Tenrrssee Legislature the great and irwin.
chile Nasty left Confedert X Roads and
repaired to the lodgings of the Illustrions
AMY at the Maxwell house. The meeting
between this Damon and this Pythias had
s.stter not be described. 1t was very sffec
&oaate. spectator of the melting scene
says that The lllustrious "seemed some.
what excited. though he spoke calmly and
deliberately"
What he spoke of was my Policy" He
zarred Nasty las that steadiast companion

clcus pocketa familiar looking black bottle)
taat "My Policy" had received no mcdifica
taoa. II am" he said, "a constitooshunal
diuDocrat. l stand on the constitoOshun.
As to the aggressions made upon the consti-
racshun, l shall place myself equa1ely on
the great constitooShunal principles Of the
ehexnal dimmocracy. l shall advocate a
perfect unifcation Of all patriots on the
corstitooshun under the old banner of the
constit0Oshun. To the maintenance Of that
great landmark. which has ever been the |
susce of the dimocratic party through |
avery ordeal, My Policy shall be devoted" |
These words of assurance that INV Poll. |

90 ELL with deep and holy consolation the
aa,aeaous bosom Of the steadfast Nasty.
ts is but just to say, however, that in his
lIalic address to the crowd, the illustrious
ElSsnd Of Nasty gave utterance to some sen.
cnrents not quite compatible with the char
hftec OF the rock.rOOted and fOsslized Bour-
ods sradltlOn worshiper which, in his private
conversation, he declared himself still to be,
ete sGid, among other things that "party |
Hrtsrness and acrimOny have been indulged
asH Gao extensively" and that "the time has
come when men should rise above these
diKeFenoes and set them aside snd Two.
