The state of Franklin.

Before tho establishment of this Government,
says the Florida Sentinel, and before or about
The time that the territory which now const.
tutes the State Of Tennessee was ceded to Con-
gress, the inhabitants of the eastern part ofthat
territory established government for them
selves. and called it the State of Franklin
They adopted very good Constitution, divi-
ded into tho usual branches of legislative. exc
cutlve and judicial power. They laid and coll
lected taxes. and performed other usual acts Of
legislation They had. for the present, it is
true. no maratime possessions, yet they follow
ed the Common forms in constituting high of
hcers; and their Governor was not only cap.
tain general and commander-in chief but ad
miral also-so that the navy might have COM
mander when there should be navy.
The currency in this State of Franklin be-
came very much deranged. Specie was
scarce, and equally scarce were the notes Of
specie-paying banks But the legislature did
not propose any divorce of government and
people--they did not seek to establish two cur
rencies--one for men in Office and one for tho
rest OF the community. They were content
with neighbours fare. II became necessary
to pass what we would call the civil list ap-
preparation bill.
The preamble Of that law begins by recting
come very oppressive to the good people Of the
commonwealth. for the want of n circulating
medium. IL rectes further that it is the duty
of the Legislature TO hear, at all times tho
prayer of their constituents. and apply as spec
dy remedy lies in their power.
Acting under the influence of these sound
opinions, the legislature Of Franklin passed
law for the support Of the civil list, which, as

A Gentle Hint.

The Augusta ConS,Rutionalist, one Of the
chief organs Of the Southern Rights Democrats
in Georgia, thus refers to prominent ex-editor
and ex.candidate Of the national Democracy:
"TRBUTE TO HARMoNy.-It will be perceived
among the telegraphic items, that Mr. Donelson
has sold out his interest in the Union newspaper
10 his partner, Mr. Armstrong. The reason as
signed is, that IL was necessary for the harmony
Of the Democrrtic party. So far, so good. Ifa
certain Democratic aspirant, quite prominent for
the nomination for President, would pay a like
tribute TO harmony and decline the candidacy,
the work OF harmonizing the Democracy would
go bravely on. He has a good prospect Of q
bare majority 10 the conventions very slim
prospect for two-thirds nominstion--and no
prospect at all, a. we conceive, for an election
Can he not be induced 10 stand up 10 his pledge
in his letter Of acceptance in IS4s, that nothing
could induce him 10 be second time candidafs

pledge in despite Of the wishes Of many Of his
warm friends and admirers, who would gladly
have supported him for re election II IL pre-.
