t party boasts of its Northern wing being sound upon the slavery
question.

And here is the resolution of the 8th of January _Democratic_ Convention
in Ohio, appointing delegates to the Cincinnati Pow-wow:

"_Resolved_, That the people of Ohio now, as they have always

To show, just here, where Tennessee Democrats stand upon the infamous

from this State: he is succeeded by

FRED. P. STANTON,

for ten years a Democratic Congressman from the Memphis
district: he voted for the Oregon bill, with the Wilmot
Proviso annexed: behind him in the march is

ALVAN CULLOM,

a Democratic Congressman, who has squatted on the _other_ side
of one of his native mountains in the fourth district, and been
quiescent for some years: he was one of the Tennessee
