AN EXTRACT FhbM A PRIVATE LETTER


Through the kindness of friend we are permitted
to make the following extract from private letter.
from Knoxville which win prove interesting to many
of our readers:
s'I think Hattons majority in this county win be
from $50 to $50 votes less than FmOres over Buch-
anan. There are a great many old lire Wings and
some Know Nothings who viii not vote fer Hatton be-
cause they do not believe he is as well qualified for
the positionIof Governor as Gen. Harris. And their
partisan feelings are not strong enough to compel
them to vote for man who is not worthy represen-
tative of the intelligence and reputation Of the
people of Tennessee. shall be greatly disappointed
if Harris majority in the State is not greater than
that of Buchanan over Fillmore. We will have e
close race in this Judicial Circuit for Judge between
Judge Swan and Mr. Weleker and Mr.. Brown. Swan
has surprised everybody by the agreeable manner
in which he has discharged the duties of his present
high position. And a great many men who differ
with him in politics and some who have had strong
prejudices against him are going to vote for him.
The people and the bar are both well satisfied with
Judge Swans discharge of the duties of his Office.
Indeed have not heard the first complaint from
any quarter whatever. He will get considerable
majority over either Of the other candidates in
Knoxville and will get least 200 votes in the
county than Mr.. Buchanan did. In almost every
county in the Circuit he will get considerable
number Of votes from the ranks of those who are
opposed to him in politics. There are great many
men in the Circuit who are discreet and sober
enough not to let politics control their votes in
election for Judge Judge Swan was compelled to
stay at home dcring the week of Morgan Court in
consequence of the low state of his brothers health
who is now on visit from Jackson at his house and
apparently in the last stage of pulmonary affec
ton. His brother was anxious for him to remain
with him and he felt it his duty to do so. This may
lose him some votes in Morgan county where the
reasons for his failure to attend that Court are moi
known, but all ofthose who become acquainted with
the facts will appreciate instead of condemning hi:
course. His friends told him his non attendance a
Morgan would lose him votes but his reply was, if il
cost him the Judgeship and everything else he felt
his duty to remain with his brother, and so think
generous people will decide. You viii see from tbs
papers that Mr.. Browns and Weleker's friends havt
got into quite quarrel in endeavoring to make al
! arrangement to run but one of them. The quarre
has already progressed to such extent that many
of the discreet friends Of both of them think it il
better under all the circumstances that Swan should
be elected"

THE APPROACHING ELECTION-To THE DE-
MOCRACY!

THE APPROACHING ELECTION-TO THE DE-
MOCRACY!
NASHVILLE, July 81, 1857.
The election last November apparently resi- ored
Tennessee to her old position as one of the certain
Democratic States. Our majority was about seven
thousand five hundred. Our opponents believe,
however, that this majority is unreliable and that
it was ocoasioned by the general belief that
Fremont could only be defeated by Buchanan. In
this belief, they are now making most determined
effort to reduce majority, and perhaps to carry
the State. The Know Nothing organization, SO far
it relates to securing full vote of all the mem
bers of the ORDER is believed still to be in force
and the members have no doubt of their ability to
give Mr.. Hatton as large a vote as was given last
fall to Mr.. Fillmore. They count on q great re-
ductiOn of the democratic vote, and some of them
are sanguine enough to think that this reduction
will be sufficient to permit the election of Mr.. Hat
ton. Our most reliable information from all parts
of the State leads US to the confident belief that go
far there have been any changes since last fall
they have been in our favor; but these advises all
speak of over conf dencs and apathy. This ought
not to be so. While the result is secure if We poll
as large proportion of vote opponents do
of theirs, our majority may at least be reduced to
a very small number if a considerable portion of
our voters stay away from the polls in the belief
that there is no necessity for their votes.
The object of this address is to point out to you
this danger and to appeal to you to see that 1t is
guarded against in your county. Let measures
be taken to secure full vote This is all that is
necessary for a repetition ofthe majority of Novem-
Der last; and such majority will secure the Demo
cratic party undsputed ascendenoy in the State for
many years to come We doubt not that this con-
sideraton will be sufficient to induce you, and
other leading riencs in your county, to devote the
remaining time until the election to the providing
the necessary measures to secure full vote.
Respectfully,

RaT Among the items of news brought by the
Crcassian, is the refusal of the House of Lords, by
vote of 81 majority, to admit Jews to Parliament
The Catholic disability acts have been long since
pealed, but the Jewish disability still remains This
prescription, however, it is believed, cannot last
much longer, the sentiment of the House of Com
mons and the constituencies is strongly against it
Know Nothingism finds no ally in England except in
the House of Lords.

TOLERARLY TOUGH,

Mr.. YEADoS, of the Courier and Maj. PERRY
are fast friends-not only friends, but "fast."-
They are about to have family quarrel, however.
1t seems that the Patriot told Mr.. ltadon's anec-
dote last week whereupon Mr.Y. waxed vcxed,
wrote of it in bad humor, and-set about to claim
his own by giving version of the important anec.
dotes in dispute-whch version, by the way, is
decidedly inferior in pith and style to Maj. PER-
RVS. We would suggest marginally, that Joe,
the "domo," interfere. But we do not wish to
take prominent part; and therefore would beg
leave to content ourself by giving both parties o
hearing. Mr.. YEADoN dscourses thus:-
"We observe that our contemporary and friend
of the Greenvilie Patriot and Mountaineer has,
against our express protest and prohibition stolen
two, out of three, negro anecdotes, which we let
drop, in conversation with him. but which, as We
took care to inform him, we designed exclusively
for our own columns. Such barefaccd plagiarism
or, rather such newspaper grand larceny, de-
serves, if not condign punishment, at least merry
chdstisement. Before giving cur trial of negro
anecdotes, in our own way, and in fnr better
way than that our appropridting friend, we pro-
cccd to give him, by way Of lesson, taste of the
casti9are ridendo.
'In the winter of 1853, we arrived at Colum-
bin, during the session of the Legislature, at n
time when every hotel and boarding house were
so crowded, that we had not where to lay our
head. Our friend, already with two or three CO.
tenants of his chamber, besides himself, kindly
rendered US share Of his bed. Our reply, (by
way Of rebuke, for his inveteratc and incorrgbe
propensity to manufacture editorials out of So
cial converse or friendly chat was-"Wc accept
the hospitality of your chamber, but not Of your
bed; for we are afraid We shall dream, and you
will publish our dreams."
Here followed the anecdotes in Mr. VS. style,
but we haven't room for them. They are the same
as Maj. PERRYs, only "long drawn out"
Oar readers will be kind enough to remain in
state of excitement, until the reply of the Patriot
comes to hand; whereupon it (he reply of the
Patriot will be duly published.
Nous rerrons!'

POSTAGE.

1t may be profitable for our readers to bear in
mind the subjoined regulations in regard to post
age on transient matter, recently issued from the
Post-Ofice Department -
/. Books not weighing over four pounds may be
sent in the mail pre- paid by postage stamps, at
one cent an ounce, any distance in the U. States
under three thousand miles, and Mt two cents an
ounce over three thousand miles; provided they
are put up without q cover or wrapper, or in
cover or wrapper open at the ends or Sides so that
their character may be determined without re-
moving the wrapper.
2. Unsealed circulars, advertisements, business
cards. transient newspapers, and every other ar
tcle of transient printed matter except books not
weighing over three ounces, sent in the mail to any
part of the United States, arechargeabe with one
cent postage each, to be prepaid by postage
stamps. Where more than one circular is printed
on 4 sheet or a circular and letter, each must be
charged with single rate. This applies to lot
terry and other kindred sheets assuming the form
and name of newspapers; and the miscellaneous
matter in such sheets must also be charged with
one rate. business card on an unsealed envel-
ope of circular subjects the entire packet to let
ter postage. Any transient matter, like circu-
lar or handbll, enclosed in or with n periodical or
newspaper sent to subscriber, or to any other
person, subjects the whole package to letter post
age: and whenever subject to letter postage, from
being sealed or from any cause whatever, all print
ed matter, without exception, must be prepaid or
excluded from the mail. 1t is the duty of the post
master at the mailing Office, as we'll as Mt the Of
flee of delivery, carefully to examine all printed
matter in order to see that it is charged with the
proper rate of postage and to detect fraud. 1T
offices where postage stamps cannot be procured,
postmasters are authorized to receive money in
prepayment of postage on transient matter, but
they should be careful to keep supply of stamps
on hand.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-By invitation OF the Sons of
Temperance of Beth-Shoh Division, the citizens
of the vicinity met, on Friday last, at Beth Shiloh
Church, to hear addresses from DR.. Campbell, and
Col Beatty, members os the Order, who had been
requested to speak on the occasion. The day was
very unfavorable from the intensity of the cold
yet it was quite gratifying to see so many of the
neighbors in attendance, and especially of the fe-
male portion of the community. 1t would seem
that the ladies every where decided friends of
Temperance, and of all and any, who advocate the
the good cause. May heaven bless the women is
prayer full of hope.
Beth-Shiloh Division promises to do much good
1t is respectable in numbers-turned out arrayed
in resalia, in its full strength, and presented o
sight, in its young men, cheering to the heart of
the benevolent, and exciting hopes for Church,
State and society in general. This Division is Pc
culiarly blessed in one particular-a Minister Of
the Gospel now fills the chief Office in the Division
and is not ashamed of his position. If he succeed
in banishing intoxicating drink from his Church,
it is what some Ministers in the District dare not
effeotually attempt
Of the addresses it is perhaps prudent should
not say word. Other sections may hereafter
have an opportunity of hearing them for them
selves: for Lam confident the speakers have. no
objection to delivering like sentiments on all prop
er occasions, and would rather seek than avoid
like opportunities. The psgsuasiaa,is strong II
