influence Of
Swan; and John Dozier Of this place as an Offset
against John Crozier.
The singular phenomenon has Of late been pre-
sented throughout East Tennessee Of individuals
who we're never known TO have five dollars at one
time, being amply supplied with money to bet on
the election. Where did all this money come from?
Certainly not from the persons who propose to bet
il, for II is known they neither have the money ncr
the means Of getting it, unless it is the peoples
| money! "Whdt has been done pib tie Bank of
7snnesscsl"-or the peoples money in the Treasury
at Washington One Of them has suffered, for
there have been no fires" or burglaries committed
in this section, and from some Of these sources the
money must have come. Do the democrats think
they can practice such high handed game as this
without being detected by the honest and intelli
| gent people of tennessee! II so, they win 6od
themselves mistaken. With all their "Government
money" and paid emissaries, we will beat them
10 badly in Tennessee, and then ;he-e viii have to
be reckoning up with the "Bauk," or at the
Treasury Department.

! The democrats have never resorted to worse
means to humbug and deceive the people than have
been employed In this canvass. Outside Of their
backing from the peoples money, they have re
sorted to every means within the power OF a des.
pairing party 10 make votes IN East Tennessee.
