Mai. DonelsOn's Speech.

We publish this morning the excellent and
able speech of Hon. ANDREW j. DoNELsoN,
delivered at the Mass Ratification Meeting in
this city on the 4th instant. We ask for this
document careful perusal. If it does not pre-
sent an array of facts sufficient to justify every
disinterested patriot in coming in to the sup
port of the American party-with whatever
party he may have been heretofore identified
we are at loss to know what will. Read
Il, every one.

HARD PREssED.-We have an abundance Of
"signs" that our opponents are hard pressed
for canvassing material, especially in this, the
metropolis county. If any proof had been
wanting on this head, it was amply supplied by
the great disparity witnessed, in our favor,
between the display of American and Anti
American forces and enthusiasm here on the
4th. But they must keep up appearances,
somehow to the best of their ability, until after
the Ides of August. Accordingly we are not
surprised to hear it intimated that an effort is
on foot to ascertain the names of all who have
Joined the American party in this city, or per-
haps county, and withdrawn, to be published,
for effect, abroad, in other parts of the State I!
1t is not expected that such publication will
have any influence here, because it is well
known that the party has taken in a sufficient
number for each withdrawal to enable it to
triumphantly withstand this and every other
effort made for its overthrow. If such pub
licstion shall appear, our friends at q distance
viii know what value to attach to it ust none
ct all, so far as any indication of backward
movement or questionable result in Davidson
county may be supposed to be involved. 1t
will only serve as one of many proofs that our
opponents are hard pressed for capital.

CHOLERA AT LExIS0roS. We notisod few days

KY. The Observer Of Wednesday, says;
The disease made its appearance in our city on
Tuesday, the 25th alt, and up 10 the present time
there have been eighteen deaths. As Is usual upon
the first appearances Of this disease most Of the first
cases proved fatal in 4 short time; but within day
or two past il has. In great measure, lost It's ma

is in our midst bat certainly not as an epidemic,

The charge Of AboiitiOnism-The N. Z. Tribune OF
National Americanism.

In Tile lace OF TIC uudHSHSIdUio Va
facts which we have from time TO time pre-
scented to dsprove the false charge that the
American party seeks to promote sectional
agitation, the candidates and stump speakers
of the Foreign party, continue to ring the
changes upon it. The fact is, since the
adoption of the PHILADELPHIA Platform our
opponents have no tenable ground of oppo.
sition, and are forced to re-hash exploded
objections that were never anything but empty
sound.
The Now York Tribune tells its readers in q
long article what position the American party
occupies in its estimation. The tribune is en-
Anti-slavery paper, above and beyond all things
else. To promote and foment sectional agta-
ton, and array the North against the South, is
the great ultimatum of its labors. We extract
as follows-note especially the last paragraph :;
Design Of the DoughfacsG
The douehfaces Of Pennsylvania aud New York
have always sold out the North whenever question
between Slavery and Freedom has arisen, and We
judge they intend to do il again.
Il Is thus that the power Of the North in these two
States is to-day broken on the vital question OF
Slavery Extension. The great Northern cities are
ready 70 sell out body and soul TO save what they
falsely regard as an impered trade and fourishing
Chances This influence has Of late been gathered
under the feeble wings Of Hunkerism, National
Whiggery, Unions Silver-Grayism, until Il
was near having the breath stamped out Of it's
miserable body by the trampling masses Of the
interior in last years elections To itself and
make itself felt again in national politics it has
gathered itself up and gone over 10 the new party
of Know Nothings. IL is TO be seen 10 the scan
dalous conduct Of the representatives from New
York and Pennsylvania in the late Know Nothing
conelave at Philadel phia-nearly every rascal o
u.om all going for the extension OF Slavery. New
ok and Pennsylvania sold out the North on the
rspeal of the Missouri Compromise. New York
and Pennsylvania again propose 20 cell out the
North on the coming question Of the ratification OF
that enornity.
II the Know Nothings are able TO sell out the
North on the Slavery question in the next Congress,
or the one after the next In the Presidential
election they are suro 20 do IL. This seems now to
be their particular mission, and Pennsylvania and
New Iork are the localities where the transaction
is TO be consumnated.
II Is in view of this but papable fact that the
determined foes Of Slavery aggression should begin
TO concert measures 10 thwart this purpose.
The invetcrate and contemplate doughfaces who
are leading the National Know Nothings ought most
sssuredy 10 be thwarted in their miserable designs
Allies Of the negro 0ligarchy, they win strive 70
sustain themselves by lies aud subteruges They
ought TO be pursued by every kind OF torch and
smoked out OF all their holes and hiding places
New York and Pennsylvania ought to be saved from
their Vaccinations.

------------ OONLORD, nay oW, IoOI.
Ny Dear Sir: rejoice that the leading organ
of our party is now under your control and regard
the change as most suspicious at this juneture.
There is a great battle before us-a battle for the
Union-a battle for the ascendancy Of the principles
the maintenance Of which so nobly sgnalized the ad
ministration of Gen. Jackson The tone, vigor, and
statesman like grasp which you have brought to
the columns Of the Union not merely important,
they are absolutely indispensable in this crisis.

to you 10 fill a mission of the first grade TO one Of
the Courts at which the Spanish language Is spo-
ken. l could not venture the expression Of the
qualification his nomination viii afford me- did not
feel certain that il would meet the appreciation Of
the sound portion Of the Democracy, and have
sautaFy influence as an evidence Of the sympathy
OF your administration with those men who risked
something for the country when powerful CON-
binations, under the garb Of State rights were
busy in sowing the seeds of disunion and civil
War. Col Wilcox in his State took the course
which you did in yours, and thus saved his
party from the Ascendancy Of an ultFaism which
would have been fatal 70 il as the Hartford Con-
Veniion has been to the Federalism the Of 1914

THE HIGH PRICES OF PRODUCE are again ex-
citing much remark Butter, particularly, has
sold higher during the last few days than for
several years previous; from forty TO forty-iour
cents per pound has been common in this city,
Boston, and Philadelphia. Remarking on this
subject, the Boston Courier says:
From Investigations now in progress, it is
found that most articles of food are retailed in
the markets of the sea-board cities at exorbi'
tant rates over their prime cost. There IS no
good reason why this should be so. The
breadth of land available for the supply offood
in proportion to the increase OF population is
not diminishing; on the contrary, thScontinued
opening of new and extended means OF COM
munication have rapidly increased, and the in
flux Of labor has exceeded any drain which
California took from the grain-growing States
The relative value of gold and silver to all
other things is unquestionably beginning to
have its influence in changing the standard
values, but it is slight at present, though still
it is suggestive. The short harvest of last
year, now that the internal navigation is open
ing, has discovered itself. The wheat crop is
very short, and it will not be safe to assume that
flour can remain even at the present high rates;
it will probably advance in price. The Cana
das will be open to u.s. but the best part OF
New York State for wheat growing has suffered
severely from the weevil. We noticed this in
our correspondence from that portion Of the
State last autumn. The uncertainty of the
wheat crop shows the importance Of having
some substitute for IN article Of such universal
use. 1t may be interesting in this connection
to compare the price Of this grain on the lst of
January Of each of the following named years:
In 1898, it sold at rs cents per bushel; in
1896, 81; in 1902, 81; in 1906, So; in 1909,
ST. in 1917 and 1913, 50 25; in 1921, II cts;
in 1887, So %; in lS4S, 81 cents; in 1852,

From the Placer Times and Transcript, March 30.
'The sunlight that follows a shipwreck, is not
less beautiful though it shines upon the remains
of broken barque."
Such Were The words Of Gem published
yesterday in an evening paper, and to-day we
have the proof of the beautiful selection
The remains of Capt, Thomas BAILEY CRoppER
will be carried 10 the grave this afternoon The
bright sun will shine upon them, and although not
a wreck, never did more noble broken barque
receive its rays; and the tears of many, very many
who loved and respected him, will be shed in
fondness for the memory Of so good man.
The remains of more gallant sailor, nobler
man, more generous heart, more beautiful
character, never were borne 10 the grave under
brighter sun. Whilst he lived for the public he
lived for his family and for his friends He had
no enemies; and those who loved him are count
less. When he left Virginia to encounter the ills
of this worl-a-day world" he struck out for him.
SELF took the sea for his profession, dashed the
waves aside like athlete, and al the age of
twenty years. "was the master) captain OF a ship"
al time when il took stout heart and strong
nerve to navigate the Northern Atlantic. lie has
told of his forecastle life during his sickness,
and, though very i'll, The Jolly tar shone out trans
parent and clear his brilliant chivalric spirit,
whilst every word spoke the gentleman.
He 10 command by his exertons and abil-
ity-he has gone 10 his grave amented for his vir-
tues and his worth; with full hope of "a blessed
immortality"
more beautiful smile never dwelt upon him
''who went 10 the regions of the unknown" His
last sigh was for those he loved best and his bless
ing for those at his side. His eyes were closed by
one who had always been as son, TO who n he
had often spoken Of his wife and children.
Blessed are they who die in the Lord, their
works do follow them. G..
