DT~ This is the last paper we can issue
before the day of election; and in advance
of that day, so important to the great in
tercsts of Tennessee and the Union, we
ask every voter to take council with his
head and heart, resolved to act for his
country, and his country alone. Let each
man lay his hand upon his heart, and ask
himself if he can, conscienciously, vote with
that party, and for that policy, which ex-
clude slavery from Kansas for the base
purpose Of propitiating Black Republicans
and self-styled democrats, with freesoil
principles. Let him ask himself if it is
his duty to his country to uphold the
licencious doctrine of squatter sovereignty,
or to place the lowest alien upon an equal
ity with the noblest Of native Americans.
Let him ask himself if it be not treason
to the South, to despoil it of its share of
the public lands, that the same may be
used for building up, populating and en-
riching abolition States. Let him ask
himself if it is right to sustain a party
which sustains all these measures, which
violates its pledges to the South, as often
as made, and, by its acts, demonstrates
that its patriotism begins and ends in the
possession of Office.
The man who, in the privacy of his own
thoughts, can answer these questions in
the affirmative, may be honest in the belief
that he is right-delusion has no limit
but whatever may be his belief on this
point, every consideration of truth, honor,
justice and patriotism demands that he
shall examine the grounds of his belief,
and see that prejudice has not been mis-
taken for honest conviction, that duty to
country has not given place to obedience
to party.
To the true hearted Americans, OF
Montgomery, we have not word to say
They know their duty, and will discharge
it. With them, patriotism is living
active entity. They feel that they have o
country to serve, national honor to YIN
dictate and natural rights to defend against
foreign aggression. They know that this
is the land of their birth, and that natural
law, conventional right and sound policy
demand that no foreign power, and no
party allied to such foreign power, should
control its government, Stimulated by
these considerations, and looking to no
pocuniary reward, love of country and
devotion to principle constitute sufficient
guarantee that they will rally around the
ballot-box, on Thursday next, and prove
their faith by their works

ToMBS OF GE0RGIA.---Ihis gentleman
made speech, in which he gave Walker
thunder, but had nota word of ccnsure for
Buchanan-the agent is d-nd, whilst the
principal is praised to the skies Another
position of this weathercock, just as fool
ish as the foregoing, is that the great bat
tie between the North and South, is to be
foughtin 1860, and that the locofoco party
is the only one that can save the Union and
protect, the South. His deluded followers
seem to have forgotten that, last fall, they
were told this great battle was then being
fought; that the election of Fremont would
dissolve the Union, whilst the election of
Buchanan would forever settle the slavery
question, and give Kansas to the South.
Well, Buchanan was elected, and what
is the resultP Why, that slavery is still
the hobby of both wings of locofocoism,
and that instead Of making Kansas slave
State, fierce contest is waging between
Black Republicanism and locofocoism as
to which shall have the honor of making it
free; and such is the confidence of the
administration in southern acquiescense in
this palpable fraud, that southern man
has been entrusted with the task of wrest-
ing Kansas from us and giving it to the
freesoilers. This grievous wrong to the
South, is a part of the locofoco programme
for 1S60-it is the solder that is to unite
the party, at that date, and hence the cry,
that locofocoism, alone, can save the coun-
| try The Lord deliver the the country
from such saviorsl Every year witnesses
an additional surrender of southern rights
to appease northern fanatics. Squatter
sovereignty and alien suffrage are the
agencies furnished by the South, to exclude
slavery from the territories, and the public
lands are appropriated to swell the wealth
and multiply their anti-slavery popula-
ton.
This is the way bogus democracy saves
the Union, and protects the South; and
Tombs is fair specimen of the partizan
demagogues who are active in the work of
southern degradation for the base con-
sideration of share in the public plum
der. That man has not sense enough, or
is not honest enough, to represent a
southern constituency, who will give to a
floating rabblc of Territory power to ex-
clude the South from it, and to the aboh.
ton alien-just released perhaps, from 0
felon's sell,-the right to participate in
such anti -slavery movement. And criminal
as is this treason to the South, the crime
derives additional blackness from the free
gift Of southern property to these, its mos
dangerous enemies. Yet these things are
not only done, but defended by such friends
of the South as Tombs-men who confer
upon the alien-however ignorant, besot
ted, or vicious-rights denied, by thu
States, to native Americans; men whC
wrong the South, as far as it can be wrong
ed, by adding to the wealth and strengtl
of its enemies, and at its own expense
This is the party to protect the South
and this is the way they do it.

reason from that party why the "uoiee of
the Peoplc' t,co years ago was not as much
"thc voice of God'' as it is to-day?
This idea of submission is not original
with this scion of the National Democ-
racy. The people will recollect that the
Census Act was vetoed by Gov. Geary, ON
the sole ground that there was no clause
in the law, providing for the submission
of the Constitution to be framed to tpte
of the people, and that the Democratic
Legislature took issue with him upon this,
and passed the bill unanimously over the
veto. And it will be noted that some of
the very men who now are among the dis
senters. were eloquent in their approval
of the justice and fairness OF the census
law, andopenly denounced Gov. Geary as
a traitor to Democracy, for daring to do
his duty. We leave the people to judge
what part goading conscience, or a sense
of error, had to do with this notable
change in the sentiment of part of the
National Democracy. We have our own
opinion upon it, which, from time to time
as the game goes on, we intend to deyeiope.
While we are only hostile to the pres
ent Federal Administration, for reason OF
its policy of injustice to the freedom-lov-
ing portion of the citizens OF this Terito-
nv. for its aiding and abettins pro-slayery
ism here, and conniving at all manner OF
outrage. perpetrated to strengthen and
support it, we intend to labor seduously
and with the full strength of our humble
ability, against that policy, which, If sue
cessful. will place everything righteous IN
the government and administration OF the
affairs of Kansas, everything wise and
wholesome in its laws and institutions, tc
the credit of the National Democratic
party at large, and everything unrighteou'
and execrable in that regard, will heap a
CALLING and heavy responsibility upoI
