extracts from our na.insss Corre.Pon-

one DoUGLAs Democrat in his district but that they
are alive for BREcxNREDGE and LANE. Such cheer
ing accounts reach us from every point and we say
to our friends everywhere let the good work go
eraFely on.
The following letter from an intelligent and able
Democrat at Gadsden, West Tennessee. explains and
speaks for itself. We hope all true Democrats viii

Al know of but one DoUGLAs man in this civirdis-
trict. and in the district in Gibson county adjoining
us there is not one. If you will look at the proceed
iues Of the DOUGLAS meeting at Jackson, published
in the West Tennessee (DoUGLAs) Rhig you can
learn the strength Of the DOUGLAS party in this
ty. for think they appointed them nearly all as
delegates to Nashville, and perhaps some few who
are BREcKINRIDGE men.
"Does it not come with a bad grace for these mer
to set themselves up as the true Democracy, sup
porting the regular nominee" when find the an
nouncement of their meetings, and the proceedings
thereof published nearly exclusively in Opposition
Journalist They sometimes talk about usages;
this at least must be new usage in Democracy.
Has it come to this-Democrsts must be forced to
read Opposition papers to learn how the Democracy
of the county are getting along? And stranger still,
these Opposition papers are urging Democrats to
vote for DoUeIAs as the regular nominee of TIE par

intelligence too much patriotism in the Democratic
party to be led off by such vile stuff.
"Do they suppose the people of Tennessee are
such fools as to frtter away their strength and suf
fer the State to be carried for that old political
gambler JoHN BELL, who has been on both sides of
every important measure agitated since he has
been in public life? And he is now the candidate
of a party made up of the tag end of all ismS,
with no other principles requirements than that
their candidate, If elected, will be sworn into office.
Mr.. BELL condecends to tell them that he accepts
the nomination with this understanding What else
does it amount to- when TO man can be President
until he swears to support the Constitution and ex-
ecute the laws! Hence their platform and BELLS
acceptance amount to nothing more nor less, than
that he will take the oath of Office if elected JMc'
