TEN OF the State by the Democracy two years ago,
are regarded BY the Opposition as the commence
ment Of this war. The suppression of shin
plaster circalatiOn, the regulation of exchange,
the requirement that the Bsnks should re-
sumo specie payment and issue no notes which are
not redeemable at the counter where issued, are
the evidences relied upon by ouropponents that
Democratic party are determined to destroy the
Banks. Thess measures did, we admit, receive the
support Of almost the entire Democratic party in the
las. Legislature and The present improved condition
of the currency is the result of their adoption The
body Of the Opposition, clinging to the false and
PerniciOus system which they had adopted years
ago, and which had brought distress upon the peo-
Iie and ruin upon the finances of the State, resisted
these reforms, proncuncing the policy which tho
Democracy recommended dangerous ard destrue-

pie have experienced the benefits of that policy,
but the Opposition still dscaim against it ''a war

Democracy are Waging war of determination upon
Banks, they must be understOodto mean, that we

striving TO relieve the people from the tyranny
and oppression of ill-7egulated banks which our
opponents themselves have fastened upon the coun-

tinue our efforts to reform and regulate them. We
are determined to pursuee that policy which has
already operated so benefcally upon thefnsnces of
the State, until all the existing evils that have crept
into our banking system under Opposition rule,
abolished.

In his speech at the Market II ,use, Gen. QUARLEs
attempted to explain away his conducl in accepting
an invitation to speak without giving his competitor
an opportunity to reply. He cannot relieve himself
from the popular indignation which such discourte-
sy merits DR.. MENEEshad refused a similar inv-
taton to address the Democratic Club in this city
because his competitor was not present. He had
twice withdrawn from the canvass and postponed
his appointments until General QUARLEs could meet
him.
When asked for division Of time General QUAR-
LES withheld his consent until he could consult
his friends of the NETHEYLAHD Club DR.. Me-
MES called on him early next morning to
learn the result of his consultation with his friends
and was informed that General Q had left town. A
member of the NETHERLAND Club was then applied
to for the purpose and the decision post
poned until after consultation with Gen. QUARLEs.
Seeing that this important consultation was to be
deferred until too late for separate appointment,
notice was Immediately given that Or MENEEs
would address the Democratic Club on Thursday
night Nobody doubts that Gen. QUARLEs might
have granted his competitor division of time if he
pleased Nobody doubts that the course pursued by
DIR. MENEEs towards him, merted such courtesy at
his hands.

In both the canvassss of Gov. JOHNSON, as well
as in the first of Gov HARRIS, the charge was made
that they were not as decided the slavery ques-
tion in East Tennessee as in the West. There was
no truth in this charge we had occasion to slow
The Opposition are fseby echoiDg the same charge
in this canvass against Gov. HARRIS. Not man
in the State believes it. Every acquaintance Of Gov
HARRIS knows better We refer TO the subject only to
denounee the insult to East Tennessee by the Know
Nothings themselves, in thus insinuating that Ease
Tennessee is lukewarm on the subject Of Southern
rights The people of East Tennessee are no more
Abolitionists than those of the west The iusinua-
ton that it is policy in candidate to moderate his
views on the slavery question to suit the people Of
East Tennessee is a gross SANDER on true men.

We publish the following note at the request of
Mr.. LELLYETT:
MARKET STREET, July %, 1859.
G. G. PoISDRxTER, EsQ-De1r Sir: Your further
reference to myself in this mornings paper renders
necessary and proper the following explanation.
My father, who is an Engishman, but has lived
in the United States since 1872 has been for years
sinking under the iufrmities of old age At about
the age of eighty he was struck down apparently
lfeless by an affection of the BRAIN common among
very aged persons. Since that time though re-
stored in to his physical strength, his
mind has been impaired. His memory especially is
deficient Fivs minutes conversation with him will
satisfy any intelligent person that he has little idea
of past events. Indeed, his conversation on such
subjects is entirely incoherent aud wandering You
Will perceive, therefore, that Mr.. BARNARD's infor
nation was not after all, obtained as you had sup
posed, from the most reliable source. Mr.. BAR
NARD requests me to say that, at the time he asked
the information Of my father or communicated it to
others, he was not that my fathers mind had
been impaired by sickness.
1t is hardly necessary to repeat that am ma
tive American, and have lived in this immediate
vicinity nearly all my life
Presuming you are willing to do me justice, 1
will ask that you will give this note the same pub
licty which you may have given or may give, to
you article of yesterday morning. 1 have uniform
~ shrunk from unnecessary publicity in this mat
ter, and am mortified at the necessity which arises
for the publication of these delicate personal de-
tails, but feel that l am not to blame.
Respectfully, JouE LELLYETT
