~ We feel SO much solcitude for the
success of the incoming administration, that
we regret to see war already springing up
between the Barnburner and Old Hunker
factions in New York, as to which shall be
represented in Mr.. Pierce's Cabinet. The
Evening Post, which represents the anti-sla-
very wing, complains very bitterly of the
other branch of the party, and asserts that
all sorts of expedients are being resorted to
to impose upon and miscad the President
elect. If.he is the man his friends and adj
mirers represent him to be, he will probably
get over the difficulty by paying no attention
whatever to the suggestions Of these jealous
and warning factions, which united during
the canvass upon the spoils' principle alone,
and are now whettng their beaks and pre-
pairing to rend each other in the scramble for
the division. Jno. A. Dix and ID. S. Dickin-
son are the rival asprants of the two factions
for place in the Cabinet.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT. The National Intell-
gencer closes well-wrtten article upon the
result of the late Presidential election, with
the following paragraph:
"As for the wings laying down their arms
and abandoning an honorable cause because
of its having met with casual check, as
some have proposed, it is not for moment
to be thought of. They have lost an cleo
ton, it is true, which they ought to have
gained But they have a country left for
them to serve, and to save from the evils of
foreign influence, already employed in cor
roding the cement which holds this govern
ment together. They still are bound by eve
ry consideration of duty to themselves, to
their families, to their country and its insti-
tutions, from which the defeat in an election
can not discharge them, to stand by their
principles, bctide what may. This is moral
as we'll as political duty, which no good citi-
zen can cast off at pleasure, and least Of all
can any real wing.
Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again,
For Gods eternal years are hers;
While Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshippers"

No REST FOR THE WICKED.-The Knox
Vile Plebeian, which has been slumbering
very quietly for the last two or three weeks,
is out in a spirited leader, calling upon the
democracy to make ready, and prepare for
the great battle to be fought next summer
The editor has donned his armor, which was
considerably bruised and battered in the late
conflict, and seems very eager for the fray
He says if the democrats will only do their
duty, they can carry the State next August
by five thousand majority. We admire the
gentleman's spunk, but think he is mistaken
in his calculation If the democracy could
not carry Tennessee with all the advantages
they had in the election just passed, they will
hardly be able to come it next time.

THE Crescent CITY.-An important ques-
ton now is whether the Crescent City will
return to Havana with Purser Smith on board.
A New York letter writer says
"George Law, the principal owner Of the
steamer, says she will 60 back, in spite of the
inhibition, and if the U. S. Government don't
protect her, she must take means to protect
herself A meeting of merchants of that city
largely Interested in that trade, is talked of,
to see if they cannot persuade Mr. Law to
displace the obnoxious Purser. On the other
hand the friends of Cuba are talking about
getting up complimentary dinner, not only
to Purser Smith, but to Lieutenant Daven-
port"
The Washington Republic remarks as fol-
lows on the conduct of Capt. Davenport at
his last visit to Havana:
"Passed Midshipman Davenport has
strangely Inexperienced the duties and
privileges of his new position. We cannot
conceive Of any thing more unbecoming than
the dictatorial tone which he appears to have
assumed; or any thing less likely to produce
an amicable settlement of the pending diff
cuties."

cannot be surpassed at any establishment IN
the whole country. Their cooking stoves
are bette, adapted for convenience and use,

any we have ever seen much superior ar
tice to the stoves brought to this country
from the North. This, too, is an article that
every family, rich or poor, should have the
price is low, and the saving in fuel, labor, &c,
to say nothing of the comfort and conve-
nience of the thing, will pay for the stove
in one year, and one of Zimmerman g. Tho
mas manufacture will last a lifetime. Wood
is getting to be pretty considerable item IN
the yearly account Of expenses in this Sec
ton, and as n matter of economy in regard to
fuel alone, no family should be without one
of these stoves.
We also noticed, the last time we were at
the Foundry, n number of neat and beautl-
full parlor,and others than cooking stoves II Is
not necessary however TO enumerate the dliier
ent patterns-the works are constantly in full
blast, and any article in that line can be pro-
cured ut once-Castings and Machinery for

The proprietors are enterprising, INDUSTRIOUS
,corking men, manufacture none but the best
articles, and deserve the most abundant
success in their business.
The Foundry is situated Immediately on
the line of the East Tennessee and Georgia
Railroad, and the manufactured articles can
be sent to any point without the least delay.
One word more on the subject. We have
told our readers that there is Foundry at
Athens in successful operation, that the pro-
prietors are enterprising, industrious men,
and that their work is of very superior quail
", every word of which is true, Qor we
never lie except during election tlmes,) ana
what we now want to say is, that if any OF
our friends in this county, Bradley, Polk
Monroe, Rhea, Meigs, or Roane, want cook
ing, or other stoves, Mill Castings, ETC., il
they will send their orders to Messrs. Zim-
norman & Thomas, at Athens, we will guar
antee their being faithfully, promptly, and
satisfactorily filled. There is now no neces-
sity of sending abroad for any thing of the
kinda better and superior article is manu-
featured in our neighborhood, and it is our
interest to purchase from the home manufac-
turer.
We have been thus particular in referring
to the Foundry at Athens, because it is the
first enterprise of the kind ever attempted
here, and we feel deep interest in its sue
cpcs

PRoTECrIoN OF SLAVE PROPERTY The
Maysville Eagle contains the proceedings of
a meeting held in that county on the 10th
inst, for the purpose Of devising means to
better secure the slave property of Kentucky.
They urge the formation of slave protection
societies in each county Of the State, especial
Iy in those bordering on the Ohio; to have a
pursuing committee, to act on the instruction
of the President; to have a census of all the
slaves owned by the members; to have per-
manent fund, to pay expenses of pursuit; to
pay stipulated reward to those who capture;
to allow pursuit of no slave by their COM
mittee, not owned by "a member; to pay 5000
to citizen of any free State who captures
fugitive, if over IS years of age; if under,
800; or for information productive of a cap
ture, $50. These, with the recommendation
of the adoption of the special patrol law, on
the border counties, constitute their plan OF
action.

will excuse us for suggesting to them not to
get alarmed at the improved appearance of
the fence round the Courthouse yard, and
things generally about our Temple of JUS

SENTMENT.--The Alabama Enterprise,
speaking of company singers recently per-

"The idea of three stout men and one
small woman singing a sentimental song is
too opposite to the practical tendencies of
our people. We have sentiment from our
pretty little school girls appropriately, and it
is we'll known fact that they live on il as
the rose does on the sunshine and the dew,
