ty is made of other parties--Demoorats,
Wings, Americans, Bepublicans-all
who can no longer brook the wild eX-
travagance and wanton disregard Of
principle in an Administration and
party, which emboldoned by former un-
merited success, vainly imagine that
they "can afford TO disregard the cen
sures Of the world" and to despise the

The party in Office Ct viii not say in

vain and fallaoious hope) that zoe will
be so unwiso and unpatriotic as to waste
our strength in petty chickering's about
old party names und subordinate quos-
tious of policy and convenience, and to
split up our forces into platoons and Sec
tions, as if for the very purpose Of en-
.abliug our inferior enemy to beat us all,
in detail. If we be so UnWiso as that
if we allow the adversary to form the
plan Of our campaign, to marshal our
troops, to tell us when to march, and
where to camp, apd how to fight, Of
course we will get what we earn and de-
sorve-defeat And by mere folly, we
will add to tho humiliation Of defeat the
sting of shame, in the consciousness
that we had in our hand the means Of
victory and the assurance Of tho peace
and prosperity Of the nation, but wan
tonly threw them away. However it
may be elsewhere, 1 am sure it will not
be so in Tennessee. Her gallant sons
are always ready when brave and gen
erous deeds are ncedful. Her younger
patriots, high-spivited and bold against
the enemy, but mild, and forboaring to
each other, will march, in cordial union,
on to victory, their warm zeal guided,
and, if need be, restrained and temper
cd, by the cool wisdom and prudence Of
the veteran Bell.
Your recent victory, and similar sue
cessos in other Southern and Western
States, emboldened me to hope for the
like good result all over the Union
The spirit Of conservative patriotism is
aroused throughout the nation, by the
| dangerous misgovernmont and bold in
InovatiOns Of the last few years; and, in
view Of the great national interests now
in peril, a better feeling-a feeling of
harmony and mutual confidence, Of kind
forboarance on minor points, Of gener-
GUS concession in favor of peace and
unity--is visibly increasing in all the
elements of the Opposition. Those who
foster and advance that good feeling,
and ripen it into a cordial union, will
be great public benofactors. Such
union alone will constitute the victory,
without the necessity for another blow;
for the Democracy, as now enervatod
and demoralized, will be no match for
the united Opposition.
And such a victoryl A victory in
which all-even the vanquished-will
have to rejoice, because it will restore
peace and harmony to the excited sec
tions, law and order to the disturbed
territories, moderation and justice to the
Government, and prosperity and honor
to the Nation Such at least, is the ear
nest hope Of
Your obliged friend and fellow citizen,
