THE CANVASS.

friend writes us from Clinton, the lOth, glow
ing description Of the triumph Of Gen. Harris a.
that place, and concludes his letter as follows:
"I am citizen of East Tennessee, and cannot
conclude this letter without calling on our East
Tennessee friends what zoe ought 10 40 ana Ichdt
aCs must do and 10 chat Middle and West Tonnes
see friends ought TO expect US to DO. We haVe gallant
standard bearer who is fighting our battle nooiy anu
gallantly-he has sustained our principles ably In
every county he has spoken in--he has labored and
toiled all summer in defending and advocating the
principles of our party for us-he Is an able man
and ripe statesman-heis in every respect worthy
of our confidence and enthusiastic support. Mid
die and West Tennessee has on former occasions
fought nobly for our Governor johnson, by giving
him considerable gains-we owe our brethren across
the mountains debt for past favors and services
Il when we needed them.) We now have an oppor-
tunity of paying that debt by giving our noble
standard bearer an increased vote IN East Tennes-
see say to our East Tennessee friends, we must
not only now pay that debt but we can and viii pay
it with compound interest. By q united effort Of
our friends in East Tennessee we can give Gen.
Harris majority in this portion of the State which
will give him majority of ten thousand at least in
the Sate-then all the three divisions of the State
will be democratic. 1t is but few weeks until the
election, and let go to work, and let every man
do his whole duty from now until the 9th OF August
l understand the Kncx county democrats have
beautiful flag that they intend to present to the
county in East Tennessee, that will give Gen. Har
ris the greatest gain over Buchanan's vote. Let
every county in East Tennessee fight hard for the
beautiful banner. Wallace, our candidate for Con-
gress is doing first rate" Yours truly, z.
We have letter from JacksbOrO, the 9th, from
which we extract the following:
"Col Hatton did not fully meet the expectations
of his party. The various newspaper reports of
his skill in debate, had induced them to expect too
much for him to come up to, in discussion with
Gen. Harris. In fact it is not seriously commended
by great number of Mr.. Hatton's friends in East
Tennessee that he can be elected Governor over
Gen. Harris.
The democracy though MOI excited are jealous
and determined. Campbell county will do her whole
duty, and the is encouraging from all parts of
East Tennessee. Gen. Harris has left lasting
impression throughout Eastern Tennessee, and we
confidently calculate majority of 10, 900 in the
State. Let us have such majority as will teach
Know Notbingism that it has become odious, and
insulting to the intelligence Of the people
Everything is going on finely" Q. c.
