The gallant Volunteer State
takes the Cincinnati movement at
the first hop. The democratic
Convention which met in Nashville
On the 9th, pronounced against the
proposed democratic nomination,
and declared in favor of Greeley
and Brown. We are pleased that
the Tennessee democracy have had,
and exhibited the boldness to take
the Baltimore bull squarely by the
horns, and protest in The name o.
the people against its alliance with
the Grant party.
Gen. Jno. G. Brown was NOM
mated by acclimation for re-elcc-
ton.
Gen. Quarles, and Jno. N. Elem
ming, was appointed electors fer
the State at large.
Tennessee leads the grand ma
