' Tennessee Politics The canvass for Gov ernor, Members of Congress, and tbje State Leg islature, ike. in this State, is very warm. Messrs.

Ailin! and Andrew Johnson, both Locjos, are contesting for this district the Whigs have no candidate? but will support Mr. Aikin, who an 4ounced himself in the Knoxville Register, a Whi p per, against the interdiction of the Loco Convention which nominated Mr. Johnson. Mr. Aikin declared himself at the same! time and in the same paper, in fa vor of a. National Bank Mr. Aikin's election s considered quite sure; and the Bank question is the main one jor which the Whigs of Tennessee are again Contending.

Gales j& Seaton : I hope you will not allow yourselves to be discouraged as regards our prospects in this State for 1844 by the result of the recent election. The first district, as now constituted, and which has just elected Mr. Sli dell to Congress, has always been Locofoco, ex cept in 1840, when it gave a small Whig major ity, but in the contest for Governor in 1838 for Mr. Prieur, and again last yearforMr. !MocTOX, it went against us ; in the former case by a larger majority than now. In the present contest, for the tirt time with us, the enemy have adopted a regular system of making foreign votes,1 and from five to six hundred of that class have been nat uralized within the past few weeks to find which number, particularly at this season of the year, they have raked arid scraped the highways and byways, the streets!, alleys, lanes, and gutters of the City, and with all these means, and with an apathy on the part of the Whigs which we could not overcome, Mr. Slidell's majority in the district is less than four hundred. In the second district the apathy has been even greater, and not even half of the lull vote has been polled ; our candidate, Governor White, is defeat ed by a small majority. The apathy has exceed ed all belief ; in lb 10 the Whig majority in this district was 1,900, and now the aggregate tote of both parties will njt exceed 2,000 ! The third district has always been hopelessly Locofoco, and Mr. pAWsoN of course is re-elected, and we prefer him to any other man of their party. The Locos poast much of chances for suc cess in the fourth district where thevare running a very popular Creole ( Mr. Bossier) against Mr. Mooue, and shall not be su prised if he succeeds, as party trammels hang very loosely on our Creole Whigs, where tha; question conies up, and you have on more than one occasion, seen our Legis lature with a decided Whig majority elect a Loco foco Creole Senator against an American Whig' cent events fresh before us, Whig to the core, and in 1844, a cause and a candidate that T Tt . i 11 . t w ith an the re Louisiana is Whig, when we will have shake Loeofocoism to the four winds which the officehold This1 is the in the best of at least may r r j - n, Whig ; no not think ei- all doubtful ; Whiff : Frederic P.

The manner in ers (Federal and State) work ed in the late contest exceeds all former prece dent. None were too high and hone too low to take each in their proper sphere the full share oi labor, and a large number of the most active and influential were thus appointed under the late and previous Whig administrations of the State ; for whilst the present Executive carries out to the ex treme the doctrine (of political proscription in all his appointments, the Whigs, kind souls, have generally filled their offices with a full share of their enemies, and lerily they are how receiving their reward.

At the Whi? Celebration of the Anniversary in thej City and County of Philadel phia, the following appears among the published proceedings : j Prior to the adjournment the following Keso late National by James S. ! Wallace, Esq the most unbounded acclama- lution was offered and carried amidst tion : " Resolved. That the Whig's of Philadelphia tender an invitation to the Whigs of the Whole Union to meet in preat Mass Convention on the 4th of July, 1844, at Independence Square, in the City of Philadelphia, to respond to the nomina tion of the National Whig Convention." We trust this inlvitation, issued by the Whigs of Philadelphia to jthe Whigs of the Union, to respond to the nomination ot the Whig National Convention which meets at jBaltimore in May next, will be circulated from Maine to Florida, from the Atlantic ko the Oregon.! We are all aware of the influence which the Mass Conven tion at Baltimore in 1840 had upon the Whig party; associations were there entered into, friend ships formed, correspondences arranged, opinions interchanged, and promises given; which acted as the bond and cement of the entire Harrison par ty throughout the Union. It was the first giant impulse given to the; avalanche of 1:340 ; the tirst "roil of the ball" wtiich crushed Locofocoism in its onward course ; jthe Lexington; of the moral and political revolution of the people against their taskmasters and oppressors 1 extended m uabouRded cor. it will be accepted in the We ask our the invitation is dial it y, and we trus same spirit of fraternal kindness Whijj brethren of the Press to be bearers of the request which Philadelphia City and County makes to the Whigs of the Union; and to pro mulgate through their columns that every ar- toade lor their raiiijement will be convenience. Come one, come all us ratify anew those bonds of amity which treachery has been unabie to sunder, and which time can nev er impair ! Phila. Forum. MODESTY ! The follow ir is the concludincr comfort and and here let and kindness paragraph of John Tyler's letter to the Loco Focos of Phila delphia, which was read at the late party cele bration of the Fourth in that city.! I It is only re markable for its extreme modesty : The principles ijipoa which I stmtl continue n at the head o f the Govern- rom the great blxan School hand it lor this abure, I eSwll to act, while remai ment, are those which are derived teacher in the Repu! I shall continue to be the obiect if console myself wi-jh thP reflection, that the DISCITLE SHOULD NOT EXPECT A FATE D1FFEBEXT FKOM THAT OF HIS! MASTER. In I HIS DAY AND GENERATION NO MAN WAS MORE VltLIFIJED THAN f HE AUTHOR OF THE Df.CLAKATION OF INDEPEN DENCE, WHOSE LI3UPLE I AM I ! IV INGRATITUDE OF THE WHI03. W notice that several of the V hig pregses haYie been denouncing Mr. Calhous in no very choice terms.' This is very ungrateful, to say the least of it. Probably there is no man out of the! Whig ranks to whom jthey are as much in indebted for efficient services as Mr. Calhoun. Was it not he who exposed the corruptions of Mr Van Buren's ad minis! j-ation, ( and proclaimed to the country that his party was " the Spoils part)1, without principles and without policy, and htfld together by nothing but thej hopes of plun der!!" Did he not denounce them! as " rogues andjroyaliiis," and their leader las jbelonging to the J fox and weasel" tribe 1 Did he did not prove the falsity of the! charge of Federalism against the Whirc, and defend their name ? 1 He said " it was at last an honest and pa'riotic name.-- is synony mous to resistance to usurpation usurpation, come from what quarter and under what shape it Government may ; whether it be that from the upon on the Legislative department." the risrhts of the States, or the Executive I - D - ! i further and said that the name Tory was proper ly applied to the Locofoco party. 19 his lanua-f : " What is there He even went in The following in the mean the charac their sudden itude in the ing of Whig and Tory, and what ter of the Times which has caused revival as party designations at this tjme T I take it that the very essence of Toryism that which constitutes a Tory is to sustain prerogative against privilege -o support the Executive against the Legislative Department of the Government, and to lean to the side of power against the side of liberty ; while the whig is, in all these partic ulars, of the very opposite principle!. These are the leading characleris ics of the respective par- i i i i ties, w:hig and tory, and run through their ap plication in all the variety of circumstances in which they have been applied, either! in thiscoun trv, or Great Britain." j - v - Is it not then the basest ingra Whigs to denounce him? But it is only a no' her melancholy evidence of how sooh fivors are for gotten, while injuries are written, as it were, with a pen of steel upon tablets of brass. Out upon you ! ye ungrateful Whigs. ' j JOHN c. calhoiJn! A writer in the Macon (Ga ) Messenger tljus traces the political twistirications of the 'Aich Nullifier." If ever man boxed the poinical com pass,' Mr. Calhoun is that man.i The truth' of evefy assertion contained in the J statement be low can be established from the Indubitable tes timony of the records of the country. " Jn 1816, the god-father of a protective tariff- in 1832, the advocate of Nullitkatibnto overthrow it In 1833, the supporter of the Compromise act in 1841, the violent opponent of it In 1816, the advocate of a National Bank in 1834, pro posing to extend its charter Li years in 1838 and 1841 denounced it as unconstitutional In 1816, the advocate of a system of Internal Im provements in 1819, the moving spirit, that breathed life-into it in 1832, the (jlenouncer ot it, as' entailing all the evils ofthe Tariff in 1843, again its advocate In 1836, the advocate of dis tributing the proceeds ofthe sales of the Public Lands among the States, and the author of the scheme in 1841, the reviler of the scheme as uncpnstitutwia I In 1842, the advocate of the proceeds of the public lands being continued in theiTreasury, as the only constitutional mode ot application in 1834 the author ofthe proposi tion! to take them from the old States, and to cede them to- the Staies in which th'y lie In 1810, the author ofthe proposition to appropri ate jthe bonds of the United States Bank to works of Ihternal Improvement in 1840, ihe reviler ot those who voted for his proposition In 1825, the proud boaster of his great services tin giving be ing Ito the " American system" noyv thetradu cer of those who acted with him and followed his lead The author of the system of Internal Im provements, which has squandered, so many millions of dollars for no good end, land now the persecuting reviler of those who Attempted to carry out the schemes he plannedj The oppo nent of the Sub-Treasury in 1834the great ad vocate of it now The advocate of every measure hated by the South, and the bold. Senator, who declared in 1842, that he had not changed any of these principles, and yet the supplicant for their votes lae blustering advocate pt "free trade." In his whole Congressional career before his con nexion-veith Mr.' Monroe's Cabinet, he was the ultra advocate of protection both by his votes and speeches. A member of the Senate since 1832, amidst all the excitement of thelTarifFquestion, he! has never yet presented toj the American people the tirst free trade proposition. This is the politician, who never yet ra;sed a :arty around him, and this is the political weathercock, whose friends have erected a press at. Macon, t. per suaded? people of Georgia to follow him. This is the Presidential aspirant, vvhi cannot get the votcj of any two States in the Ujiion. What an imposition upon common sense ? j 1 Toothing could have been inor malapropos to the singular claim urged for Mr. (Calhoun by his South Carolina friends, of his being the strict'eon strujctionisU'jior ;erceLence.'than the republication of what are called his "-Suppressed Speeches," by lb? National Intelligencer. These Suppress ed Speeches, being, in fact amonmhe very best he ever dfil.veretj, and yet going the whole leno-th m opposition to-all t lie State Rights Idoctrines of the present day.
