This was said with countenance indicative Of

He makes 10 DESTINATIONS show. He dwels in a
plain white farm house. He is well of, and con-

"Lean JimnlY.''

Efr We see it stated that Senator Jones Of Ten
nessee intends taking the stump 10 the State for
Buchanan and Breckenridge. We sincerely hope,
that if he does, Gen. Haskell will be pitted against
him by the American party. Jones's bones would
ache twenty.four hours after every encounter, aud
he would soon run.
Senator Jones announced before Mr. Fimore's
nomination, his fixed resolution not to support him
il nominated. The reason he assigned was that Mr.
Fillmore, when President, had declined making
certain appointments in Tennessee pressed By him
IL seems that Fillmore not under Jones's con-
troll and probably had no great confidence in him.
Mr.. Fillmore was honest aud sagaeiOus and dis
charged his duties according 10 bis own ideas OF
what was right That's the sort of man the nation
wants, but the sort of man that james c. Jones
doesn't want.
Mr. Jones rendered some good political service in
his day, but we do not now thank him for it. Hii
treachery is an Offset to all the good he ever did,
Lou. Jour.
We asure our contemporary that il Gov. Jones at
tempts to canvass this State, he will be met
We argree with hint hat no man could more success

Maynard and Polk at Chattanooga

Mr.. Maynard, both in his leading speech and
reionder, made powerful and telling efforts
His Introduction was happily conceived and
happily expressed. His picture of the division
and tendencies of the political parties in the
country was truthful and graphic. His review
of the life and record of James Buchanan was
whitening. His expose of the Convention that
nominated him, and of the material, and Of
the acts of the party supporting him, was
thorough and such Is no man can gsinsay.
His defense and laudation OF Mr.. Fillmore was
mastery. In word, the speech was a re-
markable condensation and combination of
logic and eloquenoe, replete with facts that
will be treasured up for many days hence by
his hearers, and with appeals that nerved the
hearts of every American and Wing present,
for holder struggle in behalf of our noble
chieftain. He sustained himself throughout
the debate, and more than gratted his friends,
who were rejoiced to find that our flag had
been committed TO hands so able to bear 1t in
triumph throughout the State.
Mai. Polk made failure; and when we say
failure, we mean what we say, and say what
his most enthusiastic friends will hardly con-
tradict. He failed both in his leading speech
and in his reioinder. He failed, utterly failed
TO meet the argument of Mr.. Maynard. He
disappointed, sorely disappointed his friends,
and disappointed the expectations OF bis po-
litical foes His speech was a failure at the
beginning, at the middle, and at the close. He
was lame, exceedingly lame in argument, i'm
potent in appeal, evidently not well posted
and successful in nothing save mimicry, while
IN every sally Of wit, he was certain 10 get

safe for the disparity. We do not think there
was ever a greater disparity between speakers
OF their rank in any canvass 10 the State, un-
less II was when Haskell led 10. Guild the tour
Of the State. We hope, however, Maj. Polk
will improve. We would regret TO see Mr..

Mass Meeting i'm Knoxville.

There is to be Mass Meeting at Knox
vile on the 4th Of next month. The Knox
vile Wig speaks of it as follows:
The rally in Knoxville on the 4th of SepE
TENDER, bids fair TO be one of the most extern
sive and grand affairs of the kind that ever
came off in East Tennessee. We have mo-
idea that the streets of the city will hold the
people, and allow of persons passing.
As long as the houses, porches, and back
yards in our city will accommodate, we will
all take in, but those who must be forced to
occupy the vacant lots, surrounding hills and
hollows would do well to come prepared with
tent cloths, wagons, blankets and umbrellas.
We shall have enough to give all one hearty
meal, which will enable them TO 60 through
the night, speaking and cheering.
The railroads above aud below will bring
and return Delegates at half price.
We hear of many persons in counties on
the line of the Chattanooga Railroad who
desire to attend the above meeting; and
we hope our friends of the Chattanooga
Railroad will make arrangements to &C
commodate them.

Texas is bounded on the North By New Mexico
and the Indian Territory from the latter il is sepa.

Territory, Arkansas, and Louisiana. On the South
by the Gulf of Mexico and the Rio Grande, which
separates it from the Mexican provinces of New

During the first third of the present century, il
was one OF the dependencies Of the vast Republic
OF Mexico. Under Mexican administration the
whole upper country was hardly more than one
magnificent wilderness. The indigenous wander.

enjoyed without reservation the range OF the prai-

herd have disappeared before the hand OF cultiva-

The Mass Meeting at HartsviIIe.

The meeting at Huntsville last Saturday
was attended, we learn, by between $500
and 5000 persons. 1t was held in beau
tiful grove, and the day was remarkably
pleasant The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed Able speeches were made by Hon.
w. BARROW, l.. Z. TEMPLE, ESQ, and W.
G.. BR1EN, Esq. The speeches, though
long, were listened to patiently and with
the utmost satisfaction. Indeed, the peo-
pie seemed willing to endure any fatigue to
hear the cause of Fillmore and DonelSon
advocated as these gentlemen advocated it.
At night, W. G. BRIEN made a second
speech We are much grati6ed to learn
that our friends in that section are in the
finest spirits, and that the prospect is fair
for an increased vote for the American
ticket

Maynard and Polk mt Brady.

sB friend sends US the following brief ac-
count of the speaking at Cleveland, on Tuesday:
CLEvELAND, Aug l3, 1886.
EDITOR Posr:-Never in the history Of political
discussions, has SO complete, so overwhelming, so
crushing victory been achieved, as that of Mayr
nasd over Polk at this place yesterday. The cau-
did of the opposition frankly concede it, while the
crest fallen aud woe~begone faces OF those not so
candid, betrayed il in unmistakable terms. The
Fillmore men are in ecstacies, and look uuon the
brilliAncy Of the victory bow of promise for the
future success Of the great cause Of which that
great man is the exponent and representative.
Amongst the many able men of Tennessee put
down Horace Maynard in the front rank His com.
petitor Col Polk, is q mrn OF ability "and the re-
preventative of great nams"-but he was so far
ecpsed in the discussion that his friends nor his
political opponents could not well appreciate him

Mr.. Fillmore I'm MONTGOMERY, Ala.

The Editor of the Columbus Enquirer, says:-
1--WE heard Mr.. Fillmore say at Montgomery, Ala,
10 1884, that the night succeeding the death of
Gen. Taylor, when he found that he was called to
assume the Presidency was the only night OF his
life that he had ever passed without sleep"-thst he
spent the most of il in prayer for ability and
strength to uphold and defend the constitution {
his country and that he inwsrdy resolved, on that
occasion, to throw away prejudice and sectional
feeling, aud TO act as became the conscientious ru-
Ter Of great nation. We regret that we have been
disappointed in our efforts TO obt.in sketch Of th
entire speech; but the following extract from it
which we have at hand, attests the patriotism Of
his resolution on that me morable night
"During its troubles and anxiety, | nwardy re-
