Know-Nothingism has got to so low
an ebb, even in N. York, that among
decent intelligent people, it is re-
garded as term of reprcach. 1t is,
therefore, with great pleasure that
We make room for the following EN-.
phatic contradiction to an unbound
ed calumny, which we find in a
late number of the Hamilton (New
York; Journal:
"Certain malicious persons in 9TH
er parts Of the country, who desire
to injure the good name of our vii
age, are endeayoring to spread a
report that there are know.notbings
among US. This is base calumny.
There was council here, but now
it is utterly broken up and scattered
like chaff before the wind. No meet
ings are held none since last spring
and none ever will be again. There
was not even sufficient vitality in
the concern to appoint a delegate to
the BinghamtOn convention. Don't
let US hear any more, then, about this
man or that one being a Hindoo."

Liability Of Banks.

The liability Of banks in paying
forged checks upon them, has been
established by the courts OF both Eng
land and the United States. The rule
established is to this effect: If a
bank pay check with forged sigma
ture, it cannot afterwards recover the
amount of the endorser, or from the
party to whom it may have been paid,
although the latter may be able to
sustain the loss. THE Bank as bound
to hnosv the signature Of ats own cas-
.tOners, and cannot recover the amount
paid on a forged check unless there
be collision between the parties to the
check, or unless the bank obtain, (as
it should,) whenever there is any
doubt as to genuineness of the sigma
lures, a guarantee from the payee.
A disputed case (the New York
Courier says) arose in that CITY last
month. A check on the sub-Heasu-
ry, drawn by discussing officer in
the West, was presented, with sig
nature so different from that of the
drawer on file that payment was re-
fused, unless the banker here who re-
ceiyed it from his correspondent would
guarantee the signature to be genu-
inc. This the latter refused to do,
although the demand was perfectly
reasonable, and the check was pro-
tested for non-payment. In this case
The check turned out TO be genuine;
out the subtreasury officers pursued
he right course under tho circum-
stances, knowing that, if fraudulent
md paid by them, the loss weuld fall
lpon them individually.

AbOlitionisls in The Slave Trade

The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch says:
off the secret history of the Afri-
can slave trade could be brought to
light, some facts would be disclosed
which would place in their true colors
many of the most rabid New England
abolitionists. That the vessels engaged
in this traffic, and their officers and
men, are almost without a single ex-
ception from New England, is a fact
not universally admitted. 1t may not,
however, be so generally known that
the persons chiefly interested in the
profits of the African slave trade are
steady going, long faced, Puribanical
New England Abolitionists, who make
an awful cutlery about slavery, and as
quietly pocket the proceeds of a
successful voyage for black cattle asfor
sperm oil. On one occasion, an officer
of the United States Navy, who had
captured an African SLAYER, took her
into the Massachusetts, port from which
she had sailed, but was uttely unable
to secure the conviction of the &C
cused, from the simple fact that nearly
all the people of the Place, including
lawyers and judges, were relatives Of
the crew, and interested in the traffic
These same people were among the
most furious Abolitionists in the coun.
try"

Our information, from a most relia-
BILE correspondent, leaves no doubt
that Judge Harris is giving not only
satisfaction to the bar, clients and as
sociate Judges upon the Supreme
Bench, but that he is winning for
himself golden opinions from all per-
sons in East Tennessee. He is able,
and discriminating as a jurist;
he is firm, consistent, and scrupulous-
ly conscientious as man. He, like
other men, sometimes gets wrong
but he will not stay wrong. He has
the moral courage to tell, always, tile
truth; and invariably to perform what
he feels to be his duty! We think,
both as a jurist and man, he has
few equals In Tennessee, and certain
ly no superiors!
Judge Harris did not seek the po-
sition he now occupies-he never
sought it-5ut the leading and prom
inent members of the bar, and many
distinguished citizens, invited him to
become candidate-also recommend
ed his appointment by His Excellen-
cy, Gov. Johnson! !,
He has received and accepted the
appointment. He reluctantly yielded
to the wishes of his friends, and has
been by them announced as candi-
date for election blythe people, and
he, now, has no alternative in self-res-
pect but to run the canvass. He is
the peoples candidate, and will be vo-
ted Tor from Carter to Shelby, ilre.
spective of party.
In elections of this character, al
political elements should be kept out
Let us vote for men Of distinguished
merit, for those most able and compe
tent to discharge the duties of the
high, and delicate, and responsible
trust. There are men without merit
who would introduce politics in such
elections; but those most inclined tc
do SO, are small, feeble men, who have
no personal power or strength to be
elevated to high stations Independent
of political and party assistance
Judge Harris is nor, and will contin
ue to be, candidate for the Supreme
Court Bench of this State. IF al
ADLER and better man can be present
ed to the country, the people will Sc
lect him, but if not, then, Hon. W
q. Harris, who has talent, integrity
and fitness. will be elected most tri
umphaptly.
The people have discrimination
give them proper opportunities fo'
thought and. judgment, and they very
seldom err! We abide most cheerful
ly the popular decision of this grear
question one pregnant with conse
.quences to the 'Speace and dignity o
the State.' @Judge Harris has made
a decided and very favorable i'm

superior, to Hon. w. r. Harris. Ht

The SPEAKERsHIP OF CONGRESS. -
The Washington correspondent O.
the Charleston Standard speaks o.
Col. Richardson, of Illinois, as a
prominent candidate for the speak,
ership of the United States House
of Representatives. The same writer
expresses the opinion, however, that
Mr.. Orr, of South Carolina, will be
the strongest man Of the Democracy,
with fair share Of popularity with
his Wing friends.
GEO. w. JONES, of this State, says
the Memphis Appeal, would make a
fine Speaker. He has been long a
member of the House, is perfectly ia
miliar With parliamentary proceed
ings, is a clever gentleman, and as
sound as democrats ever get to be-.
In our estimation, he fills the bill
most perfectly: 'honest, capable and
faithful to the Constitution" We
hope in casting about for a candidate,
his qualifications will not be over
looked; while at the same time it |
will be readily admitted that either
Of the gentlemen above mentioned
would grace the Speakers Chair.

Dedicated TO Miss Ann Ringe

She's gone, her spotless soul is gone
Triumphant to her place above,
Her prison walls are broken down,
The angels speed her swift remove,
And shouting on their wings she flies
And gains her rest in Paradise,
To chant with all her friends above
The glorious everlasting love.
'Tis sad, tits sad to know.
Her beating pulse is gore,
We know that they viii come no moro
For oh! they have past away.
Weep not, weep not. for thy dear ANN
Looks upon thee from above,
And is waiting to embrace thee
In the land of light and love.
The fairest flowers that adorn
The charming month of May,
Beneath the rays of summers sun
Must wither and decay.
All things are destined to depart,
Flowers have their time to fall,
And her sweet form has passed away
To slumber with the dead. ~
Smooth her hair and close her eyelids,
I Let the window curtains fail,
With smile upon her features
She hath answered to her call.
Oh. may we all. like her believe,
And keep the faith and win the prize
Father prepare, and then receive
/ Our hallowed spirits to the skies.''

The Sound Dues Again.
OF MEMPHIS.

According to the Paris correspond
ent of the New York Tribune, the Al
lied Powers are about to defend the
alleged rights of Denmark to the
Sound Dues. This is to be done on
condition that Denmark will join the
Western Alliance against Russia. A
special diplomacy is going on at Par
is to effect this arrangement, which, if
consummated, will be very likely to
involve the United States in war with
that powerful European Confederacy,
which has lately taken Sevastopol,
and threatens now to deluge the world
in blood. The United States have
declared that after April next we will
pay the Sound Dues no longer. To
carry this determination out, our honor
is pledged, and it wiN be maintained
Whether England, France and Com
pany viii disregard their own particu-
lar interests, and insist upon the prin.
ciple of the Sound Dues, in order to
bring Denmark into the Alliance, re,
mains to be seen. Their death-strug-
gle for power, and envious hatred o.
the United States, will likely lead tt
this.
During the Presidency of John Ty
Ter, our Government determined Il
put a forcible end to the imposition
Mr.. Upshur, then Secretary of State
fitted out feet of merchantmen ant
vessels Of war, under Commodore
Stewart, which he designed SHOULD
force its way into the Baltic, and thu
at once rid the United States of Thu
Sound duties. Mr.. Upsher's suddei
death, however, by the explosion Of ;
cannon, just as the feet was read,
to start, delayed the expedition, ans
it was finally abandoned.
Other attempts were made to abol
ISL this tax while Denmark was a
war with Schleswig-Holst Nh
Flenniken, the United States Minis
ister, offered, on the part of his gov
eminent, to pay Denmark ,S250,00'
for a ten years suspension of th
dues; his death prevented the dispo
sal coming to head. Finally, on tn
18th of April last, the United States
notified the Danish Government 0
their intention to cease paying tht
Sound duties, and the stipulation o
the treaty viii accordingly expire
next spring. Should no amicable ar
rangement of the question be arrived
at in the meanwhile, we may then ex
pect to see our vessels passing the
Sound under warlike convoy. A Sc
rious conflict viii then most probably
arise.
The Danes are much alarmed upor
this subject, and fear the United
States will seize upon their West
India possessions; the Islands of st
Thomas and St. Croix. They are be-
heyed to be soliciting the good off,
ces of the French Government
