Do you expect to find customers for your stores
and workshops with the Free-SOil Of the North I
II not, are your sympsthies with them, 80 that
you are willing to sacrifice all to an alliance
with them, and cut yourselves eff forever from your
brethren Of the South whose interest it has hther-
to been to trade with you, but who will no longer
do so under separate and alien Government If
so, then do NOT vote for FOoTE, BURcH, MCCAIN,
and FLIPPH.
But if you feel ths the honor, destiny, and inter
ests Of Tennessee are in common with the gallant
States Of the Gulf any eUsnt then FoOTE, BURoH,

Virginia Election.

The Richmond Wing of Tuesday morning, in
speaking of the election says:
Our conscientious belief is, that no more than
thirty really preeipitstng candidates will be elected
to-day-and perhaps, the number viii be much
smaller; and we hope, also, that not a single Sub
missionist in the true sense of that word will be
honored with majority of the peoples suffrages
to-day. We expect to see elected vast preponder-
of fair minded, rational, conservative men, and
yet who, unless the North will agree to speedy
satisfactory and final adjustment of the issues in
troyersy. viii boldly unfurl the standard of resist
ance and resolve to stand fall out of the Union.
