the Union ticket will receive larger vote in

We had double dose of Democracy
here to-day. This being County Court day,
large number of people were in town. In

large Courtroom to the speakers, who
spoke from IL N. till p. NJ. We had six
Democratic speeches, and one Bell and EV-
errtt speech, three for Douglas and three for
Breckenridge. The Democratic papers have
told you that there were no Douglas men in
East Tenuessee--that the party are as unit
for the secession candidate-but it is not
true! Col. G. w Hall, one of the oldest and
most respectable lawyers in the State. first
addressed the people in lengthy and able
speech. He is Democrat of the Old School

of years-to use his own wOrds-but cannot
now lie still and see the country go to ruin
without raising his voice in warning. He
advocated the claims of Judge Douglas, and

can tell you the Democracy went home with

before. Then Mr.. I'll. G. Flagg, another

most rabid, hot-headed Democrat i'll the

came the mighty PeaoeU fansiiy, who, you
