10 candidate, and will be elected.
The second district is composed of the counties Of

go. We here nothing from this district
The third district, comprising the counties Of
Greene, Cocke, SEWER, and BlOun., gave an oppo-
sition msjorif fl6s at the last election. 1t was,
however, represented in the last Senate by LLOYD
BULLEN, (Dem.) Col. B. is again & candidate, with
fair chances for election.
The counties Of Granger, Claiborne, Anderson,
and Campbell, with an Opposition majority Of $50,
and represented, in the last Senate by Gen. BRATc-
HES, IN. Ky ought to be carried by the Democrats
II they would try.
Knox and ROane, with heavy Opposition MAORI
81, always lhas been, and We suppose always will
be, represented by an opponent of the Democratic
party.
Morgan, Scott Fentress, and overton, with three
or four to one Democrats, is equally certain always
to be represented by Democrat
The same may be said Of the district composed
the counties OF Meigs, McMinn, Polk, and MOnrO
where Gen. JANIS LANE is the Democratic Oandi-
date.
Rhea, BledsOe, Marion, Bradley, and Hamilton,
gave ct the last election, majority of S8s to Gov
HARRIS. Col JOHN A. MINIS is the Democratic
candidate. We have no doubt of his election.
White, jackson, and Macon, gave q majority
against US Of ST. while the district sent that excel
lent Democrat, HOLLAND DENroNsto the Senate
This gentleman Is q candidate for reelection, and
is Opposed by S. S. STANTON, Esq, member Of the
last House. Our friends are sanguine of the cleo
ton Of Col. DENTON.
The district composed of the counties of Sumner
and Smith gave Gov. HARRIS q majority Of S25.
DR.. THOMPSON, of Smith, is the Democratic nomi-
We hear nothing to lead US to doubt his cleo
hom
Wilson and DeKslb give q heavy Opposition
jOrity, in the face of which R. E. THOMPSON, Esq,
is q candidate, sustained by the Democratic party
Of the district.
Rutherford ard Williamson will. if nothing IN
fOreseen prevent it, be represented in the
next Senate by DR.. JonN W. RTcHARRoE, (0pp)
Bedford and Marshall compose Senatorial dis
trict giving 800 Democrats majority. Col JOHN
son, Of Bedford, is the Democratic candidate, and
will be elected, Of course.
Warren, Cannon, Coffee Grundy, and Van Buren,
are all strong Democratic counties, ana they will
send true Democrat to the next Senate.
The same may be said Of course, Of Lincoln and
Franklin, where there are two or three Democratic
candidates, Wi+hout, we believe, Know Nothing OPP
position.
Giles, Lawrence, and Wayne make closer dis
trict. But the Democratic majority, at the last
election, was 6OO and since the restoration of bar
mOny by the nomination of DR.. H. w. HUNTER the
district is safe.
Msury, Lewis, Hickman, and Dickson, with
Democratic majority Of near two thousand, will
be represented in the next Senate by THOMAS Nc
NELLY, Esq.
Davidson will have JOHN TRIMBLE, Esq, Opp for
her next Senator.
Benton, Humphreys. Perry, Decatur, and Hender-
son never but once elected Democrat to the Sem
ate. At the last election S s. Ross, Esq, DEM
was elected. He declined reelection, and Col
MICKEY is the Democratic nominee. HARRIS had
q majority at the last election, in the district, of
over 700, and there ought to be no doubt of Col.
MIcKLEx's election.
Hardin, McNairy, and Hardemsn are all Demo-
ocrstic counties, and Dr. C. c. PETERS will be their
next Senator.
In Henry, Weakley and obion there is a large
Democratic majority-say 2OOc. Weregretthat there
Is an independent candidate against Mr.. CAvITT,
the nominee of our party because this may injure
somewhat the rest Of tn, ticket. But the election
Of Democrat is q certainty.
In Robertson, Montgomery, and Stewart, THOMAS
L. YANcEY, Esq, isoppOsed by JUDsON HORNE, (0pp)
There will be no difficulty in the election Of Mr.. YAM
cEY, unless Mr.. HOLMAN makes it. We have always
regarded Mr h. as too good Democrat to persist
In course which could have no other result than
the defeat Of his party Mr.. YANcEY is gentle
man Of fine abilities and the district will honor it
self in his election.
Gibson, Carroll, and Dyer compose district hope
iessly Opposition.
Madison, Lauderdsle, Haywood and Upton, make
q district which, although represented in the last
Senate by Democrat, is too Opposition for the en-
tire comfort Of the Democratic candidate.
Fsyetts and Shelby will, We are confident, elect
R. G. PAYNE, Esq TO the next Senate.
From this brief review, .it will be seen that we
have majority in fourteen Of the twenty-five Sen
atOriAl districts The loss Of any tWo of these dis
triots unless such loss is made up BY gains Of dis
tricts in which the majority has been against US,
would give opponents majority We perform
duty to party in thus placing before them the
state Of the case. We have no districts 20 throw
away by duplicate candidates. the swapping Of
votes, or lukewArmness in the support Of the can
didates of the party.
In day or two, we will review tie House dis
triets, with the same view.
