THE SPEAKING AT JACKSON.
II loud Boosting and extraordinary prstsn-
sions could carry the day, then the Opposition
Of Tennessee would undoubtedly succeed in
the next election. They claim an immense
triumph for their candidate al Jackson on last
Wednesday The Enguirsr Of yesterday pro-
duces a witness who saws that Gov. Hams
actually bcygui al the discussion on Weanes-
day, a. Jackson.
Our information is entirely different, but we
shall not initiate our contemporaries of the "a
euirT and BEIsin BY rehashing accounts
which are ridiculous il themselves. We are
informed by a gentleman who listened to the
discussion al Jackson, that Gov. HARRIS Won
upoa the regards and esteem Of the Democracy
81 Madison BY bis bold, able and scOrehing
exposition Of the great issues Of the day, and
by his powerful arguments and earnest sdvoca-
cy Of the rue doctrines Of the Constitution.
Our Informant states that be made a deep i'm
preston upon the minis Of the people, and that
his vote in Madison viii be Increased at the
next election. Let the result show the truth
or faIsrv o. the two different statements.
Our inf1rmautfurthe $. ates that Col METH

Of his party, and that his effort was fat, prosy
and Improbable. Tastes differ as widely as

opponents should run to such extremes over
such speeches as are being made hy the cham

Fz1y II the BHIeifn can show any reason,
justice, or public policy for the exemption in
tn one case, and not in the other, then we
may b. prepared 20 appreciate the argument

the Opposition in Virginia. That usually san

rHECANDTDATEs FOR GOVERNOR.
Col. PEyoH, Of the Quid Nuac, thus sums up
his impressions Of the meeting between the
candidates for Governor, a. Bolivar. The
sketch viii be recognized a. graphic and
-rathfsIbv ali who have heard the discussion
between the V champions. Says the Quid
Nuac.
Before hearing the candidates, we acknowl-
eI-e nat we had some misgivings about the
result. The party press on both sides Dragged
= great deal. and the Opposition we thought,

zern that kind Of thing lone 80 often. And
shen. too. Col. Netherland was to have the
reply. and the closing speech ~ Bolivar.
But the actual encounter, long before the
smoke Of the conflict cleared away, dissipa-
ted an our forsbodings. The right cam up
