SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. I, 1855.
EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD VOTE.

A country is well governed not only
in proportion to the intelligence of those
who control, but the number who partic-
ipate in its government. 1t is through
the ballot box that every citizen exercises
his influence upon the legislation, and,
consequently, the destinies of the repub-
lie. The first indication of the decay of
a love for liberty is manifested by indif-
ference to voting, That country will be
the freest, the best governed, and longest
lived where every citizen exercises the
right of franchise, and regards it as du-
ty to vote. 1t is not merely Alright, to be
exercised or not at the option of the in
dividual, but a solemn duty imposed on
him by his love for his country, and the
advancement of his race. Let no man
neglect it; the gravest responsibilities are
frequently incurred by carelessness
about what appears to be a trivial duty.
We call on every voter to go TO the polls,
"uCLuCI uC DC Vi huOW-nOIQ-
ing, and to do his duty to himself and his
country. We particularly call upon eve
ny democrat to vote; no plea of business,
or money-making, or Incidence, will ex-
cuse his absence. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty"
Let every naturalized citizen who is
entitled to vote take his naturalization
papers with him, and be ready to exhibit
them to the judges when called on to do
so.
In the city, let every thing be done de-
Gently and in order. Let democrats re-
member that the good name of the city
is in the keeping of its orderly citizens,
and any temporary political triumph is
dearly purchased, if obtained at the ex-
pense of law and order.

WORK. WORK II

The canvass is nearly at a close. The day for
argument has passed-the hour for action has ar
rived Our speakers and editors, in all portions
of the State, have done their whole duty in this
contest Night and day they have labored in the
good cause. Having done all that they can, their
last appeal is to their friends throughout the State
to do their duty on the day of the election.
Every man has a duty to perform-that duty IS
to his country n return for the blessings it con-
fers
There are none so humble that they cannot do
something on the day of election. Talk with
your neighbors and urge them to vote right. Kun
through your minds all who have voted, and bring
to the polls all that have not See that those who
are detained by sickness, or otherwise, have con-
yeyauces, or such other help as will enable them
to come out Watch the polls that none may be
permitted to vote except those who are legally
entitled. Watch for spurious tickets gotten up to
swindle the honest voter. Ask for nothing but
what is right, submit to nothing thst is wrong.
A great deal depends on the right kind OF action
on the day of the election. There is no doubt
but the popular heart is W it'll the Democrscy-but
the popular will is frequently defeated by the su-
perior organization and energy of the opposing
party.
Let it not be SO this time. Know-nothinglsm,
by its secret appliances, is thoroughly organized.
They are struggling with all the desperation OF
party whose very life hangs upon the result. AS
party it has sho.0n itself to be thoroughly un-
scrupuloug aud prepared to resort to any inca Is
to secure the ascendeucy. 1t behooves Us, there
FORE as its opponents, to labor, increasingly from
this time until the close OF the polls Ii the Dem
ocrats aud old line Wings friendly to the election
of Buchanan and Breckenridge adopt this couf e,
there can be no doubt as to the result.

"S;nce l am 80 early done for,
wonder what l was begun for"

10y A friend from Williamson gives US most
encouraging account of a democratic barbecue and
speaking at Smiths Springs in that county, on
Wednesday last. The crowd was large and the
enthusiasm strong and earnest.
The number of good speeches made are seldom
euuslled on such occasions. Our district elector,
G. G. PoINDExTER, Esq, was present and address
sed the audience in a speech that we are iuorm
ed, delighted his listeners. Mr.. PoINDExTER is one
of the sblest young speakers in the State and has
won golden opinions with the democracy where
ever he has been. We regret exceedingly that an
accident, some weeks since, disabled him from
canvassing this entire district, as he had purposed
to do.
Id. MYERS, Esq, of the county of Maury, an
old line wing, who will give his first democratic
vote on Tuesday, was present by invitation, and
spoke to the crowd with telling effect. Our nfor-
msnt, who has heard many Of the speeches of this
canvass, compliments Mr.. MYERS with having
made the best to which he has listened. Our per-
sopaI knowledge of Mr. MYERS at the bar satisfied
us that be would be able and interesting on the
stump. We only regret that he was not induced
to make list of appointments in various counties
of the State.
Wv. THOMPSON, of Msury, and R. W. MoGAvooK
of our city, spoke upon the occasion with much
success. Both of these gentlemen have made q
number of speeches in this canvass that have re-
fected much credit on themselves and been of
signal service to the cause. We expect a good
account from Williamson on Tuesday.

HON F. p. STANTON.

Til, gentleman delivered speech at Brooklyn,
New York, on Tuesday evening, of last week
The New York Daily Nea0s says that
"The Hon. F. P Stanton of Tennessee, enchain-
ed the attention of ttis audience for two hours
by one OF the most able, forcibe ard eloquent
speeches that has been delivered ia the State du.
ring the Presidential campaign.
HE showed up the hollow pretences of the
black republicans in their true light He showed
by conclusive evidence, that these "shriekers fer
freedom" through their representatives in Con-
gress, the first to oppose the practical opera
ton of the Missouri Compromise" and that they
had steadily and firmly adhered to this line of pol
icy from the date of the passage of this Compro-
mise in 1920 up to the very day on which it was
proposed by Stephen A. Douglas to repeal this
measure SO obnoxious to their political tastes
1t was then, and not till then they discovered
that the much reved Missouri Compromise was
a measure of peace and mercy, and was regarded
by both sections of the Copfederacy as o fnality
upon the slavery question.
We regret that the press Of other matters COM
pei US to defer the publication of these mastery
speech es until another day. For the present, we
content ourselves with a mere passing notice of

aFRoM MAINE no eEoReIA.n

No better evidence could be given of the "a.
tionshty of the Democratic party than that sve,
here in Tenuesseecsn and do adopt as our own, the
statement of the Eastern Times, published in Maine,
respecting the difference between the Democracy
and their Northern opponents, touching the admis-
Zion Of Kansas, Here it ia: s.sasssssz--.s-a
We wish the issue in regard to the admis. ion of
Ksnsss to be distinctly understood. The repubi-
can party would have the people believe that the
democratic party are in favor OF making Kansas
slave Stste The true difference between the po-
sition of the two parties on this question Is tbss
The Democratic party North and South, '0tH admit
her free or slave Just as majority Of her citizens
may decide Every one agrees 10 this principle.
Southern men, among whom we notice Hon. VIM
8. Preston, in his speech, which we publish to-
day. all agree to admit her as free State, IT the
majority SO vote.
But the republican party zsys, if yo1 wish to
come in free State, well and good; we welcome
you to our arms; but if on the other hand, you
wish 10 come in as slave State, yoa must stay
out of the Union. No matter what the msjority
of her people desire in regard to her domestic in
sttu;ions, they say 10 taeD, we know better than
you what is for your good, and you must do as
we wish They would impose upon them when
coming into the Union condition which is incom-
patbe with the dignity of q sovereign State, q
condition which has never yet been imposed upon
any previous State; condition which, however
much power they have over her when territory,
the Constitution gives no power TO impose when
about to become State.
All that is required by the Constitution is that
the government of the State to be admitted should
be OF republican form. They pirate about re-
storing the government to the principles Of Wash
ington and Jefferson. They never enuncisted the
principle of no more slave territory. They both
admitted into the Union States with slavery, and
they did so because the people Of those States so
desired to be admitted. They both left their SOL
emn warning against sectional parties, but We see
one now formed and claiming their sanction. We
should want no better arguments in support of
our course, than the words of the early Presidents

turned out to be great humbug, and as politi-
clan only fit to be laughed at His ridiculous opera

I have seen many of the politicians, and the best
spirit prevails. My present impression is that
tie democratic electoral ticket will prevail The
democratic party is fully aroused, and they are
doing thipgs in their old style. Tne local tickets
are in general well got up, and all appear to be
awake. Yesterday Henry Ward Beecher ad

KIN DEMONSTRATION.

1t is visa on the part of our know-nothing
friends to get up demonstration before the election,
AFTER IT, tn ey will have occasion only for mourn
ing. They have not carried State in the Union
since the nomination of Fillmore, and we do not
believe they have the slightest chance to carry one
on Tuesday next. 1t is wise, therefore, to have
their show in advance.
Looking at the late results, we think the show
to-day ray be regarded by democrats as funeral
rather than jubilee. Sam is dead; and the act
of burial, if performed to-day, would only be done
three days in advance of the time appointed by
the public. The procession to-day should contain
an efigy of Sam, with the well known lines, on
an infant who died young

Watch!

The know-nothings of this county,
having no hope of the election of FILL
MORE and despairing of success in the
State, have fallen back on Davidson
county, and want to give an increased
majority here, as some little consolation
in the terrible overthrow which they
know awaits them. The list of judges
of election, appointed by the Judge of
the County Court, gives a majority
against the democrats in every district of
the county, and in some districts, as we
are informed, not a single democrat is ap-
pointed! This never happened before,
in times of the highest political excite
ment. We are willing to hope that the
County Judge was imposed upon by 9TH
ers, and that he would not knowingly
commit so great an act of injustice
Still, it is a fact, and democrats have to
meet the injustice by extra vigilance
The ballot-box of the county is in the
exclusive possession of our adversaries,
That they intend to commit frauds, their
baseless humbug about "black carpet
bags" is conclusive proof. 1t is the "stop
thief" cry of those who are waiting to
rob democrats of their votes. Let every
ballot-box in the county be watched, and
every legal democratic vote which is re-
jected be recorded; for, if necessary, there
is way to correct frauds by purging the
polls after the election.
