FOOD, prominent member of our bar, and one
las hitherto acted with the Opposition, res
d TO a caIlmade upon him and declared sde-
nation to support in the canvass and at the
s, BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. Heapproyed of their
inciples, and he approved of the men. From his
arliest boyhoOd he had known JOHN C. BRECKN-
RIDGE, and he knew him to be the soul of honor,
patriot pure and undefled. The accession of Col.
UNDERwooD to the Democracy is one of great impor-
lance. Wherever he is Known he is respected, and
no man can accuse him of being influenced by any
mere partizan or personal considerations, He is
guided alone by the convictions of duty. The
opinion of such men must have great weight with
those of the Opposition who are willing to cease
temporary chickering's in order to beat down Black
Repubicanism
PETER TURNEY Esq, of Franklin county was next
called cut. Mr. 7. said he would not detain the
meeting with speech. He responded to the call
in order to return the heartfelt thanks of the De-
mocracy of Franklin to the delegation for the
ner in which they had discharged the responsible
duties which had fallen to their !ot The Democ-
racy of his county ratified their action and would
ratify their nominations by larger majority than
has ever been given in that democratic stronghold.
Mr.. TURNEY eloquently appealed to every true
Southern man to come to the support of men whose
escutcheons were spoteless and whose principles
were in accordance with the rights of the south.
Gen. BATE, ofSumEer, the Democratic electOr for
the 5th District, was loudly called for. He prompt
ly responded, and in glow1ngly eloquent terms
WINGED his auditory that he went into the fight for
BRECKIRDGE and LANE with all the ardOr of his ma
tpre. He had principles he gould fight for, and men
he csuldfght for. No sISEe f1z,sr-as no doubtful
candidate. He ready for the struggle, and felt
that the voice of the people of his Congressional
District would unmistakably declare their prefer
ence for JOHN C. BRECKENRIDGE and Gen. 10. LANE
upon the platform adopted at Baltimore.
After the conclusion of Gen. BATE's speech I. B.
CHH.DREss, Esq, presented the following resolutions
to the meeting expressive of their views and they
were cordially and unanimously adopted:
Resolved l. That, although we deprecate all Sec
tonal organizations and all sectional agitation and
deeply regret the discord and division which
had taken place lin our party, the course pursued
by our delegates at the late Baltimore Convention
meets with our cordial and unqualified approval
ReSOlUed 2. That recognize the Convention
which assembled at the Maryland Institute" in the
city of Baltimore, on the 23d instant as the only
80,
and we hereby heartily approve and fully endorse
the Platform adopted by them as eminently patri-
otto, and democratic and as true exponent of tue
principles of the Constitution, as essential to the
preservation of the equal rights of the states and
! the perpetuty of the Union.
ReSolUed 3. That in John c. Breckenridge and
Joseph Lane recognize true, able and honest ex-
ponents of the principles of Democratic party-men
in all respects qualified for the high position for
which they have been respectively nominated by the
National Democratic" party at Baltimore. and
justly entitled to the cordial and earnest support of
every true Democrat and patriot.
ReSOIUed 4. That bin THE persons of John G. Brock
inrdge and Josepe Lane is presented to the country
in the present canvass for President and Vice Pres-
dent of the United States the only true representa-
tives of the National Democratic party, and the
only candidates having in their banner the true
principles of the Union, the Constitution, and the
equal rights of the several States and therefore,
we cordially invite the good the patriotic and Ma
llOnh uen OF AL pdfoS 10 lay aside ali former pre-
JUDGES and rally to their support.
Resolved 3. That it is the duty of every party
asking TO be Intrusted with the the control and
management of the Government to set forth to the
country the principles and ideas upon which it pro-
poses TO administer the affairs of the country; and
that view with distrust the intentions of any par
ty which seeks to obtain control of the Government
by Disgusting its principles under pretended love
for the Union, the Constitution and the enforce
met of the laws a'
After the adoption of the foregoing resolutions
the meeting adjourned. We can assure our distant
readers that the old Democratic watch-fres are
kndled The Democracy of Davidson are fully
aroused and cordially, enthusiastically endorse the
action Of our delegates to the Baltimore Convention
They will triumphantly respond to the calls of pa
triotism at the ballotbox. The people have conf
dence in the integrity and craftsmanship of BRECK
RIDGE and LANE. They have been tried in peace
and in war. Whether upon hostile soil or in the
councils of the nation, they have been found equally
true their countrys dearest interests.
During the day met with intelligent and nf1u
entail democrats from all the adjoining counties and
the universal opinion is that our ticket will receive
a larger vote than ever before. Here and there
we hear Of a few who would have preferred the
nomination of Mr.. DOUGLAS, but of none so fatally
bent on mischief to be willing to hand over tie
redeemed land of JACKSON to the mercies of JOHN
BELL. For every true Democrat there is but one
course to pursue. If Mr. DOUGLAS had been fairly
nominated his success in Tennessee would have been
doubtful but under the existing circumstances
none so mad as to believe that he can carry Con-
gressIonal District in the State. What Democrat
then is willing to benefit the Ignorers by withdraw
ing his support from Mr.. BRECKrRIDGE? Friends,
the first gun has been fred let there be no rest until
the setting of the sun on the first Tuesday of No
vember next.
