Extracts from our Business corrsspen-

dsnce.
A gentleman one of the Oldest and most reliable
citizens in Benton writing, in answer to inquiries,
to his son in this city, says al know every Demo-
crat in this county, and don't know of one Demo-
crat for DOUGLAS in this county whilst know of
several BELL men who say they are for DOUGLAS.
We are all right in Benton for B. & L.
One of the nOble-hearted and unflinching Knox
county Democrats sending for the paper, says: a
think every thing is working right for BREcKISRDeE
and LANE. don't know Of but two DOUGLAS men !,
in the couny-one of them is abolticnist and pre-
fers BELL to BREcKNRIDGE. I am satisfied that East
Tennessee viii give good account of herself in the
coming election"
We learn from one of the most we'll informed |
gentlemen of Hardeman county, that "The BREcKES
RIDGE and LANE ratification meeting there address
cd by Gen. ATKINS and Senator BRADFoRD, tells well
for the true Democratic cause. Several of those
heretofore favoring DOUGLAS, acknowledged they
had been in fog, but that all was clear now, and
they would work with their might for B. & L. We
will beat BELL and DOUGLAS both combined in Har
deman county"
cne of the many intelligent Doctors of old Maury
county writing for his paper says: There IS but
one DOUGLAS man in my neighborhood, and not sur
prising that be should be- am told he has pretty
largely developed that faculty which perRits OF IL
duces a man to act contrary to his better Judgment
No well informed man here seems to doubt now that
the plan is for the BELL North to vote for DoUG
LAS and the DoUGIAs men South vote for BELL so
rs TO break down the true Democracy. 1t won't
win"
An old subscriber at Louisville, Tenn, says: Il
have been taking your paper for several years My
time was out some few weeks since, and thought
l would do without it while, but find have no
happiness without it, and so here's the cash for
another year. Our cause is doing well in our re-
gon, and don't know of single DOUGlAs-ite."
One of the true Democracy of Hardin county,
sending US a fine club of subscribers, adds: 'I feel
that every true friend and lover of equal rights and
correct principles, should aid in the circulation of
your paper as these are the tenets for which you
are ably contending.
''We had large crowd ofLundreds at Savannah to
ratfy B. and LIS nominations, and was unable to
find DOUGLAS man in all the crowd. Hon. j. V.
WRIGHT made telling speech, and every Democrat
seemed determined to work more than ever before
for our good old cause"
A long tried and unfaltering Democrat, sending
for some papers, from McMinnville, Warren county,
A1 IL hATIEISON hN'S H'NA0 -
tcular inquiry to-day, there being men here from
all parts of the county, and can hear OF no Demo
crat for DOUGLAS but II. NJ. WATTETsON in our
county The Democrats here say that BREcKINRIDGE
and LANE fought for them and that they will now
return the compliment by fighting fer them. Old
Warren nerer fails"
From one of.the best Democrats IN Benton county
we learn the following facts: Il send you thirty
subscribers The UNION AND AMERICAN is the paper
for the crisis. To-day is county court, and L have
seenal the prominent Democrats of the county, and
can assure you there is not BELL or DOUGLAS
Democrat in the county The Opposition" have
made a signal failure to get up DOUGLAS party
here. We regret to see RODGERS take the course he
has The Know Nothing vote here will be divided
between BELL and DOUGLAS"
sterling friend in Monroe informs +" BRECK-
rRIDGE and LANE unite the Democracy in solid pha-
lanx and they not regarded dsprdtS for office
but as men of sound principles like those who formed
the constitution upon which Democracy is based
DOUGLAS is so near blank in this county that there
| are but two men for him-one is an OppOsitonist-
the other a Northerner, incapable of yielding any
influence.

. county, and were out in masses to hear Hon. I.
CaILDREss and Gen W. A. QUARLEs make telling
speeches on the Ilth The Bell-Douglasites are
nowhere here We want Coffee county to be the
banner county, and all at loOrk. If the Other
counties in this district will do well Coffee
WArTERsoS will not get twenty votes in his district
unless he gets them from BELL In November mex
we will give him cup of coffee without either su
gar or cream"
One of our old firm, long supporters of Democracy
writing to us on business, says: The Opposition
in this part of the country doing all they car
for DOUGLAS but seldom call the name OF BELL
vainy hoping by that course to confuse and divide
the Democracy that BELL may stand better
chance carry this State but the Democracy OF ole
Henry, as usual, stands firm and mistaken. and II
+ November will do her whole duty for the regular
s nominees of the Democratic party. The devices OF
Bell-ites have about as much effect upon the walls
of Democracy as a cannon loaded with chaff woulC
have against the fortress of Gibralter.'
A good and true National Democrat sending US
club of subscribers from Eddyvie, Ky, says "W'
fully endorse the course of your paper in politics
We do not know Of more than two DOUGLAS Demo
Gratis in this Oyon) county, and we are fully salts
fed DOUGLAS viii not carry ten Democratic votes Il
the County We go heart and hand for BREcKN
RIDGE and LANE"
A No. l lifelong Democrat of Fayette county
says: Your paper makes the right charge upon the
BELL. DOUGLAS ties. 1 have no doubt that those
working for DOUGLAS will in few weeks BE-
called upon to vote for BELL. The whole pos seems
tn he. THE BELL MEN NORTH ARE TO GO FOR
} DOUGLAS, AND THE DOUGLAS MEN SOUTH
ARE TO GO FOR BELL IN ORDER, IF POSI-
BILE. TO GET THEM INTO THE HOUSE AMI
DEFEAT BRECKENRIDGE AND LANE. This /;
their gane but we don't believe that it will win this
trip
That's our opinion too, good friend Democrat and
we have predicted this step in the BEILDoUGLAs
programme, and we nave time and again warned
true Democrats to watch the BELL trlckery
