Giving the People even' Infor

The following is on extract of u letter ad
dressed to the editor of the Chromel* if Senti
nel, and published in that paper:
“You will please accept our high apprecia
tion of the liberal, honest and independent course
you have taken in "this exciting canvass, by
giving the people every information, from friend
or foe, on the subject. This we conceive to be
the duty of an Editor, and you have nobly ful
filled it, and will, doubtless, receive a reward
commensurate with your merits."
Respectfully, yours, * * *
It requires a hard face for an editor to pub
lish such a compliment to himself, who has been
spending the whole force of his intellect, lately,
in column after column, upon the Johnson &
Cooper “arrangement,” yet has not published
Mark A. Cooper’s original letter of defence, nor
any of his subsequent looters. He daily assails
the Cowart appointment, yet has not published
Gov. Cobb's letter tn defence of it. He assailed
Gov. Johnson, of Tennessee, as a demagogue
and freesoiler, for advocating the-White Basis,
yet declines to publish Judge Andrews pub
lished opinions in favor of the same views.—
Nay, more, he endeavors to deceive his readers
by quoting Judge Andrews’ vote in Convention,
in May, 1833, against the White Basis, and
conceals the fact from them, that in August,
1833, Judge Andrews published a letter, in
which he takes the other side, and denounces
his own vote as being more the result of preju
dice than of reason.
These are a few specimens of "a liberal hon
est, and independent course.— Aug. Con.
New York and Georgia.
It is the common boast of the people of the
North that they are making more rapid pro
gress in population, wealth and internal im
provements than the people of the South, and
it is generally conceded that they have just and
substantial grounds for their boasting. But it
is a curious fact that the progress of the State
of Georgia, the Empire State of the South, for
over sixty years, has been in a greater ratio
than that of New. York, the boastful Empire
State of the North. In the year 1790, the pop
ulation of Georgia was eighty-two thousand,
and in the year 1850, it was nine hundred and
six thousand, an increase of eleven fold in sixty
years. In 1790, the population of New York
was three hundred and forty thousand, and in
1850 it was three million and ninety-seven
thousand, being an increase of only nine fold in
sixty years. This fact puts to flight the
boasted superior advancement of at least ono
State, and that the wealthiest and most popu
lous. ~
The comparison would be still more favorable
for Georgia, if the fact were taken into the cal
culation, that but few foreign immigrants find
their way to her borders, whilst New York an
nually receives her thousands and tens of thou
sand such accessions. In 1850, there were in
Georgia of foreign born citizens, only six thou
sand four hundred and eighty-eight of all colors
whilst in Now York the foreign born popula
tion aggregated six hundred and fifty fee
thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine. De
duct the foreign born from the natives, and the
increase of the population of Georgia would still
be nearly eleven fold in sixty years, whilst the
Increase of the native population of New York
would not be quite seven fold in sixty years.—

Cedar Town, Polk Co., Ga., Sept. 10,55.
We, the undersigned, certify that we were
members of the council of the Know Nothing
party at Cedar Town. That the Council of
the order at that place appointed delegates to
a Judicial convention to be held at Marietta,
during the last March term of Cobb Superior
court? That Col. E. D. Chisolm and Jas. I).
Waddell, who were appointed as delegates, re
turned from said convention and reported to the
Council that Judge Irwin was unanimously
nominated as the candidate of the party. But
that it was necessary that this be kept a pro
found secret, as the design was to run him as a
no party mau with those who vfere not members
of the order, and that it wuidd not do for the
people to know that he was nominated by n
know nothing convention, at that he took a part
in polities. Some of the members of tho council
objected to the nomination, on the ground that
Judge Irwin was not a member of the order,
To this the delegates replied that Judge Irwin
was with the order in feelink, sympathised with
it, and fully endorsed all of its principles, and
offered to join the order, but that he was told
by members of the order not to do it, as he could
run a stronger race as the candidate of the order,
by keeping out and telling people that he had
not joined it. This explanation was regarded
satisfactory to the Cedar Town Council, and no
further objections was made to the nomination.

up the river. Life at the depot is active, in
storing what comes in by wagon. This day
there are from 75 to 100 car loads of wheat
waiting to be shipped over the State Road.—
There are not sufficient engines to do the

crop.
We noticed a sale of 1000 bushels of old corn
a few days since at 60 cents per bushel. As

wise, it is in the country and through our city
it must find its way to market.
A Touching Story.
The flon. A. 11. Stephens, of Georgia, in a
recent address at a meeting in Alexandria for
the benefit of the Orphan Asylum and Free
School of that city, related the following anec
dote :
“A poor little boy, in a cold night, with no j
home or root to shelter his head, no paternal or
maternal guardian or gnide to protect or direct
him on his way, reached at nightfall the house
of a rich planter, who took him in, fed, lodged,
and sent him on his way with a blessing.—
Those kind attentions cheered his heart, and in
spired him with freeh courage to buttle with
the obstacles of life. Nears rolled round;
Providence led him on, and he had reached the
legal profession; his host had died ; the cormo
rants that prey on the substance of man had
formed a conspiracy to get from the widow her
estates. She sent for the nearest counsel to
commit her cause to him, and that counsel
proved to be the orphan boy. rears before wel
comed and entertained by her deceased husband.
The stimulus of a warm and tenacious gratitude
was now uddtd to the ordinary motive connect
ed with the profession. He undertook her
cause with a will not easily to be resisted; he
gained it; the widow’s estates were secured to
her in perpetuity: and Mr. Stephens added,
with an emphasis of emotion that sent an elec
tric thrill throughout the house, -that orphan
boy stands !’ ” ‘

A Large Farm—The New York Evening
Post, in noticing the progress of Col. Kinney’s
expedition in Central Atneirca, says:
The Colonel has become a very large land
holder since he arrived there, as our correspon
dent reports, having purchased no less than
30,000,000 of acres, with 300 miles of sea coast.
It is the some tract that was originally granted
by Messrs. Shephard and Haley to Senator
Cooper, Win. Cost Johnson, Joseph L. White,
J of this city, and others, but which conveyance
became void in consequence of the grantees fail
ing to comply with some of the stipulated con
ditions. The Col. pays only five hundred thou
sand dollars, which is pretty cheap considering
thathis farm is about as large as the State of New
York. Our correspondent does not say wheth
er the Colonel pays cash for tho whole, or
gave a mortgage for a part of the purchase
money.
Supplies for Sebastopol.—Ah American
writing to his friend in Washington from Paris,
the 23d ult-, says that the military stores and
supplies, now shipping from the Medierrnneuii
ports, are greater than any previous p“riod of
the war in the East. Seven American vessels
were at that time loading at Marseilles. Among
them was the Great Republic, 3,500 tons, just
returned with four hundred sick and wounded
soldiers. She is loading 2,600 tons of bomb
sells—the average weight of each probably one
hundred pounds, which would make the number
of fifty thousand shells in this one vessel. She
will also take four hundred homes.
Twelve large British steamers were also to
leave Marseilles in a few days. This does not
look as if the Allies expected to take(Sebastopol
soon.
Col. Kinney.—This redoubted gentleman
writes from San Juan, that he has become the
proprietor of tlie Shepherd tract of 300,000
acres. He lavishes upon the land the highest
praises. It is, according to his account an El
Dorado, rich in all the elements of prosperity
and happiness. Very soon the Colonel says he
will be able to invite the emigration of his fel
low countrymen into this region of promise—
this second Canaan.
Is the Louisville tragedy to be re
enacted in Georgia ?
We hope not. For tho sake of the good
name of our State, for the sake of the honor oi'
our People, and the Peace of society, we hope
not. W e hope every freman in Georgia will go
to the Polls, on the first Monday in October,
and vote as he pleases; and wo hope none will
be there to molest or make him afraid. Wo
say to our Democratic friends, in advance of
the election, (we have no red paper signs with
which to speak to you on election day) go qui
etly to the polls. Know your rights, and
peaceably maintain them. Avoid a difficulty
—abstain from a[l disorderly conduct; and if
“trouble” does come not of your seeking, don’t
go “prepared to meet it." No, fellow citizens.
dnn’t go "prepared to meet trouble;" let it
come more than half way, nay, all the tray ;
don’t go prepared to meet it. Leave your pre
parations at home. Put np the pistol and the
bowie-knife—lay down the War club, and go
out like free men and men of peace, and vote the
ticket your consciences approve and your judg
ment commends. If victory should perch upon
your standard,.and we believe it will, then your
triumph will not be sullied by the widow’s tear,
and the orphan’s broken hearted sigh.
If the Know Nothings of Georgia, wish to
see no trace of blood left after the election, let
them avoid all such irritating and fanatic ap
peals, as were made by the Louisville Journal,
to the blood thirsty spirits of Louisville. There
are but few foreigners in Georgia—let them
enjoy their privileges peaceably, and if "trouble”
comes and not laom the Know Nothings,
we shall go with the farthest in placing the
stigma where it belongs.— Fed. Union.
A Champion for Peace.—The editor of the
Columbus Corner Stone is out in a very just
condemnation of bullying and violence at the
polls.—He winds up his article as follows:
“We now notify all partit that if we liveun
til the session of the next £•> perior Court, we
will, in our own proper, person indict every man
who fights at the polls on the first Monday in
October next, be he rich or poor, of high or low
degree, gentleman or vagabond, no matter whom
it offends or whom it pleases, and we take it
that Judge Worrill is the man who will visit
the utmost penalties of the law upon al! who
resort to violence as such a time and at such a
place.”
B. H. Hill.
This gentleman seems to rest, with some con
fidence, his claims to the suffrages of the people
of the 4th Congressional District upon the
grounds of his being “born upon the soil of
Georgia, that his eyes were first opened upon
this beautiful world, beneath her sunny skies,
that his boyhood days were spent, in playing
upon her green landscapes,” (we quote his lan
guage at Greenville.) Now we have no fault
to find of Mr. Hill, merely because he was born
in Georgia, for we presume he had no control
over the circumstances, which caused him to be
bom in this State. We hold, that a man mav
happen to be born in Virginia, North or South
Carolina, and still be as good a Georgian in
feeling in interest, in devotion to Georgia, as
Mr. Hill,—Judge Warner is an older Georgian
than Mr. H. that is, he has resided here lon
ger, aud when Mr. H. was gamboling] upon
“her green landscapes,” Judges Warner was
making his impress upon the legislation of Geor
gia, as a member of her legislative councils, —
And ditriug a great part of the time, while Mr.
H. has been employed in the public services,
with honor to hi mil fund benefit to the people
he served. And we opine that it will yet be a
long time before Mr. H. attains to that capaci
ty represent his native State in Congress as that
now possessed by Judge Warner.— Empire

That 160 Acres.
We clip the following from the Columbus 1
Times & Sentinel of the 16tb inst:
“By the first act, quoted by the Columbus
Enquirer as part of the Nebraska Kansas net.
160 acres of land were donated, given without
consideration, to actual settlers, whether natu
ralized or not. in the territory of New Mexico
alone; by the act of 1841, applicable to all, the
public domain in every State and Territory in
tlie Union, and passed by a Whig majority
which the Columbus Enquirer supported, a mere
preemption was conferred upon actual settlers,
but no title could bo ’obtained until SI 25 per I
acre was paid into the public treasury. This is.the
act made applicable to Kansas. But even thia
privilege of pre-emption is not conferred by the
Kansas Nebraska act. It is conferred by the
act to establish the office oj Surveyor Irene'al of
New Mexico, tfc.”
We acknowledge that we had labored under
a wrong impression as to the provisions of the ■
Kansas and Nebraska act. We had seen and '
heard it often stated by the Know Nothing ed- *
itors and orators, that every person, whether*
native or foreigner, was entitled to 160 acres
of land as a donation, upon their settling in *
those territorses, we took it for granted it was ;
true, not having access to the act in question. !
But it seems that the Columbus Enquirer has i
“acknowledged the corn," and admits that the i
privileges above referred to, were only applica
ble to the Territorty of New Mexico. ' The
act of 1841, passed by a Whig majority, gives
to actual settlers the pre-emption right of 160
I acres of land by settling thereon and paying 81
;25 per acre: this act applies to all “the public
domain in every State and Territory of the
Union."— Empire State-
Putnam's Magazine, says: "Rachel has nev-'
er sought to ally her genius to goodness, and
has raUier despised than courted the aid of no
ble character. Not a lady by birth or breed
ing. she is reported to have surpassed Messa-;
lina in debauchery, and Semiramis in luxurv.
Paris teems with tales of her private life, which
while they are undoubtedly exaggerated, yet
serve to show the kind of impression her career
has produced. Those modern Sybarites, the
princes and nobles of Russia, are the heroes of,
her private romances. From other sources, wei
learu that she is a loving sister, a most devoted'
daughter, and a generous competitor."
[From the Augusta Constitutionalist
Judg<t‘ Andrews vs. Judge DeSa*-
seur.
Judge Andrews decided, in 1811, that a wit"
ne» who docfl not believe in » future state of
; rewards and punishments, is nut competent to
j testify in a Court of Justice—-and that thedeny-
■ ing a” person his oath, was not interfering at
I all with any of his ct'utZ rights. (See his public
| decisions).
Judge DeSa-seur, of South Carolina, decided
lin 1827, right to reverse. Any one who will
: read the whole of this decision, as delivered
Iby Judge D„ will see at once what o narrow
: minded man Judge Andrews is. Besides, Judge
Andrew’s decision dots not speak much for his
learning or reputation as a J udge. After sur
veying the whole ground, Judge D. adds: ***
In the case before us, the person offered as a
witnew believes in a Supreme Being, a God
i who is the ruler of the universe, and who is the
* avenger of falsehood. But in his. creed that
j vengeance is poured out on the foresworn wit
n&o in thia life, and not in another state of ex
istence. He believes the impious wretch can
neither escape detection from the eye of Onnii
sccnce nor punishment from Omnipotence*. It
does appear to me that this is a sufficient sanc
tion to guarantee the*attainment of truth from
a witness. It is said by very learned men that
the Mosaic dispensation did not look beyond re
wards and punishments in this life, and even in
our Savior’s time, the Sadducees did not be
lieve in a future state. Yet oaths were requir-
■ ed abundantly under that system as well as un
j der all heathen systems. There is yet another
' sanction drawn from human laws. Every
' witness knows that he gives evidence under pe
nalties provided by human laws to punish false
hood in testimony.
I would not, however, press the argument,
because it might lead too far, and admit even
those who deny wholly, the existence of God,
or Providence’ or punishments in this or anoth
er world.
What has made a great impression on my
mind, is, that the objection is of vast extent,
the limits of which I cannot perceive. It might
exclude all those from being witnesses who do
not believe in the eternity of punishment. It
may exclude Roman Catholies who believe that
punishments in another world may be avoided
altogether by absolution, or diminished by masses
and prayers. In short, I know not where, the
objection would stop in its Operation, and- it
would be more mischievous in this country than
in any other, because tlie unbounded liberty of
conscience enjoyed by our citizens. leads to
many aberations from the standard of belief
which others think correct. The business of
the Court is not with opinions.
The only question is, whether there is reason
able ground to believe that we have such a tie
on the conscience of the person offered as wit
ness, as may ensure his telling the truth. I
think we have in the case I am considering,
and feel bound to admit the witness as compe
tent.
There was another ground on which it is my I
duty to express an opinion. It was contended
for the defendant, that the witness was entitled
to be sworn, because the Constitution of the
State guaranteed liberty of conscience, which
would be violated by excluding citizen.: from
being witnesses on account of their religious
opinions. The first Section of the eighth Ar
ticle of the Constiation is that relied on. That
section provides that the free exercise and en
joyment of religious profession and worship
without discrimination or preference, shall here
after be allowed within this State to all man
kind, provided that the liberty of conscience
thereby be declared shall not be construed as to
exercise acts of licentiousness, or justify practi
ces inconsistent with the peace and safety of the
State. Ou the argument of the of tlie case, it
was contended by the counsel who opposed the
the admission of Mr. Jones as a competent wit
bess, that the inquiry into his religious opinions
did not contravene this art icle of the Constitu
tion, that he might still enjoy his religious pro
fession and worship, notwithstanding such ex
clusion, and that the exclusion would merely
operate on his civil and religious rights. I have
considered this subject with attention, and
am not satisfied with this argument. If a
man’s religious opinions are made a ground to
exclude him from his civil rights, then he does
not enjoy the freedom of his religious profession
' and worship. His exclusion from being a
witness in Courts of Justice, is a serious
injury to him, and others who think with
him. If men may be excluded for their
religious opinions from being witnesses,
they may be excluded from being Jurors or
I Judges, and the Legislature might enact a law
excluding such persons from holding any other
office, or serving in the legislature, or becom
ing teachers of schools, or Professors of Col
leges.
In my opinion, this would be in the very
teeth of the Constitution, and would violate the
spirit of our institutions. 1 do not know in
what that state would differ from the galling
restraints on the Irish Roman Catholics, which
have so long kept that beautiful country and
that high spirited people in a state of dejpvda
tion and misery, of discontent and rebellion.—
It would seem to me to be mockery to say to
men. you may enjoy tlie freedom of your reli
gious profession and worship; but if you differ
from us in certain dogmas or d points of belief,
yon shall be disqualified and deprived of tlie
rights of a citizen, to which yon would be en
titled but for those differences of religions opin
ion. The Proviso in the first Section of the
Constitution, stales tlie sole limitation to the
freedom of profession and worship. The res
triction is upon acts and practices, find not up
on opinions. Now. tlie lielief iu this ease of
Mr. Jones, who is objected as a witness, that
there will not lie rewards and punishments in
another state of existence for de ds done in
this, is neither an act nor a pactice—it is mere
dy an opinion, u religious profession. He
1 oes believe in the punishment of evil deeds,
but it is in this world, under the superintending
Providence of the Omniscient God. who can
never Ik decived us to the import of hu
man? actions, of their motives. This, I
think, gives u sufficient tie on his conscience.
Upon the whole, lam of opinion that on
principle, us well as on the provisions of the
Constitution, Mr. Jones is a competent witnosA;
and the party interested in the will of Mr.
John Henderson, is entitled to the benefit of
his testimony. I feel strengthened in the
view of the ease by the growing liberality of
the age.

A few days since, one of the drivers of a team
used for haulling cars on the Market-street rail
road caught the son of a tavern keeper on one
of the cars while it was in motive. He took
the boy off and gave him several cuts with his
whip. Some of the tavern keeper’s neighbors
saw the act and made quite a noise about it,
and informed the father of the boy. He (the
father) let on to be very indidigant, and told
them if they would show him the driver he
would settle with him. The driver was watch
ed for and when seen the father was informed
of it. The team was stopped, and the driver in
vited into the tavern and asked if he was the
man that struck the boy! "Yes,” replied the
driver, “and I shall do it acain if I cateh him on
the cars." The indigaaut father put his hand
violently in his pocket and drew out a dollar,
which he gave the driver for the good service
he had performed.
Northern and Southern Physicians.—Dr.
A. B. Campbell, of Philadelphia, has returned
to that city from Norfolk, his services having
been respectfully declined, from a sense of high
humanity—it being the experience of the Nor
folk authorities thus far, thut physicians from
the North only risk their lives, without benefit
ting the sufferers. Hence no more Northern
physicians will lie received, there being enough ‘
from New Orleans and other points" of the (
South who are aoaiimated, and who therefore I
run but little risk, comparatively tpeaktag. j
Filial Affection of the Know*
nothings.
A chap in Franklin county having bean fur
a lung time paying hja addresses to a very pret
ty girl, whose tather was born Ln England, he a
lew weeks ago popped the question, 'fhe
young lady asked him if he was not a know-noth
ing. After hemming and hawing a good deal,
the swain acknowledged that ho was. ‘Then,’
replied the damsel, ‘1 cannot marry you. I can
never marry a man that would disi'ranchise my
own father.’"
The above we clip from one of our Indiana ex
changes. in reading it we were forcibly remind
ed of a case in this city in which a young gen
tleman was not so consid crate of his father as
the lady above mentioned was of hers. The
young gentleman referred to is a member of an
honorable profession and is possessed of a fine
education, which a devoted father found means
to give him by makiug sacrifices, and by unre
mitting toil day after day and night after night.
With a knowledge of these facte, one would
suppose that an affectionate and grateful son
would have made it a life study to find means to
requite all this kindness, at least in some small
degree, and that every impossible means- would
be used to make pleasant the declining years
of the good old man, who, by the way, is a de
voted and consistent Catholic, and a native
born Kentuckian, who served his country faith
fully on the field of battle in tbe times that
tried men’s souls, and whose father before him
did the same. But the young man became in
fatuated with the know-nothing movement, and
for reasons best known to himself, took a sol
emn OATH TO PROSCRIBE THAT GOOD OLD FATH
ER, VOWED BEFORE HIGH HeAVHX THAT HB
WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HIM OR SUPPORT HIM IN
CASE HF. WAS A CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE, AND,
STILL FARTHER, SWORE THAT IP EVER PLACBD IN
OFFICE AND THAT FATHER WAS IN THE OCCUPAN
CY OF A SUBORDINATE POSITION, HU WOULD
PROMPTLY REMOVE HIM.

Protestant Sisters of Chamix.—lt is re
ported that quite an extensive movement is now
on foot, among the ladies attached to some of
the Episcopal churches in the city of New York,
to found a relegious and charitable order, similar
to tbe sisters of charity.—They have already
provided a house, were tbe ladios- (who must
be single to belong to it) meet, and after appro
priate religious exercise, spend their time in
makiug up garments for the poor, and projec
ting plans to supply their necessities. There are
’ no vows token as yet, nor is any peculiar dress
worn as they above all things desired not- to be
conspicuous. Among them, it is said, ore young
ladies moving in the moat wealthy and fashiona
ble circles in New York society. The movement

High Church Episcopalians.
Wealth and Office.—“ The compensation to
the officers of the United States, in various ins
tances, and in none more than in respect to the
most important stations, appear to call for legis
lative revision. The consequences of a defective
provision are of serious import to the government.
If private wealth is to supply the defect of public
retribution, it will greatly contract tbe sphere
within which tho selection of cliaracter for office
is to be made, and will proportionally diminish
to the probability of a choice of men able as
well as upright. Besides thot it would be repug
nant to the vital principles of our government
virtually to exclude from public trusts, talents
and virtue unless accompained by wealth.—

Dr. Chaloner, of Philadelphia, who

elapse before some of them can be removed to
their homes with safety. The body of Mr.
Otis Fisk was removed on Saturday to Con

Pay in Advance.
VTc find some things that we like in the fol
lowing remarks of the Anglo-Canadian ■
“No subscriber worth retaining will object
to the pay-in-advance system. Those who went
to hear Jenny Lint! had to pay in advance, and
what were her divinest strains compared with
those which flow from editorial pens? Yon
can’t take a seat in a rickety mail coach, or
fly-from-the-track railroad car, without paying
iti advance for the risk of being killed. If yon
would hear a concert, or literary lecture, or see
Tom Thumb, or the Siamese twins, you must
plank down your twenty-five cents Wore you
can pass the threshold. Nay if any one has so
little regard for his own character as to want
to read Barnum’s autobiography, he must first
pay for it. And yet men hesitate and cavil
about paying in advance for a paper furnished
at a price on the very brink and utmost verge
of prime cost"
flsa** A gossipping correspondent of tbe New
York Mirror, writing from Philadelphia, tells
us the fashions there this season are “excessive
ly fanciful
’ “Those uglv, detestable plaids, better suited
to cover the floor titan a delicately formed lady,
have again come in vogue ■ and, In order to
show them to more advantage, whalebones or
hoops ere employed, which give an extra full
ness to the skirt Brood stripes, which, being
truly American and in perfect accordence with
the republican spirit of 1855, must be admired,
are to be worn extensively; but. unfortunately,
the neat gaiter boot which off the prettv
foot and the well formed ankle ! s to be discard
ed, and in its place high-bevM slippers, with
large rosettes, are to be iiitr-Huced. As re
gards bonnets, they appear t > grow frightfully
less, and before winter sets in st is probable that
a large rosettes fixed on the bock of the head
will take its place.”

bout at fisticuffs, in which the former was nota i
bly worsted. About 5 o’clock in the afternoon .
they again met at the corner of Bryan street l
and market square, when Tripp, drawing a re
peater, fired upon Wilson. Tlie fire was re- i
turned from a single barrelled pistol in the
hands of Wilson. Tho shot took effect upon
Tripp, who nevertheless fired again, three times,
at his antagonist. Wilson was wounded slight

of the lungs. He was immediately placed un-.
der the care of Dr. Mackall. His position is'

Texas.—The telegraphic dispatch from Tex
as, in our paper of Wednesday, that the know
nothings had elected a Member of Congress and
probably a majority in the Legislature, was as
false as it could well be be. The majority for
Peasb (dem.) for Governor is very large. Both
the democratic candidates for Congress are
elected; and more than two-thirds of the mem
bers of tbe Legislature are anti-know-nothing
democrats. We are prepared for almost any
sort of falsehood by the know-nothings who
seem to have control of the telegraph news.—
But the news in question, from Texas, after the
result in favor of the democrats had been well
ascertained, seems to have been a causeless mis
representation of facts, for it is difficult
to imagine a motive.— Nashville Union tr
