The Spirit I'm East Tennessee.

We are permitted to make the subjoined
extracts from letters from East Tennessee to
gentlemen in this city:
"All things are veTy bright in East Ten
nessee for NETHERLAND. He will gain several
thousand votes here NELSON will beat HAYNES
| think. MAYNARD'S election is sure over
Gen. RAMSEY. Our prospects are cheering
generally
''COl. BRABsON and SAM SAITH opened the
canvass at Benton to-day MAY i6). BRABsON
will make an effective canvass. Considerable
enthusiasm pervades our friends in this Dis
trict. We are determined to make vigorous
fight. All on old line friends are falling into
ranks again. SMITH owes his election to Wing
votes-he will not get them this time. The
people have him explaining his vote on the
compensation BILL" constantly. That to-
gether with his 'currency manifesto" at Nash
vile is quite obnoxious to many democrats
in this District. The Opposition of East
Tennessee are alive, and | have never seen
more determined unanimity to displace the
the corrupt Democracy from power"
These letters are from reliable gentlemen,
and no doubt represent truly the condition of
public sentiment in Eastrn Division If our
friends in the Middle and West will respond
to the efforts of those in the East with equal
fervor, zeal and energy, all will be we'll

Federal Black Mail.

There is no doubt that the present federal
administration has used its best exertions in
controlling State elections. And the game is
now being attempted IN this State, as the fol-
lowing from the editorial columns of the
Carroll Patriot, of the 18th inst will show:
" Not many days since an overture ,cas tendered
us By a FEDERAL OFFICE HOLDER. 10 tie purpOrt
that y are 1cOuLd G6ate zeal IN tie cause Of re-
form, and be less strenuous our opposition TO tie
cOTrnlpt,ons Of the administration, HIS PATRONAGE
(of1cal we presume) WOULD BE CONFERRED
UPON Us. Our answer was to the effect, thy
gold perish with thy cause.'"
What is to to be thought Of an administra-
ton that will thus attempt to purchase citi-
zen's freedom of opinion, by miserable
stipend from the public treasury? Will the
people of Tennessee tolerate such attempted
outrages upon the public liberties? They
should rise up, as one man, and set the seal
of their adherence both upon the President
and his minions.
