Extracts from our Business Correspond
dences
A friend writing us from Maryville, sending us
club of twenty new subscribers, says: 81 never, in
any former canvass knew the people as much con-
cerned to know the way the truth and the light as
they are at this time. l am happy to inform you
and the Democracy generally, that there is at least
one county in which there is not single DOUGLAS
Democrat, and that county is Blount. Such char
acter has not been seen or heard ofin all our county
and ratification meeting few days since at which
our able Eector. d. NJ. KEY, Esq, spoke, was glo-
rious affair." and the resolutions adopted were truly
Democratic. Mr.. BELL will get nearly his old vote.
Some of his former friends can't go him now. He
has no chance of being elected and all he can hope
for carry the State next year and be reelected
to the Senate. We doubt not the DOUGLAS men will
go over many of them, to the BELL party, Mr..
BELL left the JACKSON Democracy in 1886" ~
Our excellent friend A., sending us club of
twenty new subscribers from Hampshire, adds:
"As cannot make stump speeches, deem it my
duty as Democrat to do all can to circulate your
paper IN order to counterfeit the banefu influence
of the combined elements of the eVer-varying
WhigK Nothing Americana Opposition Union
Shrieking party. Their big Barbecue and their big
and little guns loaded with paper wadding did not
do them any good here, as they neither killed or
scared any one by their dolefuI cries of Disunon,
YANcEY, & Co., which made up their principal to-
pics. We lose none here and we intend to gain on
Gov. HARRIS vote in this end of the county. The
Democracy are wide awake in old Maury, and you
may look out for an increased majority in Polk 8
old county for the Democracy.
One of the faithful Democrats of old Marshall.
writing from Hollis Corner, says We had a
glorious day. the Sth, at Lewsburg ratifying BRECK-
NRDGE and LANES nomination and platform, and
the Democracy chose RICHARD WARNER, Esq, sub
electOr for our county. We know of but two
DOUGLAS men in the county, unless we count those
BELL men who electioneer for DOUGLAS and then he
would take nearly all of BELLS friends"
A friend writing from Knoxville adds: Z" Yester-
day, (the I4th,) WHITTHORNE pleased the Democracy
here to OVerfowing, ard enthusiasm ran high. He
made decidedly fine impression, and all things are
working well here We lose some few DOUGLAS
men, but we make gains of Others and upon the
whole we will foot up a handsome gain IN this
county"
From sterling Democrat in Grundy county we
learn that all is right side up. He says:
81 ..,,
floating triumphantly over her patriotic sons. She
will do her whole duty in November next. The De-
mocracy is firmly united upon BRECKNRIDGE and
LANE. have been over the county, taking the CEN
sus of the county, and l have found but one
Democrat for DOUGLAS, who, think, will yield the
point and yet go for BREOK and LANE Our people
are as firmly united for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE as
they were upon BUCHANAN and BRECKENRIDGE in 1856.
The Opposition in this county, most of them.
will vote for BELL and EVERETT. unless they vote
as they are now working-for DoUGIAs and JOHN
SON."
A good Gibson county Democrat of the true faith,
says: There is little doubt but that BRECKENRIDGE
and LANE will get large vote in this county in
November as has ever been given for the Democra-
cy in any election. There are now but few squat
tiers among us, while we are making some very i'm
portant aecessions from the Opposition ranks.
feel confident that B. L. will get at least the HAIR
vote of August last, far this county is con-
cerned. and in fact throughout the Ninth Congress
sional District, and with proper efforts we can do
better"
A Democratic friend writing for club of sub.
scribers at GuL's store, Lincoln county says 'The
Democracy are setting steep old Lincoln for
BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. The Opposition have all
forsaken BELL and say that DOUGLAS is the regular
nominee of the party. l want to know if they were
ever before friendly to the regular nominee of the
Democratic party ," We assure our friend B. we
have before In the history of SANS party
known them to be in favor of % the regular nomi-
nee" as they are now pleased to call Mr.. DOUGLAS
If they really believed him the regular nominee we
have not doubt they would oppose DOUGLAS as bit
terly as they now do BRECKENRIDGE. That is the
principal part of their creed-to oppose any and
everything regularly and truly Democratic.
A noble Democratic friend at Huntsville, Ala
bama, sending us a club of twenty new subscribers,
kindly adds:
81 took advantage of the grand () BELIrDoUGLAs
demonstration here yesterday, (I4th) to make up
the following club to my old reliable friend the week
ly UNION AND AMERICAN.
BRECKENRIDGE and LANE will get the usual Demo
cratic majority in this State of course we will lose
the "DOUGLAs squad" but get better Southern men
from the ranks of the Opposition to fill their places
Not the remotest danger of defeat here"
One of the invincible Democracy of Lincoln
county, sending for the paper, says few encourag
ing words to the Democracy of Tennessee and else
where, assuring them that old Lincoln county is all
right side up for BRECKINRTDGE and LANE and gaining
every day for the true Democratic cause.
A friend writing for the paper from Hardeman
county says the "BELIDOUGIAs trick is leaking out
here and you may rest assured that no true Dem
ocrat when he looks fail to that the plan now
is take all the DOUGLAS South BELL and what
few BELL there are North to DOUGLAS Why
