We have received an address prepared by our old
friend H. NJ. Watterson and W. II. Carroll, and ad-
dressed TO the Democracy of Tennessee, in which
they declare their determinations 10 support Doug
las at all hazards and endeavor to make themselves
believe that Mr. Douglas is the National Democratic
candidate-that his nomination was fairly and hon
orably secured This will be difficult task in Ten
nessee. The Democracy of the fourth district will
ingiy stood by Col Watterson in his New York
speech, and had Mr.. Douglas been honorably nom-
natedad not the spirit of his friends shown their
determination to have no one but Douglas, and had
they have exercised spirit of fair dealing towards
Southern delegates and he been nominated, to-day
the Democracy of old Warren would have rallied
around his standard. But his friends in their ardor
have pushed his claims little too they have done
aite too much, have over-riden right, and now the
Democracy of the fourth district OF the State will
have none of him. Though thousand epistles were
addressed to them, they infexible as the rock
ribbed hills among which they dwell, and in every
true Democratic heart Bceckinridge and Lane have
a fixed abiding place.
Since the Convention we had hoped that Gel
Watterson would have seen his error and if not
willing TO make amends, at least suffer his errors to
have passed off quietly. For him have the great
est personal respect; and in all caudOr we say to
him that in his persistent adherence to Mr.. Douglas
he has suffered himself TO misrepresent those who
empowered him delegate.-McN nnUiLe Nelo

The rapid increase in our circulation is both graf
flying and encouraging. When we see that our
friends throughout the State taking interest
in charging the sphere of our usefulness, by in
creasing the number of subscribers inspirts
to more vigorous efforts in the good cause. The inn
portanee of the present campaign to the Democracy
cannot be too much overrated Its result will have
great effect upon the State elections of 1861 Let it
be remembered that the next Legislature has the
disricting of the State. Let not permit another
