FRANCE AND RUSSIA TIE CoMMoH
ENEMY OF ENGLAND.--Kossuth, il
in his last letter to the New York
Times, states that France ard Russi6
are in collision, and that England is
their dupe. In view Of this theory.
be tells the following story: After
the February Revolution Of IS4S,
General Kisselef, having made him.
self conspicuous by very marked
cordiality towards the Provisional
Republican Government, one of the
French ministers, in acknowledging
that cordiality, remarked to him
that be does the more value it the
more unexpected it is. "Que voaley
vons," answered Kissoleff; "France
and Russia have every reason to be
good friends, independently Of the
form of their governments; they have
a common enemy-England." This
is authentic; | have it from the min

To tie Clerk Of tho County Cour-C County:
SIR-The act of the General As
sembly Of Tennessee, passed on the
28th day of February, 1856, entitled
can Act to amend the Revenue Laws
of this State, and to prove for prop
er Assei sment" contains within itself
no provision SIS to the time when it
is to take effect, and being a general
law, consequently comes under the
operation of the Act Of 1847, which
requires general laws (unless ether
wise provided therein) to take effect
forty days from and after the pass
age thereof. The first election of
Assessor, under the provisions Of said
Act would, therefore, have to take
place after the lapse of the fourth
day Of the approaching April term
of the County Court in order to be
valid. Therefore, to give immediate
effect to said Act, you are hereby in
structed to bring this subject to the
notice of the Worshipful County
Court your County on the first day of
its term in April next, that said Court
may adjourn its session from day to
day, until said Assessor can be legally
chosen as aforesaid.
Respectfully, yours,
JAS. G. LUTTRELL,

The Democratic Party.


In the language Of cotemporary
we say, remember that the demo-
cratic party rests it's hopes of success
now as, ever upon the intelligence
and patriotism Of the whole people
of America. No party ever has or
ever can maintain o permanent ascsn-
dency On any other ground. AS
the people have the power in their
own hands, and are rulers, they will
labor for their own good, and it is
evident that any party, to maintain
permanent ascendency in the country
must labor for the welfare of the
Union. Thus we find that the DEM
mocratio party, having the interests
Of the whole country at heart, have a.
lone maintained permanent aseen-
dancy, and withstood the testof time.
While the democratic party has
achieved seven Presidential victories,
the wings have achieved two, ane
while the former were triumphs of
democratic principles, the latter we're
simply the gratitude Of the people
TO men who had fought hard earned
battles. No intelligent whig will
presume to say that the success of
Harrison in 1910, or Taylor in 1S4S,
was the triumph of whig principles.
Had not Gen. Harrison fought tie
battle of Tippecanoe, or Gen Taylor
won the laurels of the battlefield,
neither Of them would ever have been
elected to the Chief Magis-
tracy Of the Union.
AS the democratic party has tri-
umphed in the past, SO will it in the
future. And when we see the democrat
icparty spoken ofas thing of the past
whenit is asserted, as it continually
is by spawned and wind broken politi.
cians-.men who have always bsenin
office-that "old party lines are pblit.
Grated" we love to call to mind its
glorious triumph in the past, and
contemplating that past, rely upon
a promising future. As the people
have ever stood by the democratic par
ty,-no other party can hope for perma-
nent success. 1t may, and doubtless
will, meet with occasional reyerses; but
defeat is at times necessary to teach
US the value ola victory, and whatever
those reverses may be, come when
they may, while the democratic party
adheres to its principles ii will go
on increasing in strength and pros
parity.

lana having been received by "ac-
clamation,' onr neighbor thinks that
I"Americanism sets. its face against
the admixture Of religious questions
with political questions" The Bull.
letin then proceeds to remark as fol-
lows upon this action:
With these three surgical opera
tians performed upon it, what's there
left of "Amsricanism," as distinc-
tive party organization? Absolutely
nothing. Take away the oaths, pass
words and secrecy, by which only
those who "knew Sam'' were entitled
to be called "Amerioans;" take away
the ban laid upon the foreigner"
andjudga of his loyalty as you judge
the loyalty of other 'citizens;' and
get over the fright about the
Pope's subverting the liberties of the
country through the agency Of the
Catholic mode of worship; and there
| is no substantial line Of separation
between @Americanism" and de
mocraey," or Whigism. In short, if
the information we now have is COR
rect, the managers Of the Philadel-
phia Convention have completely ig-
nored the "old issue" of eight months
ago, and have yet to make up issues
even with the Democratic Party;
while there is scarcely rail left Of
the fence with which "Americanism"
had hedged itself in from contact
with Old Line Whigism. They bave
IMtched on to Mr.. Fillmore, to be lift
ed up rather than have rugged le-
yer by which he may be elevated.
The last sentence is the hardest
hit yet upon the nomination. Mr..
Fillmore is justly regarded as necas-
sarily carrying an immense weight
upon his shoulders, when asking pop.
ular suffrage under such auspices,
and with Donelson too on his back,
the young Hickory" of Tennessee,
and poor stick at that. We fear
the poor man will not get half around
the track before he breaks down VA
der these extraordinary weights.
The Bulletin after admonishing
the Old Line Wings that they may
have to bear q most solemn and i'm.
portant responsibility in so casting
the balance ofpower in their hands
as to defeat the black republicans,
concludes with the following patriot
ic exhortatiOn:
Were there no other antagonist in
the field but the candidate Of the
Democratic party, We imagine the
Old Line Wings Of the South would
spontaneously hail the nomination Of
Mr.. Fillmore, and with one accord
rally to his support. Butapart from
the uncertainty of his accepting a
nomination so made; apart from the
indications of northern DETECTION in
the very party which nominated
him; there are higher considerations
than mere party success in this CON.
DEMONSTRATIONS which pertain
to the salvation of the South and the
the integrity Of the Union. They
ought to reflect, reason together, OBJ
serve closely the signs of the times,
consult together, and then take their
stand wherever, in their common
Judgment, the safety of the South
and the integrity Of the Union can
| be best subseryed.

From the Nashville Banner.
THE REVENUELAW,

we publish To-day perhaps the
most important of all the Acts pass
ed at the late session of the Legisls-
lature of this State, the Act, namely,
to amend the revenue laws Of this
State and to provide for a proper as
sessment of the taxable property with
il it. Under its provisions, yearly
tax of ten cts. is to be levied on every
hundred dollars worth of all real and
personal estate, with the inconsid-
cradle exceptions therein specified.
Merchants, wholesale and retail, on
taking out the required license, are to
pay half a cent in the dollar, on the
invoice cost at the place where pur-
chased, of all their goods, except such
articles as may be sold without license;
which articles are salt, sugar, coffee,
spun cotton, garden seed, iron, and
articles Manufactured in this State; bat
these articles are not exempt for tax
alton in the hands Of any person
who sets himself up as merchant
or grocer"
Pedlars are required to take out
license and pay specified sum oil
sums therefor.
A specified tax is levied on numer.
Gus privileges" which will be found
enumerated in the 7th section Of the
Act.
A yearly poll tax of % cents is
to be assessed on every white male
inhabitant of the State (not spe cially
exempt from taxation) between the
age of twenty-one and fifty years.
A Tax Assessor for each county is
to be appointed by the County Court
thereof, who shall hold his Office two
years, and whose sworn duty is made
to swell and truly, without partiality
favor or prejudice, make a correct
assessment" of all the taxable prop
erty in the county-the real money
value of all property taxed in the
Act to be the sum at which the Asses
sor would value such property in the
payment of just d-bt, in cash, due
from a solvent debtor.
Asst will be Of the highest impor-
tence to the State generally, and to
each county separately, that the AS
SCISSOR, shall be man of great pr obitys
intelligence and business capacity, it
is to be hoped that the County Courts
in selecting these officers, will look
alone to qualification, and that they
will, by allowing rate of compensa-
ton fully commensurate with the re-
sponsible and onerous service to be
performed, afford sufficient induce
ments to persons that are every way
qualified, to accept the Office.
We are gladtosee thatwith a view to
obtain annually, as near as may be, a
correct, estimate of the agricultural
wealth Of the State, it is made the
duty of the Assessor of each county
in addition to the usual returns, to
make out table showing the whole
Of slaves owned by each
person in the county, and the number
Of horses and mules, cattle, sheep and
swine, and the number Of bales of
cotton, hogsheads of tobacco and
bushels of wheat and corn raised the
