NEW YORK AND THE SOUTH.

The Mobile Register says: the National Lnte4'-
gencer is very solemn and lugubrous in its remarks
on the effect of late political events in New York
on the Democracy of the South. Its hopes and
fears are groundless and its sympathy entirely
wasted. The Charleston Mercury states what is q
simple truth, that "he South 1cas nerer more
united in the support Of any administration" And
the New York split so far from being injurious in
its consequences is precisely of those sort Of
warnings which the Democratic party required to
keep it from falling pieces by its own overgrown
weight and proportions. The kernel of the COM
plant Of the Bronson" party against the Admin
istraton, is that it would not prescribe permit
Mr.. BRoNsoS to prescribe, account ofpast trans
gressions, . section of the party which equally
with the friends Of Bronson, stood upon the Balti-
more platform. This is the whole sum of Admin
istration offending. The President was pledged
not to go behind the record of the Baltimore re-
concilation. The Hards' essayed to force him to
violate that pledge and thus reopen the slavery
agitation, which it the leading object at Balti-
more to compose, now and forever, so far as tie
Democratic party vas concerned. We care not
what may be the sntecedents of public men, they
are no true friends to the Government, or to the
South who would disturb a settlement and re-ani-
mate controversy involving interests and dangers
so vast and momentous.

THE ANNALS OF TENNESSEE.

The Westminster Revie,O, one of the ablest Of
the British quarteres, takes the following notice
in the October issue, of the Annals of Tennessee.
DR.. ]. G. NJ RAMSEY
While the Americans are, as a body, diligently
making public all the details that throw light upon
the first grand event in national history destined
to become in due time perhaps the most important
in the world, there are, happily, not few ablemen,
who IN each several state, are engaged upon the
examination and collection of its records So near
to our own time was the occurrence OF the events
from which the Americans will date the outset of
their history, that it is still possible to collect not
only written records, but much oral testimony,
bearing in a very interesting way upon it. The
first pioneers Of the west are not all dead the very
first log cabins that were built among tie Indians,
where there are now thriving towns of white men,
are not yet all broken to pieces. The written re-
cords left by the first settlers in various parts of the
union-letters, journals, and county records-are
still to be found in great numbers by the antqusry,
if he may be called anGiquary who dives into
the beginnings of history that was all future
hundred years ago To men like Dr. Ramsey,
who, after long antiquarian study of this kind has
collected and just published at Charleston, the ''An-
mails Of Tennessee" unstinted applause is due.
Without good local histories general history can
be only vague and shadowy. DIR. Ramsey as he
tells us and as the fullness and minuteness of his
narrative attest has procured verbal narratives from
the old settlers who survive, has examined papers
left by others who dead, and has endeavored to
recover every memorandum, bearing on the history
of Tennessee, that it was possible to drag out Of
obscurity. In the loft Of an out-of-the-way cabin
he discovered many of the official papers of the
State of Franklin in another he found the lost
constitution of the proposed State Of Franklin In
the garnet of an empty house at Knoxville he
found an old trunk which contained an important
prize-the papers of Gov. Sewer. How much the
prompt diligence Of patriotic anGquaries is required
may be gathered from one Illustrative feet that we
cite, as one among thousand Less than seventy
years ago, the proceedings of the State of Franklin
never were printed because there was no printing
press nearer than Richmond or Charleston, and it
was customary to appoint some person who read
aloud all recent enactments in the hearing of the
people, at the first militia training that took place.
and after the rise of the General Assembly. DIR.
Ramseys ANNALS Of Tennessee" begin with pure
ly Indian times, and relate the history of the soil
new named Tennessee through all social and politi-
cal changes down to the end of the last century.

Mr. LAND introduced on the 18th inst, in the
House of Representatives, IA bill to amend the
revenue laws" This bill proposes TO reduce the tax
on merchants to forty cents on the hundred four
dollars the Thousand dollars worth of merchan-
disc; and further, to reduce the tax on merchants,
who buy their goods in this State to twenty cents
on the hundred, or two dollars on the thousand
dollars worth of merchandise by them so bought of
resident merchants
This, in our opinion, is an excellent provision,
and should receive the support and sanction Of the
whole General Assembly. As the law now stands,
the wholesale merchant of our own State when he
imports his merchandise into the State and offers it
Tor SALE Is required to pay tax Of fifty cents upon
the hundred or FIVE dollars on the thousand dollars
worth OF the same. Then the retail merchants,
VINO see proper to patronize own wholesale
dealers, are required, upon opening the goods
at their respective stands, TO pay an additional
five dollars on the thousand for the same goods
1t is, therefore, clear that the law, as it now
stands, always has operated and does now
operate as discrimination against oar oaor
citizens, who engaged in the wholesale bust
ness This is all wrong as we believe 1t has beer
the policy Of other States to discriminate in favor
as far as they in justice could of their resident
wholesale dealers; and very properly, for they moi
only contribute 10 the building up of their owl
towns and cities, but ultimately increase the revi
nue. of the State. For while our retail merchant
are under the necessity of going beyond the limit
of the State to purchase their goods the State vii
not be able to collect any thing more than the fy'
dollars on the thousand; the goods being consumed
as they pass from the hands Of the retailer But OF
the other hand, suppose that the bill under consid
GRAFTON be passed and retail dealers find it then
interest to make their purchases from our residen
wholesale merchants, then the wholesale merchan
pays four dollars on the thousand dollars worth o
merchandise and the retail merchant pays on tn,
same goods two dollars: giving to the State reve
nue. of six dollars on the thousand dollars worth o
merchandise thus bought sold, and consumed
We trust, then, that the proposition of Mr.. LAM
viii receive the favorable consideration Of the Leg
isature. If the State can relieve the wholesale mer
chants of the heavy and III just discrimination
against them which have heretofore been imposed
and make money by being just we should suppos
that there could be no hesitation about the matter

The news Of the decline in the hog market has
fallen like thunderbolt upon the SPECTATORS in
this region. A large number of hogs have been
bought at high rates by citizens of this county,
who represent themselves to have been acting as
agents for the Louisville firm.
.f.* We understand that the
latter now refuse to furnish the money to pay for
the hogs at the rates agreed upon and their agents
here are consequently involved in some trouble
Meanwhile various idle rumors are afloat as to the
extent of the decline.
Many believe that hogs will not bring more than
81 % gross, and the panic is becoming general

imposed upon by these exaggerated reports The

the unreasonable weather and the extreme pres

weather becomes favorable for packing, the prices
will no doubt be established; and aIthough they may
not range as high as at first anticipated, yet it
is very certain that they cannot be low enough to

The;'vashinyton Uaioa publishes an opin:on Of
Attorney General Gushing, addressed to the Presi-
dent in regard 10 the execution of the fugtive slave
law, which it says illustrates fully the settled policy
of the administration as well as its determination
to see the laws faithfully executed. A negro was
arrested at Indianapolis afugtve, at the instance
of one ELLINGTON, Of Missouri, who claimed to be
his owner. Upon the trial. the negro proved salts
factorly that he was not bound to labor service
for ELLINGTON, whereupon he was discharged. He
then brought suit against the Marshal of the district
for false arrest and imprisonment The main point
submitted to the Attorney General was, whether
| the Government was authorized to employ counsel
for the Marshal at the expense Of the United States
and to this he replies in the Affirmative He says:
It is the Constitutional duty of the President ''to
take care that the laws be faithfully executed =
This bv no means implies that he shall interpose in
1 a matter of mere individual and private litigation
! But cases do sometimes occur between private IN
diyiduals or more frequently where public officer
is party, in which public interest is incidentally
involved, rendering it lawful and advisable that
the counsel be employed by the United Ststes-
| And il NAV be case of public concernment, though
no property of the United States is at stake for the
integrity Of the Constitution and conservation Of
the laws are matter Of much greater importance
to the Government than the defence of parcel oil
the national domain, or the collection OF duties on
a cargo of imported merchandise. In any case 1T IS
question of discretion on the part OF the Presi-
dent or head of department to employ counsel ioi
the United States not, according to his Jndg-
ment of the particular circumstances, without Its
being possible to lay down any more specific genera
rule on the subject have no doubt of the powel
of the President in such emergencies it is OF tamil

something Of that party in Ohio, in other days,
when it inscribed upon its banner its triumphs by
maorities that astonshed the world, and seemed to
bid defiance to all attempts to overthrow it A few

without any apparent recuperative energies The
