| The MurfreesborO' Nelcs thus speaks Of the Ma
tional Democratic candidates.
We are not only pleased but delighted with the
nominations. Our readers know that Gen Lane
was favOrite with very large portion of the
Southern Democracy as candidate for the presi-
denCy, before the meeting of the convention of
course they will consider him sound, safe, and well
qualified for the position TO which he has been
! signed
Many of our readers know that for two years
| past of all the names mentioned by our party as
candidates for the presidency the strong the well
| proportional. the mvincible Young Giant of Ken
| lucky, John c. Breckenridge was our first choice
! We preferred him above all others. We Of course
are highly pleased that he has been selected, and
soon he accepts the prOtfered honor, will with
pleasure place his name, with that Of the warrior
statesman Of Oregon, at the head of our paper, as
! the names of worthy statesmen for whom we are
willing to do battle until the election in November
We congratulate our friends on the result as some
thing better than we expected after the breaking up
/ of the Charleston Convention. They now have be-
fore them prospect Of success with platform OF
sound principles, openly avOwed, unequiyocal, and
of which no lover Of the whole Union, and the con
stItUtiOn that binds 1t, need be ashamed.
We requested TO call meeting in this city Of
the Democrats of Rutherford county, ON Monday
the 9TH Of July, to perform the pleasant and agree
able task of ratitying the nomination OF John &.
Breckenridge for the Presidency, and Of Gen JO
c. Lane for the Vice Presidency. Come everybody.
The Democrats of Bedford county are to have
grand ratification meeting at ShelbyviIe on Satur-
day. the 7ta inst ratify the nomination Of BRICK
INRIDGE and LANE. A friend writes The nOmina-
tons of BRECKENRIDGE and LANE have been enthusi-
astically received by the Democracy here, save
about a dozen"
The Memphis Avalanche says: 81 The enthusiasm
with which these nominations have been every
where received has exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations of their most ardent friends From al
sections of the South written and verbal assurances
of the rapidly increasing popularity of BRECKN-
RIDGE and LANE are daily received. Nothing is
needed now to insure success but Organization-or-
gauization in every State and county, and district
Let the friends of the cause everywhere, in town
and country hasten to perfect an organization that
will place them in complete working condition. The
DoUTIAs trumpeters have defeated themselves
already They see, and feel, and know, that they
will be pOwerless to control the rushing tide. They
cannot restrain the torrent, but will soon be COM
PEELED to bend to the blast which is wildly sweep
ing the South. The famous Mrs PATNGTON, who
was once seen in the midst OF a raging inundatiOn,
trying to sweep back the advancing waters of the
sea- has become an illustration of vain delusion and
hopeless folly. But Mrs PARTNGToS was indepen-
dent in comparison with those who expect to resist
the turbulent tide that will soon deuge the country
The old legions Of Democracy inspired with en-
thusasm. They have been disheartened and diss
couraged but the reaction has come. Again we
say to the embattled hosts, push on the column"
The GAINESVILLE JefsrSOniGn throws its banner to
the breeze inscribed with the names of BRECKNRDGE
and LANE, and says: These are the men presented
to the American people by the American Democracy
for their support. They are uaobjectionable in |
every respect-national patriotic, conservative de-
voted to the Union, and determined to support it
with the Constitution uuimpaired-able honest and |
true. Around such ticket, we feel confident the |
Democracy Of the country will rally and for it the
Democracy of the South will vote in solid column.
The Chattanooga Reflector up the flag of |
BRECkpRIDGE and LANE, and will give it a cordial 1
and enthusiastic support
