Jasper hiss lived AID moved and had
its being for ssventy-five years, but it
never hid a congressional convention
before. therefore 1t claims to be city Of
the first magnitude. Colonel John
Savage, the low-taK man or Warren
county, swas on hand seeking whom he
may devCurn with his thin argument on
the reason the S ate should Iepudia' or
"fcaie" her debt. He tried to shCw that
these bonds were fraudulent, and that
the State should not pay them, because
an &C. was passed saying thst they eorld
lot be sold at les- than one hundred
csnts on the dollar. He did not make q
single reasonable point; :uG was unable
to convince aEy one that heard him
ak tAat It wRs honest and right to steal
the money from the very hands OF the
specuiatoT. ] had rather bteak into a
mans hon e snd stest his money than
| rep.jiaie sn honest debt. D-rsey b.
Thomas will get g Dod mapy votes IN
the mOurtsin country in November
next, from the reason that he teaches
the doctrines OF pp1diation and Shefp
! kihtny1 There are Iots o. men Ii e DIR

to get all they Can and never pay o

with his c0BsJitt snts, renewing old

election; and in this latter part OF his

Hon. John II. Savage delivered q
two hour speech here to-day to about
two hundred aud fifty OF the good peo-
pie Of Bradley, in which he took occa-
sion to belabor and chsstise The r ,pub-
| iicsn party and our S ale government,
IN his own peculiar style, TO his own
| hearts content. The colonel is opposed
to reputation, but be is Of the opinion
that only about four millions of cur
State debt is valid and just, the balance
is illegal and ought not to be paid. He
wishes, hoWever, to have its leg llity
bestsd by the courts, and il il should be
declared valid, to levy tax and pay it
off at once. /, however, fad no one
who has embraced the colouel's peculiar
views on the vexed gu estion OF State
finances. His speech on this gu astion
vas simply bis printed circular in ex-
tense, anu ali VINO have read tnat knO W
what he said here to-day. His remarks
upon the eXtravs gauce and corruption
Of Giantism, and the evils OF oar ma
tiOnal banking System, were pointed
and timely. Toe Democracy of Bad
ley stand firmly By their nominees and
prir ciples.

BLOUNTVILLE, September 4.-OD
leaving Knoxville yesterday evening,
took passage in car which brought up
the country various kinds OF political
timber, consisting of HoD. d. NJ. Key,
| Msjor Psttibone and Governor Foote.
The latter two convinced me of the
truthfulness Of the "lion and the lamb." :"
It ls true that / did not see them "lie
down together" but am satiefisd from
their actions that such thing is not inn
possible, and that the lamb would be
perfectly safe; but in 1851, when that
old lion Was roaming through tue hill
country of East Tennessee, shaking his
shaggy name and roaring in thunder
tones, driving the lambs from their ;lds
1 H. l. L., Il
mountain, had that lamb, by chance,
have come his way, the land that klows
him now would never have known him.
| At MOrristoWn, Hon. VIM. M'Farlsnd
and Judge Randolph got aboard, and at
Greeneville Governor FOote was to en-
tighten the people to-day with regard to
their duties in the coming Presidential
contest. Ga leaving them, we gained to
our crowd Msjor Il h. Ingersoll.
At johnson City we were met by Mr..
Will Vance, of Union, who was ex-
pectipg a portion of the crowd, and who
has recently established first class ho-
tel iu Union, where the weary msy al.
ways find rest.
We came to this place this morning
where it was previously announced that
Key, Ingersoll and M'Farland would
address the good people. Q1ite large
crowd came from Union IN q train Of
hacks procured at the livery stable OF
Mr.. Massengiil. Many people have been
in town to-day, and all went away
well pleased. About one O'CLOCK
the crowd corgregated in the court
house, and Hon. William M'FsrIauC
I eing introduced by Colonel Geolg
Mcclellan, he,d the close attention D
the crowd for one hour, by placing be-
: fore them facts aud figures with regard
to the fraudulent transactions, upjus
LAVE, ard misruIe generally Of the party
in power. Hon. d. M. Key was theI
introduced, who spoke at length tC
the interested crowd, telling them
among other things, that he appeared
with q great deal of pleasure before
them; that he had always been proud
Of Sullivan county on account of hel
true Democracy.
Msjor IDgeTsoIl next made very
sensible and appropriate speech, VIII CT
the people appreciated. Mr.. lngersol
S good speaker, snos OF the bloody
shirt style, to arouse the pIeju6ices o
the prejndiced, hut on that style which
, arOuses the sympathies and better feel
ings of his hearers
: Colonel James White of Hawkins
county, next appeared, and made {
speech that will not soon be forgotten by
either Democrats or Republicans whC
heard him. TIE colonel is well posted
: and will surprise any one who hiss neve
} heard him speak. The cclonel shoulC
canvass East Tennessee.
