DR.. FowLKEs, of the Memphis Express, says
little about politics, but there always Poist in the
little be does say. Instance the following com
ments on the coalition ofBlack RepubIcanism and
Know Notbiugism in The Northern States:
We see it stated with evident pleasure in 8
Know. Nothing journal that thousands who voted
for Fremont have awaited themselves Of the very
first opportunity to signify their undimnsEed
attachment to Amercsuism;" and this too IN the
local elections Of New FORK, over which the Eagle
50 Justly shouted.
We well remember how the Eagle in common
with Sans journals 10 the South crowed over
the election of Mr.. Banks snd bis COnlreres from
the North, as an evidence that 'inteDss Ameri.
caBism" was overriding oil other feelings,
They booted then at the idea that these Sans
were Sambos 10 disguise
10 the last Presidential Congressional and State
elections both Sam and Ssmbo ran on their own
hook, IS antagonist to each other, but with stiil
biitterer hatred to the Democracy. Tie result
was, that the Democracy whipped them both
most swfully. e. ..
The great gain made BY the National Democ-
racy Of members to the next House Of Represen.
tatiYes from the North renders it certain that the
B ack Republicans cannot agsin disgrace the
Union by eectiDg ore of their number Speaker,
nor by passing such q bill as the one admitting
Kansas into the Union, as 8 State, under the
Topeka Convention.
We do hope that al Southern men Of ell parties
will have too much honor, pride, aud patriotism
again to connive at the election OF B ack Repnbli-
cans to power by calling them "Amercans. The
Aboltionisis being out of power will, if allowed,
once more avail themselves Of Sans aid to get
back into office. They are now ooalesGing again.
Southern papers are rejoicing at the coalition.
They should bear mind that the Black Republic
can wing of the Know Nothing Party at the
North, is far stronger in talents and numbers than
the Fillmore wing; and hence these thousands OF
Fremonters" who are focking to Sans standard
are only doing 80 TO control tie elections and to
use Sans machinery for their own bensit
1t was by Sans machinery that more than
three fourths Of the Black Republicans got into the
late Congress. Is the same game TO be plsyed
over, and that too with the cUunivance again OF

But Mr. Bell urges the distribution Of the pre-

for which be himself voted, giving sway part Of
the public lands, and then argues that the balance
should be given aFsy, "tO deplete al OVERLOOKING

By Mr.. BELL. The argument is understandable

favor Of it, the Governor shall Immediately

from the publication Of such proclamation
the Constitution shall take effect.

General Assembly, and to Eli the places of
Senators who were elected in August 1854.

The first regular session of the General
Assembly will commence on the second Mon

The above we believe comprises every ma
terial feature in which the new Constitution
differs from the old, and ell that is interest
ing concerning the manner and effect of its
going into practical operation. Although
We should have preferred less minuteness,
in its prescriptions on some subjects, We
are tolerably we'll satisfied with it on the
whole, and presume it will-be adopted with
out any serious opposition.
There is an aside question, also, to be sub
mitted ut the same time, as to whether the
word "white" shall be stricken from the Ar
ticle on the right of suffrage. Should there
be Smajority in favor of that proposition,
then there will be no restriction as to the
right Of suffrage so far as color is concerned.
II majority fail to vote thus, then the Con-
stitution will remain as reported by the Con-
vention, and the right Of suffrage will be
restricted, as heretofore, to free white per-

We are pleased to learn that our friend
VIM. NJ. Stone, ESQ.,, of Knoxville has re-
ceived the nomination Of the Republican
Convention for Judge of the Eleventh Ju-
dicial District. The District is composed
Of the counties of Mabaska, Marion, War
rem, Madison, Powcshek, Jasper, Polk and
Dallas, and the vote of the Convention was
almost unanimous in favor Of Mr.. Stone.
This distinction has been well merited
and we know of no one whose elevation to
the Bench would afford us more sincere sat
isfaction. And as Mr.. Stone is very popular,
and very competent for the post, his election
in that District, under Republican auspices,
10 beyond the shadow Of doubt.

The County Judge has published procla-
nation in the Times calling upon the people
Of the county to vote at the April election
on the question of adopting the License
Law.
The Times has not taken definite stand
upon the question as yet, and will probably
withhold its opinions for some time, from an
anxious public. The truth Of the matter is,
the Times is in dilemma which requires
shrewd tactics. The large groceries and the
influential and fashionable saloons are in fa-
vor Of the License law, while the little zone
horse" doggeries are opposed to it.
II the Times can succeed in reconciling
these "antagonisms" it may be expected to
enlist in the war with great spirit, and will
doubtless carry it on with much ability. We

er the Times will enlist under the banne,
