DEMOCRATIC MEETNG.-0n Monday night last /
large number Of Democrats assembled in front Of |
the Court house in this city to give expressions Of
approval Of the nominations Of Breckenridge and |
Lane.
The meeting was first addressed by Col. Jacob /
Miller, Of Hawkins county. He did not appear to /
make regular speech, but to give his Democratic |
friends an old fashioned Democratic talk. He re-
feFred 20 the present crisis the dangerous attitude
assumed by the Black Republicans, which if sue
cessfu must lead to the disruption of this Union. /
The only hope of the Union is in the triumph of Dem
ecFatic principles. He spoke well of s. A. Douglas
as a statesman and his past services to the party

around the standard Of Breckenridge and Lane. He |
passed high encOmlums upon the latter gentlemen
and pledged himself to give them cordial support
in the approaching canvass. The meeting was also
addressed in an eloquent and fOrcible manner by
W. II. Graves, Esq, and Col John H. Cr0zier, Of this
city. We regret our inability to furnish a synopsis
Of their speeches. The respectful attention given
by the meeting and the heartswelling cheers that
occasionally burst forth from the masses, gave I'M
mistakeable assurance, that the nominations Of
Breckenridge and Lane are received with enthusiasm
by the Democrats of East Tennessee.-RHorUlle
