 GENTLEMEN :-I yesterday had the plea- sure to receive your obliging invitation to at tend ga Mass Meeting of the Democracy of Tennessee.o l assure you that l feel alike honored and gratifed by such notice and re- collection of me by my Democratic fellow citizens of the far South and West. We are all brethren of the same political family and all engaged in the same holy cause--a cause, second only in its influence upon the human race to that of Christianity itself Indeed, 1t is founded on the same principles, forhe who really loves his neighbor as himself, and prac- tieally does to others as he would that others should do unto him, cannot but be true Democrat.

 It would give me great and peculiar delight to join the Democratic citizens of Tennessee on this interesting occasion and to become more acquainted with the people of State in which have domestic reasons for feeling an unusual interest more frequent interchange of civilities between the people of the North and the South, and better knowledge of the customs, manners and institutions of each other, would tend to prevent those sectional prejudices, which too often spring up among us, and would bind us more firmly together as one people, and render more perfect and enduring our invaluable federal Union. An- other strong inducement to comply with your request is found in the opportunity it would give me, once more, to pay my respects to the hero and statesman who has done so much for Democracy and his coun- try. But above all would join in the mass of our fellow citizens in testifying our conf dence in the capacity, the purity of character, the patriotism and the sterling Democracy of the nominee of the National Democratic Convention.

 l regret that am compelled to deny my self these qualifications. But although can not avail myself of your kindness, and part- cipate ill the patriotic proceedings of your meeting, allow me to assure you that where ever may be, shall ardently and devotedly engage in s'the great struggle to bring back the Government to its original Republican track, by the election of Polk and Dallas, and
