An Issue Accepted.


The Union and American, encouraged by
the majority given to Mr.. Buchanan in the
late election, proposes TO redistrict the
State. 1t is not satisfied with the fact that
according to its own showing the Demo.
cratic party, with the aid of wings have
carried a majority of the Senatorial, Rep
resentative, and Congressional districts.
1t desires so TO re-arrange the districts as
to give its party control Of the State for all
future time. On behalf Of the opposition
we accept the issue thus rendered, aud
in the canvass next summer, shall hold the
Union and Aperican TO it. We shall see
whether the Americans and Wings Of this
State are prepared to manacle themselves
and submit to be ostracised by the De.
mocracy as their compatriots of Virginia
have been ostracised.
The present apportionment laws were
enacted by Wing Legislature, at q time
when the politics of the State were Wing,
and the districts were arranged with a view
to give expression to that Wing sentiment
The fact that the Democracy have it in
their power to elect majority of the men,
bers Of Congress and the Legislature is
high evidence of the liberality and business
of those laws, and affords striking con-
trast with the expressions of the Demoera-
cy of Virginia and other States which
were gerrymandered some years ago for the
purpose of crushing out all opposition.
In the recent election many Wings, ap-
prehensive of the success Of Fremont, IN
less the South voted as a unit for Buchan-
an, acted with the Democracy, and thus
helped to swell the majority against Fill
more to upwards of seven thousand. We
doubt whether they are willing for their
votes to be made the instrument of chas-
tisement to themselves and their friends,
and we shall expect them not merely to
protest against the prescription which is
proposed, but to cooperate with the Ameri-
can Party in the prevention Of the success
of the schemes of the would-be prosecutors.
1t was the boast of the Union and Ameri-
can that the result of the Presidential cleo
ton would FIX Tennessee in the Democra-
tic family as firmly as Mississippi" but it
would seem that something is yet necessa-
~ to the consummation of that object
and that is the redistricting Of the State
in contravention of precedent and custom.
"There's many a slip between the cup and
the lip" this truth our contemporary is
bound to realize, if it dare next summer
attempt to carry its proposition.
