aeA- We regret tolearn that, at the Breckenridge
meeting, on Wednesday night, some one introduced
into the room villainous compound of bad odors
which rendered it very unpleasant to stay in the
house. The author, or authors, of such a dirty
trick out to be ferreted out and exposed, if not
otherwise punished; for such conduct reflects dis
credit upon the town. and subjects to suspicion par
ties wholly superior to such meanness As it was
Breckenridge meeting, that party will seize, with
pleasure, upon the occurrence, and charge it upon
the Union men as disgraceful interference. Gen
tlemen will acquit gentlemen of such conduct but
there are always men inscriptions enough to use

SEy- The followers of Yancey organized Breck-
inridge Club in this place, Wednesday night and
from the noise they made, there must have been
quite a crowd. The party is thoroughly organized
in this county, and their zeal in the cause Of dis
union rebukes the apathy of the Union party which
seems content to let their cause work out its own
salvation. This is wrong, culpably wrong; and
the Union men, in every district in the county,
should bestir themselves until thorough organiza-
ton is effected, and the position of every voter
known. A good cause is good start but truth, in
these days of fasehood and corruption is no match
for unless it be strongly backedup by zeal and
energy. Then we call upon the Union men of
Montgomery county to go to work in earnest and
keep on working. Follow the example of the Yam
ceyites in this respect but for Gods sake, in moth
ing else. Let it not be said that the of the
Union has suffered here, through the negligence
and apathy of its protested friends. Organize or

drawn from the race for the Presidency has subsi-
ded. His friends oughtto have remembered thathc
was nominated not to be elected, but to elect Lin

will keep cool should the report be revived hercaf

for copy of Ramsey's History of Tennessee. This
work has acquired too much reputation as a COM
prehensive, authentic, and well written history to
need commendatiou; and every Tennesseean who
desires to make himself acquainted with the settle
ment and progress Of his State, ought to buy and
read it, 1t is not dry compilation ofmered details,
but is replete with reflections and incidents which
impart to it no ordinary interest. Mr.. Lamb can
supply any demand, and we commend both him
and the book to the reading public.
