sketch:

A Poor EXcnse.

We caught the Union and american dealing
in small potatoes the other day, and we give
below its defense. We charged it with pub
fishing an extract from speech of Mr.. Barker
of New York on the 10th of June, credting it
to the New York Times of May Oath. and then
re publishing the same extract on last Friday
morning, stating that it was delivered since
the disruption of the Philadelphia Convention.
The tone Of the extract suited very well the
purpose of the Union and american, which
was to produce the impression that the Amer
lean party in New York did not approve the
Philadelphia platform. Unfortunately, how
ever, it was delivered in May, and long before
that convention met, and the fact had been
stated EDIToRIALLY in the Union and Amaeri-
can of June 10th. But a desperate course re-
quires desperate defense. The extract was
re-published with a bran new preface, stating
that the speech from which it was taken was
made "since the disruption" of the Philadel-
phia Convention. Hear how our neighbor gets
out of this dilemma:
Gas to the extract from Barker's speech, we cop
led il as We found it in the Charleston Mercury a
paper usually very accurate. We did not doubt
the genuineness of the extract"
Nobody has disputed the "genuiness of the
extract" 1t is the accurateness of the eaito-
rial comments which we dispute. In one paper
it is stated tina. the speech was delivered at
one time, and in another, that it was delv-
cred at another time. The fact is pinned down
upon our neighbor, and he gets out of it by
talking about the ''genuneness of the extract"
trying 20 throw the responsibility upon some
one else. A most lame and impOtent dodge.

The New Cemetery.

The recent announcement that new Cemetery
was about to be opened in the neighborhood of the
city, received by the public with great satisfac,
ton. Feeling deep socitude in the matter, l have
taken the pains to make enquiries in relation to
it, which propose to make public.
As to the immediate Importance of the proposed
measure, there can be but one opinion. The City
Cemetery is too much surrounded by Railroads and
commercial operations to retain that air of quiet and
sanctity so much desired. Besides it is too nearly
filed up with graves TO be much longer used as a
burial place. 1t contains only about twenty one
acres of ground, while the new Cemetery will have
about one hundred and twenty five acres or, it
will be six times as large as the old Cemetery This
is a material difference. The old Cemetery cannot
be extended. whilst the new one can be, to any
extent. Aside from the advantage of being out of
the city, the new Cemetery is situated on a COM
handing eminence, from which the city is in full
view. II is to be called "Mount olvet Cemetery"
a name as handsome as it is appropriate.
Understand it proposed to let citizens take
stock to the amount Of $4,000, the whole of which
is to be expended in identifying and ornamenting
the grounds, after which portion OF the lots will
be offered for sale. The management of the Gene.
terry will be under the control of those who take
the stock. Such, in brief is the plan for com.
mencing a magnificent and extensive burial place.
commensurate with the wants of this and future
generations. SENoLA.

rAs Administration making Catholic Test.

The administration of Franklin Pierce stands
condemned by TENNESSEE witness of requir-
ing an applicant for a petty mail agency to
PROMISE TO DEFEND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
And vet. of such is the party which is crying
out against Americans upon the false charge
that they are in favor of religious prescription
Read the following statement which has been
published in three or four papers in East Ten
nessee:
That in discussion at Loudon, between Messrs.
Blackwell, Anderson and Lillard, candidates for
Congress, few weeks ago, Mr.. Liliard stated that
he visited Washington city ia 1853, and made ap-
plication for the appointment of mail agent on the
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, and that the
Post Office Department required Of him before 1t
would give him the appointment that he MUST
promise 10 defend the Catholic Church"
The Athens Post says in re-publishing this
statement, with a correction we have inserted
above:
What Lieut. Liard has said on the subject, be
stands ready TO make good a. any time. 1t will
hardly be necessary, however, 20 recur TO the sub
ect again. as il has always been the practice OF the
Catholic party 10 question the yeTacity and try TO
backen che character of ali who refuse 70 yield a
blind and slavish obedience to its behests, or pre-
sumo to doubt the infaibility of its teachings. Its
assaults are harmless the Protestant public know
precisely how much importance to sttach 70 them.
AMERICANS, is il not time 70 pause and pom
deri Why was Mr.. Postmaster General Camp
bell appointed to that responsible and intiuen-
tial positioni Il has been charged that the
place was secured to him by bargain, and
as the price of the Catholic vote for Pierce
We do not assert that this charge is true, but
we do most unhesitatingly say We believe it to
be true. Why? We will give one single rea-
son, which is enough to satisfy the most incred-
ulous.
Hon. KENNETH RAYNER Of North Carolina,
in a public speech at Washington City on the
2lst Of June, made the following statement:
Our late Minister to Spain, Mir. Barringer, stated
10 me, in Baltimore, that the POpes Nuncio at the
Court of SPAIN said to him, before the news OF the
formation of Pierces Cabinet reached there, II can
tell YOU one man that will be in the Cabinet That
will be Mr.. Campbell Of Pennsylvania, AS a member
of the Catholic Church"
"Mr Campbell of Pennsylvania, AS men,
Der of the Catholic Church I" Not as an
American citizen and freeman, independent OF
all religious influence, but 'Gs a member of the
Catholic Church"-Gs seroant Of the Pope Of
Rome How well Mr. Campbell is fulfilling
his part of the obligation may be inferred from
the disclosures OF Lieut.. LILLARD. He is GER
tainly assiduous in his attempt to spread Ro-
manism, and promote the power of the Pope,
when he presumes to approach a free born
Tennesseean with proposition to sell himself
TO defence of Catholicism for a miserable

On the LIST Monday in this month, the can

sentative addressed the people at Carthage
A correspondent writes as follows of the speech
of Col. DESITTE, candidate for Floater
"Col Dewtte of Macon, candidate for loater, led
off in a speech of some length, though quite un-
well. / can say with truth, more powerful argu'
ment-eloquent and convincing on the great AMER

will make one Of the most accomplished orators OF
the day. His diguihed department, urbane man.
ners, and his store of useful knowledge, and his
superior gift of oraory, will rank him in the next
Legislature of Tennessee one of the first young
men of the age. He is winning tame and repu-
tation which any man of bis age might feel proud
Of Our political horizon is bright. Sam Is proud,
and winniAe his laurels every day."
s3y- From the Rochester On. " american,
a conservative paper of very high respectable
ty, we clip the following: -
An Oath as is an Oath.
A recent number of the Drogheda Argus, an
Irish Roman Catholic paper, contains the following
statement in reference to its countrymen in the
United States:-
"The conduct Of too many of CUR countrymen
WHO have emigrated is anything but what it ought
TO have been, and as a necessary consequence, the
weI.djsposed are often COMPOUNDED with the turbu-
lent. Bigots find arguments in the foolish and
irreligious associations into which many Irishmen
allow themselves to be entrapped."
That journal proceeds to give the following oath
which it is asserted that the Irish Catholics take
when joining Secret Society, existing here as well
as in Ireland -
al. Patrick M'Kennan, swear by Saints Peter and
Paul, and by the Blessed Virgin Mary to be always
faithful to the society Ribbon) to keep and conceal
all its secrets and its words OF ORDER to be always
ready to execute the commands Of my superior
officers and as far as it shall lie in my power to
extirpate all the Proestsnts and walk in their blood
TO the knees. May the Virgin Mary and all the
saints help me. To-day, the I'd June, 1858. Pat
NJ KEENAN,, from TydaVenete, county Monaghan"
The Drogheda paper gives publicity to this beau
tful little obligation in order to complain that such
oaths "render nugatory all the efforts of our
(CathoIic) Oergymen to COMBAT Know Nothingsm."
The Anserioan C.H, a Roman Catholic organ
published in New York, says in reference to the
abuse -
ave would respectfully caution the Irish editors
against giving credeu ce to statements damaging 20
their countrymen in America; we have enough to
contend against, without having them quoted in
testimony against u.s."
Sensible Why viii "Irish editors" let such
cats out Of the bag to scratch and bite the innocent
Ribbon men in America, who have so much ito
rontend against 2"

The Daily Nashville true Whig. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1851-1855, 1855-07-11

The True Wing thinks that Gov. JOHNSON "slan-
ders and Whites large portion of his constituents
If the True Wing could answer a fair question, we
should like to hear it candidy say, if in all its ex-
perieDce it has ever known or heard Of a pubic
man who has been as shamelessly and as unceas-
ngly sandered and vilI6ed by his opponents as has
been Gov. JOHNSON during this canvass? With an
experience running back over many years OF party
conflicts, we have never witnessed anything 10
compare with the grossness and reclessness OF the
assaults to which Governor JOHNSON has been sub
jected since the canvass opened Union aud
Ameyican.
We beg the Union and american to specify
just a few of the SANDERS and reckless assaults
to which Gov. johnson has been subjected In
this canvass. We have been and still are of
the opinion, that in proportion to his deserts,
Gov. johnson has been the most kindly treated
candidate we have ever seen in the Held
Many men of his own party can be found to
endorse the sentiment of his opponent, Col.
Gentry, that in proportion to his talents, he is
the most mischievous man of the age. And
were it not for the fact that the defeat of
johnson, and that for the sake of sustaining
party, devoted partizans do not hesitate to
swallow him head and ears, with all his agra
riaD, demagoguical isms, hisdescent to merited
obscurity would be even more signal than it is
Dc stined to be in August next. 1t is useless
for the Union and american to attempt to
palm off Andrew Johnson a second time upon
the people of Tennessee. Even though sugar
coated with all the strong ties of party at
tachment, he never viii stay upon their
stomachs again. They have sickened of him
severely. Even those leaders ofs the anti
American party who feel constrained to strike
occasionally blow for the success of their
party, say very little or nothing of Andrew
Johnson Even the editor of the Union and
american himself cannot support him with
that zeal and enthusiasm SO necessary for sue
cess in such cause.
But again, we ask the Union and american
to specify some of the ISLANDERS and vill6cations
which have been uttered against the candidate
of the antiAmerican party, and the author of
the politco-religious theory of Jacobs Ladder
convergence9 We have a curiosity to hear
them2
