in mind, they would be less niggardy with their
money In constructing parks, beautiful gardens

Of art, tending to please the eye and cultivate
the taste. So fully convinced are European
governments of the civlizng and moralizlng ad-
vantages Of this out-ot-home education, that a
great deal of money is spent in thus improving
State property.
In England where the people have had least
access TO such things, there is the greatest
amount of rudeness, want of polish, and abso-
lutte ignorance and it ought ever to be borne in
mind, that if money be not pro6tably spent in
improving public taste, it will have to be spent
in larger amount in restraining those wilful pas
sions which spring up everywhere with igno
rance.

NOMINATION OF Mr.. AsHE-The Journal of

gress in this district This is n ovement some.

told those editors who should be the nom.
inee. We are glad to see this it looks as If the
press was shaking off the trammels of dctation
by clubs and cliques, and claiming to understand
public sentiment as well rs once-seekers.
We have not heard that the Wings intend TO
raise any opposition to Mr.. Ashe. He has faith
fully attended to the interests Of this section.
and has not permitted party tactics TO influence
him in so important matter. This is all that a
people want, who prefer the advancement of in.
dustrial enterprise to the empty name Of a
political trumph--who love the interest Of the
people better than the elevation of demagogues
to place and power.
We may add that the Nomination Of Mr. Ashe
is made in good taste, by the papers alluded to.
There is nothing said about "unterrified democ.
racy," about the Democratic .parfy being the
country and other humbugs indicative Of polti
cal folly and calculated to sraise the dander of
the Wings" We hope there will be no oppos-
ton. We know Of one quarter from whence

The Memphis Appeal thus defines the posi-
ton of the two parties in that State, Of which
Campbell and Irousdale are the respective rep
resentatives
"The issue between the two candidates on
the compromise" was fully made up in their
opening speeches ut Springfield, and is now
probably understood fully throughout the State.
Judge Campbell defends the whole scheme as
CONSTITUTIONAL and as eminently wise, equal and
just Perhaps we may make an exception of
the law aboshing the slave trade, and in GER
tain cases, slavery, in the District OF Columbia I;
this he defended ms "peace offering" to the an
ti-savery feeling of the North. On these
grounds he invokes the people Of Tennessee nc t
only to acquiesce in them, but to declare their
emphatic approval of them, by electing him to
the Office of governor. Gen. Trousdale denies
the justice and equality of the compromise !;
maintains that it contains no concession to the
South, and that the Fugitive law cannot be re
garded as such, since it is but recognition of
an express and uudisputed constitutional pro-
vision. Yet he is willing to abide by it in con-
sideration of the Union. But while he takes
these positions he thinks that if the South would
arrest the progress ofaggression, instead of rat.
flying and emphatcally approving system of
laws which do not confer on her one single,
tangible benefit, but on the contrary infiicts
grievious wrongs, she should announce authori-
tativeIy her emphatic condemnation Of the
scheme. The issue is clear and explicit; and no
inger uity can evade it, no honest argument can
change it. None but demagogues will seek to
raise that of Union or disunion, or attempt to
convince the people that that is the question to
be decided.

Mr.. WEBSTER ON THE ADMISSION OF NEW
STArEs.-We publish in another column an ex-
tract from Mr. Webster's late Buffalo speech
We have confined ourself to that portion Of his
remarks in which he sets forth his views in ref
erence to the admission of new slave States or
territory-Itis due to Mr. Webster to say that
he comes out manfully in this speech in favor
of maintaining the Fugitive slave law and the
guarantees Of the Constitution But as the next
issue between the North and South-the issue
which is to determine the fate of our political
Union, will in all probability be a struggle on
the part of the South to maintain her political
equality by the admission Of new slave States
out of the territory of Texas, it is interesting to
know at the time what part Mr.. Webster and
his Union friends of the free States a. likely to
take in the contest.
By the terms of admission of Texas she il

which were 10 be admitted into the Union as
slave States, and although large portion Of her
territory has been given over to free soil by the

claim admission for these States into the Union,
which claim will be supported by the Southern
people unanimously. Georgia, who in her dec.

prominent member If We ure sincere 10 our
