A NOTABLE COINCIDENCE. 1t is queer t.
see how tremendously the imm cuate q, I'M
pions of Southern Rights, and the friends %

that the National Democracy will refuse any
endorsement of the Compromise, and The

If it midlv trusts to such Il coalition as is
above Indicated it will fall like Lucicr To

What objection, my we not ask, can any
man, not des;rons Of rcagit rting the slavery
question, have to an explicit recognition OF
the nality of the late adjustment!
Is it prudent again to renew sectional
controversy, which i. required so nu III p&-
triotism to alIay. Why not then the Demo-
mocritic party, and the Wing party too, say
that they will not tauntenancc renewal of
the agitation. If both parties would assume
this lofty position, such political quacks and
mischief makers rs Rantou and Rhrtt and
Seward would skulk to their "nativc sty.'
lis not to be endured that the quiet and
safety of the country should any longer be
jeoparded BY the m.cIln tion Of this hire!ing
crew. Too long already have they been tot
Grated. They may talk long and loud Of
their unwavering fidelity to Whiggcry OF
Democracy, but not until they heartily H.
jure their hcrcsies and bring forth r.its NEE;

We call then upon the Wing and Demc-
cratic parties to take that position. They
owe it to themselves and to the country, to
rebukc the spirit Of Fsnaticism that pcrvadcs
their ranks; else that spirit will increase unit
it defies ali restraint, except its own will.
II would be idle to weary our readers with

adduced in favor of this policy. The argu-

SENATOR JONES.

The st. Louis Republican has the follow
ing highly creditablc notice of our d:stin-
guishcd Senator
Gov. Jones is remarkable man. Some
years ago he appeared before the people of
Tennessee as politician as Il member of Il
whig convention, in which it was difficult to
find Il man who would stand to run for Gov
ernor. The over cautious were chary about
running; because of the apprehension of be-
ing beaten. Jones was for Il nomination any
how, and finally when it was proposed that
he should run, and he was nominated, he took
off his coat went ut it and was triumphantly
elected.
He was popular Governor. lie became
kn,wn all over the Union; and of late years
he has been frequently named rs the whiy
candidate for the vice presidency. But Gov.
Jones has shown, in the last five years, that
he has other metal in him than that Of il mere
politician He has looked to the interest of
the State and of the country, and has been
conspicuous rs the advocate of n system OF
railroads, which is to make Il complete net
work of Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolnas
and Virginia. lIctravclcd the State, making
speeches and impressing upon the people the
necessity of this system of intcrcOmmunica-
ton. Passing from his own State, he went
to Mississippi and New Orleans, and there
produced such feeling as had before been
unknown on this subject. This was particu-
larv the ease in New Orleans, where, Il friend
informs us, he amused the people by his cx-
position of the dangers which mcnaccd them,
in the transfer of II trade which they suppos-
ed lcgitimatcly their own, to other quarters.
| His presence there is believed to have AVA
kened them to perception ofthe commercial
ruin impending over them, and to the strug-
glcs which they are now making to save them
selves. That Memphis and the principal eli
ties of his own State will soon be in connec-
ton with Georgia and the Carolinas and Vir-
ginia, is now reduced to II certainty; and much
of this change of trade and intercourse will
be owing to the enlightened policy Of Gov.
Jones.
Such n man is worth his weight in gold to
any State that can claim him rs her own.-
We are only sorry that they are not to be
met with every day, and everywhere, and cs-
peciaIIy in Missouri.
We Want One such mnn-onc who will de-
vote his whole soul to the task of cnlightcn-
ing our own people upon the advantages OF
our position the wealth abounding within
our borders and the necessity Of railroads
through, and into the State, in order fully to
drynlOnr orr resources,

Throughout his long and iIlustrious career
he has been the advocate and champion OF
freedom, and of those great principles of law
and order, without which liberty has no sta
bility and no guarantees for the repose Of So
ciety.
The opposition to Mr.. Clay, so long and so
steadily made BY the Democratic party, must
not be mistaken for distrust of his patriot
ism or a want of admiration for his great and
generous qualities. 1t was exclusively po-
iiical, growing out of difference of opin-
ion on matters concerning the administration
of our government our home policy.
His reputation and his fame are as much
cherished by one party as the other. And
no American politician could now make an
attack on him without being condemned by
the general voice of the country"

A MELANCHOLY FATE.-A pathetic ballad
describes the sad fate of two lovers, Reuben
Wright and Phoebe Brown, whose mutual
affection was not approved by the parents of
the young lady. The lovers determined to
elope. The old gentleman seized his gun
and attempted to shoot the young man, but
the charge took effect on his daughter. The
catastrophe is thus pathetically described:
aThen anguish filled young Reuben's heart,
And vengeance crazed his brain;
He drew an awful jack-knife out,
And plunged it into old Brown about fifty
or sixty times, so it is very doubtful about his
ever coming too again"

Gry. BUTLER.-This gentleman, who, the
Democratic Review says, SIS without known
or fixed political priaciplcs,' and who sis
made up Of feeble negatives" has written q
letter to Mr.. F. z. Blair, in which lie declares
his political views. Hc frankly and unre-
servcdly declares himself in favor Of the
Compromise measures, and particularly of the
Fugitive Slave Law-"upon the faithful exc.
cution of which, the peace, the prosperity and
integrity of the Union arc all stakcd." He
says that if he had not been nominated by the
Democrats of Kentucky, his name would not
with his consent, have been presented to the
National Convention. That he will have no
agency in the preliminary intrigucs and that
the design imputed to him of courting the
Frccsoiers, is false.
The letter is very respectable production;
but we take it, that it seals its authors
political aspirations. His main stay was
upon Van Buren, and Co.; but with the avow-
al of the sentiments contained in this letter,
he cannot look to that quarter any longer.
In what direction and to what standard Mr..
Van Buren, will transfer his fatal aid, we
cannot conjecture. Cass, Buchanan, and
Douglass, are all odious to hm-as being
implicated in the intrigues of '44-by which
he was superseded in the Baltimore Convcn-
ton. Douglass, as being less Conspicuous
in that trcachcry, might stand Il better chance
than either of the other two, to win the dead
" embrace. Richmond Wing.
