Gentlemen ofMe Wake Guards

Gentlemen of the Wake Guards:
Permit me to present to you this small token of
the regard which is entertained for you, and the
great interest felt for the cause III which you have
enlisted, by the daughters of Wake. l am proud,
yea, more than proud, to see so many of our noble
and brave men ready to volunteer TO take up arms
in the defence of our beloved country. We all
know its present awful condition. What can be
more noble in these young men, than to go forward
and do their duty, as they have done? Nothing
Does it not show their patriotism their devotion to
the land which gave them birth Yes, and how
ready should the weaker sex be to encourage them
Our hearts and prayers shall go with you. We arc
not able to play the soldier like men, but VIC are
ready to bestow our means in assisting you and if
need be, to administer to you the field of battle,
when sick wounded. We shall pray daily for
your success in conquering our enemies. / am sure
1T was never designed by Providence that the fanat
ical hordes of Northern Abotionists should con-
quer and subject us to their rule No, indeed, the
very idea is preposterous-and | am certain that
such noble volunteers as those who now stand be-
fore me, are fully competent to conquer and crush
such towards. Indeed, before they should conquer
US, our noble women, forgetting their weakness and
wonted timidity, would rush to the battlefield
Volunteers, you will soon be called upon to fight
Be brave--be valiant-fght like men sworn to do or
die, relying upon higher power for success, and
victory shall be yours. You will soon leave u.s. but
we shall anxiously look for your return, crowned
with laures. 1t is sad to part with you, but when
we remember your mission, we bid you Go, in the
name of the Lord. Remember, that on your re-
turn glad hearts and glad eyes will greet you. But
if you shall fall by disease or by the shock of battle
remember that those whom you have left behind
will shed tears of affection over your graves and that
youwil live in their recollection as long as memory
lasts May Heaven smile upon you, and give you
success. - Is

|. If Maj. ". H Polk is ssaH right'' as the Ban.
ner says, why will be persist in running
counter to the evident and expressed will of
the people in continuing Gov. Harris in Officer
Ii he is for carrying out the programme of
Gov Harris, as it appears from the columns
of the Bonner, why should be be candidate
when be knows, or should know, that the peo-
pie Of Tennessee desire Gov. Harris to carry out
the ideas and programme he has already in
augurated? He and Gov. Harris, according
to the Banner, occupy common ground; aud
yet, his partisans discourse vehementiy
against our present Governor on the street.
We do not understand this. A man is either
for or against. What position of Gov. Harris
is Maj. Polk against? We must be either
flesh or fowl. We must either endorse Gov
Harris course, or we must object to it,
Which will we do? Gov. Harris has certain
ly done more than any other living man to
sustain the people of Tennessee in their on
ward march for independence, and we think
no higher evidence of our appreciation can
be given than returning him to the post be
has so worthily and satisfactorily filled.
Should private vanity, or the qualification of
a worthy, yet ill-tined ambition, interfere
with the onward march of our dearly bought
and unregretted revolution? The people OF
the State evidently desire Gov. Harris to con-
tinue in, his present position. He does not
desire it; but the expressed wish of the people
should ever control in these matters From
Carter to Shelby enc voice has rolled along,
gathering strength and volume, proclaiming
that Isham G.. Harris has filled the bill of the
peoples expectation. The cry has gone forth
forcibly, acknowledgement done thou
good and faithful servant" Who shall gain
say it? Who shall repress, who shall nullify
the popular edict. Spacious pretexts are
easily originated, eagerly caught at, and in
geniOusly applied, but at last, if we do right,
the will of the people has to be our law, and
it should be.
Let no leader in Israel endeavor to distract
the councils OF the Nation-let us stand to-
gether as band of brothers-let US work
shoulder to shoulder at the wheel, and when
the work is accomplished, and we are a free
and independent people, then we can afford
to differ-to quarrel in friendly way among
ourselves-but for Gods sake, have no quar-
rel SCORER. Thus, and in no other way. can
we dwell together as band of brothers.

one OF THE DENoNsTRATIoNs-Says the
Polk organ,
He (Polk) will conciliate them (the people
of East Tennessee) by demonstrating that
they have been deceived when told that the
people were sold out to Governor Harris-that
the freedom ofspeech and the press was gone
that no one was permitted to vote against,
or speak against. or in any manner question
the edicts vi King Harris, whatever they may
be.
This is an admission that the charges re-
ferred to are false and unfounded. Why, then.
should they be permitted to prejudice the
public mind against Gov. HARRIss Would it
not be the best mode of demonstration to re-
elect Gov. HARRIS and let his administration
prove how the people of East Tennessee
have been deceived

Col. PoIk,s Position.

The Banner gives Col. PoLK's position as
follows
He voted on the Sth of June for SEPARA-
TION and REPRESENTATION. He is in favor OF
the adoption of the Permanent Constitution
of the Confederate States by the people OF
Tennessee, on the 1st Thursday in August
next. He is for the most vigorous and eft
fective prosecution of the war for Southern
Independence, and opposed to any compro-
mise OF settlement short of the acknowledge
ment OF or independence.
And yet, one OF the reasons that he is
brought out against Gov. HARRIS is that he
can conciliate the traitors of East Tennessee
who hate Gov. HARRIS on account of his APP
proval of Separation and Representation. and
active cooperation with the friends of those
measures.
