A friend informs Us that the Democracy had a
gloieous rifcation meeting for B. and L. at Union
City Wess Tennesses few days since, at which
Messfs- ckRDwELL and HOWARD spoke boldly and
ably defending the true principles and candidates d
the national Democracy. After Col. CALDWELL read
Cen LESLIE COINS letter to tie Louisville Journal
thanking the -DouGI.As men for helping him, those
DOUGLAs men present came out and declared fo1
equal rights, and against the BEIIrDoUG1As fusion
here and elsewhere So, away goes the DOueEAs
strength in this region. They now cry, down with
DoUGLAs and BELL and up with the flag for BEEcE

a noble hearted Democrat writing for large
club Of subscribers at Macedonia, after speaking
of the brilliant and telling speeches CT ATKINS and
Travis, made in old Carroll county, says:
aTkey have happy influence with the moderate
conservative and reecting portion of our opposition
friends.
'The broad principle of equality in the Terrific
ries and protection to property is the true doctrine
and must and Will prevail. s.G ,s.l gas
srruth crushed to earth will rise again
'TSet old Carroll down down as sound to the core
We will lose few Democrats by the division in our
party, hut will more than make up the loss from our
Union friends, who are DESTROYS of sustaining their
equality in the Union under the Constitution
Push up the column of BRECKNRIDGE and LANE
[ One of the true Democrats of Stewart county,
writing us for Is of our papers, adds: = The
Democracy of the 9Th district in this county is q
unit for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE. Not DOUGLAS
Democrat can find in it. In the Club send you
the name of N. R, the widow of an old sol
der of the war of 1912, who has raised eight or
ten good Democratic boys. all voters for B. and l.
and she hates all Federalists and opposers of the
war of 1912, or of the Mexican war"
A sterling Mississippi Democrat of Macon, says
you may expect another club in few days. Our
State is good for BRECKENRIDGE and LANE, beyond the
possibility of doubt, over both BELL and DoUGIAs,
by 10000. B. and L. will carry every county in the
State over BELL, and BELL will beat DOUGLAS in
every county. The DOUGLAS State Convention here,
was as miserable an affair as it was in Tennessee!
They had to canvass the State by sections to get
ticket. A nice party, to talk about sectionalism!
They are nearly all Wings, and the true Democracy
will lose but few votes on DOUGIAsIsM."
q A good Democrat, writing for the paper for a
friend at Olympus, says: "The cause of BRECKN-
RIDGE and LANE is very fattering. though the oppO
stion using every means to create division in
the party on DOUGLAS but we fully understand their
trick. l know some men who, twelve months ago
said they would rather vote for SEWARD than DoUG-
LAS, that now say that DOUGLAS is very good man,
and they would vote for him rather than BRECKIN.
RIDGE. The documents are all we need to insure an
increased vote for our candidates"
A good Roane county Democrat, writing for club
of subscribers at Kingston, says:
HAn IS right in old Roane. DOUGLAS stock is fat,
with a downward tendency. he won't get five
votes in old Roane In fact, can't hear of but one
man in our county who is for him. and we think he
will 90 it for B. and L. The REIL-ites are rampant
for DOUGLAS And think he will get some of their
votes as they have fallen so much in love with him
that some of the unsophisticated will really i'm
agine that he is their leader, and vote for him. The
Democrats all see the trick. We are wide awake,
and intend to give them dose that will settle the
hash with their Abolition-Free-SoS uatter-Sover-
eighty Know Nothing chieftains, BELL and DOUGLAS.
Let the people see what BELL says about dsunionsm
IN his Compromise speech of 1850, and see how it
smacks with the sentiments of other dsunionsts of
the South. Let them see what FILLMORE said in his
Rochester speech, in 1856, about disunon. We want
them to see what their leaders have said, before
they hollow out that BRECKENRIDGE is a disuniOnist
when they can't find a single word that he ever
uttered that savored in the slightest degree of dis
union. Hold them to the record, and see how the
CALLED jade will vince Keep up the fire"
A Tennessee Democrat, now resident in the city
of New Orleans. writing for \ CLUB OF I,2OO,
says to the true Democracy of the nation. through
us
There never was anything claimed by the op-
positionIsts, more absurd than the claims of the
BELLIES and DoUGLAsTEs to carry Louisiana against
the Democracy. We will beat the BEIL-DoUGIAs-
ITEs combined not less than 5 900 votes"
That's the way to act and talk That's suiting the
action to the lcoTd If Democrats and patriots would
but do duty every where else after that STYLE truh
would spread till the true principles of Democracy
would overcome all factions and factiOnists, and
the doctrines of equal and exact justice TO all
exclusive privileges to none'-the equality of
the States, and Constitutional Union, would be as
lasting as our granite hills, and the love of those
principles as deeply imbedded in the hearts of the
people, as are the foundations of the mountains.
Push on the good work, and the Democracy will
gain another of those victories that have been the
glory of our nation-for country is indebted to
Democracy for her greatness and prosperity, and
none of our bitterest opposers Except such can
only make false charges) pretend to attack cur
platform of principles, gallan: and patriotic
standard bearers.
friend writing for the pape- at Crockett Texas,
says:
"BRECKNRIDGE and LANE will carry this State by
at least 10000 majority-not one DOUGLAs man to
be found in this county, and but 4 BELL men.
SAN HoUsTON will decline the race. But should he
run it through it is impossible for him carry more
than twenty precincts in the State"
Similar greetings come to us from other points
in Texas.
