A prominent Democrat and one Of the estposted |
men in Tennessee, says: We viii keep our powder
dry and ready for the conflict The political sky
is Frightening in old Sullivan There are few, and
only e,O DOUGLls-ites, and they are encouraged in
their course by the Rump party. They will soon be
asked to go for BELL"
We also get cheering news from Overton, from
good Democrat there, who says: "Tlie cause Of
B. and L. is prospecting finely. know of but one
DouG1As-ite in the northern part of this county.
There may be many who would like to vote for
DOuG1As, but they are not willing to throw away
their votes and lose the State for BELL Rest assured
that we win get as many, or more, Opposition
votes as we will lose Democrats for DOUGLAS in
OFertoh county"
From our excellent friend T., at Fiat Greek, we
are thus encouraged: Fight on, work On, just az
you have been doing for our glorious standard
bearers, and all will be well and on the 9th of No
vember you may listen for the tones of thunder in
which the Democracy of old Bedford will speak to
all factionists, whether BEI1eDoUGLAs or LINCOLN
ties. We will send you glad news as the smoke
clears away in the battle. Send on the UNION AND

son, GEORGE CAN'T and THOMAS McNEnLY, Esqs., at
the Democratic Barbecue in Hickman county, last
Saturday, was enc of the proudest successes for
Democracy ever known in that section. The speech
es were able powerful and soustirring, and the peo-
pie enthusiastic as they formerly were at the
high tide of the canvass. The fires are all burning
bright in old Hickman, and the flames are extending
to adjoining ccunties.n We are glad to hear such
good news from this and other points. Push on the
work"
A veteran, lifelong Democrat, writing for club
of ten subscribers at Montezuma, Tennessee, says
The people want to read your paper. Direct the
full force of your artillery against Mr.. BELL, who
has ever since the days of JACKSON been endeavOr-
ing to distract, divide, and then sub-diyde the Dem
ocratic party The people read the record Of
this tlme-worn enemy of JACKSON and Democracy, arc
you must air his public life so :hathis true position
if he has any, may be understood and believe i
the Democratic papers pursue calm and dispas
sionate course towards each other, that BKECKN
RIDGE AMI LANE will carry Tennessee by the larges
majority ever given for any Democrat. | sign my

A good Democratic friend writing for club o
twelve subscribers at BOone's HILL Lincoln county
very appropriately remarks: "The BELL men hay
attempted to pat what few DOUGLAS Democratther
were here on the back and call them good fellow:
until they have nearly all forsaken the fortunes G
DOUGLAS and are now all right for BRECKENRIDGE an
LANE. Look for what tell you, old Lincoln will
true to her ancient faith in the coming contest, an
go for B. and L.. the opponents of the time-honore
principles of the old JACKSON Democracy"
One of Kentueky's sterling Democrats, sending u
a club of twenty subscribers from Thompkinsvill
