Mr.. LEyERETT SALToNsTALL, who is under
stood to favor the election of the Consfltu-
tional Union tickrt, we don't know what in
the world our neigbbor of the Union and Anaer
,eqn would do for a little thunder to hurl at
things in this canvass. II seems that Mr..
LEvERETT SALTONsTALL, who, as far as heard
from. is not candidate for anything in par
ricular, and has nohody's faith pinned to his
sleeve. has recently written a letter, or made
spe, Oh. or done something of that sort. In
which he said something or other about the
political questions of the day, which the
Union and AMERICAN thinks ought to knock Mr..
EvERErT's chances for the Vice Presidency
into what is popularity called cooked hat.
If we Look at the thing from the same point
of view that our neighbor does, and through
the same Brazilian pebbles that lend their
generous assistance to his eye-sight. it would
appear that Mr.. SALToNsTALL is the oracle of
the Union party. and that his sanction of a
principle engrafts it upon the platform of
that party, and causes it to freeze there with
tenacity that would make Spalding's Pre-
rarpd Glue tremble for the security of its
laurels- Ahout three times week the
Union and American. looking around for wea-
pOns of defense. spizes the convenient SAL
ToNsTALL bv the heels and hurls him with the
strength of an enraged infant into the face of
its foes IF Mr.. SALTONSTAII had encountered
severe attack of the measles and died when
he was baby. it is painful to The sensitive
mind to contemplate the condition the CEN
fral organ of the Breckenridge Democracy
in Tennessee would have been left in. The
Union and American has never wanted for
brickhats to fight with in any former Presi-
DENTAL contest that has TRANSFERRED since that
journal came upon the stage; but in the pre-
sent Struggle it has nothing but SALToNsTALL
1t moulds SALToNsTALII into bullets. into
grape-shot and into cannon-balls; it hammers
him into swords. spears. pixies. javelins and
havnnpts; the walls of its citadel are bristling
with SALToNsTAIL.. and from every port-bole
pours a stream Of SALTONsrALL into the ranks
of the laughing foe. IF something don't
turn up to throw an additional stock of
ammunition int the hands of the Union
and American. we fear. that when it has ex-
hausted its supply of SA.ToNsTALI., it will be
forced to raze its Notifications and take
to the mountains. Cling. then. o naighbor,

Tie BHrsz = One day last week Gov. HAR-
RIs got on the Chattanooga Railroad and
went up to Murfreesboro- While in that city
he stepped over 10 the Court House and made
speech, just for the fun of the thing In
that speech he handled Mr. Bell with much
severity. having taken off his gloves ex-
pressly for that purpose. That speech Is The
subject of the leading article in the Ba,uer.
Our contemporary thinks very hard of the
Governor for quitting bis comfortable ouar-
tiers In the SOUTHEAST corner of the Capitol
and entering the itinerancy against the cause
Of the Constitution and the Union. The Ban-
ner seems to be of the opinion that the Gov
ernor is not paid three thousand dollars a
year. victuals and clothes inclusive, for that
sort of work. -For our part. If Governor HAa-
RIs wants to make Breckenridge speeches
around the country, we are willing for him to
do it.. We can't, for the life of us, see what
harm it will do. 1t certainly won't do our
party, nor the Douglas party INV harm and
