The TENNESSEE OPPOSITION DELEGATluN.-ln con-
sequence oil the breaking axle of the pas
seuger coaches of the Virginia and Tennessee train,
Yesterday morning, the train missed connection with
the Orange and Alexandria which leaves here ut %
\. NJ. A large number of the Tennessee delegation
to the National Union Convention, which meets in
Baltimore, on next wednesday, were en- the train at
the time of this mishnp, and consequently, COM
PEELED TO lie over in this city, until the departure Of
the afternoon train. On ascertaining the distinguish
ed strangers were in town several of the Lynchhurg
Wings ayaicd themselves of the occasion TO call
them, at their quarters at the Piedmont House, and
pay their respects to their fellow workers in good
IL cause. The delegation comprises the very flower
Of Tennessee WhigPcrv Ex-Gov. Neil S. Brown,
Hon Bale Peyton, DR.. Brown!ow, Col Temple. and
others of that stripe, being Of the number. Those
gentlemen all in the finest possible spilits and
hopeful of the future Of the great and patriotic party,
they about TO assist in naugurating. Our Lynch
burg friends insisted having some spee,hes last
nght but the delegation thought it necessary that
they should reach Baltimore at the earliest possible
moment, and therefore declined making q further
,put this time. but, we pleased to state, that
t.l Peyton aud DR.. Brownow, promised to give us
'eches on their return from Baltimore. They will be
warmly greeted by the Wings of Lynchbnrg, and
vi doubtless be able to stir up the " Old Guard
tn Peytou Is one of the most eloquent speakers IN
the country, and what is still better has always been
consistent and incorporating foe of Democracy in
ali its protean shapes. OF DR.. Brownow, it is hard
" necessary to speak, presume the antecedeniS
OF that gentleman, are pretty well known to most of
our people, his opposition to Democracy has never
been called in question. We congratulate ourpo-
lilca friends on the treat in store for them.
