MEssRs. EDIToRs-The cause of Fillmore,
Donelson and the Union, is blocking up" in
Mississippi A few months ago the friends of
the prosecutor of Henry Clay would not &C
knowledge the existence of possibility of the
defeat of their sectional candidate; but things
have changed, and they now see the hand
writing OF the we'll, which causes them to
tremble in ther-"6oots" They have raised
pitifnl cry to Americans, to rally to the stand
ard of Buck and save the Union! Yes, they
who prosecuted US as being vile 'assassins"-
coming upon them like ''thieves at night
"Murrel men" ATE now crying unto usin tones
of thunder-"Come to the help of Buck-tO
the help Of Buck against the mighty" The
excuse they give for this lamenatiOn lie, that
Fremont's prospects are Frightening, and Fill
more standing no chance, the only hope of the
Union, (relative to which, Vim. II. Polk says
to his satellites, "Be not deceived by the sy
rene song of the Union" is to drop the tried
and. found true Fillmore, and espouse the
cause of the untried Buck. But all! vain are
their wailings, branless are their cries. Know
nothings know enough to keep out of all such
scra es.
l tell you, gentlemen, Union stock is rising
here.
The Hon. Stephen Adams, U. 5. s., made
speech before the Fillmore and DonelsOn Club
of this place few days ago, and greatly en-
couraged the lovers of the Constitution and
the Union. He is host in any cause.
On yesterday, Vim. A. Shaw, Esq, Ameri<
can EIector for the I'd district, made stirring
speech for Fillmore, and was replied to by a
sag NIGHT named Orr, who was as incompetent
to the task as many had expected. Shaw is
acquiring deserved fame as debator and ora
tor.
Last night the Club was addressed again by
several gentlemen of ability, and accessions
were made to the organization. Let the ball
keep moving.
l close, Messrs. Editors, by expressing the
ardent hope that the iGes of November may
be made reverbersnt with the Joyful tidings
that Fillmore and Donelson are the victors of
of the patriots of the nation.
Yours, respectfully, WASHINGTON.

Fillmore Ticket "a, The North.

The Baltimore Patriot says:-The stale
tale promulgated by Democratic orators
and journals that there is no FILLMORE
Electoral ticket in more than three or four
Northern States is utterly void Of founda-
ton in truth. There is now a FILLMORE
Electoral ticket in every State in the
Union except South Carolina--and there
none exists only because Electors are elec-
ted by the Legislature. In New Hamp-
shire, last of all, a FILLMORE Electoral
ticket was made on Saturday last.

"Whe she worships the nation which she fsvors
for their very crimes, she curses The emmy Of that
nation even for their virtues. In every age she

June 8, 1874, Mr.. Buchanan presented memo

appropriate remarks, asking an amendment of our
naturalization laws so "a to require all Foreigners

The Northern Democracy.

While the Democratic party in the South arc
claiming to be the peculiar friends of Southern
rights, Southern interests, and Southern institutions
the Northern Democracy are claiming to be
better and more bitter Freesoiers than even
the Black Republicans. They oppose the
Black Republicans not because they are a
Freesoil party, bat because they are not as
good AboltoLists as the Democracy. The fol-
Democrats of Ohio for two Democratic meetings
The original posters are now in our possession.
Read them, men Of the South, and then say il the
Democratic party in the North is not more ultra in
in its Abohtionsm than the blacklist of the Black
Republicans:

The Nan of the Psopie.

frieEd, who was an eyewitness OF the folio wing
incident says the Rfeigh' Register, narrated it to
us as illustration of genuine love for humanity.
The principal actor in the scene doubtless never
expected that it would have attracted attention,
or have been made the subject of a newspaper
paragraph; tut it is so characteristics of true
nobleness, that we produce it in the words of the
narrator:
'In the year Of 1881, CHANGED to be one of
party who were taking an evening ride in the
suburbs Of the City OF Washington. On nearing
one of the cemeteries, the attention Of one
of our party was arrested by female, with three
small children seated near the closed gate.
She seemed deeply afflicted, and her miserable
apparel and that Of the little ones, told tale OF
suffering which was truly distressing.
We had gone bnt a short distance when the per
son. whose attention had been arrested BY them, or
dered the driver to turn, and drive to the place
where they we're seated.
Descending from the carriage, he approached
the woman aud inquired the cause of her sorrow.
In plain aud simple style she told her story
thus:
Two years before, her husband left her home TO
find a better one in America. He had worked
very hard, and have saved money enough to send
for his family, and had small home prepared to
| receive them.
| That day had arrived, but, alas not to meet
| the glad husband and father; for, two days pre-
| viOus he had fallen from a staging, where be was
at work, and now, said she, pointing to the gate,
| he is there
I've come out with nv little ones to see the
! grave but it's too late. The gate is shut and we
must come back tomorrow. The poor woman was
quite overcome, and the children shrieked aloud at
| beholding their mothers grief.
VIII you take seat and ride home said the
| gentleman. o thank yOu thank you, sir but
could not think of it, He insisted; and taking one
OF the fororn little creatures in his arms, lie placed
| il inside the carriage. The mother and remaining
| two children followed. Our friends took a seat be
SHE the driver and OF dered him 10 drive the
man had directed. The little ones soon dried their
tears and entertained US by their innocent pratte,
the youngest one often asking if we We we're going
to take him to his father.
A half hours drive brought US in front OF poor
little hovel, which the woman said would be home,
| If Jenny was there.
Assisting the party out, our hero conducted them
to the door; then drawing forth his card be asked
the womans name. bridget Murphy" said she
Writing it on the blank side, he handed it TO her
with bank bill saying, when you need more, send
that card to me-" then, bidding her kind good
night, he took his seat, aud We rode in silence to
our respective lodgings.
That man was Willard Fillmore, the President Of
the United States"

Hon Iere. Clemens.

Among the distinguished strangers in
our city for the past few days, no one has
attracted more attention than this gentle
man. His speech, the first one delivered
to the convention, was an eloquent and
mastery expose of the reasons which should
operate upon every patriot, to sustain, in
this emergency, the American party and
its candidates. Mr.. Clemens is an honest
statesman, who had the manliness, in the
language of Haskell, "to divest himself Of
the ragged robes of an unsouud faith" and
adopt one better calculated for the neces-
sites Of the times He held high position
among the counsellors of the Democratic
party, and connection with the American
party is alike honorable to both. We are
glad to state that he will make several
speeches in Tennessee before he returns to
Alabama.

The Connecticut Election.


The late election in Connecticut was for
assessors of votes and inspectors Of election
returns. There were two tickets in the field,
one, the Black Republican, the other, fu
sion of the Fillmore and Buchanan men,
This fact we learn through private sources,
and through our late Eastern exchanges.
1t has been announced in this section as a
triumph of the Buchanan democracy over
all other tickets, and we make this state
ment to correct the error. The telegraphic
dispatches designated the fusion by the title
of the democratic ticket, and perhaps they
are rightfulIy responsible for the mistake
The result shows that a combination of
the Fillmore and Buchanan Electoral tick
ct, would have fair prospect Of defeating
Fremont in that State, and in connection
with the developments of the next few
days may indicate the propriety of such a
course. five did not have positive assurance
that the Buchanan party in Pennsylvania
were corrupting the baIlOt-box, to an eX-
tent hitherto unprecedented, aud preparing
to perpetrate stupendous frauds, we might
be prepared to say that their success in
that State would justify fusion of the Fill
more and Buchanan forces on the latter,
wherever it was possible by such means to
defeat Fremont. But certain as we are
that if the Buchanan party carry the State
election in Pennsylvania, it will be by a
course which deserves the severest repre-
hension, and will be no evidence of Buch-
anan's true and rightful strength, we will
not say so. On the other hand, however,
his defeat, in spite of these diScreditable
efforts on his behalf, will give incontestable
evidence of his weakness, and should induce
his friends everywhere, North and South,
to desert him, and concentrate npon Fill
more against Fremont.

Supreme Court It KnOxviIIe-Import
Adjudication.

We are informed by the Attorney Gen
eral of the State, that the Supreme Court,
during its recent session at Knoxville, de-
clared the act of the last session of the
Legislature, entitled can act to authorize
the formation of Companies, and regulate
private and local affairs and retrench the
expenses Of legislation" which gives to the
Circuit Courts the power to incorporate
Insurance Companies, &c, to be unconsti-
tutlonal and void; the legislature having
no power to delegate the authority to grant
charters of incorporation. The Court also
sustained the action of the last legislature
in repeating the charters of the Central
and Miners and Manufacturers Banks; but
construe the law so as to allow said Banks
as corporations, three years from the time
of the repeal to sue for and recover their
debts and to wind up their business.
