INDIANA

Mr.. Willard, the governor elect of Indiana, sta
ted in speech in Louisville, since the election,
that one of every ten votes he received was given
by Fillmore man. He is therefore indebted to
Fillmore men for his election Patriot
We doubt if there are so many Fillmore men in
Indiana as one out of every ten votes Willard got
therefore we do not believe it. Gov. Willard il
reported by the Democrat as having said, that one
ont of every ten Fillmore men voted for him not.
withsanding the advice of the Louisville Journal
that they should vote for the black republican Nor
ton. This is more likely.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1856-10-28
LET 1T BE REMEMBERED.

That the Southern man who votes for Fillmore
identifies himself with party that recently at
tempted by fusion in Indiana and Pennsylvania
to send Black Republicans to Congress.
That they are Identifying themselves with a
party whose open efforts now are, by uniting on
joint ticket, to elect Fremont if they cannot elect
Fillmore.
Remembering these things, let men pause be-
fore they take step that will eternay damn them.

CHEATHAM COUNTY

The last Legislature es tab lished a new county,
called "Cheathsm," from fra ctions of the counties
of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery, and Dick.
con. 1t has been supposed that the fractions COM
posing the new county would vote with the old
counties in all elections exception county officers,
until the spporionment ofrepresentation, in 1868.
But the lawyers say otherwise, and that the new
county will vote by herself in this Presidential
election. 1t is important that this fact should be
known. The fraction taken from Davidson was
the strongest democratic region of the county
Our friends must see to it that they do not lose
their votes.
The effect of the change on the vote of David
son county will be about as follows:
The fraction taken from Davidson to form the
new county of Cheatham is composed of the fol.
lowing districts and parts of Districts Half of the
18th and oath districts, and all of the 18th, 10th,
18th, and 25th districts. The aggregate vote OF
the four districts, all of which go into Chestham
county, in the last election, was, for Johnson 207;
for Gentry, l63. The two districts, half of each
of which are cut off for the new county, gave l01
votes for johnson and lOl also for Gentry. Say,
For johnson, in four districts 2O7
Half of two other districts, so
Democratic votes taken of, 257
For Gentry in four districts, l63
Half of two other districts, 50-213
A
We thus lose forty: four from this county, but
the voters thus cut off from this county, must be
sure to let their votes count in Chatham.

Walker, and give him military command, as we
had to do the same by Gen. Shields. Further,
Nicaragua had as much right to send an Amer
ican by birth as Minister to this country, as we
have to send man of foreign birth to represent
us at the court of Spain, Italy, or Holland. He
believed that we ought to enforce our neutrality
laws, but not to go one hairs breadth beyond
the line of strict duty.
Mr.. Butler thought we ought to be careful
and not involve ourselves in war with any ma
ton through the acts of intermeddling adven-
turers.
Mr.. Weller withdrew the resolution.
Mr.. Toombs made speech in opposition to
the action of the Naval Board, contending that
the law had not been properly executed, and
that the proceedings under it were all null and
void.
The Senate, after further proceedings, ad-
iourned.
The House passed the Indian appropriation
bill the bill revising the act of 1853, relative to
suspended entries of public lands; and the act
of 1916, concerning suspended pre-emption land
claims.
On motion of Mr.. Phelps, the petition of the
members ofthe Pittsburg bar, against the official
conduct of Judge Irwin, was referred to the Ju.
dietary Committee.
The Senates amendments to the bill in add
ton to the bounty land act of March 3d. 1855,
were amended by the House, and must therefore
be again acted upon by the Senate.
The House went into a Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, and took
up the consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Maxwell, of Florida, reviewed the Slavery
question, and denied that the South had infring-
ed in any manner the constitutional rights of
the North. He denied that the Southern peo-
pie claimed the right to legislate Slavery into
the Territories, or aimed at such q result. All
they asked was common equality in the enjoy
ment of a common property In the Territories,
and to leave the people free to regulate their af
fairs in their own way. Congress, in his view had
no power whatever over the subject, and the
only way to quiet agitation was to refrain from
restrictions Of all kinds to acquiesce in the
principles of the Kansas n ebraska act, and &C.
cord equal rights to all portions of the Union.
Mr.. Perry, of Maine, followed in an exposition
of the doctrines of the fathers Of the Republican
party, which he claimed to be those of the old
Republican party. He cited authorities to show
the power and the duty of Congress toprevent Sla-
very extension into territory now Free and stated
the determination of his party to make Kansas a
free State and to resist the further extension of
Slavery. He reviewed the incidents connected
with the last Slavery.agitation, brought on by
the violation of time-honored compact, and
referred to the disasters which the Democratic
party had sustained in consequence of that agi,
tation. The Committee then reported the bill
to the House.
