THE CANVASS IN TENNESSEE.

In the Nashville Union Of the 18th instant we find
long and most encouraging article in relation 70
the state Of the pending canvass in Tennessee. The
Union is of the opinion that the democrats will GER
tainly carry six out of the ten congressional districts
In regard to the four remaining districts that paper
says:
1.-THE only districts in which there need be any doubt
are the four districts formerly represented by Messs M
Iicotfcr Ready Sneed, and Watkins; and in all Of these
the democrats have much to be hopeful If they will
only make the proper effort from this time until the DAY
Of the election In ALL except the first district we have
regularly -nominatcd candidates. and they such IS
should inspire friends with the greatest zeal
The Union closes its calculations with the follow
ing sensible and seasonable advice which, as will
be seen, is not calculated solely for the meridian o.
Tennessee:
"Al that is required of our friends is eorh We were
late in opening the and have but little time 90
upon Let epery good democrat dcuoe himself from hs o ~
far may be necessary, % ne Of principles Vm
strength in the State will be Of avail to us II we s
supnely and fail to exercise it. Our known maoiN
will not achieve victory for unless we can ge '
vote to the polls. Let every democrat feel that u
partly his duty to see to this Let each county be can
vassed see that democrat is imposed upon by perV
sios of truth and false dogmas ingeniously circulated
and let the voters of every district be induced to a
the polls the day of the election and shall pc che

TRIED IN SEVEN STATES, AND HOW II HAS
WORKED

WudhGD.
The Maine law (says the Providence POST has
been fairly tried in seven States of the American
Union and in every one it has proved a complete
failure From the eastern boundary of Maine to the
western line of Michigan it has not permanently
closed single grog-shop. In Rhode Island there
are three grog-shops to-day where there was one
when the law was enacted. In Maine the law has
been repealed.
And VIC know that the law was a dead letter in
nearly every school district in Maine for at least two
years before il was repealed. There are not ICON
tinues the POST ten temperance men in any single
town or city in New England who will lift finger TO
enforce the Mainc-liquor law. The law has been on
the statute book of this State with an interruption
of only three four months, ever since July 1852
During the last two years not four rum-selcrs have
been imprisoned under it and we are confident that
not more than six warrants have been issued
The Maine law in Rhode Island had not only the
effect of multiplying grog-shops to an indefinite ex-
tent but it has caused general spirit Of resistance
to all excise law and, indeed, has been most eff
cacous cause of the general characterization of tie
community to laws Of all kind
The general defiance of the late excise law in New
York city and elsewhere would not now be Witness
ed if the friends of the Maine law had not set the
example of disregard of the rights of the people in
their unconstitutional scheme, and had not created a
habit of disobedience by their unwise project

grows richer with every development. The Union
says he has been in the possession of farmer in Ontario
county for several months and became mischevous, de-
stroying the fowls and committing several depredaops
upon his property The could not give away the
bird, could he drive him away So through mercy,
rather than kill him, he brought there and sold to
sympathizing citizens When the committee set him free
on the cupoa Of the court house. they had to club
to start him his fight He aligbted again as
he saw hcn-roost He is a filIibuster's eagle
