TENNESSEE PoLITIcIANs.-We find that the Ca zette is playing into the hands of few would be great men, and disappointed asprants, by railing against Tennesseans, and trying to excite preju- dice against them. This is but part of the system of several whom we know, who, having no merit of their own, seek to rise by pulling some one else down. Aside from the pitiful illiberality of such a course, we are averse to raising prejudice for, or against, any man on account of the place of his birth, or former residence. We prefer to judge and appreciate every man upon hs individual merits.- In this, we are actuaed by no fears of the conse- quenees which may result to oursef, or any of our friends, from the fact that any of us happened to be born or reside, in Tennessee. Should that ever be made question, Tennesseeans may cheerfully abide the result in Arkansas. It might enlighten Ae policy of certain individuals to ascertain who compose the bulk of the Legislature. Who make up the body of the population of our State? Who were the pioneers of her settlement, and who have rendered her most service? It looks well for an up-start who, like the malefactor Rivingon, cleft his country for his country's good, to come to Ar kansas and denounce Tennesseans the very men who furnish him his daily bread We hope 10 hear no more of this If it is forced upon us, some one shall repentit.
