One False Move, Certain.

The American papers in Tennessee-ou among
the rest-made one false issue nj least in the late
contest for governor. Rat her, we should say, We
made one impoiitic issue, by which we lost votes.
We arc now satisfied Of the fact, and suspected il
at the time. We published TO the world list
Of .forty-sir criminals, from the record, who had
been pardoned out Of the Penitentiary by Gov.
johnson, for stealing counterfiting, house-break.
ing and selling liquor TO slaves for stolen proper.
ty. That there were thousands Of intelligent
honest, and high.minded men who voted for John
son, no sane man viii deny but when the Ameri.
can party assailed him for his partialities for
thieves, Ii at once drove into his support all that
class Of voters, who had been, as a matter of
course, divided in their preferences. There are,
We doubt not, ten thousand voters in Tennessee
who either hare been stealing, at different times
or who are intending 10 steal, and TO deal with
negroes in violation Of law. These at least specu-
late upon the chances of breaking into the Peni.
Tertiary, and hence they look TO the source
whence " aid and comfort " must come, and vote
accordingly. IL is fair to presume that tro thou
sand of these would have voted with the American
party, had they not been driven out Of our ranks
very large majority Of them, by birth, educa-
ton, instinct, and association, would naturally
enough act with this Foreign Johnsonian party,
and in opposition 10 Gentry, a man whose very
looks to say nothing Of his principles and a.socid-
tions, would lead him 70 show no quarters 10 this
class Of men.--KnorpiRe Wig

INTERESTING TO AsTRoSoNKRs.-We announced,
day before yesterday, Mrs Dudley's generous gin
Of 5000 for the purchase Of heliometer for the
Observatory. Professors Bache and PIERCE, dstin-
guished astronomers, justly regard il an impor.
tant step in the advancement OF American science.
Kongsberg, Germany Oxford, England and
Albany win enjoy the distinction Of being the only
places in the world where the erection Of this val
liable and delicate instrument has been attempted.
And il is believed that the possession Of so rare
instrument will prove Of more importance than
the possession Of large equatorial for ordinary OBJ
servatons BY its use the precise longitude Of
places In America will be for the first time de6ni-
lively settled and the absolute distance Of the fixed
stars can be more nearly ascertained than has YET
been accomplished Another distinguished astron.

FUsIoS.-The New York Evening Mirror says
The Albany Argus appeals to the small remnant
OF Wings who have neither gone over to the
"Know-Nothings," on the one hand, nor TO the
Republicans" on the other, to throw themselves
into the ranks of the Democratic party and Join
heart and soul, In an effort at Union saving II
the old Wing party is indeed hopeessly broken
up, and there Is a necessity for its members 10
enter into new political combinations, will the Ar
gus tell us what the Democratic party has to offer
TO encourage recruitss Is 1t not as completely
disntegrated as the Wing partyi Is there any
great Democratic party Of the Union? If so,
where are its leaders, It's principles, its united
rank and fleg We search in vain for evidence Of
their existence.
We discover nothing but broken down party
hacks-we find no recognised platform Of princi.
pies; in fine, we despair of ever seeing another
" harmonious" organization of the unterri6ed De-
mocracy. What Polk left Of the wreck of his
party, Pierce scattered to the winds. The same
food-tide Of public opinion which run down and
overwhelmed the old Wing party with their lead
ers, has overcome the Democratic phalanx with de-
served disorganization and ruin.
The Argus, we opine, must invite the scattered
hosts of Whggery TO more promising entertain
ment than can be offered by the broken down
party OF Franklin Pierce. We should as soon think
Of joining Louis Napoleon against the Russians, as
to go over TO such a pebald gathering as the go
called Democratic party. II has gone done down
like all the old parties-and must be put down per
force.

Some one in defending Peter Francisco from
the charge Of having been negro slave says :
"While yet a lad he apprenticed himself to a
sea-captain for seven years, in pay for his pas
sage to this country" This gallant foreigner
came to Virginia, where he lived, founded
highly respectable family, held the honorable
station Of Sergeant-at-Arms to the House Of
Delegates and died; but the difficulties Of i'm.
migration were greater then than now. Peter
Francisco gave seven years freedom, and
seven years military service for his political
rights but at the present day, if he had been
pauper and thief he could have had a free
passage to the United States, and found friends
to take him to the polls the day after his arrival
as the political equal Of any American citizen.
Verify, Peter Francisco lived half century
or so too soon for his own good.
