We are gratifed to learn, through the oficis
proceedings Of the Democracy Of Hickman and
from private sources in heotber counties that this
gentleman is likely to be returned to our next Legis
AZURE ashe Senator from bis old district Of Dixon
Hickman, LswissD Msury. We presume he will
yield to the unanimous wishes Of his party, and
that be will have no opposition. This is one Of
the instances in which the entire State may be
congratulated, for it is seldom that the Legislature
of the State secu res the service CT 50 able and
faithful representative. All who served with him
in the last Legislature will bear illness to the fact
that be is not only model specimen Of q Demo-
crst and az sOle debster, but that be has those
habits of Investigation and labor which guarantee
attention to the interest of his constituents and a
thorough investigation Of all questions that may
come up.
Let the Democracy go on, as they haze com
mencsd, putting forward their strongest msn for
the Legislature, and hsrmOnizing al feuds and diff
6culties that may arise, and they will have the
pleasure in the approaching election Of Wrestling
The State from tyrsnncal minority, who by their
gerrymAndering system have disregardsd all JUS
Jice and right for the sake of the spOis and emol-
uments Of Office.

SOUTHERE Trade WITH SPAIN. 1t is not genera.
" known that the city of Charleston, s c, is now
IS it has been for some time past carrying on q
lucrative direct trade with Spain, and rhst chiefly
in the essential commodity of -four. From the
Courier we obtain the GIo wing facts 10 relation to
this important export trade from Charleston:
4" It is but a short time since that we noticed, as
il was also by the commercial press drought the
country, the export Of q cargo Of -four from this
port to Spain. Another instance connected with
this new feature in our trade has come to our at
tention. The Spanish brig Msrs JuanG Csrecede,
master, cleared from this port yesterday for San
tsndsr, Spain, having on board lob barrels and
300 sacks of -four. This may seem somewhat
singular, and acting upon the 'coss to Newcastle
principle, as Ssntsndsr is the great e Jur depot for
the south Of Spain; but the cargo above men toned
is of extra superior Lebanon and Denmcad brand,
and for better than any that is grown or manu-
featured in Spain. The Maria Jusna was cleared
by Nessrs. Cay, Montauer & Co."

POLITICAL GOSSIP


We understand that in the fifth Congressional
district Mr.. HATFoE's friends have determined on
holding Convention 70 rule Of Col. READY. Mr..
b. is said to have ell he underhOlts, having been
puTposely born in Sumner married in williamson,
aud is row citizen of Wilson. 10 addition to great
diplomatic talent in ell political intrgues. great
many Of the "inlense Americans" Of the district
are said to be hostile towards READY OF account of
bis voting with the democrats 10 favor Of the Kan
sas.Nebraska bill Col. BELL has given the cue in
this matter
DR.. RIoHARDsoN, it is thought by some, is lying
low and keeping dark in connection with this mat
ter, hoping to pick up the persimmons that READY
and HATToE may shake down. We viii see how
it win turn out.
Col MATT. MARTIN appears to be most fsvorably
spoken Of in the last few days as the know nothing
candidate for Governor. A friend IL East Ten
Eessee is urging his claims on the ground that he
's's good lawyer" The Col may truly eKclaim
in this connection, ''a prophet is not without hon
or, save in his own country" A correspondent o
tie Memphis Enquirer favOTs Col. MARTIN because
il would be a ijudiei0us" selection. We suppose ht
means by that that al candidate is wanted for is Il
he beaten, aud that the Col could afford that anC
be as little damaged as any man they could start
But we do insist that in this light, Col AMEET il
the 3udicioussst of the two But fear our Col. i
done for. We have ceased to hear from him. Hi
name is entirely ignored
"Oh no, they never mention him,
His names no longer hssrdi
Their lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word"
1t was evidently suspected by some that tn
Swelling greatness" Of oar Col. might result il
his willingness to compromise bis claims TO hghe
stations by declaring himself candidate for tn
Legislature.
With such q sacrifice, Of course, no one coul
AK him to come lower. What an awful state c
affairs this would produce. It would be the bu

they have ignored him. Continuing IN that tende

80 aepMANs nF PENNsYLvANIA

The German poPllatiO OF Pennsylvania are
prov erbial for their excellenoy as farmers A re-
cent number of the Pnilsdephis Pennsylvania,
speaking of this class Of population in that Styte,
says:
The character Of the Germans Of Pennsylvsnis,7

virtues They are honest--they are Industrious
they are patriotic; they possess that useful prsct
cal intelligence which Is of the greatest Impor.

world.
Tney are a. industrious as they are honest. 1t
forms part of their very nature. They rely not
upon tricks and artfce to gain their substance,
but rather upon legitimate contributions to the in
dustrial resources of the country. No men more
generally obey the scriptural Injunction to earn
their bread By the sweat of their brows. Although
they are probably more apt to confne their atten
ton to agricultural pursuits than people Of diff
fsrent origin, who viii deride their choice, or, in
view Of the eminent success which stteuds their
operations in that great field of labor, doub. the

we are troubling ourselves so much about the can

simple reason that we are as much interested in

less our representative. TIE office does not belong

And if we sre compelled to take q Know Moth

CALL FOR CAPITAL IN EUROPE The London
Times Of the LIST inst speaks Of the calls fer money
there will probably be in Europe during the year
1857 It thinks that there no assurance that the
high rate of money, which hes ruled during the
past fsw months, will be diminished during the
coming year. If the disease which destroyed the
silk crop last season should continue, and France
sustain another loss Of $4,000 900 or $4,000, 900
sterling, q further demand for capital viii be felt
in that country, which will cause extreme terms
to be offered for whatever can be spared. Austria
likewise must continue, either by direct loans or by
fresh sales of national property, to procure an sd-
ditional e. 100000 or &3 100000 Of gold and ell
yer before she can venture to resume specie pay
ments. Even if these contingencies were absent,
there would still be reason to expect the cOntinen
tai biddings for money to be incesssnt It plain
that the late reVulsOn on the Paris Bourse has
operated not to cure, but merely to check the
speculative mania. Other financial prospects also
force themselves on the attention, pointing to flrth
er demand for money, viz: Necessity for loans in
India which will be created by the Persian war,
the solution Of the Chinese dispute, the efforts that
may be made by Turkey to restore her currency,
and the confusion that will be kept up il Europe
from the constant and inevitable advance IN the
price of silver England has also to anticipate
through the Atlantic telegraph a revolution in her
mode Of conducting monetary Transactions with
the United States. A similar achievement via the
Persian Gull and the Euphrates IS perhaps not
distant il the case OF India. Altogether the year
1857 bids fair to be brisk one in Europe, in the
way Of demEnd for money
