TENSEssEE.-Among all the States of the u
MON that have shown undertaking and often
selfsacrifcing attachment to Wing principles, the
State of Tennessee unquestionably ranks among
the very foremost When the whole Union
bowed the knee to the influence of Democratic
misrnle in the person of her own greatest son.
she placed herself in open opposition, and was
the pioneer in the great Wing reaction which
terminated in the election of Gen. Harrison;
and when again majority of her sister States
assisted in the elevation OF another of her sons,
James X. Polk, to the Presidency, she refused to
sanction the deed and cast her vote Tor the no
BILE standard bearer of the Wing party. With
such antecedsnts, we have anxiously watched
her course in the present aspect OF the country.
expression of genuine Whigfeellngs was there
if any where, to be looked for. Her movements
were difficult of discernment at first, for they
were made with the caution of a people who e1-
amined carefully before they determined-in
other words they were made as we would have
the Wing party move every where, deliberately
till judgement is attained, and then with mo-
mentum and overwhelming force until the work
is accomplished. Such is the aspect presented IN
Tennessee We have nowhere seen such eyl-
dences of enthusiasm as she now presents, and
we have seen enough to convince Us that the
following remarks of the Memphis Eagle are
not exaggerated. Not county meeting can
can be called within her borders that it does not
seem that the State had poured out the torrents
of her population. Five, ten, and twenty thou
sand are sorrowfully admitted by the Democrat
ic press to give earnest of the popularity OF
Fillmore and the speakers and movers at these
mass meetings are every where pointed at as the
head and front of the answering Wing party OF
the State. Thus speaks the Eagle:
''The cause Of 'Fillmore and the Union. Is
Frightening in every part of Tennessee. West
Tennessee is kindlng up; Middle Tennessee is
on fire; and East Tennessee is all ablaze. Fill

Mr. BUoHANAN's WITnDRAwAL.-The Courier
des Etats-Unis, whose politics are democratic,
contains the following remarkable article
A combination, the possibility of which we
have hitherto doubted, appears to be seriously
agitated in the councils of Democracy. They
talk of inducing Mr.. Buchanan to surrender his
candidacy in favor of Mr. Fillmore; the latter on
his part take Mr.. Breckenridge for Vice Presi-
dent and so fused to reunite the collective force OF
the Democrats, the Know Nothings and the
Fossilized Wings.
At the first glance such an alliance may ap-
pear impracticable, and we have all along so
considered it. But necessity has its hard laws,
to which the essential strength of parties con-
sists in knowing how to submit. We are far
from adopting the fattering illusions, which on
the heels of the Cincinnati Convention promised
Mr.. Buchanan an easy and intallible victory
His partizans may still affect confidence and boast
that they will certainly have asmaiority, but in
their heart they know perfectly what turn the
campaign is taking.
The Courier goes on at length to show the ut
ter hopelessness of Buchanan's election, and con-
cludes by saying that with Fillmore and Brock
inridge the nation would have lone of wisest
and firmest Administrations which has yet pre-
sided over its desfinieSn
