Col WHITTHoRNE is not dead neither is he sleep
ing, the Opposition of West Tennessee can tes:i
fy Many of their speakers testify conclusively
The Democracy of West Tennessee are working in
the right manner. The last week has been glori-
Gus for them, they came out in large crowds to
hear Col. WHITTHORNE who has been filling his cleo
tOrial appointments without having yet missed
The Democracy are jubliant and proud of his vim
dIcstion Of their cause. Col. TAYLOR quit the can
vass at Covington and has gone home. Since that
time, quite a number of gentleman have taken his
place in the discussion with WHITTHoRNE for few
days, but is remarked that they do not try it the
second time. They all have some urgent business
that calls them home the next day WHITTHORSE had
the day to himself at Paris to large and respecta-
bic crowd Yesterday, Judge BRIEN came down to
try his hand. do net know how long he will stay.
WHITTHORNE meets with the most cordial greetings
ever accorded to any man in West Tennessee. The
Democracy say they never were in better hopes Of
carrying the State than now, and think they will
give here their usual majorities for BRECKENRIDGE
and LANE. WATTERsON the DOUGLAS Elector, has
never been with them. WHITTHORNE seems to be
standing the canvass finely and is in good health

AFrank Confession.

The Pairiot speaking of the visit of Hon. ANDREW
Ewing to New York for the purpose of canvassing
that State, says: "His heart is still in the right
place" As Mr.. Ewing was the Chairman of the
Tennessee delegation that "seceded' at Baltimore,
as he made the first motion in the Convention of
g SeeeSSionists y that nominated BRECKINRIDGE and
LANE, as he has been an ardent advocate of their
election the stump here in Tennessee, as he has
gone to New York for the purpose of advocating the
election of ticket partly composed of 'disauliOn
tsts" ~ we desire, as warm admirers of Mr. EwING
to return thanks to the Patriot for their candid
confession that his heart is still IN the right
place"
