An old Jackson. Tennessee, Democrat, now Of
Mississippi, writes from Raymond, saying I" am
now as 1 ever have been, for my country, right or
wrong. VIII cid Tennessee go for B. & Ii think
shewill, as surely as Mississippi, and Mississippi
viii go as surely as the rises in the east by TO-,
600 majority DOUGLAS has no chance here al
though the BELL men are doing all in their power to
cause split, but that game viii not win. Tell US
what old Tennessee will do
"Let the Democracy of Tennessee all work forour
principles first, last and all the time This is my
motto while live. Admonish our friends to pre-
sent solid front and battle for the great first prin-
ciples of our fathers; for that is worth our
highest pride is worth coAtending for"
We assure our Democratic friends in Mississippi
and elsewhere, that Tennessee will go for BREcKuN-
RIDGE and LANE by decided majority over all the
factions warning upon our glorious cause.
An estimable friend and working Democrat
writes from Celina Tenn, saying "The UNION AMI
AMERICAN is a sure antidOte against the poisonous
matter that emanates from the Opposition presses
hence always want some extra numbers in a can
vass to distribute around, and it always works re
formation politically. B. and. L. will sweep this
section like an avalanche. Shortly after the nom-
nations DOUGLAS had few supporters, but after the
sober, second thought, they've all wheeled into
rank for B. and L., as bound to believe the Ma
tional Democracy North and South will do, for the
support of the only true opponents of the time
honored principles of the old JEFFERsoNIAN, JACKSON
IAN Democracy"
Alife-time Democrat sending US large club Of
new subscribers from Kingston, adds: I" The Demo
cratic cause is progressing well. Actuated by a
proper spirit, every Democrat has gone to work in
good earnest. have travelled over large portion
of the county, and have only seen three DOUGLAS
CorrON KILLED BY HEATED AR.-We learn, says
the COvngton (Ga) Times of the 18th instant, that
during the gale of Thursday last Judge PAGES plan
tatiOn visited by heated air. known in tropical
climates as "Simoon," which is often destructive to
animal, as well as vegetable life. The passage was
confined to scope of one hundred yards in width,
killing the cotton prominent points where it
touched the ground. The cotton presents the ap-
peGrance of having been scorched with fire, the
leaves being perfectly dry in 80 minutes sitter the
storm. This is rather singular phenomenon for this
latitude, and doubtless is the first instance re-
cord of a Simeon wind passing through Middle
Georgia We have heard of several plantations
where cotton was killed in the storm.
A good Democratic friend, writing for the Tri-
weekly at Trenton, West Tennessee, says: THE De-
mocracy of this county is now about all right
for BREcKINRIDGE and LANE. Our ratification yester-
day, (23d,) was grand demonstration of true Dem
Ocratic sentiment in this county, in behalf of the
heroes, patriots and statesmen, BRECETNR1DGE and
LANE. You may rely upon it. Gibson county will
give good account of herself in November next"
Our friends at Gadsden, West Tennessee, are still
at work in the true cause of Democracy. One of
them writes US, saying: in addition to the twelve
subscribers / sent you last week, l herewith send
you six more, with the cash. Wherever the UNION
is read by the people we find healthy Democratic
sentiment and feeling. DOUGLAS men are few around
here, though, l am sorry to say, in some parts of
our county there many; but as far as learn
BRECKNRDGE and LANE are gaining ground daily.
The "OppOsitOners" trying to make the DOUGLAS
TIES hold on but they have already carried the joke
took far and they (the DOUGLAS mem begin to think
there must be something wrong, when the only
plaudits they receive are from their old enemies. 1
heard those bold champions of Democracy, ATKINS
and TRAVIS at the ratification at Brownsville the
other day. They doing noble service in our
cause, and the people were out by thousands to
hear them. The ball is in motion, and it will move
steadily on until victory is ours

4 friend at Morganton, Bount county, says
:" There are few but Democrats in this part of the
country, but they are all for B. and L. don't think
there is DOUGLAS Democrat in this county; if there
is have not been able to find him."
In a letter, sending club from Cuthbert. Ga, our
friends add "The Democrats here are all for b. and
L. Only IL DOUGLAS men in Randolph, l in Quit
man, and 3 in Clay county. Several of the most in
iuential BELL men are out for BRECKENRIDGE and
LANE. The ball still keeps rolling"
An old wheelhorse in the Democratic team, wri-
ting from Mt Vista, says: Z" l send you Htirty-sir
new subscribers to your weekly paper. Old Henry
is waking up, and everything Is right side up for
and LANE. Since BRECKINRIDGE'S letter
Of acceptance laying squatter sovereignty and
slaVe-cOdeism in the shade and adopting the Con-
stitutonal PLATFORM giving equality and fair deal
ing to all, everybody is for B. and l..
A friend writing from White county says: All
hands are for B. and L. You may look out for a
good account from old White this year. This club
mrkes rs ! have sent you. The good work goes
bravely on" That is right friend P. circulate the
true doctrines and let the people read and act.
Another Letter frsIa Levorets SoItOnstaII.
The following letter, says the Salem Issue, has
,een received by a gentleman in that city in re-
ponse to a letter addressed to EDWARD EVERETT in
luiring whether he would endorse the resolutions
adopted and laid down platform by the Union
Convention that met there on the 9th and 2Sth

adopted resolutions favoring the doctrine of Fed
