Afriend'writes from Marshall county: sThe cause

of the country. We are going to have grand rally
and torch-light procession in Pennington to-mor-
row night. Cur gallant standard-bearer for this
district GEO. CAN'T, together with S. H WHFr-
TIHoIaE ScUBDER, MYERs and Others viii be there
to rouse up the old feeling of Democracy. 1 see you

the cause of the purified Democracy. In this part
of the county we bavea prominent man, whose in

A gentlemansend us club of subscribers from
Overton county, says: THE Democrats of Overton
are proud of their standard bearers in the Presi-
dental race. We recognize in BREckISRIDGE and
LANE the true opponents of the principles of the
Democratic Party. 1t is true, DOUGLAS had some
friends this region before the meeting Of the Con-
vention, but when they saw with what unfair
means his friends sought to obtain his nomination
by the rejection of the regularly appointed dele
gates, they then endorsed the action of EWING and
the other Tennessee delegates who withdrew. Be
suFed BRECKINRIDGE and LANE viii get the full Dem
ocratic vote of OvertOn. The Opposition vote of
this county viii not be large it has been hereto
fore, as have heard several leading men of that
party declare their intention to support BREcKIH-
RIDGE and LANE.
A Democrat writing as from White county, says
that "many of his Opposition neighbors say that
BELL and EVERETT stand no chance in their opinion
to be elected and that they think it best for all
hands to go for BREcKINRIDGE and LANE; and that
they, many of them, want the true doctrines as
taught by the UNION AND AMERICAN"
Our good Democratic friend, w, writing from
Okalona, Miss, for more Democratic documents,
says: @sThere are but few DOUGLAS men here We
have just hsd grand BRECKDRIDGE and LANE rati-
fcation meeting, and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed BELL and EVERETT are nowhere"
The most cheering news reaches US from the
Mountains and throughout East Tennessee. A friend
"a good Democrat, true and trusty-writes us that
"the work goes bravely on for B. and L. We had
glorious ratification meeting at Smithvile last Sat
urday 1t was one Of the grandcst meetings l ever
saw in country town. The notice was short but
the crowd large and long, and all for BRECKN-
RIDGE and LANE. Send us more papers. All o. K,
for B. and L. in the Mountains
A friend writing for subscribers at Blandville
Kyy says: your paper is what we wanthere. Its
doctrines and its cash system just the things
like We are all for B. and L. Go right ahead for
Kentucky and Oregon"
A gentleman, one of the most thorOugh-going and
well informed Democrats of Giles county, writes
saying BREcKNRIDGE and LANE will get the entire
Democracy of this section. The Opposition are ma
king great many false assertions, and doing all
they can to aid and induce Democrats to go for
DOUGLAS, but verify believe DOUGLAs viii &c down
as low as MARTIN VAN BUREN,
A hitha4to strong and influential BELL man, says ;
AZ tell you Tiers are many of BELLS former friends
and supporters that have come to point where they
are stepping to consider. They are anxious to do
their duty to the whole country and some of them
tell me they will support BREcKINRIDGE and ZANE
believing that their construction of the constitutions
as enunciated their platform of principles, Is the
true policy of the whole country They further tell
me that they are disgusted with the evident alliance
sought to be brought about between the BELL and
DOUGLAS men. They regard this no time for Jug
Cling for party purposes"
If all the Opposition men would talk thus patriot
I Tho Of
ment might be unanimously adopted and carried out,
and all factions De brought " an end.
ADemoeratic friend-s full measured Democrat
sending US club subscribers from Gadsden,
West Tennessee, dscourses thus BELL and DOUGLAS:
s'We intend doing our whole duty for BREcENRIDaE
and LANE Judging from the hypocritical pretensions
of the selfstyled constitutional Union party, BELL
has but few Friends in this section for notwithstaad
ing they once denounced DoCGLAs and Squatter Sow
ereignty in unmeasured terms, yet so soon as he
takes bold stand upon this old hated thing he be-
comes in their estimation. marvellous proper man
for the Democracy to support. 1t is really amusing
to see these hypocrites sitting around little villages
of evenings advocating DOUGLAS but never mention
ing the name Of BELL, unless called out by some
Democrat. Well, let them go on they win over do
the thing. Democrats with DOUGLAS proclivihes will
soon discover they have fallen in with strange bed
fellows-they will soon begin t. reflect that the
Opposition never advise the Democracy to any
thing that is for the good of the party-they will
soon that they giving aid and comfort to the
Ignorers,' and spurn with contempt their lauda-
tions and professed sympathy, and take bold stand
for BRECKENRIDGE, LANE and the Constitution"
