A good Democrat, writing from McMInnvie, in
forms u.s. The signs are all right for BRECKNRIDGE
and LANE in old Warren county. DOUGLAS men are
few and far between, as speak adyisedly and have
good chance of knowing"
One of the tried Democrats of Meigs county, writ
ing for the paper, says Meigs is o. X for BRECK
& JOE. know of but two men in the county for
DOUGLAS and they are tfreetbids opposed to Democ-
racy."
That talented and consistent cid Democratic lead
er of the Tennessee Democracy formerly, now of
Texas, writes US from San Antonio, saying There
will probably be no DOUGLAS ticket, nor any for
BELL. and EVERETT in Texas. 1t is understood that
the two or three papers that keep up the name OF
HoUsToN, only do excuse for not hosting
the BELL and EVERETT banner The probabilities
before the election this State will be for BRECK
IxRIDGE and LANE unanimously.
One of our old subscribers at Lewisburg, says
: have missed your paper for three or four weeks
l have been subscriber for twelve thirteen
years, and / need it again to restore my political
health; like your paper and your cash system
and most of all your consistent and firm support
of the principles of the old true Democracy Go it
for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE, and let us whip out
BELL-DOUGLAs and LINCOLN factionists.''
That excellent Democrat, H., sending us another
large club from Jackson, West Tennessee, says
"We need the influence of your paper brought to
bear in our section, and it will do the work. We
are doing well here, fighting the BELL-DoUGLAsITEs
The DOUGLAs Democrats are growing beautifully
less every day. They have a meeting here to-day.
"a
of them BRECKENRIDGE and LANE, and BELL men. S.
MCCLANAHAN is speaking and he is the only one they
have here Your friend n. is getting you up anoth-
er club, notwithstanding the DOUGLAS party had him
and many other good BRECKENRIDGE men appointed
as delegates to their Convention. You know how
tricky they are"
J. X, our good Democratic friend at Huntingdon,
in sending for club of subscribers adds: Permit
me to congratulate the Democracy of the 9th Con-
gressional District l cannot be mistaken; firmly
believe that BRECKNRDGE and LANE will poll larger
vote much larger, than has been poled in this
District; and as for Carroll county, can assert
positively that the Democracy are unit with the
exception of some six or eight You may rely on
this statement being correct | have not hear done
say that he would vote for DOUGLAS IN the past
four weeks, that has been in the habit of voting the
Democratic ticket
A talented and influential gentleman, formerly of
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, now of Point Coupee La, gives
us the following good news from that region. He
says: "By the attention of some good friends re-
ceive regularly your paper-the weekly UNION AND
AMERICAN. 1t brings me the welcome news that our
sister State, Tennessee is wide awake and up and
doing. God speed you and your citizens in the good
cause of BRECKNRIDGE and LANE, our regularly nom
mated National Democratic Constitutional Union
candidates Let assure you the voters of Louisi-
ana are preparing in silence for the contest. and
when the time comes to do service she will give
larger majority for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE than
was ever given by her for such officers since she
came into the Union notwithstanding the statements
of those Southern men, but with Northern princi-
pies, ex-Gov. WICSLFFE, his highness DR.. CoTT,r,y
ex-Secretary EERROS and ex-senator SoUIE, bonus
members of the Convention and who wilfully for
got the number of Parishes in the State"
One of the time-hOnorCd, and long tried. and trus
ty Democrats of old Williamson, says to US in let
ter: Having been an observer of the actions of
Democrats in tbs county for years past we can say
of truth. that never have we seen them more loyal
to the great principles of the time-honored party
than now, and notwithstanding the BELLDOUGLAsites
are daily heaping euiogies on the Little Giant, we
viii increase the Democratic vote of this county 200
votes. We believe that sone Democrats whose pref
arences have ever been for DOUGLAS, would have
supported him but for the obvious schemes of the
Know Nothings to divert them from the true Ma
tional ticket. And while we grant that BELL and
EVERETT will maintain decided ascendency in the
county it is quite plain that former majorites will
be reduced. and we would add that could the Dem
ocrats in other counties like old Williamson, see the
trickery of the Opposition to seduce them from the
only legitimate course, the unanimity with which
Democracy would rally around the standard OF
BRECKENRIDGE and LANE would send Know Nothing
ism in the State of Tennessee bowling to its nightly
air.
