A new Heresy.

1t has been but short time since Judge
Pavatt declared Squatter Sovereignty, the
true democratic doctrine We thought
this was bad enough; but j. L. Harris, ESQ.,,
a democratic sub-elector for Shelby county,
out Herods Herod. A correspondent of
the Eagle e. Enquirer giving an account of
his speech at Nashoba Springs, says
You need not be surprised when l tell you that
Mr.. Harris, the Democrat, positively asserted over
and over again that Congress possessed no power
20 prescribe the qualification Of voters in the case
Of foreigners anybody else. He said that foreign
ers had right to vote as soon they arrived 10
Territory, and Congress had no power over the sub
Ject. Mir. Harris Is a lawyer, and ought to have
known that the Jurisdiction over Territories belongs
to Congress alone, as TO who shall vote in them,
aud all parties concede this. Even the Kansas
Nebraska bill comedies this position, and did actual
ly PRESCRIBE that foreigners might vote by decar.
ing their intention TO become citizens. This monS
strous doctrine of Mr.. Harris grew out of an at
tempt 10 conform himself to what he iInag ined was
Buchanan's position on Sguatter Sovereignty.
IL this doctrine be true, then our Territories do
not belong to the United States any more than TO
Europe. II all the world can vote in the Terrtor-
les without being naturalized and cannot be sop
3ed then and in that case whoever gets there first
will be lords of the SOIL no matt from what coun-
uy they come You see, srs, that if the Demo"
cratic party is not destroy ed it will des
troy country The present rage OF rampant, wild
Democracy knows no bounds in the Constitution,
nor anywhere el,e.
This thing of Congress having no right to pres
scribe the qualification of in the Territories
is new branch or scion grated into the Squatter
Sovereignty tree.

American Papers Crowded out.

A friend writing to US from Huntingdon, under
date of the LIST Of August makes the following
complaint. If our democratic brethren are to have
exclusive possession of the mails, whenever they
have documents to distribute, we wish to know it,
and also to know by what authority such privileges
are granted to them
DEAR SIR:-About the first Of July the Ameri
can papers from Nashville, for two consecutive
mails, failed to reach US at this place, at which
times the mail was crowded with copies of the ad-
dress of A. V. Brown to the Democratic Associa-
ton at Nashville. We don't know that the Amer
lean papers were crowded out Of the mail to make
room for Democratic documents, but it looked sus-
picious. l believe, however, but one Of the mails
brought copies of the address of Gov Brown.
" hat the other brought do not know.
This morning we had another failure. We re-
ceived no American papers at this Office except
the Gazette, and upon inquiry learned that large
number of documents entitled Facts for the PEG.
pie" Buchanan and Fillmore on the Slavery
Question" containing sixteen pages printed at the
Union and American office, and brought here by
the mail for gratutous distribution, ] suppose
to the exclusion of American papers. We would
like TO know the truth. Yours, &c.

The Question Evaded and Repeats

The Question EVaded and Repeated.
The leader in the Union and American of
Sunday is Characteristic. Intended as an
answer to simple question briefly put, a
column of space is occupied with bare
allusion to the question in hand. In lieu
of an answer we are furnished with quota
tons made from the National Republican of
thirty years ago, and what Maj. Donelson
said of Mr.. Fillmore five or six years ago
These very pertinent matters are interspers-
ed with others equally so, introduced to
complete the dodge Taken in connection
with the bubble about name in the first
paragraph, the whole is evidence of the
reluctance which it feels to answer, fairly
and manfully, the question.
When we wrote Union and american in
our question, we referred to the paper
which for twenty or twenty-five years has
been recognized as the leading democratic
journal in this city, for much the greater
portion of the while entitled UNION, but
for the past few years called UNION AND
AMERICAN. The bubble which it has avail
ed itself of, occurred to our mind when
writing the article, but on a second thought
we could not believe that our neighbOrs
would feel themselves reduced to the neces-
sity of using it. We were mistaken, and
the fact that they have done so, shows that
''the CALLED jade winceS."
The present Union and american is the
direct and only legitimate successor of the
Union, which in times gone, and while I'M
der the editorship Of Maj. Z. G. Eastman,
has so remorselessly reviled the great lights,
of the Wing party, Clay, Webster and
others.This gentleman, the present senior
editor of the Union and american, has been
connected with the democratic press of Ten
nesses for fifteen or sixteen years, and while
at Knoxville in 1874, We'd with the Union
of this city in denunciations of Mr. Clay's
course In the matter of the celebrated
Bargain and Intrigue" BY an eXami-
nation Of the question which we put to it
on Friday, it will be seen that it was d.
rected to the present conductors" of the
Union and american, and we now ask Maj
Eastman and his associate if they believe
the charge of corruption against MesSrs.
Adams and Clay? Let us have plain,
brief answer. Do not offer us another
column of such ridiculous stuff as that of
Sunday. Two or three lines will be suffi-
cient.
