The Issue in Tennessee.

The only tangible issue made IN
the present Gubernatorial canvass, is
made on the fugitive slave law
Trousdale, and the entire democratic
party, declare in terms chat the Sc
wardites can not nlisunderstand,. that
they viii never submit TO lmodIfica-
ton or repeal of this law. While
the whig party with Judge Campbell
atsstheir head, win not say whether
they would submit or resist, were
there an attempt made to modify or
repeal it. Who is right? Eet JUS
tice answer the question.
, We regard this law as the only Sc
curity that the South has against
the aggressive spirit Of the North.
Then shall we tamely submit, while
taey -wrest from our hands the last
quiyer in our bow Of defance7 No.
Let every southern nun in Che true
spirit OF patriotism, answer no.
We are willing to take the Con-
promise as it stands, and sacrifice
those southern rights that it does not
secure, for the sake of the Union. -
But where is the MN. that inhaIes
the pure atmosphere of southern
cline, that IS willing to yielf every
thing to the fanaticaL 5ggressiFe
spirit of the North?-GreeauEe S3y.

TIE Luz is -The following simple
experiment is said to be test of
the soundndssof the lungs:
Let the patient draw in a full
breath, and then begin to count as
far as he can, slowly and audibly,
without inaating the lungs. The
number Of seconds he can continue
is then to be carefully noted. In
confirmed consumption the time does
6texceed eight, and is often less
than six seconds. In pleurisy and
pneumonia, it ranges from nine to
four seconds. But when the lungs
are sound the time will range as high
as thirty seconds.

TltE DEMON BIRD-There is a-bird
in Ceylon, which the natives call Ill
anna, or the demon bird, which utters
the most loud and ear-piercing
screams, strongly resembling the
shrieks of a human being in severe
bodily agony. This birds cries they
say, invariably preclude misfortunes,
sickness or death, and are regarded
by them as certain token of evil.
The superstitious natives, believe.
that they can avert the evil Which
this bird predicts, by uttering certain.
words of defiance, to the effect that
neither they nor any one of their
household will heed the summons Of
the bird, or the demon who sent it,
Although the wailings Of the ulama
are frequently heard in the interior
the natives assert that it has never
been distinctly seen, OF c5ptpred;
they firmly believe it is one Of the
spirits which haunt their island-t
From the cry, we presume this bird
to bea spedies Of owl, as there are
many varieties of the tribe in .Cey-
lon Some Of these birds are ex-
oeedingly ID rye, and we heard from a
man of umloabted veracity, that he
had shot an owl in the interior, which

Galphinism and the Union.

The Union is giving itself vast deal Of
trouble in indictng long editorial upon the
subject of the Gal phin claim. We stated that
it was not our purpose to approve or disapproye
of the decision in that ease; bat if the decision
in regard to the interest was wrong, and the
money wrongfully paid, the Unions friends
were responsible for the defeat of resolution
authorizing judicial investigation of the mat
ter, and the refunding 'of the money in case it
should be decided that it was improperly paid.
The Union, not finding it convenient to meet
or refute this allegation, declares the defeat of
the resolution to be ''mere moonshine" With
due Difference we differ from this opinion. If
wrong had been done, it was but right that the
subject should undergo rigid scrutiny before
an impartial judicial tribunal; and it seems to
us that those who prevented this scrutiny from
taking place are estopped from discussing the
subject, or at least from assuming that there
was any thing wrong in the matter. II they
insist that there was, then their course is Who'll
ly indefensible.

DESTRUCTION OF BANK NoTEs AND PLArRs.-A
correspondent of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser, writing from Albany, on the Goth instant,
says:
"In March last the Legislature ordered the de-
structon of the plates and notes of certain broken
banks. The notes had been accommodating for
years. and were collected in packages at the Urea
sury Department. Tho plates had not been col
lected, however, but have been partly since, and
were of those Of the Watcrvlict, Bank of Buffalo,
Commercial Bank of Buffalo, Bank of the City of
New York, Bank Of Lyons, Clinton County Bank,
and Wayne ditto. Those of the Bank Of Lockport,
City Bank of Buffalo, and Lafa cite Bank of New
York have not yet been found. 1t was at fret de-
termined to destroy the notes by placing them in
large strongly heated stove but this found to be
very tedious operation; the notes closely
packed as to prevent the fire penetrating between
them. Next common straw cutter used
which did the business rapidly. The cuttings were
then burned; still, 1t was Glow work, and the dc
structon OF the notes occupied five days and half
1.-The destruction oftho plates still more diff
cult task, especially the steel Ones which could not
be broken into pieces with hammers. Neither could
files effcctuay erase the engravings, and the steel
plates were heated and hammered at blacksmith's
forge until destroyed. The copper were
melted and Sold Thirty. two plates were thus de-
stroyed, and 81 ,5S0,445 in broken bank notes,
$5OO,OO0 of which belonged to the Buffalo banks

IPaEsIpENT FnLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-THE Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
'present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his and the unanimous opinion Of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
"a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
'were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion they formed
"a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
stained from conflicting sectional interest and
'opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion so
FAR as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
'peace ofthe country requires this the security OF
the Constitution requiresthis; and every conside-
nation of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does not expect to stand at ALL %

Miss CATHERINE Enthusiastically has sent
VI copy OF the London Musical Word of the 7th
instant, and called our attention by mark to the
following notice of Miss Catherine Hayes the Irish
songstrcss, whom VIC are shortly to hear in this
country:
Catherine Hayes may be emphatically styled
the Queen OF the Concert room. The fair and ac-
complained artist must accept tho term, part in
compliment, part in rcproach, seeing that she has
not, since she achieved her triumphant success in
lrslaxR and Rome, given us an opportunity of de-
scanvlR & on her great and acknowledged talents
on the stage II is loss and that of the public
in general that Catherine Hayes has not lent her
powerful aid to one of the Italian Opera Houses.
hut we must be satisfied with what we get in the
concert-room, the moro especially as tho time is
fast approaching when the Irish Swan sails for
America, and will leave many behind her TO
greet her departure. That Catherine Hayes will
take Yankee. land by storm we have no doubt, and,
with fair play for the Irish priinn donna, prog
nosticate as resounding and legitimate success
for her as was ever earned by singer. Catherine
Hayes has claims to the favor and countenance of
the Americans, to which few others have any pre-
tensions. She is Irish. and that is enough to
make her obtain very cacd mile faltha of a
wcleomc. May her success be interminable,
and may bright star Of Erin shed light
great western continent Above all, may she not
be lost in the prarics, devoured in th0cfugence
Of one of Barnums comets, but return to us light
in heart, weighed down by dollars, with her voice
beautiful and ripencd by the Columbian gales.
Whoever heard Catharinc Hayes sing on Monday
evening would have set down the last wish as en-
trely useless, since her voice seemed to stand in
need of improvement. She sang admirably, nay,
magni6cently; and produced immense sensa-
ton. The 'Ah! mon fls' (given by particular de-
sire, in consequence of the impression created at
her own concert) was rendered with irresistible
effect, and set off the extensive OF her voice
and her dramatic energy to the greatest advan-
tagc. The clcarness and briiancy of the upper
notes contrasted strongly with the power and depth
bly, sings in tune. " how many singers this
be affirmed? Her second song was the famous 'Ah!
non gunge.' in which she essayed totally differ
cnt style of vocalization. Few essays in the bril-
liant school of singing could surpass this display.
The feats of f0rit,re were dazzling, and the long
shake towards the end, spun out to the finest vocal
thread, was quite magical Loud and general ap-
pause followed both of Catherine Hayes's efforts,
and she was recalled with enthusiasm after each"
