From the Knoxville Wing of the 8th.


AT joint meeting of the members of the three
Councils in Knoxville, held in Temperance Hall,
Sept /, 1855, Samn X. Rogers, Esq, was called TO
the chair, aud A. r. Piper acted as Secretary.
Gov. Campbell, the President Of the State Coun-
Gil, COL John Williams, and W. @. Brownlow, ad-
dressed the meeting.
The very finest spirit prevailed the meeting. It
was conducted in harmony, and closed with its
members all made stronger in the American faith
The following preamble and resolutions were uad,l-
iDlotsly adopted, and ordered to be published in
the Wig and Register Of this city.
Whilst the anti,American party ia this State arc
growing very loudly over the result in Tennessee,
we can find no cause for their gratulatons in the
result. The American party has existed az an
organization, only brief year In Tennessee. and
in iercey contested battle has elected six out OF
the ten members 10 Congress, a majority of the
members of the General Assembly, and came within
1000 votes Of eIecting their candidate for Cover
nor, with many of the leading and influential mem
bers OF the two old parties opposing. And could
the election have been postponed one month longer,
allowing time more fully 10 discuss the issues, and
70 present our principles 70 the honest and reflect

The Wife's Influence.

woman, in many instances, has her husbands
fortune in her power, because she may or she may
not conform TO his circumstances. This is her first
duty, and it ought to be her PRIDE No passion for
luxury or display ought to tempt her for moment
to deviate in the least degree from this line of
duct. She will find her responsibility in it. ANY
other course is Indebtedness ITSELF and inevitably
leads to ruin.
Nothing can be more miserable than TO struggle
to keep up appearances If it could succeed, it
would cost more than it is worth it never can,
its failure involves the deepest modification. Some
of the sublmest exhibitions of human virtue have
been made by women, who have precipitated sud-
denly from wealth and splendor to absolute want.
Then a mans fortunes are in manner in the
hands of his wife, inasmuch as his own power OF
exerton depends on her. His moral strength is
nconceivably increased by her sympathy, her coun-
sci, her aid. She can aid him immensely by reliev
ing him of every which she is capable of taking
upon herself. His own empoyments are such as
to require his whole time and his whole mind.
A good wife will never suffer her husbands at
tenton to be distracted by details to which her
time and talents are adequate. If she be prompted
by true affection and good sense, she will perceive
when his spirit are borne down and overwhelmed;
she, of all human beings, can best minister to his
needs. For the sick soul her nursing is as sover-
eign as it is for corporal ills.
If it be weary, in her assduity it finds repose
and refreshment. If it be harFassed and worn to a
morbid irrability her gentle tones steal overit with
a soothing more potent than the most exquisite mu
sic. If every enterprise be dead, her patience and
fortitude have the power to reekindle them in the
heart and he again goes forth to renew the ercoun~
ter with the tolls and troubles of life.

One Of the Rescusrs Of jerry nominated by the New
York Softs

On the list of October, 1851, fugitive slave
named Jerry, was forcibly rescued from the
custody of the United States Marshal at SYRIA
cuse, New York, by mob. One of the instl-
gators of the;riot was Patrick H. Agan, one OF
the editors of the Syracuse Standard, Free
soil Democratic paper. Another editor of this
paper, Moses Summers, was actually engaged
in the riot, as ring-leader, and was indicted
for the crime by the United States Grand Jury
at Buffalo. To show their sympathy for the
rescuers of Jerry, and to secure their votes,
the Administration, or Soft Shell Convention
of New York, have nominated the aforesaid
Patrick II. .Agan for the Office of State Prison
Inspector -
Pat is an Irishnan, as his name indicates,
and wields an influence not only with the Abo-
litionists, but also with his own countrymen,

over, is warm friend of Gov. Marcy, and If
elected to the Office of State Prison Inspector,

sentfally. For these inspectors are the travel

Legislative Preeocitx.

In the early history of the State of Indiana, Sui.
Ivan county, portion of the State famed for its
inhexible adherence to Democracy, once elected
Sol. Turman, of Turman's Greek, to represent it in
the Assembly 1t twas his first experience in legis-
ative life and the mantle of its dignity at first sat
uneasily upon bis broad shoulders. He got along
pretty well, however, by saying nothing and always
voting as Mr.. Allison did, whose name was called
first, aud who was bright and shining light among
the faithful, until one day he ''took down the
House" as follows:
lie happened to come into the House in the midst
of some business which rendered it necessary to
know the population OF the several counties, and
the Speaker, not having the documents at hand,
was asking the members for information As soon
as he saw Mr.. thurman, he addressed him:
"Ah, Mr.. Truman, what's the population of your
eountyY"
Mr. thurman, taken entirely BY surprise, replied:
''Sir, we have scarcely any poplar in the county;
the timber is all oak, hieory, birch and maple with
a very small chance of poplar in the bottom"
The Speaker said:
"You misunderstood me- What Is the ce,,sns of
your county,"
Mr. Truman, very badly scared, replied:
'0h, they have no senses; they are id ig-
norant set, assure you" ...,..
It was no relation of Mr. thurman, although a
man bearing the Same name, who, making his
maiden speech while canyassing the county for
election to the Legislature affirmed to his constit-
ueuts that, If elected, be would "subserva their
interests to the best Of his skill and inability

PRosoRIPTIoN. "A correspondent of the
GAINESVILLE Chronicle gives an account of the
latest case of prescription by anti-Americans
in this region-a case that should immortalize
its authors Rev. J. M. P. HIcKERsoN, an able
minister of the NJ. E. Church South, and a
member of the Tennessee Conference, has been
'cut short of the small pittance of quarterage
allowed him by discipline" because, during
the year, he has, as usual, preached against
the rottenness of Popery. This is done by the
anti-American party, and is another specimen OF
the vindictiVeness of that party. The Cbrop-
icte mentions the case of a man dying in that
county, "and directing in his will, that no
Know Nothing should touch his body, or at
tend his funeral; and that if there were not
Sag NIGHTS enough to perform the burial rites,
his negroes should officiate." Opposition to
Americauism is thus becoming disease with
these fanatics, and promises to carry them of
speedily. The Chronicle remarks, very truly,
that when people become such arrant fools as
to suffer themselves to be thus embittered
against party that proposes and advocates
nothing but the peoples good, we need not be
surprised at any folly they may commit. The
poor fools had better cross the Atlantic and
settle where there are none but the dear for.
eigners whom they so fondly love. If they
settle in Italy, they will hear no more Metho-
dists preaching the Protestant faith, or the
true American doctrine, and short residence
in any part of Europe win teach them the
invaluable truth, that Americans can not too
vigilantly keep guard over their liberties, or
be too determined in their purpose to govern
their own native land, without the aid of for
eigIers.

subjects of public interest should ever degen-
crate into personal recriminations, but there
is point beyond which forbearance is neither
commendable nor polite. The American party
has been subjected to the vilest abuse at the
hands of the editors and orators of the So
called Democratic party from its incipiency
From infammatory appeals and attempts to
mislead the people by hob-goblin harangnes
about oaths and rituals, midnight meetings
and dark-lanterns, they have turned TO every
species of unfairness and trickery to distort
the doctrines of our platform, and to fasten
upon us opinions and purposes which were
reasonable, and which they well knew no
respectable body of American citizens would
for moment entertain. Their Governor elect
and his prime fugleman and right supporter,
A. v. Brown, have taken the lead in this
They have distinguished themselves above all
Others, by the intensity of their vituperation,
by the fagrancy of their attacks, and the I'M
paralleled and disgracefnl character of their
charges. These facts are matters of record.

dignifed rebuke administered by Mr.. McEwen

IRENE simplicity of his heart, actGt could haze

Unfortunately for the country in the last
canvass, INSCRIPTIONS abuse and vindictiye
intolerance partially succeeded. The party
which is seeking to restore the government TO
its original purity, to re-inangurste the princi-
pies of Washington, and dethrone the political
heresies that are now preying upon the vitals
of the country, has been nominally defeated.
But they are not dispirited or discouraged
They See in the future a brighter day, when
they shall roll back the tide of foreign inhu-
ence and anti-Americanism, which now threat
ems the liberties of the Republis. In the mean
time we can say to our opponents the character
of the contest is with them. If they fiatter
themselves that they shall be able to continue
to heap opprobious epithets and charges of
treason and persecution upon the American
party with impunity, they will speedily find
their mistake.
