After csImn survey Of the last four years, and

not the zeal Of party, and the ambition OF dema'
gogues do?
The democratic party in 1853 took the reins of
Government when our people were prosperous,
eon:ented and bappy-they have in the short Pc
Rod of less than fo1r years managed to produce
confusion and civil war. They have been manu-

they ask US in the face of day and THESE facts to

Correspondence OF the NashVllle PATRIOT
GAILATIN, Oct. 81, 1856.
Sumner is all in a blaze to-day. Maynard
was here and had many of the Saints as well
as a respectable number of Buccaneers to hear
him. COL Guild asked for division of time
and of course it was acceeded by the brave
and noble chevalier. But the wisdom, the
logic, the practiced debate Of the Colonel could
not win in a race with this invincible knight.
The undeniable truth is, Maynard is an intel
lectuai wonder. In every branch of oratory
he displays prodigous powers The clear con-
ception outrunning the deductions of logic, the
high purpose, the dauntless spirit speaking on
the tongue, beamBg from the eye, informing
every feature, urging the whole man onward,
right onward to his object-this, this is the elo-
quence Of Maynard.
In ten minutes time be had the enchanted
crowd emparad cd within the circld f his win
ing orstory. No man, be be saint or devil, can
quit the sound Of bis voice. For two hours be
spoke with force, earnestness and ability
which / never heard surpassed by any popular
orator. Shrek after shrek followed his light
ming speeded blows, until / actually began to
fear that our distinguished countryman would
lose his spirit, and retire from the field; but he
was ensnared in a manner he could not escape.
lie was forced to speak or surrender, which of
course q man of his reputation could not do.
The Colonel made better effort than looked
for under the circumstances. An apology
should in kindness be offered for him, as be has
not been in the canvass, and is but badly pos
ted on issues in the canvass. Maynard, acoor-
ding to the prescribed rules of the discussion,
was entitled to the reply. He came with the
mighty sweep of a Mastadon, and literally
obliterated Guild. For PHYS sake ! would
forbear the recital. I'll declare to you, sir,
would not have been in bis shoes for the Mari
pOsa grant. Guild paraded the sOphisticsl,
meaninlness, senseless slang whang about Mr..
Fillmore's having no chance. Maynard show
ed him from his own calculations that Buch-
anan could not be elected That the Pennsyl
vania elections, if they had gone at all for the
B. party, it was by slight majority, obtain
ed by the most painful exertions, combining
fraud and every other possible corruption at
the polls; this be said was sufficient to satisfy
the minds of every candid, thinking man that
if his prospects for carrying this State were
not entirel.- hopeless, that at least Mr.. Buch
anan's chances for carrying it were not a hum
dredth part as good as Mr.. Filmore's for car
rying New York This lie said was sufficient
reason to induce every Southern man to vote
for Fillmore.
| write this out of sheer justice to a man
whom / regard as the brightest ornament of
our party. Ny earnest prayer is that the good
work may go on everywhere as it has done
here to-day until the 4th of November.

GREAT, GRAND, GLORIOUS!!
Nashville all AbIaZe!!

The unninchiug Americans Of Nashville
and Davidson county are thoroughly
aroused. Never wer9 men wider awake
or more determined in their efforts to ad-
vance the cause Of their Country. Yester-
day they gave the highest evidence Of their
spirit and zeal. Upon few hours notice
they rallied in immense force for the pur-
pose of meeting and escorting into the city
our Military companies on their return
from Murfreesboro. Although disappoint-
ed by the non-arrival of the cars at the
proper hour, they formed in procession and
moved through the principal streets, cheer
ed on by the loud huzzas Of the multitudes
on the side walks.
A procession so large, got up on so short
a notice, was never seen in Nashville. 1t
fairly eclipsed the demonstration of the
democracy the day previous, who had all
the advantage of the presence of a large
number of strangers, time, &c. 1t was a
brilliant home affair, striking terror to the
enemies of American principles, the Con-
stitution and the Union. A young friend
of ours, posted on Church street, says it
was one hour passing the third Presbyterian
Church, and he counted as many as tho
hundred and fifty Uelicles, carriages, bug
gies, &c, in addition to the immense num-
Der Of horsemen and gentlemen on foot.
Had not the cars been delayed, the pro-
cession would have been sweled consider
ably by the military companies, and ciLi-
zens of Rutherford who came down with
them. But, as it was, the demonstration
was the most effective known to the politi-
cal annals of Tennessee. 1t is an earnest
of the gallant, glorious fight which the
Americans are resolved TO make till the sun
goes down on the 4th Of November We
record il as a sure presage Of brilliant
triumph. We tell our friends all over the
State, that the Capital city and county are
all on lire-that our Americans are joyous,
exultant eager for the fray, and confident
of victory!
After supper, one Of the largest meetings
of the campaign took place at the pole,
where able and stirring speeches were
made by Messrs. Netherland, of East Ten
nessee, Gollady, of Wilson, the peerless
Henry, Webster, of Coffee. Gen. Barrow,
and Bilbo, two stands being occupied.
Every thing went off in the most spirited
manner

Tribute of Respect.

The Calliopean Society having learned OF the
death OF Mr. CHARLES E. READY, formerly mem
Der of that Society, a meeting was called, and
Messrs. E. S Hammond, T. R. King and Joseph
a. Ryland were appointed a committee to draft
resolutions in consideration OF his death.
whereupon, the following resolutions were re-
ported and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAs, Il has pleased an All-wise and over.
ruling Providence to take from our midst, our be.
loved brother and cherished friend CHARLES READY,
in the very vigor Of manhood, just at time when
bis future looked brightest, and career Of honor,
usefulness and prosperity seemed marked out for
him. Therefore,
Resolved, That, though We have been deeply be.
reaved and sfflicted by bis DEATH yet We must bow
ia meek resignation TO the will Of Him who holds
the destiny Of all in his hands, and orders every
thing for the best.
Resolved, That by bis death we have been de.
prived Of beloved friend, and one to whom we
are indebted, Of the founders of our Society,
for many Of the benefits We enjoy, and that the
community has lost one OF its brightest ornaments.
Resolved, That we deeply and sincerely sympa.
thizs with the bereAved parents and relatives Of The
deceased, who have lost duiiful son, and kind
and atfectionate brother.
Resolved. That In further testimony Of our sym
patty and regard, We wear the usual badge Of
mourning for thirty days
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolutions be
sent to the bersaved parents and relatives Of the de-
ceased, aud that we request the Rutherford TEE.

MEssRs. EDIroRs:-We had the pleasure OF lis
tening to a speech last night from your talented
and eloquent young citizen, win. G Brien, and
can assure you he made most beautiful speech
and highly delighted his audience.
His speech abounded with good reason, profound
logic and occasional bursts Of most thrilling elo-
quence in thoughts that breathed and words that
burned, " nterspersed throughout with occasional
sallies of poetic strains. His speech and the man
ner of presenting his subject admirably adapt
ed 70 the feelings Of bs Misunderstanding it in
raptures of delight throughout the entire time, and
the only regrets seemed to be that be did not
speak longer.
Will is winning for himself many laurels in West
Tennessee, and worthy, too. is he to wear thsm.
The democracy with the "disunion sentiments" and
''broken pledges" receive a scathing rebuke and
severe castigation from him wherever he goes. The
American party is in high spirits here and we will
make Il handsome gain.

therefore make this one short. Yours,

BIT L. VIRGINIA YRExcH.

Breathe calm my heart
All Nature lies before thee in repose;
Breathe calm, and drink into thy troubled founts
The sleep that lies upon the dreamy hills.
The air is q II imbued with amber light,
That falling like veil upon the hills
softens their rugged outlines setting down
Into the dT,sky hooks, it upward CLEANS
Like mellow golden wine in gobets dark,
Where drank the gods Of Ed.
Now all around
There lies a stiffness so intense. we seem
To hear the secret throbs of Natures heart;
And. list the last, low-whiIpering farewells
OF summers faded flowers. And can it be?
rs this the summers grave? A little mound
OF fragrant turf besprinkled DER with blooms,
The last and loveliest of their gentle race;
Rich garlands too, of many-tinted leaves;
And butterflies that lie amid the wreaths,
More gorgeous than the flowers, but lifeless all,
And mOtionless, save as the passing breeze
Lifts up their starry wings.
The Southern hill
Has donned his panoply of brown and gold,
And on his head the tall and plumy pines
Are waving like the proud and stately crest
OF some great conqueror. The sycamore
Sends up his graceful shaft in silver sheen;
The oaktree BRUSHES in his robes Of brown
The maple throwing of his crimson garb,
Stands forth with bare and duplicating arms,
Like some old monarch stricken in his pride
And penitent at last. Alone are left
The cedar with its pyramid Of green,
And shining laurel creeping DER the rocks,
As if to cover with a cheerful smile
Their desolated forms. Brown, withered leaves
Fast falling form a carpet crisp and sere,
On which the little squirrels tiny tread
Sounds loudly; and as falls the gentle rain
Slow dropping the surface of the pool,
The ripe nuts patter down. The river flows
Still singing cheerily, low-gliding Ger
The long moss in its path; the mountain rill
Comes stealing on with silvery laughter down
The grim and gloomy gorges:-but the birds,
Have left us for brighter, SUMMER cline,
And only here and there we hear note
From some lght-hearted laggard 10th to leave
His long accustomed haunts. Then let us keep
Their blithe and tuneful lays within our hearts,
Let smiles be sunshine and good feelings flowers,
Till summer comes again.
