The Tribune also has toe impudence to assert that the democrats sre going lor Clingman, when it is well known that the Union democrats all support Gaither, because he supports the compromise, and notwithstanding he is a whig.

The assertion of the Tribune that Gov. Trousdale, ol Tennessee, advocates resistance to most of the compromise measure, is a falsehood that no true hires of the Union would venture upon.

It takes such advocate of the compromise law as the Tribune and the Allas to concoct snd circulate these slandeis of southern democrats.

Its triumph seem to have faded away, and few can rejoice at present appearances save those who hate the very words of progress, reform, revolutionary ideas.
