Now that the election is over, and no fur
Their party capital can be made out OF the cry
that Kansas will aud must be slave State,
we find the Southern Democracy backing
down, and admitting that it is obliged to be
free State. Such was the declaration day or
two ago of Mr. Stephens ct Georgia, one Of
the most distinguished and Jealous supporters
of Buchanan IN the recent canvass. BE pro-
claimed abroad, that there was no earthly
probability OF kansas becoming sLage State,
because, as he said, 'the laws of climate, pros
duction, and population would Prevent itm
And thus after all the excitement and agita-
ton of the last three years, the Democracy of
the South mean TO surrender Kansas to the
Free Sellers: The poor South has been again
deluded-huinbugged- swindled There is now
no help for her-she has lost Kansas, and is
compensated for il by the election of Squat
ter Sovereignty Pre- Richmond Whig.
Z. S. SENATOR FROM PENNsYLvANIA-We
have received by telegraph information of the
election of Simon Cameron as U.s. Senator
from Pennsylvania. He was elected by ma
jority of nine votes over Forney, the regular
Democratic candidate The Pennsylvania,
Forney's paper, has poured out unmeasnred =.
buse on Cameron, bat, if all t has said of him
"CiC "a NC justly uSs6Ib6u. U6 NCuIu SUN
be less infamous than Forney himself There
is Democratic majority of two on joint balr
lot in the Pennsylvania Legislature, and the
Democracy are crying out that Cameron's cleo
ton was secured by the bribery Of Democratic
members. Il is certain that Cameron could
not have been elected without the votes of
portion of the Democratic members. 1t is not
improbable that there have been bribery and
corruption in regard to this election 1t is a
natural consequence of the wholesale bribery
and corruption and outrageous frauds practic-
ed by tie Democracy in the Pennsylvania
State election and the subsequent Presiden-
tial election in that State. The Investigations
that have been made show beyond controver>
sy that the most unparalleled frauds were
practiced by the Democracy there, and they
could expect nothing else than that the cor
rupt men thus elected would betrsy them for
bride at the very first opportunity. The plot
thickens. The treachery practiced upon the
people has recoiled upon the head of the chief
fraud director of the Pennsylvania Democrs-
cy. The rogues have fallen out among them,
selves, and we may soon look for some rich
developments of Democratic rascality. The
opposition may look very complacently at this
domestic quarrel; the bribery and corruption
are all within the bosom of the Democracy

1t would, perhaps, be best to await their ac-
ton before coming TO any conclusion on the
subject; but feel justified in saying that the
prevailing impression here is, that Mr.. Paine
was indscreet in making the revelation he
did, and that he greatly exaggerated the cir
cumstances. The implicated is under
stool to be Hon. Francis S. Edwards of the
Chatauque District, New York, an ex-Judge
and man believed to be above and beyond
any such conduct.
Even while Mr. Paine was making bis con-
fession, Judge Edwards remarked to members
near him, that he supposed be was the person
Mr.. Paine was referring to, and that he evil
IDENTIFY misunderstood and was misrepresenting
a conversation that had passed between them
respecting the Minnesota Land bill have en-
tire confidence in Mr.. Paines integrity and
high sense of honor, but must be allowed to
question his statement that Judge Edwards
made the direct proposition to him in the mans
ner and form alleged.

From the Tennessee Farmer and Mechanic.
Tennessee Spring Fair.

Tx the present we give the list of Premiums,
and regulations of the Fair TO be held near this City
commencing May 9TH, 1857.
1t is to be held By the Davidson County Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Association, in conjunction with
all County Agricultural Societies. Mechanics AssOcia-
lions, and Live Stock Companies of the State.
Ample arrangements are being made by the projec-
tors of the Exhibition to have fine display of the
Stock of the country; and they invite general at
tendance from Stock breeders and manufacturers OF
Machinery, from all parts of the Union. Who will
no doubt subserve their interest," as well as that
of the community, by being present.
We make an extract from the Circular defining the
objects of the exhibition. We shall hereafter have
more to say upon this subject.
As it is not considered practical to hold general
Fair, as is usual in autumn the Managers beg per
mission to state clearly the specific objects of the
Spring Fair
Let. The Encouragement of such Breeding Stock as
,giU be of greatest ralue to the country.
Pad The Introduction and Encouragement of such
Farm Implements and Machinery best calca-
lated to Advance the interests of Farmers and he
chanics.
Srd The Introduction and Sale of the best Domestic
Animals an the country
This third object is a new feature connected with
Fairs in Tennessee, yet it is which must not only
DecOH1e SencIdl, Ou5 NC VI lu1uSuSc flAuO " tiO
country.
1t will be observed that our Spring Fair win be
held at season of the year that, Stock and lmple-
ments may most easily be imported into the State.
The advantages arising from sale day, it is conf
IDENTIFY believed, will induce owners to bring their
Stock and Machinery, not only from States adjoining,
but ALSO from distant States Every facility will be
offered for their accommodation. Purchasers, also, of
Using and Breeding Animals may attend our Spring
Fair with confidence of finding the best animals of
the country Owners of good Stock in and out of the
State may be encouraged to believe that they will
find purchasers at the Fair.
II is entirely proper to say that Annual and Semi
Annual Sales in England and in the States North of
Tennessee have attracted universal attention and
the finest Breeding Animals seldom purchased
elsewhere. In future Spring and Fall Fairs will
embrace, as an important department, the sale of
Farm Stock especially.
The awards of the Tennessee Spring Fair will be
open to the competition of the world and it will be
noted that the premiums are much larger than at
any previous Fair. Such an enterprise must be re-
garded with deep interest not only by Tennesseeans,
but by the friends of improved Stock in adjoining
and even in distant States. Manufacturers of Agri-
cultural Machinery, from all parts of the country, are
invited to have their Implements present.
Every Agricultural, Mechanic and Stock AssOcia-
ton in the State is most respectfully invited to take
equal responsibility with the Davidson Society in this
First Spring Fair in Tennessee.

JUDGE ALEXANDER AND THE GovERNoRsHTP.
We have on one or two occasions, in con-
nection with the opinions of Others referred to
Judge AlexaDders fitness for the Governor
chip. The suggestion of his name, we may
remark. has been cordially received through
out the State and if he ever looked with even
half>wistfnl eye to political laurels, the re-
cent expression Ofsentiment in his favor might
have drawn him into the field. We are au-
thorized to say, however, that he can not con-
sent, for various reasons, to be candidate for
the Office, for which his friends have been
presenting bis claims. While he properly APP
preciates, no doubt, the kindness of his
friends, be prefers his present quiet and more
useful field of labor to the more stirring and
less genial one ofpolitics. To accept nom
ination, at this time, moreover, would involve
a change, which be would find it ruinous to
himself to Inake.-RnorOiILe Register.

The Fifth Congregational District.
FoR The PATRIOT


hEssRs. EDIToEs: The time is near for selecting
our candidates for the various Offices to be filed by
the August elections. Though we have twice been
defeated, we not dismayed. We believe if the
preference of the people is regarded and vigorous,
energetic men, who have a strong hold on the pop,
ular heart be selected in all cases as our standard
bearers, this noble State will be thoroughly Amer
icGnized in August next. It is to be hoped, that
every man, no matter what may be the character
OF his aspirations, will generously yield his claims
to the preference of his party, when fairly ascer.
tanned. rigid observance of this, will bring vic-
tory again to our standard, while disregard of it
will bring defeat.
The question is already being asked-Who viii
be our leader in the approaching canvass in this
Congressional DISTRICT The unanimous reply
here, is talented Fillmore eector, Robert Hat
ton, Esq. Without disparsging the merits of other
gentlemen spoken OF in this connection, we say,
better selection could not be made As to his
ability as debater, his knowledge as politician,
and his power over the masses, his brilliant cans
vass Of this district last summer and the trophies
he won on every stump over his talented oppo-
nent, are of so recent date and are so well known
by the thousands who heard him, that they need
not be mentioned here as evidence Of bis fitness
for the position. In his untiring energy and zeal
would be the guaranty of a vigorous canvass !;
while his humble origin and bis unaided eIertions,
through all the disadvantages of poverty, to his
present position, added to his many noble aud gen
erous qualities, give him influence over the pub
lie heart and mind, eIcelled by few, If any, in the
State. Without desiring to disparage the claims
of other worthy gentlemen, whose names may be
canvassed in this connection, we feel fully sutho-
rized 10 saying Mr.. Hatton is the first choice Of
this county for the next Congress.
Additional to this consideration, is the locality of
Mr. Hatton. For more than twenty years Wilson
county has cast one Of the largest nti-democratic
votes in the State and during the whole of this
time, she has furnished the electors for the district
and but for term, only, has she had the repre-
sentative 20 Congress. For over sixteen years,
she has nOby passed by the claims Of her own cits
izens, many of whom would have adorned q seat
in Congress, aud generously voted for the candid
ates furnished by one or the other of her sister
counties in the district though her vote always Sc
cured the election of that candidate Is this much
not due her, when her choice is meritorious and
equal to the position to be flled2 Sac does not
demand, as a matter Of right, the furnishing Of the
candidate for Congress, but she asks, as courtesy
due her. that her claims and her choice be taken
into consideration, in selecting the standard bearer
/ for this Congressional District.

TUESDAY, JAN. 20, 1887.



The following queer, funny, candid and
decidedly hard-hitting paragraph, says the
Montgomery Dial, appeared in the North
Alabama Register of the I'd instant. The
Register represents the democracy of Jack
son, and jackson is the banner democratic
county of Alabama
PLuNDERISG ColmENoED IN CONGRESS-.
1t has come to pass as we expected The
other corrupt members in congress being
encouraged by the aid received from few
bogus democrats, have commenced their
schemes Of plumber upon a grand scale
They propose to construct at the expense
of the general government, three great
railroads to the Pacific. At first they
talked of one road, but from the encour-
agement they have received from various
quarters, from the Southern Convention,
among Others they have concluded to pro-
pose building three railroads, which will
will cost at least $7O0,O00, 900. Thank
God, Franklin Pierce is in the Presidential
char, who would veto every bill for inter-
nal improvements, even if the Senate should
be prevailed upon to pass it."
" hen III Is remembered, continues the
1laa that Jas. Buchanan, President elect,
is Internationally and irrevocabIy COM
mitted to one Of these schemes of plumber
upon great SCALE to wit: one of the Pa
cliic Railroads. will be seen at once
that the declarations of the Register are
reTy important. We can not doubt but
that the Register will be one of the warm
est opponents Of the administration it has
assisted to elevate to power 1t will
doubtless remain true to the Democracy,
while Pierce is there, ready with his UetO
sledge-hammer to break the scene of cor
ruption; but it will be altogether different
when vast 'plundering' Pacific Railroad
scheme, taking the form of an act of Con-
gress, comes before James Buchanan, for
his approving signature.
Hurra for the good time coming, when
the North Alabama Register shall direct
its heavy batteries against the 'plundering'
administration of James Buchanan !-AU-

terprise is abuadantly successful and beyond
all contingency of failure. A letter to us from
Gen. besser, the model superintendent of the
institution, speaks in high terms of the sue

learn from other sources, that cottons and
woolens of superior quality are turned ont
such as to supply a considerable demand. The
supply of cotton is abundant in the vicinity of
the penitentiary; that Of wool is not so good,
but there is an ample supply within reach and
the product is rapidly increasing"

known to the public from bis unsuccessful efforts

forms us that the many hllibustering expeditions
which have been organized IN the United States
have SO disgnsted the people of Cuba that they will
not lend their aid to any further movements Of the
kind; that their country never can be revolution
red in that way, and that sueh efforts hereafter
must always result in defeat He is therefore OPP
