The Canvass.

Our only information from John
SOD aud Gentry is through the news
papers. Johnson's friends in East
Tennessee now regard his election as
certain. The Kingston Gazetteer,
an able and well conducted paper in
that section, and hitherto neutral in
politics, on the 18th inst, placed at
its mast head the name of Andrew
johnson for Governor. The editor is
a firm friend and able advocate Of re.
ligious liberty; he has been listening
to The candidates. and says: "l
Gov. johnson has gained such victo.
ries In Middle and West Tennessee
as be is gaining in East Tennessee,

E. II. Bartlett, Of Kentucky, Presi'
dent of PHILADELPHIA Council.

The name of this worthy is signed
to the 'pretermitting' platform as
President of the Conclave which a.
dopted it. When we saw it an
nounced that Wilson, Gardner & Co.,
voted for him in preference to Barker,
a Silver Grey, conservative Wing Of
New York, we suspected that he was
a wolf in sleeps clothing-an Adolf
ZIONIST hailing from the South, and
therefore the more to be Stunned and
despised. His antecedents are related
in the following extract from a late
Washington Star:
"He's a Massachusetts, man. 1t
seems that Senator Wilson & Co.'S
new president of the Know Nothing
National Council, DR.. Bartlett, is not
Kentuckian, as alleged, but LOW
ELL YANKEE, transported to Ken
lucky some ten years ago, where he
has been pursuing the business of a
theological and literary teacher
He is an fact one Of the "uyust, IN
righteous and damnable" class of Kan-
kss Deputy Preachers or Lectursrs--cf
the class whose names are to be found
upon the List Of the Three thousand
Abolition ezersynaen vho mathematical
the President, Congress, the South,
and Senator Douglass especially,an the
hope of thus defeating the enactment
of the Nebraska. Bill This accounts
for the fact that, though from Ken
lucky, he was supporter of the
views of Senator Wilson in the Con-
vention, and the unanimity with
which the Senator and his abolition
coadjutors there assembled sustained
his pretensions, though delegate
from slaveholding State, over Bar
ker, a pro-slavery New Yorker
Such is the man under whose seal the
'pretermiting' platform is commend
ed to Southern favor"

In the New York Herald, whose

thus talks about himself after he got
so outrageously split up in the Phila-

'dt cannot be too often repeated;

to fear. All is plain sailing, and il
members adhere to their principles,

Yes, "the dangers are known
Sam, very much as a certain entirely
reliable 'furrin pilot knew the dangers
of the shoals he was navigating
Sure says he, "don't 1 know every
rock in this channel?" And a mo
ment after, as the vessel struck, "be
Ijabers," says he, "that's one of 'em'
Sam, through the Herald, counts
unincubated chickens after the follow
ing enthusiastic fashion,

One Week!

PEOPLE OF LINCOLN the time has
nearly come for you to show your
power. 1t needs not that we should
address you in glowing exhortations
to call you to your duty. The con-
siderations which should impel you to
its faithful performance are familiar
to you all. You have a Governor
zealously and faithfully striving to
carry out the great measures for which
you contend, and you should sustain
him by triumphant vote here in the
Empire County of the State.
Another consideration which should
rally you, is the worth of your candi-
dates. 1t is seldom that they are gen.
orally so unexceptionable as the ones
now before you. They are mostly
men for whom you can vote with plea
sure and pride. To the rescue, then!
and let next Thursday night add an
other to the bright list of your hard
fought battles and effulgent hiumphs.

Letter from Arkansas,

tCvrespondsnce Of the Fayetteville Obs~p~1
PoPE County, Arkansas,(
June 80, 1856.
Mr.. N. o. Wallace:
DEAR SIR emigrated to these
parts last fall, after having spent up
wards Of forty years of my life in
old Lincoln, and as some of the boys
back there think 1 have got to the
backside of nowhere, and almost out
of the reach of civilization, and on
poor barren land not fit for cultivation,
| would ask small space in your ex-
cenent paper, to, let you and your
readers know something Of the pro-
auctions of our soil.
/ have tested the wheat crop. I
was fortunate enough, when pur-
chased a farm, to get a wheat thresher
on it, and / have been engaged for the
last two weeks in threshing. We will
average about 20 bushels to the bushel
sowing; yet where it has been eco
nomically put in, it will far oyergo that.
have threshed and measured as high
as "a bushels to the bushel soWn, and
we have got as high as 523 pounds
of flour to the bushel of as superfine
as | ever saw in Tennessee. If old
Lincoln can beat this, / will give it
up. Some close observers who have
been taking items, think there will be
over one hundred thousand bushels
raised in this county; and there are
ten thousand acres of Uncle Sans
land yet waiting, for the industrious
farmers Our oat harvest is just on
hand, and 1 think it will double any
that I have ever seen. Our present
corn crop is also great. If no disas-
ter befals us, there will be corn enough
made this year, 60 supply us for two
years to come. But our abundant
yield is no marvel, for it grows on de-
mocratic soil. We have fine schools
and academies. The Arkansas people
are intelligent and enterprising. Our
county casts near one thousand votes,
and democratic to the core. The eli
mate is delightful. We have the
prairie breezes of the South, and the
pure mountain airofathe North. The
health of the country is good-the
doctors are furnishing.
You will probably hear from me
again. Until then, I remain,
| Yours truly, HUGH TAYLOR.

Why Should They Contend!

There is no reason why wings and
democrats should now contend with
each other. There is no reason why
they should at this time oppose each
other. There are no political ques-
tions now before the country on
which wings and democrats should be
divided. The doctrines of the new
party, headed by Gentry in this
State, and organized to kill Oft
James C. Jones and destroy the
whig party, are doctrines that TIE
whig party we're more opposed to,
three years ago, than were the demo-
Gratis. Wings and democrats should
not therefore act in opposition to
each other, but as friends Of SOUTH
ern rights, and equal privileges in
matters Of religion, they should u
mite to put down dangerous enemy
to themselves, and TO the country.
An exchange says:
''Ws begin to see that the num-
Der Of old line Clay wings who pre-
fer the anti-Know Nothing candi-
dates rather than join in the relig-
ious test and naturalization modifics-
ton, is not so small, but that a res
pectable party remains who repudiate
the principles upon which Col. Gen
try is running the race. At Rome,
Smith Comfy, large number came
put boldly and aided in general
barbecue with the democratic party
leld on the 14th. Their res
buttons were published in the Union

WHEAT.

We penned a paragraph last week
based on what We deemed good au-
thority, to the effect that 10000 bush
els of Wheat, at the Shelbyville depot
was ruined by mould. Our informant
however, was in error, as may be seen
on reading the following letter from
one of the first commission houses Of
Shelbyville. We are Intimately &C
quainted with Messrs. ColdweN 4
Cummings, and know them to be gen.
tlsmen Of integrity and superior bu.
siness habits, and that their state
ments may be implicitly relied on
SHELBYvnLE, July 19, 1855.
Mfr. ~ o. Wallace:
DEAR SIR-We notice from an ar.
ticle in your paper, that some one has
Informed you that there had been
10000 bushels Wheat spoiled in oul
Depot. Your informant is certainly
mistaken-if there has been one
bushel spoiled, it is not known.
The Wheat that has been delivered
here is of the finest quality, and has
come to market in very fine condi-
ton; and we think there is no doubt
but that it will keep well with the ex-
ception of some little that was brought
to market quite early, and that has
been ground into flour.
We are still buying Wheat and
paying the highest market price in
Cash. The present price is Soc for
good dry wheat.
Very Respectfully,
CoLDwELL & CUMMINGS.

The Temperance Question


THIS is one Of the moral reforms
of the day that has elected muvh
feeling upen the part of large pors
ton of the people. All must feel
thar intemperance is great moral
evil. That some wholesome legisla.
ton might be had upon the subject
without transcending the true bounds
of legislative business, is generally
admitted; but the great difficult
ty has been, and still is, to keep this
question out Of the hands of dema1
gogues, who, while they feel no sim
cers interest upon the subject, are
ever willing to seize hold of every
question TO advance their own IN.
worthy purposes. So it was two years
in this county, when they endeavs
ored to defeat the democratic candi-
date, Mr.. Sykes, who was true, con-
sistent temperance man, member Of
the order Of the Sons Of Temper
ance, and had done much to advance
the cause by his public lectures in
this and other counties. The same
course of policy, only of more OBJ
jectionsble character, has been a.
dopted in the present canvass. The
know-nothing organization has seized
hold Of it, and are frsudulently en-
deayoring TO peEvert it to their IN
holy purposes, to the serious dstn-
lment of the temperance cause. All
unprejudieeG minded temperance
men must see this, and put their foot
upon it at once. The desired OBJ
liect Of the friends Of this reform can
never be accomplished in this way;
but the cause will seriously retarded
so long as political hucks!ers are per-
mittsd to drag it into the political
arena, to advance their ends. We
are proud to say that the democrat
ic party have never attempted to
subvert a noble cause to accomplish
their party purposes. Processing to
be nationalizsd upon certain greas
leading principles in the theory Of
Government, they will leave all side
issues to be advocated or opposed as
different individuals may think prop
er, without attempting to advance or
retard such questions by party &C.
ton; but leaving public sentiment
unrsstrained in these respects, to
work out its own results. We say
70 our friends Of the temperance
cause nov, we mean its true friends,)
that the only way to advance the
cause successfully, is to keep it clear
of party trammels, rely upon good
men under the pressure Of public
sentiment, to do what is right, and
frown down Indignantly every effort
upon the part Of demagogues TO seize
: upon this question, and mix it With
, politics, as means of foisting
themselves into power and place. Let
the true friends of temperance look
we'll to this.

| Political C1eryymsn-This class
of men have increased very hume
rously during the last five or siz
years. Many of them now enjoy 6
reputation, based far more upon their
capacity and skill in treatment Of po'
Ilitical subjects and secular measures
than on their calculations Of Scrip.
lures, or labors in the cause Of man 5
redemption.
There can be no justification fol
turning the pulpit into political
stumping ground: it is deadly to the
cause of religion, and turns sacred
things into scott and jest.
The influence of pulpit politics
cannot be other than detrimental,
both in religious and worldly view.
The result of political teachings
fiom the pulpit is the fostering Of
an unhealthy excitement, creating
such an interest in the mind as to
wholly unfit it for, and create in it
an indifference as to, the common
every day duties of life. Peoria
