_Fillmore and Donelson Electoral Ticket._
As a matter of reference, and that none may mistake the American Ticket
on the day of the election, we give it as agreed upon and matured by our
party:
FOR THE STATE.
HON. NEILL S. BROWN, of Davidson.
HORACE MAYNARD, of Knox.
FOR THE DISTRICTS.
1st District--N. G. TAYLOR, of Carter.
2d " MOSES WHITE, of Knox.
3d " REESE B. BRABSON, of Hamilton.
4th " W. P. HICKERSON, of Coffee.
5th " ROBERT HATTON, of Wilson.
6th " W. H. WISENER, of Bedford.
7th " C. C. CROWE, of Giles.
8th " J. M. QUARLES, of Montgomery.
9th " ISAAC R. HAWKINS, of Carroll.
10th " JOSEPH R. MOSBY, of Fayette.
This is an able ticket, and greatly superior to the opposing ticket, as
our readers will bear us witness when they hear the parties in debate.
Most of these gentlemen have consented to serve on the ticket at great
personal sacrifices; and like their chief, Mr. FILLMORE, they have
undertaken to serve their party and country "without waiting to inquire
of its prospects of success or defeat." And all the reward they seek is
to be able to conduct the struggle to a victorious consummation in
Tennessee, and this we feel confident they will do. The battle in
Tennessee will be hotly contested, but it is by no means doubtful.
Tennessee for the last twenty years, and in five preceding presidential
contests, has refused to range herself under the black banner of
Locofocoism; and now that that banner is doubly infamous by being raised
and cheered by Catholics, foreigners, and paupers of every clime, it is
fair to presume she will spurn the flag!
THE BLACK REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.
The Black Republican Party, in their recent Convention at Philadelphia,
have nominated JOHN CHARLES FREMONT, of California, for the Presidency,
and Ex-Senator WILLIAM L. DAYTON, of New Jersey, for the Vice
Presidency!
This man Fremont is no statesman--has no experience in political
life--has not the first qualification for this eminent and responsible
station--and his nomination has not been made upon any plausible pretext
whatever. He is an Engineer by profession--once penetrated with his
companions to the Pacific coast, across the Rocky Mountains--is the
son-in-law of _Tom Benton_--is a Free Trade Locofoco, and an avowed Free
Soiler.
