 DEMOCRATIC CHAMPIONS.

 The Democracy of West Tennessee have done honor. and good service to themselves, and to the party targe by selecting their standard bearers, such true and valiant men as Coz, STANTON, and EwE1L We know them well, as men, and as Demo crats With the two former we have fought shoulder to shoulder, in the good cause and again feel our spirits rise and catch still more enthusiastic thrill, as we behold their falchons flash along the ranks, and hear their clarion voices y-cdarge upoa the caemgt We have heard these voices before, and we have seen the hosts Of WIiggery go down before them, and the glorious banner of Democracy rise in triumph Of THOMAS EwELL too nigh praise can hot be spoken. Though just arrived at tie age of manhood, he has already won for himself a most engiable reputation. In reference 10 him, We can not forbear to quote passage of letter we have received from a distinguished friend in Iennessec "He is possessed of talents and attachments such as have never met with, in one of his age Of Spar tan frmness, and untiring energy, few men, of any ace are his equals in political debate; and he springs into the arena, with the zest of lover to the lips o his mistress" Such is ToM EwELL, in the estima- ton of one of the best judges of men we have ever known. And such is a specimen of the Democratic leaders in Tennessee. With such leaders, our cause is dsward, and success is certain. In eorroboration of cur opinion, hear tine cheering tones of the ''Nash1ile union.'

 s.Ihe West Tennessee #hig, published al Jackson, Madison county, speaks disparag ingly of the qualifications and youth of Thos, Ewell, the democratic candidate for Elector for the 1lth Milton Brown's} Congressional district. Gen. Haskell is the whig candidate in the same district. We can assure our friends from what we know, and the uuiver- sal testimony of our democratic friends in the West, that MT. EWell, ill addition to his zeal, industry and energy, in which he Is sur passed by no man in the State, is gentle man of distinguished talents and attainments and according to our correspondents, he is proving himself more than match for his competitor in every encounter.2

 s'ia the 10th district c. E. Ashe's1 our friend Stanton, the democratic candidate, Is winning new laurels every day as debater from his competitor, Robertson FoFP. We freely admit that Messrs Haskell and Topp are both men of talents. In an equal cause however, they would be fairly oyeunatched in Messrs. Stanton and Ewell. But in the present contest, with the whole weight of reason, fact, truth, their countfy's interest and Texas on their side, their advantage IS most decided and manifest

 Our friends may rest assured, that the elo- quent and whole souIed Levin II. Goe, al- ready well known to the whole democracy of the Sjate, will render good and faithful account of Major Henry, one of the whig candidates for the State at large, whenever he makes his appearance in the West There is i'll the State no more expert hand in the trade ol skinning coons, and demolishing whig sophisry, than Levin H. Coe. In the West, therefore, all goes on well ?

 WHIGGERY IN RHODE IsLAND-Not a single DEMOCRAT was allowed to sit on the Jury which tried Governor DoRR. Two were on the panel; but the IK1ig Judges excluded them What do the people think of this3 And yet, every Egbig press ia the country is rejoicing in the conviction and a- prisonmant of DoRR! is raising the shout of exul- tation, because patriot citizen of our country las been treaeherousy arrested, unfairly tried and un- justly condemned to imprisonment for life-and for what offence: Because he sought to give the Beo- pie Republican Constitution in place of British charter derived from King Charles the End because he aided the people in changing their government from British monopoly, which concentrated all power in the hands of few property holders, to an American Republican State, which guaranties to every freeman who pays taxes and bears arms in support and defence of his country, the right to vote because he aided the people, in peaceable and e- gtimate manner to do what has been done by all the States of this Union This was his oaence.- And we defy any one to shew that he did more than this. Yet for doing this he has been tried and con vcted, by a Jdig Jury, and sentenced to iapTisoa- aeat .tor life, by IYh{g Judgest In the perpetra- ton of such an infamous deed it is no wonder that Democrats were excluded; for they would have died rather than join in such an outrage. This the Wing Judges knew; and having resolved upon the sacrifice of their victim, whom they then held in the tyrant hand of power, they would have none upon the Jury who would cry aloud for iustice.- The voice of Justice and of popular rights, demand that DoRR should be set at liberty, and crownea with honor; while his unjust Judges should either take his place in prison or be hung in chains, until their bodies, like their deeds shall .stHk in the nostrils'' of fieemen.

 HAMPSTEAD CoUNry.-The Democratic eandi- dates to represent old Hampstead in the next Legis lature, are THOMAS M. R. BANKnrAp. and Hrzr- nAH W. SMITH, Esqs. They are in the field, and doing good service,

 We learn that the Whigs have no other candidate, except an old broken down loafng buaoon named Murphy, formerly quite notorious in West Tenfes- see, who calls himself Bank-democrat.

 The Wings seem to have quite fondnoss forsuch characters. They have employed just such another scamp, named B3rd to loaf about the State. as an
