A VOICE FROM EAST TENNESSEE.


To tie Editors Of the Patriot:-You may suppose
from the parade that is being made o: the names Of
John H. Crozier William G. Swan, Geo Washingto
Maybry and John r. Nelson, as supporters of Buchn
anan that there may exist detection in this cOun
ty. If SO, dispe the delusion. Neither Of the above
gentlemen voted for COL Gentry last S'namer-they
were all against US then, and carried the county
by eighteen hundred and sixty-6ve, Qs65), the
largest majority that bad ever before been given
If that fact does not speak enough for the effect that
their action will have upon the result. will inform
you, that at the next election, we confidently exs
pect to give FILLMORE majority of 1000 votes in
old Knox, and We will do it, Let our friends in
Middle and West Tennessee be of good cheer and
have no fears as to the result in East Tennessee;
for as we surprised you in the last election by our
overwhelming gains, we will increase that surprise
and astonishment in November As we approach
the election day we already hear the dying groans
OF Sag nichtism. There may be, here and there,
few partizans-poliy.ticiGns who will desert and
abandon the noble standard of the great and good
FILLMORE and go over to Old Buck; but the peoDle
the honest yeonanry of East Tennessee will give
Mr.. Fillmore such vote will make every Judas
think that surely locotocoism has transformed him
into acknowledgements. Where one politician goes
over to old Buck there will be scores OF the honest
masses-the solid, patriotic people of the country
that will leave old Buck aud go for Fillmore. The
people in East Tennessee understand something of
the tricks of politicians and when they make moves
the people generally keep an eye upon them and
frequently know great deal more about their &C
tions than these politicians would suppose! Our
people are not so easily hood winked as "some
folks" would thuk, and they will find it so in next
November. We all, up here, have heard that
Martin Van Buren, and his son John and Old Tom
Benton, and many other such dangerous and ntrig
uing enemies OF the south, have gone over to Mr..
Buchanan, and that fact naturally fixes little sus
picion upon Southern politicians who have done and
may do the same thing, There must be something
extremely "rotten" about Wheatland or old Tom
Benton, Martin Van Buren, and John Van Buren,,
aud their coniederates would not have declared for
old Buck and if there is any thing urong in old
Tom Benton and the Van Burens going over to him,
the same thing may have Influenced some of the
Southern friends in the same way Who knowsI
Hold your own in Middle and West Tennessee,
and we will give the antics fits in this section.
"Tend to your corner" and depend upon it, we will
bring up ours There has never been better feel.
ing or higher hopes pervading the people in East
Tennessee than there is at this time. We are all
in high hopes of Mr.. FillmOres election, and will
leave no stone unturned in bringing about that au-
spicOus result And this state of feeling exists
throughout East Tennessee. The people are alive
wild with enthusiasm, such as has never been seen
since lS40 Depend upon it, all is well in the East.
