We were at Chattanooga on Saturday, and
there met with gentlemen of all three oil the
prevailing parties, from many OF the counties
of Fast Tennessee and Northern Georgia, and
are satisfied that in all the regions represent
ed. the Union is still strong in the great
uopuIar heart. We saw one Struggling South
Carolinian who expressed his contempt Tor
the Union. and that was all. The BfecKih-

ton by voting for Bell or DOUGLAS. But
they cannot be brought to realize the iml-
nence of the danger in advance. Uniortu-
nately the strength of party bias. ard tue IN

great that they cannot be convinced. But
though they vote for Breckenridge now, We
they enter upon overt acts of treason, II not
before. the scales will fall from the eyes ol
their misguided followers, and that they can
not count on them for support. II the peo-
pie of Tennessee, and we believe OF the
South and of the whole Union, could be con
WINGED, as we are, deeply, thoroughly and
honestly that the real issue in this struggle Is
for the Union under the Constitution or ior
dissolution and war, the Union would be sus-
tanned by odds utterly overwhelming and
crushing.
In this view we invoke our friends who
have espoused the cause of the Constitution,
the Union and the enforcement of the laws,
to be of good cheer and to relax no effort to
sustain and uphold them at the bal!ot-boX-
Let no man who truly loves his country and
desires its peaceful and prosperous continu-
ance finch in this hour OF trial We are
standing for the right, and We will prevail
in the end. In Tennessee all is well. We
feel confident that in this State the Union
will triumph glOriOusly- The people III their
primary majesty and power are with us. Bat
our foes are both cunning and expert, and It
is not unknown in The history CT human az
fairs that power may be overcome by strate-
gy- We therefore appeal to the friends of the
Union to be vigilant, be firm, be active from
now till the evening of the 9th November.
Weappeal to them TO awake 10 the great work
that is placed for their hands 10 do. We ap-
peal to them, by all the motives which can
influence lofty patriotism and consistent
with an honest sense OF duty, to omit nothing
that can be done to maintain the Union and
its institutions, and to avert the terrible CO
lamities of revolution

Parton,. Life of Andrew jackson.


We have now the third and last volume of
this interesting work. We can bespeak for it
careful reading, with the promise of much
profitable admonition and instruction, if
carefully perused and digested.
At the same time we can easily foresee that
the political hiaOry,-the life of Gen. jackson
as a politician. as related in this volume, will
give dissatisfaction to many of his admirers.
The opinions of thousands of our felIow-citi-
sens, regarding public men and measures, are
formed and fixed by the perusal Of partisan
newspapers and campaign documents, and
from the popular harangues of excited dema-
gogues. There is Inevitable much OF unjust
prepossession, ill-founded prejudice and mis-
judgment thus absorbed and retained by the
public mind.
A great difficulty hence arises before the
historian and student-not to remove all
these cherished opinions, likes and dislikes-
but, from the vast accumulation of trash
thrown together by thousand excited minds
and busy hands, to eviscerate the truth, to
bring out facts, principles. statements, which
will endure the scrutiny of time.
In regard to these lives of Gen. Jackson
pioneer, soldier, politician-we are confident
that Mr.. Parton has aimed to be truthful and
impartial; 'and we believe that such need of
praise will be awarded him at some future
day, and that this Life of Jackson will be
accepted as complete and reliable, however
much some persons now may wish that he
had omitted some things, and presented Ia
more favorable coloring other statements.
But he has most happily summed up his
own views and the principles by which be
was governed in the preparation of these in
teresting volumes: a
He records the facts and "leayes his read
ers to make their own refiections.'
"When the story is told. the. duty Of the
biographer is done, and that of the reader
begins. There may be those who would have
had this contrast between Gen. Jackson's
private utterances and Gen. Jackson's public
behavior suppressed or softened. There may
be those who think that more is due to the
memory OF favorite hero than to truth; or,
in other words, that more is due to Andrew
Jackson than to the people of the United
States.
"lf any such there be-and Ihave been told
there are such-their applause is dishonor,
censure glory. For those who wish to know
the truth, and only for those, these pages have
been toilfully prepared.
at was stated at the beginning that An
drew jackson was not model to copy no
man is;-but specimen to study, as every
man is. AS his circumstances become more
difficult, his duties more complex and impor-
tant, he makes larger demands both upon
the insight and the charity of the student"

The Great Union Parade.

We have no hesitation in saying, that the
magnificent parade of the Union men, in this
city last evening, was, beyond all COMPARE
son, the greatest demonstration of the kind
ever seen in New York.-famous as New York
is for the imposing displays of which it has
been the scene in times past, when the Union
was appealed to. Men well skilled in num-
bers, assured us that there could not have
been fewer than Forty thousand people on
the line of march.-and that the length of
the Procession was from five to six miles
The Republican turnout. a few weeks ago,
was thus, but the farthing candle, compared
with this great Union Sun, The enthusiasm,
too, was immense. We never saw anything
like it. Every body seemed to be carried
away with it, The Republican display OF
rusties, compared with this parade, was but
funeral procession. Cheers for "the Union, %
"the Constitution" rung out clear, loud,
heartily and spontaneously all along the
whole route
There is scarcely doubt that on the 9th
OF November the Empi.e City. under such
inspiration as this, will roll up majority
ior the Union Electoral ticket equal 10 the
torty thousand good men and true. who
turned out in her throughfares last NIGHT
following no music that did not chord Win

Louisiana.

A warm friend of Breckenridge and Lane
thus writes as to the prospects in Louisiana !:
while am going for Breckenridge and Lane,
/ assure you that Breckenridge stands no
chance in Louisiana Bell and Everett
will undoubtedly carry the Staie-"-Atlanta
AHssrscLm.
We were considerably amused at Mr.. YAM
CEY's claim Friday night OF Louisiana for
Breckenridge. After declaring that certain
States would go for his man by overwhelming
majorities, Georgia, amongst them, by 5000;
he said that the democratic majority in Lou
isiana had always been small, but she was
safe for BRECKENRIDGE He would rather
rely upon State which had only 800 major
ity than one which had larger. Small ma
jorities very suddenly became of the greatest
reliability. He will find that the little one in
Louisiana will change sides.

The Treasury Ten million Loan.

We are not disposed to look with alarm
upon trifling signs Of disturbance in moneta-
~ affairs, but notice of the sale, at WASH
ington, yesterday. of s10,000,0 900 Federal
Five Per Gents, at the low prices reported in
another column, is not of this character, and
this notice should arrest the serious attention
of every careful man. In the mids. of pro-
found peace in Western Europe, and with ev-
cry element of national prosperity at home,
the paltry national debt cannot be renewed
at anything in the way of premium, over five
per cent.
A part of this decline may be attributed
to the i'll judged course of the Secretary of
the Treasury, who selected the height of an
excited political canvass in which to borrow
money; but there is no denying the hard fact,
that public confidence has been 50 shaken By the
a,ti-slauery agitation, that New York city,
backed by all the European capital here, did
not bid enough at any price to ease the wants
of the Treasury.
The city Bank Statement is also one of the
signs of the times, which conservative men
should note. Although the Banks carry q
greater average of specie, by nearly two
millions, than last week, they have loaned
little or nothing of it, and have called upon
the merchants that owe them to pay up
$500, 900 of loans. Excessive caution is the
order of the day.-N. r Express.

Important Letter from John C.
Breckinridge.

In the Albemarle Ssuttron, published at
Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and in its is.
sue of Friday, the 18th, we find short letter
from ohm G. Breckenridge to DR.. Cohoon,
the Mayor of Elizabeth City, which is beau
ty and wonder indeed. 1t appears that the
aforesaid DR.. Cohoon, anxious to obtain a re-
ply to the Norfolk questions, aud nothing
daunted by the ill-success of the Breckenridge
elector for the Norfolk district, undertook,
by himself, the peculiar task of pumping an
answer out of the distinguished leader of the
Disunioh forces, and has actually succeeded
in drawing forth from Mr. Breckenridge an
epistle of great magnitude and marvellous
ness. We agree with the editor aforesaid,
that the eminent success of the aforesaid DR..
Cohoon, in unsealing the lips of poor Breck-
ridge, has immortalized his name, and hence
forth he will be known as the man, who sue
ceeded in extracting an answer to the Nor
folk questions, from John G. Breckenridge.
The following is an extract from Breckin-
ridges letter to DR.. Cohoon, as we find it
published in the Sorahron newspaper:
LEAiNGFoS, N.Y. OcI 4tn, 1861.
DEAR SIR:-Yours of the first instant has
been received. The questions you ask, are
answered in my enclosed speech.
l ESTEEM Mr.. YANCEY HIGHLY AND NAVE
KNOWN HIM LONG AND FAvoRABLY. Mr..
Breckenridge is not Mr.. Yancey.
love the Union, but the South better. IF
elected, the Union under my care, shall new
er he disseminated.
Yours, Respectfully,
JOHN c. BRECKENRIDGE.
DIR. J.T. z. G. CoHoON, E. City, N. C..
In commenting on the foregoing, the editor
of the Southron says: ':7He letter has been saovn
us, from a0hich zoe took the o6oue extracts. In the
above extracts, zoe haze quoted the language Of Mr..
B. Uerbatim. What Mr.. Breckenridge means
by the concludi Dg paragraph in his letter, we
are scarcely able to comprehend. We think
that a gentleman who aspires to fill the high
and responsible Office of chief executive of
the United States, ought to be competent to
express himself in an intelligent manner.
Why did not Mr.. Breckenridge declare, that
if elected, under his care the Union should
not be disunited. That would have beer so
plain, that the wayfariDg man, though fool,
could not have erred therein. As it is, we
think it exceedingly foggy; and, furthermore,
we think Mr.. Breckenridge an exceedingly
foggy candidate. He does not intend for his
real sentiments to he known.
"Now, we would suggest to DR.. Cohoon, to
write again to Mr.. Breckenridge, and endea-
vor to ascertain. whether or not, he means
that if elected, the Union shall not be 'dis-
seminated,' as he wrote it, or whether he
meant to say, 'the Union shall not be disuni-
ted in the event of his election. BY the
time an answer is received, perhaps the cleo
ton will be over. .a.tt aat
ave again warn the people not to vote for
a candidate who is afraid of bis real senti-
ments to be known. Breckenridge is the
candidate of sectional party that seek 10
dissolve the Uaion. He is, therefore, dam
gerous man to be elevated to the chief magis-
tracy of this tion."-Richmond Wing.

The progress of ur. Douglas South.

Judge DOUGLAS left this city at 4 o'clock
on Saturday morning for Chattanooga, where
he had appointed to speak, at p. NJ that
day. At the various way stations on the
line Of the Road, small crowds had collected
to see the distinguished gentleman At al
most every one there were calls for doug
las" and he several times appeared on the
platform of the cars and exchanged greetings
with the people. At Wartrace he spoke
some five or ten minutes alluding TO the dan
gers which threaten the stability of the Union
and the line of policy which he thought best
calculated to avert thecalamity of dissolution
A. DeeheFd he did the same. At Stevenson,
in Alabama, there was crowd of some two or
three hundred persons, whom he addressed
for half an hour, and who paid deep attention
the speech. At Chattanooga Mr.. DOUGLAS
was met by the largest crowd, by common
consent, ever assembled in that place, to
whom he spoke an hour and forty minutes,
with great effect. He leaves Chattanooga
this morning for Kingston, Ga, where he
speaks to-day.

Everywhere that he went be was most gladly

gallant service In this canvass. Indeed, he
has, ever since Mr.. Bells nomination, given
himself up to our cause; and if Mr.. Bell shall
