Extracts from orr Business Corrsspon-

friend writing from Andrew Chapel, Vest Ten
nessee, says 'HkEcEnnDoE and LANE are gaining
ground in this county every day; and the Oppozi-
ton, both wings are coming over to US by scores to
support the principles Of the tirne-Onored Demoe-
racy all parties now see these principles are the
true policy of the Government have talked with
great many well meaning but nlislnEormel Demo-
Gratis who do not believe DOUGLAS is in favor of
Squatter Sovereignty and they declare they will de-
sert him if convinced of that fact; and many of
them desert him as soon as assured Of his hereay.
There are hundreds of patriotic tried and faithful
Democrats in West Tennessee who are determined
never TO be sold to the BELL Opposition to be drag
ged at his chariot wheels to grace his triumph over
the JAcKsoN-POLK Democracy. They are anxious to
fight for the Democracy, and they win not fight
against them when posted as to the designs of the
Opposition. All we ask is a fair and honest discus
sion Of the principles and Platforms and our men,
and we viii whip out all the elements of Opposition
that can be brousht against us.n
friend writing from Sharon, Tenn, says The
UNION is the thing for the canvass Gov. HARRIS adj
dressed the people of our county on the Sd in most
telling effort giving entire satisfaction to all except
the Ringers Many heretofore little disafeeted
are now with us deter mined to go for BREcKINRIdE
as the of the times, and the only one that en-
beat the double-aced Opposition"
A Democrat at Blountvine says: ''BREoK and JoE
are gaining ground daily. WHIT dashed TAYLOR
through this Congressional District most unmercl-
fully, and he has him doDn and TAYLOR knows ana
feels it. DR.. A. N. HARRIS gave the BELLfDoVeLAs
Sub-Elector fine drubbing the other day and VIII
repeat the dose wherever they speak. Al working
wen here in Upton"
From good Democrat at Livingston we learn
:. BREcK1NRDGE and Lane firmly believe, will get
SO out of every 100 Of the Democracy Of this eoun
ty and cannot doubt but thatthe DOUGLAS strength
will dwinlle to a shadow by the election day. Send
on the UNION AND AMEalcAN as we need its help"
A good Democrat writing from DyersbuTg, Tenn.
saws: "There are bntfew DoUGIAs men in tins county
and we are gaining daily on the BEII-DoUGLAsITEs
so that by the day of election BRECKENRIDGE, in my
opinion will Eot lose single reliable Democratic
vote.
A good friend at Brickmill, Tenn, writing for tn
paper adds: "Your paper is dong our cause NOR
good than any one could imagine. Our prospect

democrats here The Ringers pretend that the,
are favorable to DOUGLAS, but it is all pretens
We will reduce the Opposition majority in thi
county,
From friend residing in Middle Tennessee, nov
in East Tennessee, we learn that " the general OPP
Mon is that WHIT. is too much for TAYLOR. Tn
Democracy are delighted with him, and you ma
look out for gains wherever he speaks"
We learn from good Democrat at Mooresb1r
that " the DOUGLAS men are dropping into line, an
by election day BREcK. and LANE viii get every tru
Democrat They are opposed to being sometime
pig and sometimes puppy. They are for the ancier
principles of the Democracy as enunciated by JEI
PERSON, JACKSON and PoKK, and now contended fo
by our glorious standard-bearers, B. & L."
From one of the true faith in the Democrat
family we are pleased to learn follows from Asl
land City, Cheatham county: ." In our parts DEM
cratic success was never more certain. Ispeak TIL
! knowingly, not from hearsay. The BELL tactic
are spluttering t.rribly about disunlon, and tn
: treatment of Mr.. DOUGLAS. DOUGLAS is might
somebody in their mouths cant say whether it e,
tends further down or not but it is no go with on
old Democrats. They won't bite atno such bait"
