CARTHAGE, July Is, 1857.
Editor Union j American
The candidates for Governor addressed large
audience here to-day. General Harris made one
of the most telling speeches that was ever heard in
the county of Smith. The Democracy are in the
highest spirits, and count on gain of 200 or 800
votes in this county the Presidential struggle
Hatton made quite failure, his effort here to-
day falling below his own poor speeches. The
Know NOthings looked as if they had not got what
they had come for-and many were heard to ex-
press their disappointment
The Democracy we're so noisy with rejoicings that
stranger might have concluded that they were in
the majority.
The Know Nothings had persons in the crowd to
call upon Harris and Col Hatton for opinions
upon the compensation bill. Hatton made feeble
argument against it-showing his desire to injure
Col. Savage. Gen. Harris said it was a subject in
no way connected with the canvass between him
self and his competitor that they had passed
through the Districts of Gen. Rivers, and Col
sneed, two Know Nothing members who voted for
the bill, and, Through Hon. Sam A Smiths district,
without word being said upon the subject It not
having been mentioned by anybody until they enter
edCo Savages district and he could readily see that
the whole object of the question to affect Col Saw
ages election-butt they should have all the opinion
he had upon the subject. He had never seen the
bill, and could pretend to know accurately its
provisions. From the reports he had heard he would
have voted against it.
At the close of the meeting there was a general
and oft repeated call from the Democracy for Col.
Savage who took the stand and said that he did not
consider it proper to address them after debate so
able, and without any arrangement with his competi
tor. VOX POPULI.
"A friend writing us from Livingston, Over
ton county, says of the discussion at that place:
Its useless to attempt to describe how well the De-
mocracy and old line Wings were pleased with
Harris at this place. 1t is given up here that Har-
ris will be elected by at least Buchanans majority
if not 10000 votes. 1t was glorious day for the
untiring Democracy of old Overton. We will fully
sustain ourselves certain if not make some little
gain here.
Our candidates for Congress, Wallace and May
nard have just left this county. The Democrats are
very well pleased with Wallace. He is full match
for Maynard and you need not be the least astonsh
ed, if he should be elected triumphantly. Every
thing points that way l write in haste as the
mail will soon go down" OVERTON.

A DEAD Niger.

When the cholera at its worst in 1S49 in New
Orleans an old negro, vino had weathered tie
yellow fever many times at length got frightened
at the havock which the new disease was making
among all classes. His master one night
heard him praying to "the angel of de Lord" by
the light of talow candle, ''to spare him dis time
to lef him live little longer and den take him
home to glory" But he concluded his prayer by
protesting perfect submission to the will of the
angel of the Lord even should he be called for to
go Immediately on his long journey. SambOs
master determined to test the sincerity of this last
profession. He knocked, loud and distinct at his
door "WhO dar!" says Sambo. "The angel of
the Lord answered. "What you want!
81 have called for Sambo! " The master heard the
candle suddenly extinguished with sOhoof and
Sambo energetically answered, "He not here dat
Niger IS been dead three weeks The Banner has
heard this GEOGRAPHICALLY told by the Picayune-
and adopts the policy of the cute old darkey in this
canvass. When we call for Know Nothingism to
come to judgment, that paper is astonished and
declares to US that that organization has been
abandoned in Tennessee long co." Perhaps,
neghbor; but it has not yet made sufficient atone
ment for its sins. Its still lire and one of them
is candidate for Governor of Tennessee. What if
the piracal ship of which he was an officer two years
ago has been scutled and sunk so that there is no
longer danger from her This is no atonement to
he country. The men who oficered her are to be
exposed in their hiding places and punished. They
are to be held up as example to all time of the
ternness with which the Originators of secret poll
zeal societies to be held to account by those |
whose rights they plot against. No sort eff |
'luIvocation or lodging relieve Mr. Hatton from
