The Knoxville Register of last Thursday

The Knoxville Register of last Thursday
says:
On Tuesday, Geo. Brown, Esq, Of Jacksonville,
who was a Wing elector in 1862, addressed a
large number o { the people, in behalf of Fillmore
and Donelson. Col Browns speech was an i'm
promptu one, yet made up of strong points, clear
" and iorcibly presented. He gave Old Buck a
number of crushing blows and clearly indicated
the character OF Willard Fillmore as an honest pa
triot. and trust worthy, Union loving Statesman.
and most effectually ridiculed the idea that there
is no chance to elect him. His speech produced a
fine effect and was received with much applause
On Wednesday evening, Col. B. T. Staples, OF
Morgan, arrived in town, fresh from the dews OF
the mountains A very respectable audience i'm
medately pressed him into the service. and he ia
yored us with an excellent little Fillmore speech
enlivened by repeated draughts, upon his never.
falling fund of anecdotes. Col. S, is q man Of
strong, native intellect, well fortified with political
knowledge, and witha gifted, as 'stumper" We
predict that be will do yeoman service for the cause
in mountains
There were several other demonstrations of mi
nor importance during our stay, but We have
neither time, space, nor inclination to enter fur
ther into detail
1t is enough to say that the cause Of Fillmore is
all right, and more than right, in ROsne. We
were assured by well informed men from all por
tions of the county that Fillmore will gain from
one to two hnndred on Genty's majority, and the
signs that came under our own observation warrant
us in claiming much.

ou.,om.Hou.e i'm Nashville.

A Joint resolution for the enlargement
of certain custom houses, with an amend
ment making an appropriation for Gus
tom house at Nashville, was before the
House of Representatives on the 9Th inst.
1t created considerable debate. Our Re-
preventative spoke in explanation of the
appropriation for Nashville. We copy
from the Congressional Globe:
Mr. ZOLLICOFFER. Mr.. Speaker, did not
intend to say anything in reference to the amend
ment offered by the chairman of the Committee on
Commerce. but the question having been asked,
whether the items of the committees amendment
recommended by the Secretary OF the Treasu-
~, desire to state few facts in connection with
one item, in which have an interest. There is
appropriation for the construct ion OF custom
house at Nashville, Tennessee. | have ascertained
that collecting at that port a larger revenue
than is collected at more than one bali OF the ports
of entry or delivery at which customlhouses have
been built by the Government. The item for
Nashville has been recommended by the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury. 1t has been recommended by
the Committee on Commerce. bill proposing TO
| appropriate, in accordance with the recommends
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury, money for
the building of custom-house at Nashville, has
been in the Committee of the Whole on the state
ofthe Union for months aud probably it will
not be reached for months to come. The Secretary,
in his official statement says that our revenue for
the last five years has averaged $4,000 year
Last year the net revenue collected was $39 600;
The collected there is larger than that COLI
lected at Louisville; larger than that collected
at Pittsburg larger than that collected Wheel
ing, Virginia, or Wilmington, North Caro-
lima, or at New Bedford Massachusetts,, or at va
rious other places in Massachusetts,; larger than
that collected at twenty ~eght different points at
which custom houses have been built for years by
the Government. We have never before asked for
a custom-house. Our revenue is large now, aud
it is steadily increasing; and have doubt that,
by the time the custOm-house is constructed, il
will be double what it is at present Our city is
growing faster than ever before. Its, in my judg'
ment deserving the action OF Congress 1t
has all the recommendations asked for by the gen
tleman from Virginia.
The subject was referred to the Com
mittee Of the Whole.
Gen. ZollicOffer's separate bill for
the Nashville cuStom-house before the II.
of r., it is thought will pass, should
the measure referred to the Committee OF
the Whole fail.

Martin Van Buren, and Jas. buchanan.

Mr.. Van Buren, has written strong
letter to the Tammany Society, in favor OF
Mr.. Buchanan The following passage
from it, unintentionally no doubt, rapS old
Buck over the knuckIes-
Almost undided By It's political rival IL carried
country through tie Of 1912, the results OF
which contributed more to elevate our National
character and to increase power, than any other
measure or series Of measures since the recogni-
ton of our Independence. II has after protract
ed aud severe struggle TeiieUed the country from the
incubus of National Banks, but forever exploded
the idea of the necessity Of such Institutions, and
established constitutional system for the safe keep
ing of public moneys, and the performance of dus
ties for which National Bank was claimed to be
Indispensable; this system, after haviRg been the
leading object Of the fercest partisan assaults hav
ing by its salutary action won not merely the ac-
quiescence, but the positive favor of all parties, a
result which it may with truth he said has not been
realized by any other public measure that encou1J
tered similar partisan hostility since the adoption OF
the Constitution.
Can it be that Mr.. Van Buren, had in
his minds eye Mr.. Buchanans denuncia-
tions Of the democratic party, whilst he
was federalist, and his opposition to the
war? Could he have had before him, Mr..
Buchanan's Lancaster Grafton, in which
occurs the following passage
"Time will not allow me to enumerate all the
other WILD and WICKED projects of tie Democratic
Administration. Suffice it to say that after they
had deprived US of the means OF defence, By deS-
troying our naUy and diS6anding army; after
they had taken away from Us the power Of recruit
ing them, by running commerce, the great source
of our national and individual wealth; after they
had, by refusing the Bank of the United States a
continuance of its charter embarrassed the financial
concerns of the government, and withdrawn the
universal paper medium Of the country from circtt-
idton; after the people had become accustomed to,

WING Movement in Rutherford.

We find the following call for meeting
of the Wings of Rutherford, in the last
Murfreesboro' Telegraph:
TOTHE WIGS OF RUTHERFORD COUxTY.-Since
the last Presidential election there has been an
almost entire disorganzatOn of the political
parties which existed at time. Two new parties
have been organized. one called the American
party, composed of men, some of whom were
Wings and some Democrats. This party have
nominated Mr.. Fillmore as their candidate for
the Presidency.
The other, called the Republican party,
composed of Northern men who formerly acted
with all the old parties and with the factions of
parties, and bound together by one sentiment,
viz: opposition to the extension of slavery
have nominated Mr.. Fremont as their candidate.
The Democratic party still anxious to preserve
their organization, have lately held convention
in Cincinnati and nominated Mr.. Buchanan as
their candidate.
As yet the Wings, although they have had
meetings in several places and conventions in
some, have not agreed whether they will nOmi-
nate a candidate at all, nor indeed have they de-
termned what course under existing circumstan-
ces is best for them to pursue.
The undersigned, members of the Wing party,
having never attached themselves to any other
political party-standing on the principles of
the Wing party as laid down and enforced by its
illustriOus leaders, Clay and Webster-and stand
ing on the Compromise of 1850, and the Wing
Platform Of 1852, as adopted by our party in Ma
tiOnal COnvention-and wishing to pursue that
course in the present Presidential canvass which
will promote the common good of our common
country, do most earnestly and respectfully re-
quest our Wing fellow-citzens of Rutherford
county to meet us in MurfreesborO' on Saturday,
the 18th inst at II o'clock, NJ, in the Tenn
peTance Hail. over the Court Room, in order
that we may have free interchange Of opinions,
and determine what we may do to preserve the
peace and prosperity of our beloved country and
perpetuate the blessings Of our glorious Union.

are pretty equally divided between Buchanan and
Fremont, with few of them for Fillmore The
American party, which in this neighborhood con>
sttutes large majority over all others is mostly
for Fillmore.

that twenty old line Wings in the county will vote

Fillmore is TO be elected.

iellliAe a wet blanket upon all Americans of abol-

doubt whether he gets clear majority in any
county in Western Pennsylvania. In the town

hundred voters, am told by men who acquain

careful remuneration has been made by several OF

will be divided between Fillmore and Fremont.
