FIGHT BETWEEN CANDIDATES FOR GovERNoR.-A
very pretty fight off at Fayetteville Tenn on
Saturday week between Cen Ger. |. 6. HarrisS and
Col. Robert Hatton candidates for the GOvernorsh!p
of that State the former repre- entng the Democrat
c and the latter The Know. Nerhing party Col Hat,
ton was speaking, and the statement Of he friends
of both parties to whom the matter was referred for
adjustment, says:
The friends of Col. Hatton understood him to have
decared g that the doctrine that the alien, tie IN.
haturoHzed from the old world, who has no
claims upon our country, no rights here, shall come
to country and rule AMI g"vern it, is nouity
that smells TO heaven" An6 that when Gen. Harris
inquired whether be intended 10 apply such language
10 him. after short colIoquy, he repeated nearly The
SAM declaration. that the doctrine infamous,
and " that those who advocated it, advocated doc
trne that is Infamous ard smells 10 heaven
The frie DDS of Gen. Harris understood Col. Hatton
as assuming that Gen. Harris favored the policy of
allowing unnaturaliZed foreigners to vote in Iennes-
for members of Congress, &c, and that this policy
he denounced AS " infamous, that it rank and
smeled 10 heaven" &c.
Gen Harris then asked Col. Hatton if he intended
TO apply the term sc Infamous" to him. His answer
was, " Do you expect 10 intimidate me by coming
forward and asking this question g: General Harris
answered, BY no means; DO not wish to intimi
date any gentleman but | have RICH. to know
whether you apply the term infamous 10 me or not. "
To which Col. Hatton responded, Then it is an ex-
PLANTATION that you want" TO which Gen Harris
replied, That is all that want. only desire to
know whether you intended to apply that term to
me-" 10 which Colontl Hatton replied, "FeIlow-
citizens, repeat that the policy is Infamous rank
and smells TO heaven, and those who advocate it are
- AT this point Gen. Harris struck him.
This is all the statement declares, fer as the
facts concerned, but from the published accounts
the newspapers, ii seems that Gen Harrss knocked
his opponent off the Stage, and brief scufa ensued
between them, when they were separated without any
serious injury. COL Hatlon then went again upon
the stand and resumed his Speech but made no alu-
sion whatever to the difficulty
The friends of the parties from whose " statement
extract is above, satisfied that it resulted
from mutual misunderstanding between the parties
that each acted upon misconcepton of the language
and intention of the other, and that therefore, both
have occasion TO regret the unpleasant alteration
took place. The difficulty therefore adjusted,
and the two candidates spoke together at w ncheser
on the following Monday.

OLD PAPER.-A friend handed US this morning
something Of curiosity in the shape of old paper
called The Columbian Herald, or the Independent;
Courier of North American dated at Charleston, S.
c., Sept. 28th, 1870. We have placed by the side
of the Courier of to-day and the contrast is some
thing remarkable. Our old friend has has head Or

The price of subscription for the " Columbian Her.

The old paper has four naeAs Of throo columns
each, the pages being about largo as fair sized

thing to admire, and the lateness of the news is
something also There are London dates to he 9Th

and Philadelphia to the 18th September the latter

The whole thing is quite comfortably arranged,
without trouble unnecessary fretting of the brain
There is not a single line of editorial or single item

few and d;ngy columns, there is experienced a
strange feeling. Seventeen hundred and ninety was

o. Santa Anna seems to choose the precise mo-
ment OF Comonfort's embarrassment with Spain to
make his move towards a revolution in Mexico and
his own return 10 power.
The changes of political adventurer, or " soldier
of fortune,' are somewhat marvellous. Over thirty
years ago the exiled dictator of Mexico lost leg in
fighting CALAMITY against the Spanish dominion in
his native land In the Mexican of indepen-
dence he won all the aurels be has ever had.
Now in the decline of his life, when the wild STIR
rings of ambition ought to be subdued, we find him
conspiring against the government OF the Mexican
Republic, and this, too in conf junction with Spaln
his old antagt mist. That he is in correspondence
with Spanish officials there is doubt-that he will
land in Mexico, if be lands at all, from ON board
Spanish vessel, that Spanish forces will assist him
| in his designs, is equally beyond question. There
may be doubt whether Spain is so foolish as to
dream that even with the assistance OF Santa Anna
and his parizans, she could recover her ascen-
dency in Mexico. Spain is going back, shrinking IN
and not expanding, and she is aware OF the tact-
Still there are not wanting those who speak OF
scheme for the ret Establishment of monarchlcal or
qausi monarchica government in that country under
Spanish auspices.
Spain knows we'll enough that TO this-that is to a
European proectorate n the forcible re-establish-
meat of European political systems in Mexico, the
United States would not consent, and she is already
too much scared about Cuba to give Uncle Sam
any further valid excuse to upon that island.
What is to become of Mexico is question that
no man can answer satisfactorily. 1t might find
customer in the United States provided the country
could be got without the people, but the latter remain
as an encuubrance and cannot easily be killed of
otherwise got rid Of.
The real difficulty lies in the difference of race
I he United States government is government OF
| white men the nation is a nation OF white men
| Mexico is not. Before the difference of race, all
minor distinctions sink into utter ins gnifcace. The
poorest qrhte man may become rich o. his children
may Nay, the son OF the poorest emigrant from Ed
rope may fill the Presidential chair, as in The of
General Jackson, but neither the Indian and the Negro
nor their descendants ever arise to the SdtaS OF
the dominant race Where the distinction is sought
to lie abFogaed and the white place the colored
races upon an equality with themselves the process
is one Of evelling downwards, not upwards, and The
average reached is that of the lowest not of the
highest
Thus, then, although we might s7fey acquire, as
we have acquired, comparatively waste, or unInhab.
tied regions from Mexico, the heart and center of the
nation the seats of population beyond our powers
of deglutition and Digestion We could not hold the
people who citizens, in seville condition
we could not make them citizens. The Genital pro-
vnees of Mexico are thckly inhabited, and the PEG.
pie could not be got rid Of What will be done with
them ? That is the question.

tine past, young girl who gives her name as
Miss Doyle, aud who, we believe, resides in
Centre Wheeling, has been obtaining goods from
several Of our merchants under false pretencrs
She has been in the l,nbit OF purchasing goods
and ordering them to be charged To one Of our
prominent citizens. One day last week, She
bought pair Of fine shoes from tic establish
mont Of \. 4. Harris, Main street. and ,hortiy
afterwards PROCEEDED to the store Of John How
ell and purchased second pair, informing the
latter that she Was the daughter Of Mr. b., a
responsible citizen. There happened to be
gentleman in the store at the time, whose ac-
quaintance with the family Of Mr.. b., lead him
10 suspicion that the young lady was practising
an imposition, and he made known his doubts
to the proprietor. AS the girl had just quilted
the store, Size was followed and traced to her
residence in Centre Wheeling when her follow
ers returned without entering the mouse, think
ing the girl might be, by bare possibility, ex.
acliy what she represented herself BntaIIDthei

her with sailing under false colors" She de-

anywhere else, without paying Tor them. Tue
clerk was satisfied of tue girls identity, but
owing to her cxtreme yout!t--about seventeen

tices rather titan prosecute her.
