The know nothing papers all over
the State are beginning tocharge that
Gen. Harris is a "demagogue." Was
there ever a democratic candidate for
Governor in Tennessee who was not
a demagogue, according to the oppo-
sition? They charged that James K.
Polk was a demagogue-Aaron v.
Brown was demagegue--Gen. Trous-
dale was a demagogue--Andrew john
son was demagogue, and they now
say Gen. Harris is a denlagogue.-
Know nethingism is a good deal in
the condition of the fellow who, being
crazy himself, imagined that sill the
inhabitants Of the world were crazy.
Organized upon the principle of de-
ception themselves. they profess to
believe that all the world is moved
and governed by the same intrigue.
How unsafe must any government be
in the hands of such a party!

THE DIFFERENCE.


s There are but tive regularly nom-
mated know nothing candidates for

mated by the American State Con-
vention in Tennessee, The other by
1.-THE; American State Convention in
Massachusetts. Goth have taken
the oaths- both have pledged them
selves to wage an ineessant war upon
our foreign born citizens. and all
persons, both native and foreign
born, WHO profess the Catholic faith.
Both are opposed to what they Call
l"alien suffrage" i'll the territories
Both are opposed to the Kansas Ne
braska bill, and regard the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise as vio-
lation of good faith towards the
North. These points of similarity
between the know nothings Of Ten
nessee and Massachusetts no one will
deny. What are the points of diff
ference? Simply this.
One Claims to be "the American
and Wing candidate the other
claims, to be "the American and Re-
Epublican candidate" In the North
There are no whigs--in the South
there are no black republicans. The
facts, then, resolve themselves into
this: llatton claims to represent all
the elements in opposition to the de-
mecracy in Tennessee--Banks claims
to represent all the elements of op-
position to the democracy in Massa-
ichusetts. Hstton and Banks com.
bined, represent all the elements o.
Opposition to the National Demoera.

umph Of both wonld be triumph Of
all the isms. The defeat of both

Some persons who imagine they

to say that the strictly honest man
