THE Sort OF CANVASS WE ARE TO HAVE
The Southside Democrat thinks Mr.. Fill.
more was nominated to divide the vote OF
the South, and thus secure the election OF
the Black Republican candidate.
On the other side, the N. Y. Tribune
thinks he was nominated "as man who can
entice votes enough from the Republican
ranks in the Free States to give the election
to the Nebraska Democracy"
The Washington Union pronounces him
an abolitionist.
The Tribune says, "if he were elected he
would but prov" an inveterate enemy to
the cause and the friends of freedom"
Thus, remarks the Lynchburg Virginian, is
he to be subject to a cross fire of the extre-
msts and his national position enfiadcd by
the batteries of either section. In such a
condition he will be rallied round by the mid.
die men-the friends of the constitution and
the union, of every quarter Of the country
who, like the glorious Light Brigade at Ba.
lakava, will press onward between the opo
sing ranks unit! they have captured the guns
and broken the forces of their enemies.

MiIlard Fillmore for President and Andrew
]. Donelson for Vice President of the United
States, with the p!ofounoest appreciation, and
from their well known character for conscrv-
ative action and devotion to the constitution,
we feel renewed confidence in the perpetuity
of the Union.
ReSolred, That tho people of Tennessee
without distinction of party, who desire II
truly national administration of the Govern
ment are cordially invited and earnestly urg
ed to give their support to men who have
been so long tried and proven themselves so
eminenty worthy of public confidence.
Resolued, That in view of the difficulties
the country both at home and
abroad, we pledge our utmost exehions and
untiring energies to the success of this ticket,
feeling that the matters involved in the con-
test, are of gravor moment than the mere
success of party.
THE REAL lssUE.-The New York Herald
says:
"Some time ago we published from thq
Chicago Times, the confidential home organ
of Judge Douglas, an extract from an arli
Gle aulhoritatively and expressly withdraw
ING his name as candidate for the Cincinnati
democratic nomination. Now we have be-
fore us, in the Richmond (Va) Examiner, n
long letter from Mr.. James w. Singleton, of
Illinois, declaring that the friends of Judge
Douglas, nolens uoiens, will present his name
for the sulfrages Of the Cincinnati Conven-
tion. Very well. We apprehend, however
that, looking to the Importance of winning
back the backslidng anti Nebraska Van
Buren, soft shells Of New York, the Convcn-
ton will pass over all such offenders as Dick
inson, Cnss, Douglass and Bright; and that
on the other hand, with an eye to the rescue
of the wandering anti.administrution hards
from the camp of the Know Nothings, the
Convention will not offend with either Pierce
or Marcy. In l84S, the democracy under
took the election of their candidate without
New York. We presume they will not vii.
fully try the experiment again. New York Is
the real difficulty to be settled at Cincinnati
and no man mixed up with our hard aud soft
shell quarrel will do for New York. Mr..
Douglas, therefore, will not do. He will
have to wait yet little longer That's all.
We must take things as we find them, and
do the best we can"
