We perceive from the Nashville Union that National
Bank prominent question in the gubernatoria contest
which is now going on in Tennessee. The Taylor party,
amidst all its professions to be true to the instincts
of its nature and to be we'll versed in the tricks and
Hcontrivances by which ancient federalism sought to dupe
and deceive the people. The party now in power, al
though it processes to be national party has not the
manliness to come forward before the whole country
with statement of its political creed Its real princi-
pies since the signal rebuke which they received in
1874 have been studiously concealed whenever the
people have had opportunity to pronounce its
verdict The failure and refusal of the whg party
to lay down any general system of national policy
has left the portions of the party in each State to adapt
their political professions to the tone of public sentiment
in their particular portions of the Union This plan Of
operations succeeded in 1910 and in 1s4S AS soon
the gov eminent was turned to the wings in 1871
all disguise thrown aside, and every feature of fede
ralism was fully revealed And now that the government
has been yielded up to paryism, see on all sides
pregnant and convincing proof that the of 1911
to be renewed, and that system of policy whose
soundness General Taylors friends and supporters were
afraid question before the people will be assaled by
General Taylors administrations and we are convinced
that if the democratic party does rally the supper,
noparyism will retrieve the fallen fortunes of feder-
aism. The policy of the late administration has no
friend in General Taylor's cabinet The benefits which
has showeed upon the country will weigh but little
in whig balances. The wing leaders care bu, little
for the interests OF labor the prosperity of agricul
ture and commerce, when measured with their deep
devotion to the money capital of the country and
their subservency TO the councils of chartered compa-
MES and corporations In our remarks OF yesterday
the able letter of New York commercial correspond
ent we had occasion to notice the financial scheme
recommended by Vice President Fillmore, brought for
ward just before he resigned the comptroershp of New
York; order to fill his present position by which ii is
proposed that the State banks may depose any amount
of United States stock and issue equal amount of theft
own notes, which shall be receivable specie in
payment of all government dues; thus bringing the
legislation of the federal government to the aid OF
the national debt, and the credit of the nation which
pyes value to those evidences, into banking cap;,a
upon which corporations may thrive and grow fat In
Tennessee, the Nashville Union informs u.s. Neil s
Brown, the wing candidate for governor is lauding the
beauties of the banking system, and urging the blessings
which new national bank would confer In view OF
these circumstances feel it to be our duty to warn
the democratic party and the whole people, against the
nsdlous designs of the party in power Ii has gained
power by abstaning from any assault upon the demo-
! ceallng from the people its own views and designs,
