EDITOR TRUE DEMOCRAT

The political breeze that has been blowing through the State, for the last few months, has subsded into perfect calm in this county. Democracy is decidedly in the ascendency here, and will give much larger majority, at the next electon than she has heretofore done. Know Nottingham, though not entirely delunct, (for believe they claim four members in this county,)i is on the wane- its star is paling. These four deluded follow CTS of this bastard son of tyranny, are becoming disheartened, and think they will soon tear from 1t the veil which conceals its hideous de- iormity, and proclaim it to the world as base cheat, by their actions if not words.)
 I see in the Know Nothing organ published in yoar city by Turner j. Change, letter writ ten from this county over the signature of Bolivar" in which he pretends to describe the proceedings of democratic meeting held at Lebanon, on the 17th day of November, and in doing So, avoids the truth as much as possi- ble, This Col. Bolivar is deceptious "old coon," and portends to be very cunning; but the ring shows very plainly on his tail yet. He can 'play on a harp of thousand strings" but perfect on none. He can put on as many faces chameleon can change colors; and use as much deception as kitchen fste He has been the leader of the whig party in this coun- ty for several years, and is now become Colo nel of the little Know Nothing guard The Colonel, in order to make preparation for the charge, went over into an adjoining county, joined the corps, gathered all the instructions he could from head quarters, came home, armed and equipped ond sent out a substitute, (known among us as Dr. Fissa.) to the proper source to obtain charter; after organising, and sitting together in holy places, (around in that elder thicket,) they concluded to send out spy, and unanimously chose Dr. Fis<a, who, after re- ceiving letters of dispatch, proceeded on his mission. lis intense American feelng" I suppose, prompted him to action; but like the Yankee who, at the battle of Yorktown, run seventy miles without looking back, and swore that he had never been there, the Doctor, at his first public lecture, got so defeated, demolished and discouraged, that he has not been heard of since professionally, and suppose would deny ever being there. So the rank of the file be- ing defeated, and there being no spy in the field on the 17th of November, 1855, the day appointed for the democratic meeting. Colonel Bolivar came out merely as spectator (beino apprised that he was not able to defend him. self,) at which time he took the notes for his letter which he sent to Turner and Chance He states, in his letter, that, on motion of the resolutions, the American party came in for it. usual share of eplthets. So it did, and it came in without leave, license or invitation. and im- posed themselves upon the meeting.
 think there were four "noes'' on the final passage of the resolutions, and those four con. stitute the little Know Nothing banditti oftbe county. Colonel Bolivar speaks of the chair. man of the meeting and some of the sneakers being pretermitted in this county. He. him. self, is the hero of nearly one dozen defeats. he has been an aspra2t in this county for if, teen or sixteen years; when there is anotbar candidate spoken of on their side, than him, self, he nearly takes spasms. He can stand being defeated, but he cannot bear tho ;doo of being put down. When Colonel Bolivar first became m asplrant in this county, he told his fellow citizens that he had served the neonle of Tennessee, Gas much as to say that they ought to support him. but, to my great sur prlse, when came to find out, he had served the people of Tennessee, sure enough-he had been a fourth corporal.
