WHITE AND WEBSTER.
Not long since Mr. Webster's organ at Boston made proclamation that he would remain in the field, and that Massachusetts would support him, if no other State supported him.
The last Nashville Republican gives back the pledge. It comes almost in the shape of an echo. Saith the Republican.
Tennessee is for White, and will remain so. She supports him because she believes he will prove a true representative of the principles which she has always professed; and though she may vote alone, she will not desert him.
The Republican is afraid that Tennessee may be disputed. The editor is, therefore, constrained to give notice that 'Tennessee is for White, and will remain so.'
How does he know that the people will consent to throw their votes away on White, now that he is out of the question, merely to promote the views of the federal party elsewhere! The Republican knows that the White Sun which rose with the caucus in Washington, has gone down. The caucus has given him up in despair. Not a single southern State has given him the least encouragement. In all their elections, his friends have been voted down.
But the Republican insists that though Tennessee may sail alone, she will not desert him.
What is this but avowing that Tennessee will desert her venerable President and the democratic party throughout the Union, simply to encourage the federal party, which has ruined Judge White, and now scorns him for his utility?

Event Details
The Boston organ of Mr. Webster proclaimed he would remain in the field with Massachusetts support even if alone. The Nashville Republican echoes this for White, stating Tennessee supports him as a true representative of its principles and will not desert him even if voting alone. The commentary questions this, noting White's support has waned, the caucus has given him up, no southern state encourages him, and suggests Tennessee would desert its President and democratic party to aid the federal party.
