As£r Discussion is invited. ■•i ni,l€ HPIMKINCi. W o are requested to announce that Col. Nathan Bass, Douglas and Johnson Elector for this District, will address tho people of this county at this place on Wednesday, Oc tober 10th, 1860. RF* Tlio Griffin Democrat, in a notice of the speech of non. Henry It. Jackson, ono of tlie Breckinridge State electors, says: “Touching lire fly upon tho record of John 8011, ho demonstrated that whenever an is suo has been made between the North and tho South, Itell Ims been uniformly found voting with the Northern enemies of slave ry. The speaker asserted that no Southern man can ho found who is less sound upon the rights of tho South than John Bell.” Now, that Col Jackson asserted what is here attributed to him, wo have no right to gainsay; but when it is stated that lie de monstrated it, we deny it most emphatically. To demonstrate a proposition, is to show that it is true, and why it is so, and we defy Col. Jackson or anybody else to show that John Bell has “uniformly voted with the enemies of slavery ” It can’t he done, and Col. Jackson, if he knows anything about tho political history of his country, knows it. But is’nt it strange, if Col. Jackson is gifted with such tremendous powers of de monstration, that ho did not “demonstrate” this fact to Col. Obcdiuh Gibson, Breckin ridge elector for this District? Col. Gibson told tho people at the Court House in this place on Inst Thursday, that John Bell hnd generally voted with t/v South, while Col. Jack son says to tho people of Griffin, Gibson’s neighbors, that Bell has uniformly voted with the enemies of tho South. We leave these gentlemen to reconcile this difference of Opinion between themselves as best they may, hoping, however, that Col. Gibson will take an early opportunity to disabuse the fninds of the people of Griffin on this sulw jeet, by telling them, as he did here, that Mr. Bell has generally voted with the South. The SpeaklßE Loil Mitui <m.t. Col. L. T. Doyal, Bell and Everett elector for this Congressional District, and Charles T. Goode, Esq., one of tho Alternate elec tors, addressed a portion of tho citizens of Harris county at tho Court house in this place, on Saturday last. Mr. Goode was tho first speaker, and for more than an hour commanded tho atten tion of his audience. He set out by stating that it was the duty of Southern men of ali parties, to voto for John Bell, ho being the only candidate now before tho people who stands the shndow of a chance to defeat the Black Republicans. He would say nothing against Mr. Douglas, who hud always been a consistent Democrat, and stood to-day up on tho same ground heretofore occupied by tho great National Democratic party. As to platforms, ho cared nothing about them. Tho Constitution and tho Union was plat form enough, especially with such a man ns John Bell in tho Presidential chair to ad minister tho Government and enforce tho laws. This was tho only platform required in the earliar duys ol our Bepuhlic, when such men as Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Jackson were candidates for tho Presi dency. Platforms wero invented by party leaders nnd demagogues for selfish purposes, to mislead nnd gull the honest, unsuspecting people. Tho speaker then referred briefly to tho course of the Democratic party on tho subject of squatter sovereignty, and read from speeches delivered by many of the leaders of that party —including Brcckin ridgo himself—showing that that dogma had been considered one of the cardinal principles of tho Democratic party, until re cently, when the disunionists hnd been per mitted to slip into their National Conven tions, and break up tho party by introducing the doctrine of Congressional intervention fortlie protection of slavery in tho Teritories. Tho Constitutional Union pnrty, with John Bell ns its leader, contended that the Consti tution and tho (lag of tho Union protected the slaveholder in tho Territories, thcStates nnd upon the sens. Wo should look to the Constitution for protection toslavory, rather than to an abolition Congress. But wo cannot give anything like an out line, even, of the speech of Mr. Goode. It was nrgumentntivo, logical and truly elo quent, and his frequent appeals to the patri otism of the people to come up in solid phal anx and rally to tho old banner of the stars nnd st ripes, and preserve the Union of the States, elicited frequent outbursts of ap plause. Mr. Goode came among ns n total stronger, but left, many warm friends in our county, nnd wo hope that this visit among us may prove hut the forerunner of others equally pleasant. We assure him that his eloquent effort here in behalf of the cause of John Bell, the Union, the Constitution nnd Laws, , was highly nppprcciiitcd. und the (Mends of tho good cause alf join us in tho hope that he may make it convenient, at some time between this nnd November, to pay us another visit, nnd “repeat the dose.” Wo come now to tho speech of Col. L. T. Doyal, our able and distinguished stan dard hearer for this District, and we confess our utter inability to do him justice in an orlinnry newspaper article. Forntoro than two hours he entertained his hearers with a speech which for compact argument and sound common sense views, was insurpassu hie. To say that it was able, dignified and unrnswerahlc, is hut to repeat what all who are disposed to judge impartially are ready to admit. He took up, one by’ .one, the charges preferred ngainst John Beil, and disposed of them in a masterly and convinc ing manner. In regard to the miserable charge offroe soilism preferred against Mr. Bell, Col. Doyal proved by tho record that it was false, and that the leading speakers of tho Brockin ridgo party, having been driven to tho wall in every contest on this point, had given it up, nnd now acknowledge, as did Col. Gib son, that John Bell “had generally voted with tho South.” But his vote against tho Leeompton Constitution was now the great sin for which Mr. Bell was to he repudiated at the South. Col. Doyal showed from the record, from Mr. Bell’s speech on the Lc compton Constitution, that he had voted to refer it hack to the people of Kansas for rat ification, and that every Democratic Senator in Congress voted with him, for the same object, when they voted for tho English hill. Kansas, in that Constitution, had demanded more land than she was entitled to, nnd more than the Government had awarded to any other now State, and Mr. Bell could see no good reason tor making her tho recip ient of sueh partiality at tho hands of the General Government, and hence ho desired to have this overplus of land stricken out, nnd then if tho people iff the territory still desired to come into the Union under the Leeompton Constitution, let them do so.— This was Mr. Bell’s position, and he w** sustained by every Southern Democratic member of Congress save two. But suppose Mr. Bell had voted for Leeompton, nnd Kan sas had been admitted, what would have been the result? We would now have one more Black Republican State, with three votes to aid tho election of Lincoln. Was .Mr. Bell to ho condemned for keeping Kan sas out of tho Union under these circum stances? How could any any Southern man engage in a ivarfaro upon him for such a cause ? Angnin, Mr. Bell was charged with voting to make California a free State. Thiseharge was also most signally refuted by Col. Doyal who showed by the record , that instead of doing ibis, Mr. Bell voted toexteiiS^^K souri Compromise to the Pacific, ing one-half the State open to but in tlds lie was overpowered by a Democratic Congress/ * It had also been charged that Mr, Bell had favored tho abolition of slavery fa the District of Columbia,anil Brer-kinriflgtrWWß papers and stump spenkers had penrfwrtod tho truth of history’ by garbling Mr.BcH’s speeches, and giving them a meaning which it was nover intonded they should cojlrey. Col. Doyal road out tho yeas and the Congressional Globes, showing thaf Mr. Bell had always voted against every prepo sition to abolish slavery in tho District of Columbia; and not only so, hut that hclhad alwnys voted against every proposition to abolish the slave trade in tho Distria of Columbia. Thus Col. Doyal went on and disposal of tho objections urged ngainst Mr. Bell, jptlis speech, from beginning to end, was a imblc vindication of a jpuro and honest statesman who has been unjustly assailed by a portion of the people of his own section, whose in terests nnd institutions ho has spent moro than thirty years of his life in defending and protecting, whenever assaulted by t*tujfiie mios—tho Northern aliolitionists. A Col. Doyal also defended tho eharact"jNof Edwnrd Everett ngninst tho clmrgeslpreferr ed ngainst him by the supporters ol'BcUck inridge, and referred in eloquent nnd fil ing terms to his disinterested efforts in 10--half --half of Mount Vernon; ho had spent, his tiino nnd his money in traveling over'the country to rniso money to rescue of Washington from the hands of speculators, ami make it tho common property el’ tho ladies of America. This singlo act should endear him to every American citizen who reveres the name and noble deeds “Father of his Country.” As to the charge of freesoilism against Mi'. Everett. Col. Doyal they were ill-founded, and read IrodH speeches while Congress in which he ed his rendinoss to shoulder his march to the defence of tho people South. The speaker also read an <cWact from a speech of Mr. Breckinridge lum self, in which he prenounccd Mr. KveEtt a patriot “noble and true. w We have passed hastily over only ft few points discussed by Col. Doyftl, without at tempting to give anything like full Synop sis of his arguments. Our only rrfret is that every voter in Harris county lid not hear tho speech, lie lashed as they deserv ed those small-potatoo cross-roads vould-be politicians who are traveling about the coun try asserting that John Bell is unsound on tho subject ol slavery. In closinAii speech Col. Doyal made an eloquent ajßal to all who love tho Union and the rally Urdu ml tho standard of those live national statesmen Bell and FA’ erktt, and bear them in triumph to tho Presiden tial chair. Col. O. C. Cilison. This gentleman, Breckinridge elector for this District, addressed a very small portion of the voters of this county on Thursday iast upon the political issues of the day. Col. Gibson commenced by stating that he was a member of the Nashville Conven tion, and stood by and advocated the same principles to-day that he did in 1 Sod. lie viewed the political course of event- dneo that time, and found that he was contend ing for tho same doctrine now that he Con tended for then, lie lauded the American party for having demanded protcctiiß in their Macon and Millcdgcvillc i But how changed! Then there use. ing good in tho platform or party, Gibson opposed the American party as fierce ly as ho now opposes tho Constitutional Union party. If tho platform was sueh an excellent one then, as Col. Gibson now says it was, why didn't he come along and get on it and go with them? Oh, consist nry, thou art a jewel! There was no protection needed then by Col. Gibson’s party —they were satisfied with the doctrine of non-in tervention. But now, the abstraction of other days is demanded (when necessary) according to tho abolition platform maker of Massachusetts, B. F. llallct. The Union party is to-day in favor ofpro tection, the only protection that can ever be available, that is, Constitutional protection. They believe that tho Constitution is a safer relianeeTorproteetion.t liana Black Bepnblian Congress. But Col Gibson admitted that the Constitution carried slavery into nil the Territories, and protected itthoro under the Drod Seott Decision, and fuilodto show that we could over get any betteb or moro am ple protection—thus admitting that our plat form was the best on that question. Even allowing that wo should have a Democratic President and Congress wo have no’ assur ance that they would deem protection “ne cessary,” as there is only a small faction of the party that demand it. As to John 8011, Col. Gibson admitted that he had generally voted fortlie interests of his section; but ho objected to him be cause ho was weak in judgment. Now this is an now charge against Mr. Bell, nnd one that wo havo nover heard urged be fore. But like all others, it is easily , elu ted. Wo ask you to look to the histo ry of tho country, and you will sec that for forty years past John Bell lms boon honored by the people of his State with offices of honor and distinction. If he is weak in judgment, the State of Tennessee have hern willing to trust her interests in his hands. If you believe he is weak in judgment go look at his record—though dusty from ago it will well repay investigation. There too, you will find tho acts, votes and sayings of a statesman and a patriot, nnd notono%ord or voto but is directed by a pure patriotism and devotion to liis country. John Bell weak in judgment! Admired by Jackson in his younger days—in riper years tho compeer of Clay, Webster and Calhoun, John Bell stands to-day with the flag of our counfry, to protect tho Constitution, perpet uate tho Union and cnforco tho laws of the country, looking with disfavor upon tho black flag of oppression nt the North ns well as upon tho red ling of disunion at the 1 South, and with an honest heart desires tho overthrow of these twin enemies of the Constitution. A Crazy Newspaper. —The homo organ of Breckinridge, tho Lexington Statesmen, stunned and crazed by tho late crushing overthrow of its champion in Kentucky, puts forth the following insane paragraph': Thcro is not a Northern State in which the friends of Breckinridge and Lane do not outnumber, iu tho votes, two to one of tho BrlLmcu. All but two or three Southern States are quite certain for Breckinridge, nnd thoso excepted are, to claim the least, doubtful. Tho absurdity of this was too great for Democrats, even, and so tho Cincinnati En quirer, the lending Democratic paper inOhio, replies by saying: “There is not a Northern State where the Bell men do not outnumber the Breckinridge Disunionists ten to one. This every body knows who lives in the free States. The truth is, the Breckinridge party is a sham in the Jforth. In numbers they do not exceed the old Tyler party of 1842. As to the South, Breckinridge will not carry one Southern Statdltoiccpt South Carolina.” Straw. —A vote was taken in of Whitcsvillo, in this county on of September, with the following result: Bell and Everett 35. Douglas and Johnson 3. Breckinridge and Lane 2. Abandons the Democratic Party. —The Vicksburg Whig contains a letter from the Hon. E. M- Verger, a distinguished citizens of Mississippi, in which that gentleman de clares himself lor Bell and Everett. It is well known that Inst December, Mr. Verger publicly allied himself with the Democratic party. Believing from the unerring signs of the times, that Bell and Everett are the only ticket which stands a ghost of a chance of success over tho Black Republicans, he gives his support in this contest to Bell and Everett. We copy tho concluding portion of Mr. Verger’s letter: “Withoutattempting to discuss the pro fessed principles of eithc party in tho hold, it seems to me that tho only questions a pa triot should now ask, ought to he: How we sitvo the Union? How can wo crush! the Black Republicans? Whatever party 1 wo may heretofore havo acted with, we of the South are tor the rights of the South, and it becomes us as a great and intelligent people, to put an end to the reign of party tyranny, ll has already nearly proved fil ial to ourcounlry. Individual independence is now necessary to preserve it. Without doubting tho devotion of any party in Mis sissippi in the interests of the South, it can not. I think, he successfully denied that the Democracy have failed as a national party to secure that which was the very germ of the dissolution. Those opinions are now held within my own knowledge, by some of the most distinguished supporters of Mr. Breckinridge in Mississippi, who have fur thermore, patriotically dcclnrrud their wil lingness to support Mr. Bell, should it in deed appear that he is the strongest candi date in tho field. The recent elections, I think, have clearly proved this to be a liict and it is not too much to hope that tho pu trotism of these gentlemen will soon show hbjelf hv an open declaration for Mr. Bell. this contest I am lor crushing the lle pnfTiean party', rather than the elevation of any'other, and shall therefore east my voto tor Bell and Everett, in my judgment, the strongest national candidates in the field.— Your obedient servant. Edward M. Yergek. Yancey and the Union. — “l am no wor shipper of the Union ? lam not fortlie Un ion, nor against the Union. 1 am not for disunion, nor against disunion!” The above is from the speech of W. Ij. Yancey, at the Maryland Institute, after Breckinridge and Lane had been nominated, and it was warm ly and enthusiastically received by the del egates and Breckinridge outsiders in atten dance. Mr. Yancey was the head engineer of tho secession movement from the begin ning, and did more to nominate Breckin ridge than any other one hundred men.— His idea, as avowed in his letter to Colonel Slaughter in ISSS, “is to precipitate the Cot ton States into revolution.’’ The cause is to he tho election of Lincoln, the means of af fecting which is to divide the anti-Lincoln vote, by keeping Breckinridge in the field.— Richmond Whig. Let the People Take Notice, says the Richmond Whig, That the Lychburg Repub lican, n hot Breckinridge organ, announces that “the moment ‘the lightning flash shall convey the intelligence of the election, of Lincoln it will unlMrl to tho breeze tho flag of Disunion.” Let tho people remember, also, that the Republican's position is the position of nine tenths of the Breckinridge papers in Vir ginia ! Tho Republican is only a littlo bold er than the others—thnt’s all. No Chance for Breckinridge. —Tho Brockinridge-Yancy State Convention at Chnrlottsvillo instructed its electors to voto for cither Douglas or Bell to defeat Lincoln There is good evidence they had no idea of the election of Breckinridge. Why do they aid in kcepiijgtho young man on tho track, when they know his remaining there can do nothing towards the defeat of tho Repub licans, but is calculated to aid the fanatics?— Richmond Whig. From the Nashville Patriot. Mr. Hell's Prospects In the North. From a private letter received in this city from n gcmtloman now in Now York, woaro permitted to make tho oxtmet subjoined. The writer is a cool headed business man, and his statements are entirely reliable : New York, Aug. 10 lfftlO. * * * “When I left Nashville, I deter mined to mix about with tho people on ev ery train of ears I was aboard of, nnd from tho time I struck the Kentucky lino I began to see tho excitement. j\t every depot and station crowds of people were gathered and shouting over the glorious victory in our sister State. As I passed through Ohio and Pennsylvania, I found upon every train a majority for Bell and Everett; and upon but one train during our mholo trip to New York, lmd Breckinridge a majority over Douglas and that was at some point be tween Nashville nnd Louisville, which vote stood, for Bell 62, Breckinridge 31, Douglas 26, and Lincoln 2. As I came on, I* of course, mot friends of all the candidates, particular ly ns I neared this city, for I regret to say Mr Lincoln has many friends in this local ity. It is, however, gratifying to mo to bo aide to assure you that all over this northern country, Mr. 801 l is the second elioico of the friends of all the other candidates. Since I havo been in this city I have talked with a great many business men, and 1 find them all for Mr. Beit, with here and there an ex ception. They SUV they are willing to vote for any man to defeat the Black Republi cans, and they can soo JJO c’banco to do this nnd save tho Union, unless they concentrate upon and elect Mr. Roll, and they are going to work with that determination and with full confidence of success. The late elec tions in Missouri, North Carolina and Ken tucky have inspired the people in the North with confidence, and tho leaves hardly fall faster from tho trees after a biting frost in autumn, than arc tho friends of Breckin ridge and Douglas deserting them and join ing The great union of honest conservative men, who are tho only hope for the perpetu ity and glory of this great nation. I assure you there is a great revolution going on in this section. Old men, whoso silver locks betoken that they are on the grave’s brink, who for years have taken no part in politics arc going in droves to the political gather ings and joining the younger in the loud shout for Bell ond Everett. Old Democrats who have been so all their lives, are wash ing their hands of it and coming out for our Union candidates. The same feeling is aroused in Philadel phia. While there on Saturday last, I was told by our old friend G. that in three hous es there adjoining each other, (his being ono of them,) there wore 38 to 40 voters, and every one for Bell and Everett except two. These are truths that cannot begotten over and tell in tones of thunder how our party is gaining ground. neli anil Ilierctt-LioaiiN or Hie lllacK Republican Press. Wluit ever elso may be said about the convention which placed Messers. Bell and Everett in nomination, it cannot be denied that tho dolgAtos solected for both places on their ticket are gentlemen who deserve well of their country. If we had more men of tho same sort, the government would bo carried on with much moro dignity than at present. While this fact is generally ftc kaow\dged, v*e notice that some of the black republican journals attempt to throw ridicule upon the ticket, and tiius divert public attention from thenominees. This shows that the Black republicans arc not a littlo frightened at the idea ot having three or four strong tickotsin the field against them. Avery aide and statesman like letter from Mr. Everett has called out some of the black republican attacks, which, through written with apparent goodhumor. show signs of latent rancor and concealed aprehensions. It is quite true that it can not he said of Mr. Bell or Mr. Everett thatoilher of them kept a grocery, ordistillod whiskey, or was judge of a fist light ora horse race, that either of them ever split rails which seemed to ho Mr. Lincoln's onh points.— Other wise, however, we are oblige to say that Bell and Everett have largely tho ad vantage of their opponents. The former are men of cultivation, education and refinement—scholars, gentlein*n and statesmen of large experience. Jn their hands tho government would command con fidence at home and respect abroad. In all that constitute fitness lor tho discharge of the duties of the executive branch of the government, there is no comparison between Bell and Everett and Lincoln and llamlin. so vastly superior arc the former. It argues badly for republican institutions, when such men as John Bell and Edward Everett, arc denounced and abused.— N. Y. Herald. Douglas Ticket in the Field.—Breckin ridge’s lust hope of Florida is gone. Messrs. Roden, Culpepper and Jones, are announced as Electors for the “Little Grant 1 * in this Stale. Gen. Redout has opened the canvass in good earnest in tho East. “Alas! poor Yorick.” Brock’s friends havo floated on little Florida , hut now she slips from his grasp. The tables are turned. It's the Giant killing Jack—uo longer “Jack the Gi ant killer.” The Douglas men of the state so long bulicd and browbeaten by the Yan cey-Breckinridge men, have at last asserted their independence and the ides of Novem ber will show many a voter for the Popular Sovereign. This ticket gives the State to Bell without a doubt. “So much for Buck ingham !”— Florida Sentinel. No Mistake about Virginia.— A prominent gentleman of this State, a member of the last Legislature, and a Breckinridge man passed through this place on last Monday on his way home from Virginia, where lie had spent some time ; and ho gave it as his decided opinion, that tlie Old Dominion was sure for Bell and Everett. All of our own friends, who have visited there this summer have uniformly givon us the same informa tion, and we are glad to have it continued by a very intelligent and prominent friend of Mr. Breckinridge. And if Virginia is thus unmistakably for 801 l and Everett, who can doubt how tho adjoining States will go? The same causes which operate in Virginia to give that State to the Union ticket, will opperate still more strongly in North Carolina, Delawnre, Ken tucky, Maryland, nnd Tennessee, and give the whole of them, with their 60 votes, to Bell and Everett.— Montgomery Post. The Chinese picture of ambition: ‘‘a man darin trying to catch a comet by putting salt on its tail.” “Mr. Hell to take the Slump.” Under tho above heading tho Louisville Courier of Thursday alluded to the asser tion of tho Louisville Journal that “Mr. Bell will not take the stump,” as “prema ture,” und quotes tho following in confirma tion of its position from the Lexington Statesman: “The Louisville Journal is very much ex-- cited over tho announcement that Mr- Breckinridge proposes to respond in person to tho charges that tlio Journal has aided to circulate, nnd says thnt if any of its read ers hear it intimated that John Bell would take the stump, it will be safe to character ize tho statement as false and slanderous. — The Journal is a ’degree too rapid. Wo havo tho best reason to believe that John Bell is contemplating that very movement. He said to a friend a very few days ago, that if Mr. Breckinridge makes speeches, ho wilt follow the example. The Journal ought to be better posted before it uses languago so strong. It cannot well take back all it Has said, but will have it to do.” M isery loves company, nnd the support ers of Mr. Breckinridge, conscious of tlio humiliating attitude in which that gentle man lias placed liimself as a stump candi date for the Presidency, are very anxious to reduce Mr. Bell to the same level. But they will most signally tail iu tins. Wo have no idea that Mr. Bell everuttored the words so positively attributed to him by the states man. Tho idea of John Bell following tho example of Hr. Breckinridge is quite amus ing. * Whntover misrepresentations or specula tions upon this point may bo circulated by the Breckidridge organs, let it be understood once for all, that Mr. Bell is not a stump can didate for tho Presidency, and all assertions that he will lollow Mr. Breckinridge’s ex ample are untrue, and a reflection upon his high character as a statesman.— Nashville Banner. The Meeting Saturday Night.—Notwith standing a pretty full house nt Temperance Hall, the moetng in the yard of the Ogle thorpe Hotel was very large nnd inthusias tic. We were glad to soo, in the compact crowd, a number of Breckinridge and Doug las men; their presence maifested a desiro to hear and weigh tlio arguments of a speak er who has acquired such distinguished and deserved eminence ns a popular orator ns Hon. B. H. Hill. Mr. Hill’s speech was all that his mostTsnnguinc friend anticipated— calm, argumentative, pointed nnd eloquent. For about two hours and a half he held an attentive audience deeply interested in his re mnjks. Disdaining the little quibbles nnds hal low sophistries so common in stump speak ers, lie treated the questions at issue in a statesmanlike nnd candid manner, and op posed to prejudice and partisan blindness tlie force of truth and the persuasive app rt *l ß of an enlarged patrotism. If they ,W 1 not reach and carry conviction to heart, it was because party had ste. f cd them agaist the influence of politi—.* truth nnd the forco of the most cogent argument. Ho exposed and refuted in a masterly manner many of the frivolous charges against Mr. Bell, and riddled with his logic and sarcasm tho in consistencies and subterfuges of tho seces sionist. Their cry of “platform,” especial ly, was ridiculed and exposed in a masterly manner; and the “aid and comfort” which they are indirectly iriviny to Lincoln was apt before thp people in light. IV£ regret that every voter in the State cannot* 1 hear Mr. Hill- ->ve should feel sure of a vio tory for our good cause, even with the pecu liar dificiillios in our way in Georgia. It was a noble nnd telling speech, and will long be remembered by those who heard it as the most powerful effort they ever listened to on such an occasion. Mr. Jlill will speak this week at Knoxville, Tcnn., Home, Ga., and other places north of ns. Wherever he may go, and in whatever distinguish! company ho may speak, tho people will recognize him as the model stump orator, and good will follow his efforts.—Col umbus Enquirer. A Union Victory in Delaware. —Tho Wilmington Commonwealth pronounces the result of the municipal election in that city on Tuesday last as a triumph of the Consti tutional Union men, tlio organs of the Re publicans to “the contrary notwithstand ing.” The candidates for city* officers aro Constitutional Union men, and wore nomi nated by that party as such ono week, at least, before the People's party took up their names and placed them upon their ticket.— The ward officers, however, were nominated by the People’s party, for whom tho Union men worked nobly and through whose exer tions they were carried successfully through. Hogs. —We hear tho inquiry made every day as to the probable nninbcr nnd price of hogs in this Stato the approaching season, and from the best information we are able to get, from those best posted on the subject,. wo aro led to believe there will be loss pork,, and the prices higher, than we have had in Tennessee, within the last ten years. This is owing to several causes; first, the fiiiluro of our corn crop for several years; Second ly, tho cholera has made such destruction among the hogs that farmers are discourag ed from attempting to raise them. Besides the discrimination against our farmers, by the Rail Roads in this country, in the trans portation of their Provisions and Bread stuff’s, and in favor of more distant sections, all contribute to discourage the further rais ing of hogs for market. Our neighbors ofGeorgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, who havo horotofbrc been dx> pendont on this State, for their pork, must look out for some other market the present season. If they havo then, to look to tho North West for their Provisions, would it not he well for them to take into considera tion the question, whether or not, it is their interest to aid in building tho Rail Road from this place direct to Cincinati, by which one half tho freight would ho saved, and suro and speedy transportation, always secured, with the largest nnd best market in tho North West ? If iivo of tho principlal Roads in Georgia would appropriate one third of thoir net earnings to aid in the construction of this Road, tor five years, they would be moro than repaid in the next tivo years, in tho traffic over their Roads by the incroase of business this great feeder would bring them. —Chattanooga Advertiser. 6@"Council Clark, a gentleman in Sump ter county, was placed on tho Democratic Executive Com'mitteo, but ho could’nt stand it and lias declared himself in favor of Bell and Everett-
