Gov. YELL, AND MR. WALKER.-It will be seen, from the following card that in consequence of the unusually high water, which has over(owed the country, Governor YELL, and Mir. WALKER will be unable to fill their appointments, to speak, in the eastern counties, for some time to come; and that they have suspended hostilities until the llth of July at which time, they will speak at Mount Yer non, St. Francis county, according to present ap- pointment.
 P. S. Gov. YELL will fill his appointments at Hot Springs, and Benton by addressing the people at those places, respectively, on the 27h and 29th days of this month.

TIE MINATIoNs.-Intelligence has reached from almost every quarter of the Union since the nominations have been made by the Democratic Ma tonal Convention; and every Democratic voice to us in loud glad tones of cordial response We have not seen the first indication of dssatisfac- tion, from any source; but on the contrary, every Democratic press, and every individual Democrat, have received the nominations with applause and delight; and will unite in their support with readi- and cordiality rarely equalled any occasion. The Globe, which was most ultra, and uncompro- missing, in favor of the nomination of Mir. Van Bu- ren, admits that the present nominations have proven the 'salvation of the party" The Albany Argus nails the flag of Polk and Dalias to it's mast head, and gives it warm support. The Washington Spectator, of the best and ablest papers in the Union, and hitherto in the special interest of Hf. Calhoma, now hoists the Polk and Dallas flag, and even takes the lead in their support. Indeed, it is a universal thing, throughout the Union. Wherever there is Democratic paper, there is Polk and Dallas organ; and wherever there is Democrat, there is a Polk and Dallas man. Besides this, the TEXAS question will add thousands on thousands to their strength It is perfectly delightful to witness the spirit of the Tennessee press They receive the nominations there, with thrilling shout of loud ac- camation.

BLAIR UPON KENDALL.

The discussion as to Mr.. Folks grandfather,
has brought out proof that he was Of the sign
ers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and was captain of company of Revolu-
tlonary Wings, whom he led against the Tories
Kendall.
Upon reference to the Mecklenburg Declaration
of independence, contained in the American Ar.
chlves, we find that the impression which has
generally obtained, that Ezekiel Polk, Col. Folks
grandfather. was sgner of that celebrated in
struMent, is erroneous. The name attached to
that Declaration, which has led to this impression,
is that of Thomas Polk, who was the grand uncle
of Col. Polk, as stated by Gen. Saunders in the
Baltimore Convention; and Gen. Saunders was
the Mecklenburg delegate to that Convention.

We subjoin the following extract from Ken.
dall's paper for two reasons First, to show the
contempt which the Belzebub of Locofocoism at
tempts to cast upon MIR. Clay, not for any mis-
deed of his ancestor, but because he was poor
and obscure. He makes a doubt whether Mr.
Clay " had any grandfather at ALL" and whether
the Clay family did not, by exhalation, rise up out
Of the slashes of Hanover. That is the very Ian
guage in which the nobility and arstocracy of
England speak Of poor people, If a man of rare
genius rises in England from an humble condition
to be great author or statesman, any questions
as to his parentage are answered, like Kendall
answers his own questions about Mr.. Clay, /" he
had none.'' The Locofocos boosted in the outset
OF the campaign, that Mr.. Polk was descended
from one of the Oldest, most distinguished, and
patriotic families in North Carolina, but finding
the question of his patriotic pedigree "vexed
question:" and the books of heraldry telling some
ugly stories about Red coats in the direct line of
his descent, new scheme is hit upon of assa-
ing Mr.. Clay on account of the obscurity of his
name.
2dly. Kendall says if Mr.. Clay's grandfather
was not tory, he was perhaps, rebel. !"
Doubtless he was, as were all good Wings:
'slMPoRTANT INQUIRY.-What SORT of a man acas
Henry Claws grandfather In their eagerness
to prove Mr.. Folks grandfather tory, the Wings
have forgotten to inquire what sort of man their
own candidates grandfather was, or whether he
had any at all? If he had no grandfather, he is
certainly not fit for President and if he had one
we have no doubt he was at least British sub
jeck and if not Tory was Rebel.
"Wc trust the honest fellows, who are at
tempting to prove Mr.. Folks disqualification for
his grandfathers sins, will look we'll to the merits
or dement's of Mr.. Clay's grandfather. We have
never heard of that parsonage, and it may be that
the Clays are mere exhaaton Of the sashes of
Hanover, with no other ancestry than mud

Mr.. Jefferson, whom the infamous pack Of
scoundrels who rule in Tammany Hall worship
with their lips" laid it down, that the dispensers
of official patronage have no right to make any
other inquiry into the fitness of the appointee,
than those which pertain to his qualification for
office. Mr.. Jefferson declared, that in making
appointments, he only asked, +" is he honest, is he
capable, is he faithful to the Constitution" And
yet the piratical confederacy of Tammany Hall,
who dictate and control the Locofoco party of
New York, while affecting slavsh reverence
for the opinions of Mr.. Jefferson, demand the dis
charge of Office holders who have too much m,nly
honesty to submit to the assessed tax of politi-
cal junto We have little doubt that their be-
hest will be obeyed by their creature, Governor
Bouck, who holds his place upon the tenure of
their favor. We doubt, since there is "honor
among thieves" if the politics of Botany Bay, or
the Isle of Pines are whit more corrupt than
those of the Locofocos, of the Tammany Hall
stamp, in New York.

CORRUPT RASCALITY OF THE NEW
YORK LOCOFOCOS.

The New York American contains circular
issued by the democratic Republican General
Committee at Tammany Hall" "requiring" (that
is the term they use,) the person to whom it is
addressed, to pay $40 to the committee, for the
purpose of carrying on the present political cam
paign. The American saws that other officers
have received missive of similar purport and
since several have refused to obey the Tammany
mandate, the General Committee have adopted a
resolution instructing the Governor of New York
to remove all such refractory persons from office
"who do not pay the finance committee their as
scssments.''
1t is really lamentably Indicative of the deprav-
ity of the times, when such infamous corruption
can pass without the heavy censures of the press
1t reflects no credit upon the State of New York,
that any party, and particularly the ascendant
party, should openly resort to such vllanous prac-
tices-we say villanous, because the plan of the
Tammany Committee is just the plan which pi-
rates, and other confederated thieves, resort to,
tor maintaining "the general welfare" 1t is
impossible that any honorable man can for one
moment submit to the leves of the Tammany
Junto, and those who do submit are fit for slaves,
or the scurvy tools of tyrant. We should sup.
pose that the bare discovery of the fact would be
sufficient to damn any party in the estimation of
moral, enlightened community.

THE PEOPLE MOVING /!
THE GREAT NASHVILLE CONVENTION.
SECOND DAY.

SECOND DAY.
The second day proceedings of the Mass Con-
vention, if less exciting from the absence of the
pageant of the day before, were not the less in
teresting, from the distinguished character of the
intellectual entertainment provided both at the
Convention ground and in the city.
Mr.. Hunt, of Louisiana, led off in the morning
at the Convention ground. The speaking was
continued by Albert Pike, Esq, of Arkansas,
Judge Hopkins, of Alabama, Governor Jones, of
Tennessee, Cat the urgent request of the guests
from abroad,) Humphrey Marshall, Esq, of Ken
lucky, and Captain Nicholas Davis, of Alabama,
who closed the session of the Convention at the
Grove.
!. The speaking was resumed at the Courthouse
in the town by the Hon. Mr.. Graves, of Ken
lucky, and Sargent S. Prcntiss, Of Mississippi
The Nashville papers speak in the highest terms
of the brilliant efforts of these gentlemen and of
that of Mr.. Prentiss particularly.

ARKANSAS.

The St. Louis Republican furnishes us with
the following, showing the workings of the "har-
monious Democracy" in Arkansas
"An election is to be held in the State of Ar
kansas on the first Monday of October, for Gov
ernor, members of the Legislature, and repre-
sentative in Congress. There are three parties
to the contest, though all the malignity and Bit
terness of the strife is confined to the two Sec
tions of the Locofoco party. The "centra clique"
of that State have had three nominations for Gov
ernor: the first was so obnoxious as to require
his withdrawal from the canvass the second run
awhile, got tired of the odds against him, and
gave up in disgust; the third, Gen. Drew, was
put up by sort of poney convention at Little
Rock, and is regarded as the regular nominee.
He is a Polk man now, and has been alternately
nullifer and Wing. All this while reg-
ment of the same party have had Gen. Byrd in
the field as their candidate, and the Wings have
DR.. Gibson, popular and talented man, warning
successfully upon both factions. Between the
two parties, it is not at all improbable that the
Wing candidate for Governor will be elected. 1t
is very clear to us that he ought to be, for il we
are to believe what the organs of the rival can
didates say of them and of their advocates the
whole of them are better qualified for the peni-
Tertiary than for Offices of honor and profit
Charges of fraud, of swindling, of perjury, and
forgery are dealt out against the prominent men
with recklessness which amazes us and in one
case, while the editor declares his intention to
support one of the Polk electors, he intmates
very great doubt whether the man has honesty
enough to give the vote as it is intended he should
do. If the people of Arkansas are wise they will
cut loose from Locofocoism"

A THRILLING INcIDENT.-Upon the occasion of
recent Wing meeting in Nashville Tennessee,
flag was presented to one of the Clubs by the
grand daughter of the brave old Revolutionary
soldier, General Greene. who, in consideration of
his generous bearing in the field and council, was
aptly called the right of the beloved Wash
lngton. The fair orator made beautiful and
thrilling address, reverting most happily to the
historic truth, that the Wings of 1914 are actua-
ted by the same principles, and animated by the
same noble impulses, as were the Wings of 1776
principles which look alike to the independence
of the nation, and the prosperity and welfare of
the people, and impulses which have their foun-
dations in the best and hottest affections of the
human bankruptcies which cherish in kind
ness all that tends to elevate man in the scale of
human society, and to preserve in their integrity
those institutions erected by our Revolutionary
sres, as bulwarks of safety to the cause of free
dom.
1t must have been a proud reflection to the
Wings OF Nashville, to have in their midst, on
that day, gem of such priceless value perform
ing an Office SO holy at the altar of PATRIOTISM
Proud must they have felt, as they looked on the
fair descendant OF the companion of Washington,
engaged in the dedication of a work seeking the
preservation of the Union-of that Union which
had been cemented in blood, after seven long
years devoted to suffering, prvation, and danger.

A Hickory PoLE.-The Washington Globe
says hickory pole was erected on Monday in
front Of the Globe office. The first shaft, it says,
shows by its annulars that it is seventy seven
years old, just the age of Gen. Jackson. A young
hickory was grated on its top, and to the flag Of
the Union flying from it, there was streamer
with the names of Polk and Dallas, and the stars
of Texas and Oregon.-Norfolk Beacon.
Not so fast: it was intended to top off the pole
with "young hickory" but, in attempting it,
the "old hickory" refused to carry the weight,
and the "young hickory snapped off and tum-
bled to the ground. Another was procured,
which proved rotten at the core, and they cast it
aside, and substituted a pine sapling for it.
