harmless, but forms one of the most

The Evening Star says, editorially:
"The canvass for the governorshIp of
Tennessee, from all accounts, is going
on as peacefully as BELTS the relations

who have been wont to consider the
rough mountaineers of that state as a

their opinion greatly modified by this

The press of the district appears to
be unanimous and hearty in their sup,
