Al meeting Of the Democracy of Sumner
county, Tenn, on the I'd inst, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
Be It RESOLVED, That we cordially approve
of the " Address Of the Southern Delegates in
Congress TO their constituents al their late
meeting in Washington.
Resolved. That we are OF opinion that the
first and most indispensable step,is 10 be firm
~ united among ourselves on this most vital
question, and that the time has arrived when
we should join our fellow citizens of other
sections in arresting the further progress of
such injustice, oppression, and degra !ation.
Resoired. That we approve of the senti
ments and tone of the Address referred 10, and
commend the mild yet determined spirit that
it displays, and are prepared TO cooperate
with our brethren of the South in the adoption
OF such measures as will most effectually Sc
cure 10 US the rights and enjoyments of pro.
perty, and relieve and protect Us from future
insult and encroachment.
Resolred, That our representatives in the
ensuing Legislature be requested, 10 bring the
subject before that body, so that they may de-
termine the most suitable manner and mode ~
of arresting the present aggressions upoh the
rights and privileges of the South, and prov-
ding for the future safety and security OF our
institutions.

REMOVALS FOR CAUSE >,

By way of justification for the number of
removals that are being made by Gen. Taylor
and his Cabinet, it is alleged by the Federal
organs that many of them are made for ''cause"
Now what is this "cause ," Be-"cause /"
they are Democrats. 1t is folly 10 say that
it is because they have been Pariizans,
for in nine cases out of ten, those appointed
in their stead have been far stronger and more
bitter partizans-but on the other side 1t
cannot then be their partnership, but their
Democracy, that makes the '' head and front -
of their offending. Why have not the organs
of the Federal party the honesty 10 state this
at once: 1t is only what those who are dis
placed have right to expect and demand
Gen. Taylor has, time and again, made the
assertion that he will remove no man for opin.
ion sake, who is honest and capable Is not,
then, removal under his administration equi-
vaient TO an accusation of want of honesty
and capability? Is not the attempt to keep
up this delusion of no-partyism, by suggesting
IS cause" when no cause but that of differ.
elce OF opinion exists, a crying injustice
direct libel upon the character of those who
are not only deprived of their Office. but are
sought to be robbed of their reputation Is i
not, in fact. adding insult to injury cruelty

THE POLITICAL PRESCRIPTION SUB
JECT.

The Union and the National Inlelligencer
are holding an excited controversy on the sub
ject of prescription under the several admins
Tations. We gave few days since some
statistics on the subject from the Intelligent
Ger, refuting the charge of prescription by
Gen. Tayor's administration, and now give
g rebuting testimony" which the Union brings
forward in favor of democratic administrations
generally. 1t publishes table from the Ex-
ira Globe, of May. 1s41, showing as follows:
When Nr. John Quincy Adams and Mr..
Henry Clay turned over the government 10
Gen. Jackson in 1929, there were only fftg-
sir democrats to ttro hundred and forty wings
in office here in Washington. The democrat
ic party continued in power for twelve conse-
cutve years; and yet, when Gen. Harrison
was in auguarated, there were more wings
than democrats holding office in the depart
ments here-(276 wings, 224 democrats.)
The aggregate amount of the salaries received
by these wing Office holders exceeded the ag-
gregate amount received by the democrats at
that time US4D by the sum of $44,613 This
oxcess was increased by two months and five
days of wing prescription TO S114,313! We
publish below statement taken from official
documents, which shows the removal Of some
OF the higher classes of officers during the pc
Rod from the election of Gen. Jackson 10 that

months OF wing rule in 1871:

DISTRICT CONVENTION.

It will be seen from the proceedings of a
meeting of the Democratic citizens of New
Hanover County, held in this place on We'd
Resday night last, that in consideration of the
fact then announced to the meeting, that Hon.
J. J. Mckay could not consent again TO serve
as our representative in Congress, it was re-
solved to recommend the holding of District
Convention, at Clinton, on the 31st day OF
May next, for the purpose of bringing out a
suitable candidate 10 represent this District.
We have no doabt that, under all the cir
cumstapces, this is The best means of ascer-
tanning the wishes of the District at the pres
ent time, and we do sincerely hope that our
sister Counties will adopt such measures as
will ensure full Convention. This we deem
of the utmost importance, as it is necessary
that every portion of the District should be
fully and fairly represented.

RECEPTION OF Ex-PRESIDENT POLK
AT HOME

Yesterday was day long to be remember.
ed by the citizens OF Columbia and Maurv
county. On Monday evening last it was I'M.
defstood that ex-President Polk would. ON
yesterday reach Columbia This intelligence
went out into the country, and on Thursday
morning the people, without distinction of
party, began to come in from every direction,
not only from Maury, but from Marshall,
Giles, and Lewis counties, for the purpose of
welcoming back an old friend, who has so re-.
Gently filled, with so much honor TO himself
and glory to the country, the highest station
known among men. At half-past O'Clock
the committee of reception, consisting of the
following gentlemen, went ont some three
miles from town to meet the ex-President, to
wit James H. Thomas. F. Z. Roche, A. L.
Pillow, c. J. Dickerson, w. S. Fleming, W.
C. Whitthorne, A. M. Looney, A. w. Hiiliard,
C. B. Duncan, L. F. Pillow, ]. r. Groves, w.
u. Webster, r. B. Moore, nj. Smith, and P.
Nelson.
AS the ex-President, his amiable and ac-
conplished lady, and the committee of recep-
tiou advanced towards town, they were met
by an immense concourse ofladies and gentle
men, in carriages and on horseback. A short
distance from town the procession was joined
by the excellent Brass Band, and by hand
some military company from Jackson college,
and by hundreds of citizens on foot. The
excellent music of the band and the ringing
of the bells, announced the approach of the
long procession. The procession marched
through the pnblic square, which was dense
| ly crowded with spectators, and proceeded OPP
poste TO the State Bank When the vast as
semblage had gathered as near as possible;
Major General Gideon ]. Pillow, who Had
| been selected by the committee for that pur-
pose, proceeded to welcome back Mr.. Polk to
| the society of his old friends and neighbors,
| in brief, but in one of the most eloquent
speeches that we have ever had the pleasure
| OF listening to- Mr.. Folks response vas SUBJ
lime. eloquent, and appropriate indeed. The
touching manner in which he alluded to the
associations of other days, brought tears from
the eyes of hundreds OF his auditors. We
will not do the speeches the injustice OF at
tempting to describe them. but hope 10 be able
10 procure copies for publication.
After the speeches had been concluded, the
committee and the procession accompanied Mr..
Polk 10 the residence of his esteemed mother,
whom he had not met in more than four years,
where Mr.. Polk during the evening received
the congratulations and good W shes of hun
dreds of his friends of both political parties.
We say again that yesterday will long be re-
membered by the good people of Columbia
and Maury county.
We are happy to state that the exPresident
has nearly entirely recovered from his recent
illness, and it is hoped that he will soon again
recover his accustomed strength and health.

Politicdl-Doesn't it beat all-the Nation
al lnteIligencer is berating the democrats for
alleged coalitions with the free soilers! Old
Rip Van Wrinkle has just walked up. Where
was the old fellow.
1. When the wings and free sellers of n.
Hampshire elected Hale Senator, and Wilson
and Tuck Representatives
2. When the wings and free soilers of
Massachusetts elected Horace Mann and John
&. Palfrey Representatives
3. When the wings were voting for Mil
lard Fillmore for Vice President?
4. When two free soiers, Ewing and Col
lamer. were appointed 10 the Cabinet
5. When the host of northern wings were
avowing that Taylor was proviso man?
What will these wings do next? WHY il
isn't twelve month since the Massachusetts
wings were arguing and resolving that the
free soiters and the trhigs were one in spirit
and principle, and only taco as TO men, and
hence demonstrating that the abolitonist1
ought 10 vote for true wings What are we
coming to!
The National Intelligencer played dummit
on the proriso question all through the NO
party" contest, but the avalanche of three de-
mocralic representatives from Connecticut, ir
the face and eyes of its free soil ukase, has
at length given its speech. 1t has bras.
enough to accuse the Union of inconsistency
for rejoicing over the election of three demo
Gratis, on account of their free soil tendencies
when it urged the election OF three out ane
