The REASON OF 1.-THE opponents OF the dem.
ocratic party in Tennessee have been trying for
some days to ascertain the causes of their recent
defeat. Some speak of Donelson, others refer to
James @. Jones, and third class is ready to as
cribe it to some of their orators, and to the char
ac'er of the documents they employed in the can
vass. The true cause is to be found in none of
these, though each and ell may have contributed
to the result. The prime cause of the great and
ruilCu5 defeat Of our opponents is to be found in
the sounlness, consistency, and popularity of dem
ocratic principles when contrasted by the indepen-
dent voters OF tie country with the creed of the
know nothing party. With the creed our oppo-
nents now hold, they can never be successful, and
while the democratic party preserves its nstionali.

SHEEP.-Al farmers should keep sheep. How
convenient when remote from the city markets to
have always fresh lamb, boiled leg of mutton with
caper sauce) and mutton chops always at COM
msnd Then sheep keep down the briara Mr..
K. s. Fay, of Lynn, recently, at an agricultural
meeting in Boston, las reported in the N. E. Farm
cry, made the following interesting remarks:
"Sheep are CLEANERS of other stock, and will
help keep the cattle pastures in good condition by
being turned into them occasionally, to eat the
eosrser plants which have been left They will
enrich the land; there is no manure 50 fertizi ng
as that OF sheep, and it. does not so readily was te
by exposure as that Of other animals. Sheep NAV
be made exceedingly useful in helping to prepare
land Tor crop. A Germsn sgricuturlst has cal
culsted that the droppisgs from one thousa nd
sheep during single night would manure an acre
sufficiently By that rule farmer may deter.
mine how long TO keep any given number of sheep
on particular piece of land. Mr.. FAY said he
was accustomed TO fold bis sheep upon land which
he designed for corn ard other crops; ard in so
doing he shut them upon half an acre at time,
keeping them there by wire fence which was
easily moved from place to place. In this way
his land was well msnured without the labor of
shoveing and csrting.' These ideas are worth
reading by the farmer. We believe any farm will
bear certain number Of sheep, in proportion to
the other stock, not only without loss to the
amount of grazing which it will yield to the cattle
aud hofses, but to the increase of the same. Mr.
Fay, by his management makes the lambs and
manure pay for keeping the sheep, and the wool
is clear pr3fs."

The Louisville DenOcrattersely reviews the pre-

paragraph

The Louisville Democrat tersely reviews the pre-
sent purposes of know nothingism in the annexed
paragraph
"The factions having broken down in their great
struggle for spoils, have nothing now to do but to
deude their readers about the objects and purpo-
SEES and imaginary difficulties in the way of the
democratic party. They are shrewdly guessing at
causes of embarrassment and trouble between the
north and the south. They have assured their
readers that there are great differences of opinion
the subject of slavery, and they are still giving
out that something interesting is to grow out of
these differences. When these don't come they
will not be the least at a loss. They will swear
that one side or the other just sacrificed their opin-
ions for the sake of spois. They will not confess
that they told fasehood when they said such diff
ferences existed-not they; they will tell another
fasehood to hide the first. Thsy have given out
that the fire eaters intend to obtain pledges from
Buchanan or they will get some of the electorc to
vote against him. OF course when none of them
vote against him, they will not allow that they
lied; but they will swear that the fre.eaters had
gotten some extraordinary pledges. They have
told that the object of the democracy was to re-
vive the slave trade, to Involve the country in a
war by general system of hlibustering; and when
all these things are never even proposed, it will
not be admitted that they lied like the ID all the
while but that the democracy got alarmed at them,
and backed out from these schemes. So they will
go on starting one falsehood after another; each
succeeding one gigantic enough in its proportions
to hide its monstrous predecessors, huge as they
are. They have inaugurated scheme of sublime
mendacity, and will go on with Cneinvention after
another until some tottering fabric of mendscity
tnmoie5 upon its authors and buries them under
the long line OF false Creations and after ages will
point to the heap OF offensive rubbish, as warn
ing to all demagogues that are afflicted with de-

B- The Covington Journal tells the following,
which is doubtless the experience of many unfol
tunste fugitives:
A few months ago negro stole away from a
kind master in this city and went to Canada. The
other day the master received letter from the
runaway couched in the following language -
"For Gods sake, Master Henry, come and take
me home" This earnest appeal is pregnant with
meaning. The poor, deluded runaway, instead of
the privileges and enjoyments he anticipated in
state of "freedom," finds pinching want, misery
and degradation. No wonder he longs for the

The DEFEAT OF RICHARDsoE-Our readers will
doubtless be astonished to-day, when they com.
pare the official vote of Illinois, TO be found in this
issue OF the Courier. 1t viii be seen that while
Mr.. Buchsnsn carries that State by nearly ten
thousand majority Col. Richardson fails of an
election to the post of Governor At the same
time Col. r. receives more votes than Burbanor
and thus msnifests his popularity as EXTENDING
beyond and above the ticket upon which he was
nominated.
This fact renders his defeat the greater nrob,sro
snd the more difficult of solution But to those
who understand the posture Of public affairs, and
the manner in which the result in Illinois was con-
tested, there can be no feeling of surprise or as
constituent; Here is the issue easily and sat
isfactoriy accounted for by the editor Of the
Chicago Times:
RICHARDSON can go before the people of the
nstion and can point to the fact that he has OBJ
tanned more votes for Governor than were ever
cast for democrat in the State Of Illinois before.
He can point to the fact that be even leads Bu-
chansn and Breckenridge in the popular vote. He
was defeated, not by Bisse, bus by the know
nothing party, who preferred to vote for Roman
Catholic and thereby perjure themselves than to
vote for man who had done so much TO break
up their party and their organization. These men,
to defeat him, abandoned their own party, forgot
their own oatbs, and voted for q Romsn Catholic
in preference TO voting for William A. Richardson
Richardson may with pride excaim that lie pre-
fers defeat which is an acknowledgment of the
open enmity of know nothingIsm, than sn election
which would have required even sn implied ALI
snce with it.
This is characteristic and worthy of know-noth-
ingism. The members Of that party have the du-
bious honor of assisting a sectional party in the
Presidential canvass and they are sscertained TO
be everywhere the secret friends of the Northern
party, rs we have demonstrated TO their shame in
