Hear an Old Patriot.

A highly esteemed and venerated friend,
at present resident of Gibson, who stood
by us in the glorious Wing campaigns Of
'43 and IA, in Rutherford, writes US an
encouraging letter from which we make
the following extract:
al know you we're once orthodox in politics and
want oknow where you stand now once stood
shoulder to shoulder to in the glorious old Wing
ranks, but that purity now no longer exists sep
arate organization; yet Wing principles live and
ever will, and think are mainly to be found among
the principles Of the American party. A spirit of
concession and compromisa, forbearance on the
part of section Of the country towards another,
but above all, love for our own native born citi
zens, aud the everlasting preservation Of this glo
nous Union should be the rulilg maxim with all.
Is there no chance, ssk, for you young men to
redeem Tennessee from the defeat occasioned us
last fall by, as believe, system of double-deang
and evasion Of the true issues. Let US bring out
our best men, not only for Governor and Congress-
men, but also for the legislature and let there be
harmony and union of our strength. Who will be
the American candidate for Governor Without
disparagement to our gallant Haskell or others
that have been spoken of 10 this IS well as other
portions of the State, let me ssggest the name
of Col. MATT MARTIN, of Bedford; he, think,
would be iuvincible. Blu. let there be Conven-
tion-let delegates attend from all quarters of the
State aud agree as to the man. and then, be be
whom he may, let us unite as one man aud elect
him. Let AS knoe no such Sord as FAIL"
On reading the Patriot our venerable
friend viii find that we stand where we
have ever stood-in opposition to the sham
Democracy of the age.
There is ga chance" for the redemption
Of the State, if the American party shall
be fortunate enough to secure for every po-
sition good leader, and a harmonious,
united, vigorous canvass. We trust the
hearts of all Americans will be rejoiced
next August by the ccnsummation of this
most noble and patriotic achievement.

The Canvass for Governor-Gcn. Has
-S keIl.

- So 49, s~ss w OO' naB~
.- keIl.
In the minds of great portion of the
American party, the name Of the eloquent
HASKELL has been linked with the next
canvass for governor in this State. The
press, in all parts of the State, has spoken
of him most favorably in this connection,
and we believe, so far as our knowledge of
public sentiment goes, that his nomination
would have been hailed with unanimous
and ardent enthusiasm by the American
masses of Tennessee. We have thought
that the public feeling pointed to his nomi-
nation as a certainty. But we have had
our attention called, within few days past,
to the provision of our State Constitution
relating to the qualifications for governor,
and the fact that Gen. Haskell some years
since, removed to and resided in Arkansas,
and returned to Tennessee, only within the
last two years. Art. 3, Sec. 8, of the con-
stitution, referring to the governor, says:
He shall! be at least thirty years of age;
I" shall be citizen of the United States,
"and shall haze been citizen of this State
" seuen gears mert before has election" 1t will
be seen from these facts, that Gen, Haskell
is ineligible, and the party and the friends
of this gentleman, will have to look else
where for standard bearer, in the coming
contest

Important M.il con.r,ct.

The last Congress provided for carrying
the mail from some point, hereafter to be
designated on the Mississippi river, to San
Francisco; monthly, semi-monthly or week
ly, at the discretion of the Postmaster
General. This is project of very great
Importance to the people, both Of the Pa
ci6c and Atlantic States Of the Union. 1t
is heavy undertaking, and viii require
much energy aud business capacity to carry
il through successfully. We have been in
formed that our townsman, James Glover,
is an applicant for the contract. We have
every confidence that Mr.. Glover, backed
as he is by ample means. has the ability to
execute every part of the contract, il it
should be awarded TO him. In addition
to his industry and energy. he has the in.
formation Of the country, the difficulties and
hazards Of the service, having twice been
over the route in person We do not think
the Post Office Department can possibly
make better selection to carry out the
proposed enterprise. than Mr. Glover.
He has every necessary qualification. and
we hope the Postmaster General may find
il 70 the interest aud pleasure Of the gov
eminent TO award il TO him.

that the citizens of New Orleans, through
their properly constituted authorities are
not capable Of selfgovernment; it suspends
their rights as amunicipal body, and places
the ciyii authority of the corporation sub
ordinate to the military, by declaring mar.
tai law. This foul act of the fouIest des-
potism, was pepetrated by mere quorum
OF The Legislature, against the wishes and
consent of large majority Of the citizens
over whom this tyranical military regency
was placed.
This INDUSTRIOUS scheme to intimidate and
overawe the native citizens of New Or.
leans 70 stiae the popular, will, and to
psurp the rights of Americans, has no paral-
lei IN The legislative history Of this country
not even In the despotic exactions and
asurpations of GEORGE III over the Ameri-
can colonies. 1t was concocted mainly by
the most violent and Inscriptions democra-
TIC partizans in the State of Louisiana, the
Attorney General aided by the democratic
Governor of the State, and moulded into
law by the democratic Legislature. We
are happy to believe, that it will meet the
disapprobation of the honest and fair min
ded democracy of Louisiana, and that it
Will remain dead letter on the statute
book, and monument of eternal infamy
to those engaged in its preparation. But
If this fell, rule-or-ruin spirit of the demo-
cratic magnates of Louisiana, is to be per-
sistedin, they may take warning, that it will
prove demon of blood to the fair city of
New Orleans; that rather than submit their
liberties to the keeping to band of armed
rufians, the people of that city will perish
to man, in defence of the dearest rights
of an American, Selfgovernment and free
suffrage.

In the advertising columns OF the Washington
Organ, Mr.. J. j. Burnett. formerly a clerk in the
Office of the Clerk of the United States of Repre-
seutatives, makes charge that the Clerk (Cullum)
of the House last winter retained three months pay
due to himself and three of his fellow Clerks, max
ing an aggregate of 81 800; and intmases that he

his own emolument.- Union aud American.
The Washington Star, democratic paper,
in its issue of the 2sth Of March, states that
it has made thorough investigation of this
matter and acquits Mr.. Cullum of any
thing improper. In relation to the 1900 re-
tanned, it says-"As per an entry on the books
at Suter, Lea & Co.'s, where the Clerk kept
his accounts, We find that on the day it was
assigned to him, Gen. Cullum, the Sd of De-
cember last, it was promptly paid by him back
to the credit of the House contingent fund"

Decline in Sugar.

From the latest ports of the principal su- gar markets iii the world, it will be seen that there is material falling off in rates and a con tinued downward movement. Everywhere there is hope of an abundant yield in the coun- tries producing this staple. Louisiana pro- mses 300,000 hogsheads against less than one third of that amount last year; Cuba will come up to the full limit of her past production, if she does not surpass it, under the stimulus of the late high prices; Brazil shows no falling off; MaurituS continues the ratio of increasing pro- ducton that has doubled her crop in seven years, and it is doubtful whether India will not yield as large a supply as ever.
 The New York Herald, in this connecticut says
 In the face of this state of affairs we shall not be at all surprised to prices of this ne- cessary staple go to a very low point, and eve " housewif fife rejoicing over cheap sugar and a full sugar bowl. In fact, that is the natural law of trade Prices of this article have been so far above its cost of production that consump. ton has been diminished, speculation excited and stocks accumulated, until the point of re- action has been reached, and speculation must cease and prices decline until consumption is again stimulated and-stocks diminished. The recent high prices of sugar have been owing as much to artificial as to natural causes. It be- gan with the failure of the crop in Louisiana, but received large impulse from the banking expansion that took place in Havana, stimula, ting, as it did, speculation to an extraordinary degree at one of the principal sources of SUD- ply. The revulsion in Havana has commenced It is true that an attempt is being made there to sustain prices by infating the currency with paper issues, but this is a violation of the laws of finance and trade that will bring its own punishment, and cannot save the price of su- gar in the face of the falling markets of the world. Let it go. We have paid too much for our sugar for some time back. One hun dred per cent profit to the sugar planter is out of all reason, and the world is tired of paying it. Let us have cheaper sugar.

The Pacific Overland Mail Route.

We are indebted to one of the secretaries, JOHN E. MANLEY, esq, for the proceedings of the convention held at Clarksvle, on the 14th inst, to urge the practicability of an overland mail to the Pacific, via Fort Smith, on the 35th parallel of latitude. They were received, how ever, too late for insertion this week. We will publish them in full in our next issue
 For Mir. Manley's kindness in sending us these proceedings, and for many other similar valuable services, we tender him our sincere thanks. In these dull times, when it is so diff fcult to make up an interesting paper, such as- sstance as Mr. Manley frequently renders Us, is highly appreciated.
 We are also in receipt of a communication on the same subject, detailing many things out side of the regular proceedings. for which we cheerfully acknowledge uriudebtedness to our esteemed friend. The communication we may not publish at present, nevertheless we thank the writer for the information it conveys.
