DEMOCRATS REWAREi

We caution our democratic- friends to beware of
a know nothing trick which we know has been
attempted, and which may prove successful, unless
il is exposed, and closely watched. 1t is to elect
know-nothings to the Legislature 10 democratic
counties in this way: When there is probability
that democrat viii be elected to the Senate or
House. over an avowed know nothing, some Fecre-
ant democrat, who is in the "order, but whose
eonnexion with 1t is not known is brought out to
divide the democratic vote, and ensure the success
Of the know nothing candidate. We know of two
attempts to play off this trick in this State. And
now we caution our democratic friends to be on
the look out. Whenever protested democrat per-
sists in being candidate, against the wish of the
party, and to the prejudice Of the recognized can
didate it will pretty certainly be eventually ascer-
tanned that he is know-nothing, who is candi-
date only to help the real know nothing candidate.

Aessrs Editors, If the Temperance Refor1a Is
to be discussed and the propriety ola Prohibisory
Law on that subject advocated before the people of
Tennessee during the present canvass for Cover
nor it is bat just that the position both the can
ddates for that Office should DO fully presentedto
and understood by the people of the State. 1t is
with this view ihst i would call your attention
to the fact that Philip s. White, the distinguished
Temperance Lecturer, is now canvassing the State
Of Tennessee and urging the peopleto rally to the
support Of such men for the Legislature will ad
vocate the passage Of Prohibitory Law in respect
to the traffic in ardent sprits and togve their sup
port to that candidate for Governor who will
promise to recommend some such law to the next
Legislature. And in Lecture, recently delivered
si Trenton, Mr. White protested his willingness to
accept for the present. the district system of Pro-
hibition as now in force in the State of Mssssip.
pl as q plan upon which the Temperance men
shonld unite and rally their support Now, as the
position of Mr.. Gentry, one of the candidates for
Governor is understood by the country as favoring
this system, and as the efforts of Mr.. White, as
clearly demonstrated by his lecture at this place,
will be to unite the Temperance men upon Cen
try as their candidate and make this question q
prominent element in the present canvass, and in
the strife of political controversy it is right that
the people of the State should be informed that the
efforts of this distinguished Lecturer will be thus
brought to bear in this political contest, that they
be advised of its tendency and effect, and that if
there is to be canvass on this subject the battle
should not be fought altogether upon the position
of one of the candidates but that they both should
be heard and their respective positions understood
and canvassed before the people; and if the candi-
dates themselves waive discussion of this subject
before the people, no doubt, for reasons good and
sufficient it would seem unfair that influences of q
one sided character should be brought to bear and
weighed in the balance in the absence ola full IN.
Outstanding of the position of both parties upon
this subject. The candidates, themselves should
surely be the best opponents of their respective
views if this matter is to be csnvassed at all in be-
half of the one or the other. Respectfully

1t will be thus seen that the Court is TO
perform the work now laboriouslv bu, i'm.
perfectly done by committees, and Con
gress is to revise the whole and act upon
the subjects presented, as at present. On
many subjects all opinion well matured
by the Court will serve as the basis for ac-
ton on all similar cases; and there will
not perhaps be so many inconsistencies in
legislation as at present, when the success
or failure Of p measure depends in great
degree upon the mood in which one House
or the other may happen to he found when
the vote is taken. At all events there is
the probability of more mature inves,i
CATION than by the present mode, and it
is to be hoped we shall hear but little more
of what is deemed worse than the ".law's

The Court of Claims.

One of the most important bills which
has passed Congress within our remem-
brace received the final sanction of the
leg slative branch yesterday. We refer to
the bill to establish Court of Claims to
which we ventured not long since to invoke
the favor Of the House Of Representatives,
with which it then rested. This bill WAS
called up yesterday at favorable moment
and the friends Of itwi'ely abstaining from
debate, it was forthwith passed by large
majority. We should not be surprised il
ii saves one fourth part Of the session Of
Congress now spent in the examination
and discussion Of claims. It will however
operate bcnefcently in variety Of ways.
It will not only secure to just claims an
early hearing and prompt settlement, but
il will get rid Of the interminable renewal
of unfounded ones, and thus save the time
Of Congress from being wasted year af.
ter year in the re-examination Of rejected
claims.
The bill gives jurisdiction to the Court
to hear and determine all claims founded
upon any law Of COngrss, or upon any
regulation Of Executive Department, or
upon any contract. express or implied,
with the Government Of the United States
and all claims referred by either House Of
Congress. Tie testimony in all cases is
to be reported to Congress. md all upon
which favorable decisions are given are
% be accompanied with a.billor bills tc
carry them into saeet and with brisf
