American Cause in the south.


The Americans had meeting at London, Ten
nessee, last Friday. Judge Brien was present. and
spoke at length. johnson can do nothing there.
Even that prescription" of which they accuse
the American party is brought into play by the
johnson party. We take an excellent illustration
Of this fact from the Memphis True Wing
"An American friend informs US that, in a
neighboring town in Middle Tennessee, a working
mechanic was employed by prominent Democrat
TO do job Of work. Before the work was COM
menced, but after the mechanic had made prepare
ton for It, the employer asked him hor far his
Democracy carried him The mechanic replied
that be did not know what he meant and asked to
be informed. win your Democracy carry you
far enough to vots for johnson r said his nt0r-
rogator. No, sir, said the honest, independent
American mechanic. Then you can't do work
for me- was the emphatic reply, and he was dis
missed"
In North Carolina they are still more desperate.
Mr.. Shepard, one Of the American candidates for
Congress, has been accused of being In favor Of
establishing kingly government in the United States.
Why don't he support King Piercef Isn't he
King enough
from the canvass Of Ex-Governor Wood. The con-
test for the Gubernatorial chair will therefore, be
between Pease, Dickson, and johnson.
Colonel Ector, editor Of the Henderson Demo
craft wrote to General Rusk, requesting his views
Of Know othingsm. General Rusk's reply, which
we find in the Democrat Of the 7th inst, expresses
his opposition TO the Know-Nothing party, and
says he has regarded their efforts from the begin.
ming as intended TO secure Office and political
power.

Temporal Supremacy.

Some acute correspondent has furnished US the
following exposition Of the faacy that citizen
owe divided allegiance:
"DR. BRowssoN AND THE PopE--Dr. Brownson,
in letter written to the editor Of the Worcester
(Mass.) News says Of the Pope:
a. In matters purely temporal, J. as Catholic
owe no obedience TO the Pope, because he has re.
ceived from Jesus Christ no authority as a tenn
poral sovereign over me. He cannot make or
unmake the rights Of the sovereign or the duties
of the subject-abrogate the former, or absolve
from tbs latter
Every act has two relations-one spiritual and
the other temporal To say that there is right
to control men in their spiritual relations and not
in their temporal s manifestly absurd, ifnot worse
because, as every act may be viewed in it's spirit
ual relation, every act may be controlled by the
so.called spiritual power. Win DR.. Brownson say
wlo is to decide what "matters" are "purely
temperate
Christ's authority is complete and extends to all
the acts Of men; and the authority of his vice
gerent, IL It is anything, must be the same in kind
Il not in degree. The truth is, Christ never dele
gated his authority in any sense, to eny man, but
recognised any temporal government which mans
own sense Of right and wrong has chosen to adopt
ALEXANDRIA RanwAYs.-The correspondent Of
the Sun Gays II may be fairly estimated that the
travel and transportation over the Orange and
Alexandria railroad yields one thousand dollars

The progress Of the Manassas Gap Independent
line is perceptible to the daily observer. Travel
and freight thereon continues lively.

A Groan from an Old Line Wing of Ohio,

The following is from the Newark Times, form
erly an old line Wing organ:
ave were yesterday at the State Convention at
Columbus, and returned after midnight, sick unto
death with the doings, in part, ofthat wooly head
ed concern. Chase was nominated on the FIRST
ballot, for Governor, by large vote Thus SEEM
ingly are we tied, like an old battered tin PAM to
the tails Of the oneideadarkey party Of Ohio, and
OH We gods s. p. Chase OUR ieadsriN Well,
let those that nominated him elect him. II they
can; we know 1t win be done, If ever il Is done,
(which evil may God in His providence averti)
without our aid, in any way or shape.
ct. w. Ford was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor, and Brinkerhoff for Supreme Judge;
and, to the establishment Of hundreds Of their
friends, who did not for moment forget the l5th
Of August, they accepted An ounce Of civet,
good apothecary.'"-Unio
We are delighted to hear such "groans."
They indicate the determination Of the old
line Wings to resist the election of Chase, and
confirm the hope that Scott Harrison, ESQ,
will be nominated by that party as the "anti.
Chase" candidate, aud that all who are hostile
to that arch sgitator may be compelled alike
to groan."

THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAvoRs.

The Know-nothings Of Baltimore are exult-
ing over little victory they achieved on Fri.
day, in the election in the 10Th ward, Of their
candidate for Common Council. His majority
was 76 This grand achievement has ELECTED
as hearty and stunning hurrahs as the Allies
uttered when Sebastopol was taken. However,
we congratulate them on this timely crumb Of
comfort. 1t has revived and reinvigoraied
them. But the manner in which they secured
success does not seem to be very creditabe to
them. The Baltimore Republican says:
"The Mount Vernon Hook and Ladder Com.
pany took possession Of the polls crowding out
the Democratic challengers and preventing a
large number Of naturalzed citizens from vot.
ing. In one case a naturalized citizen sue
ceeded in getting in his vote, but Immediately
the ruffians around the window cried ont "kiil
the id Dutch son Of bitch" when he was
knocked down and carried out
"Another old man named Myers who has
been voter for thirty years, and is sixty years
of age, was knocked down three times, and de.
prived from voting. Messrs. Eegleston, Ma.
guire, and others, who we're quietly looking ON
and molesting no one, we're knocked down.
Among the most active participants in these
outrages are found city watchmen.'

AMERICAN CONSUL AT PANAMA
DIFFICULTIES.

The details Of the intelligence, published
elsewhere, from New Grenada, explains the
telegraphic despatch previously received from
New Orleans, stating that the American Consul
at Panama mr. Thomas w. Ward had
"struck his flag in consequence Of certain
'insults' from the authorities Of New Grenada,
in that Province.
The documents in relation to the affair being
too long for publication we adopt the following
brief but clear statement Of the matter from
the New York Express.
An American named Hunter was arrested
and thrown into prison, charged with breach
oftrust in some business transactions, preferred
against him BY one Totten. The accusation
was subsequently, abandoned, by the com.
plainant, Hunter making full restitution The
Consul applied TO the officer having iurisdc.
ton in the case, but that person declined 10
act, on the ground that he was III with the
rheumatism. Mr.. Ward then wrote TO the Gov.
ernor, but it suited that functionary 10 paw no
attention to tin fact, the Consurs letter.
enclosing this application, being returned IN
opened. Thereupon, the Consul enters pro.
test,-reads II TO an approving meeting Of
