GRAND MASS MEEEING an HARRISON.

We learn from q gentleman who arrived this
morning from Chattanooga, that there was an i'm
mense turn out of the democracy and old line
wings at Harrison, on the occasion of the bar.
becue given at Harrison to Gov. Jones. The esti-
mated number present was about three thousand
Gov Jones it is said delivered most thrilling ad-
dress of about two hours, which was listened to
with marked attention. He fully satisfied al I'M
preudiced minds of the consistency of his present
position, with that occupied in common BY wings
and democrats up to the meeting of the PhiIadel-
phia know-nothing convention in February
Gov. Jones was succeeded upon the stand by
Gov. Matthew'S of Mississippi, in one of the best
speeches, says our informant, ever delivered in
Tennessee.
Col James A. Whiteside, one of the most dis
tinguished old line wings in Tennessee, was cho-
sen President of the meeting. He looks with con-
fdence for large gains to the national democratic

W The Abolition Journal st Louisville, Ken
lucky, is alarmed for the safety of the north in the
event that southern democrats should get control
of the government. 1t says of the democratic
party:
"Instesd of adopting in their platform something
that would tend to concihate the North, under It's
present sense of outrage in the a1anton disregard OF
the party pledge in the re-agitation of the slavery
question, they boldly attitude of defiance
against the north and threaten it Nth the acquisition
of Cuba"
Such is the language of Fillmore paper in the
south that has circulation of thousands in Ten
nessee. The New York Tribune and the vilest
sheets in the very midst of fsIaticsm never so
abused insulted and outraged the southern people
and southern institutions as has this incendisry
sheet and yet shareholders in Tennessee, from
mere partizsn bias, uphold and encourage its circu.
lstion in our midst.
He thinks it "boldly assuming an attitude of de-
fisnce sgsnst the north" in southern people to ia.
vor the acquisition of Cuba. And yet the same
dirty fellow has advocated, through bis abolition
columns, the acquisition of Canada.
He thinks the south SHOULD conciliate the north
under its present sense of outrage" while be him
self openly advocated the election of the black re-
publican candidate for Governor in Indiana, and
Joined with his abolition allies in their denuncs-
tons of southern ultrsism.
He thinks the south guilty Of "wanton disre.
gard of party pledges in the re-sgitation Of the
slavery question, and yet the very pen that writes
the SANDER, took ground before the canvass open
ed in favor of modifying the Fugitive slave law to
suit the north.
And this is the great organ of the Fillmore party
in the south, more extensively circulated in Ten
nessee than either of the Fillmore papers at their
own capitol. We blush even for our opponents in
the south that they should be 50 lost to their own
interest and honor.

The majority of Perry Democrat for Governor,
is 533 over Walker know nothing; that for
Hawkins Oem) for Congress, 964 over Baker.
The true test of the strength of the parties will be
found in the Congressional rather than in
the Gubernstorisl vote. Governor Perry, though,
gentleman thigh character, and by his frmness
and unhinching devotion to Southern Rights, Pc
cuisry suited for his post in these troublous times
was, when nominated, little known in the State,
and has been entirely prevented by i'll health from
engaging in the canvass. Precisely the reverse of
this was the fact in relation to his opponent.
On the other hand, the candidates for Congress-
csnvassed the State equally, with we should thiRls,
the balance of personal popularity in favor of Mr.
Baker. And yet he is defeated by nearly 1000
votes.
For the Office of Congressman, no man in Florida
has superior qualifications to those of Judge Haw-
kins, the member elect Foremost among these
we count his devotion to the South; next, his
ability to serve her; and third (perhsps it should
have been second his unquailipg hsroism. Though
New Yorker by birth. the South will have nc
more dauntless defender in the next Congress
than George 8. Hawkins We congratulate him

GOV. A. '. BROWN IN WEST TENNESSEE

The recent visit of Gov. BROWN to the Western
portion of the State is spoken of by our exchanges
from that section as eminently successful His
speeches are described as having embodied an
amount of fact force and earnest eloquence more
than equal to his distinguished character as states
man and an orator. We had laid aside for publ
cation an article from the Memphis Appeal refer
ring to the good results of Gov Browns labcrs in
that portion of the State, and highly euIogstc oil
the man. In the general confusion of the last few
days it has, very much to our regret, been mis-
placed.
Gov. Brown is now entering the evening oflifs,
having performed many and important services for
his country and his party. Msszursbly retired
from political strife, nothing could have induced
him to abandon that retirscy, neglect his private
engagements and forsaking home and family, ls-
Dor so sssduously in this canvass, but the full con-
seriousness of danger that surrounds u.s. and the
stern sense Of patriotism that has always sctusted
him.

H We would be glad if every southern man
who thinks of voting for Fillmore from honest
motives, would ask and answer himself this ques.
ton. Would it be better for the country to de.
feat an election before the people and throw into
the House, with its present homogeneous material
there to be gambled over, agree to the election
of Mr.. Buchanan
We connot believe that any sensible man of any
party in Tennessee could give but one answer. Tht
most wild and reckless will not contend now thai
there is any possibility of Mr.. Fimore's election
before the people. Therefore the only object ii
voting for him must be the hope of defeating ths
election of Mr.. Buchanan before the people snG
throwing it into the House, where be could gel
but three States out of the thirty.one Surely
none but the most!reckIess and desperate will I'D
here to such policy.
