Good New, from the East ana the Yves,

Good News from the East ana the West.
We are in receipt of various letters from the best
informed and most reliable sources in the Eastern
and Western divisions Of the State. We have no
disposition to excite the hopes of friends beyond
what the facts clearly justify. We have never re-
garded good policy to do 50, from the fact that
the Democracy never put forth their whole strength
until they see danger before them. We trust, how
ever, that it will not relax their efforts in Middle
Tennessee to learn the good tidngs that coming
to US from their brethren in the two extreme
divisions of the State
In East Tennessee Gov. HARRIS will receive 8
larger vote than he received in 1887. Mark that.
File this away and see when the election is over
whether We have misled you or not. The OppO-
sitiOn brsg is but part of their old game. They
have no hope in that division of ths State, where
JOHN NErHERLAND resides and is best known. We
have assurances from reliable citizens Of Haw-
kns, who have always voted the Opposition ticket,
that Gov. HARRIS will make gain in that Col
NETHERLANDS own county HIS SEIGHBoRs, many
Of them, WON'T VOTE FOR him, even among those
who have heretofore opposed the Democracy.
A gentleman who heard the discussion between
the candidates for Governor in Sullivan, NErHER-
LAsD's native county, assures US that HARRIS ma
jority there will run to ten or eleven hundred votes
Our only fear IN East Tennessee is in legislative
losses from plurality Of candidates, in several
counties.
From the West our intelligence is also encour-
aging. We have strong hopes that Democrat will
be elected to Congress from the Memphis District
and that we shall carry the legislative ticket in
Shelby, despite the unfavOrable state Of affairs
which prevails there.
No man in the State has made so gallant and ar
duous fight as ATKINS. His bold and manly bear
ing his elevated tone and purity Of sentiment pre-
sent striking contrast with the conduct and char
acter Of ETaERI0GB. We can but believe, there
fore, that the people will award him glorious
triumph over his competitor, Notwithstanding the
concerted effort that is being made from Massschu-
sets to Tennessee to secure the success of ETHER
IrGB. Gall hail to EMERsoN ETHERIDGB, says
HoRACE GREELEY from the scenes Of the recent
strifes in Kansas but imagine that the greeting
which he sends will not be re-echoed by the Ninth
Congressional district in the defeat of ATKINS and
the election of ETHERIDeE
From every other portion of the West We have
the most cheering intelligence. Our only fear is
the want of q full vote in the strong Democratic
counties of the Seventh Congressional district,
owing to the want of any opposition to our gallant
standard bearer, JOHN V. WRIGHr.
DEMOCRATS OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE are you up
and doing, like your brothers in the two ends Of
the State Or are you willing to be lsggsrds in
the race Are you standing every man to his gun,
resdy to be among the foremost in the fight, share
ing with brothers of the East and the West the
hOnors and trophies that await us if we but do our
duty; IS shall We be found sleeping on our arms,
subject to be distracted by the enemy, without the
pleasure Of feeling, if our party carry the day. that
we in part did it-Or without the satisfaction Of
knowing if the day is lost that it was from no fault
of ours, having fully done our duty.
