P. T. Observation-Disclosures trip to Europe has
proved failure. The crowds have not come out to
see Little Cordelia Howard and Gen 7 ON Thumb
He found it very difficult to get an engagement that
would pay, and when he did get it, he was taken
sick so that he could not attend to it. His debts
too, followed him to Europe, and ready bailif was
at the door Of the theatre ready to sieze any of
money that might be made.
Poor Barnum, he seems to 60 right on down as he
went up. In his better days every thing he touched
brought in money. Now every thing he takes hold
Of brings him deeper and deeper in debt. It is re-
ported that he will soon return to this country and
take the full benefit of the Bankrupt Law. Then he
will 60 to Europe and remain until he can pay, and
if that never comes to pass he will no more return
to his native land. We should think he would try to
find some quarter of the world where clocks were
not used, for with the Jerome Clock Works the day
of sorrows may be said to have begun; and from
present appearances they will not soon end. So
says an exchange.

TO THEDEMoCRATs OF SUMNER COUNTY

The undersigned have agreed for the present to
withdraw their names as candidates for the Legis-
lature And call upon the democracy in each civil
district to empower some one person to represent
them, and that these representatives, Of the people
meet in Gallatn on the first day of next Circuit
Court, it being the third Monday Of the present
month, and then and there determine who shall be
the candidate for the Legislature. We ara induced
to take this step from sincere desire to preserve
good feeling and harmony in the democratic ranks,
and because we are unwilling to hazard the success
of candidates for other positions We hope the peo-
pie will take the matter in hand that these diff
cultes may be amicably settled. We respectfully
urge upon the democracy of each district to take
some immediate steps to authorize some one to
represent them in the proposed meeting.

THE SEASON AND THE CROPs.-The GOODNESS and
baokwardness of the present spring has led to many
distrustful remarks, and doubtless more has been
thought than uttered Most men appear to think
that they could regulate the weather much better,
ifthey had the opportunity. Possibly they might,
if only themselves were concerned in the result but
as others are likewise interested in a thousand diff
ferent ways we prefer the present direction Already
can see that without doing any essential harm
to the grain crops or, we believe, to the cotton,
tobacco and rice crops, as whole, the effect has
been beneficial in three important respects:
l. 1t has secured a magnificent sugar crop,
amounting in value to S10,0000 900 or S12 600 900;
crop especially needed at this time because of the
failure last year, of the Louisiana sugar crop To
make the maple sap run freely and abundantly,
frequent changes in the temperature are necessary.
At times it must be so cold to freeze the ground
and then become mild and genial. Just such has
been the weather this Spring. It has taxed the
trees to their utmost, without damaging them, and
so an unprecedented crop Of sugar has been made
probably double what was ever made before.
2. A SPLENDID fruit crop. Had the month fApril
been warm the blossoms would have been so far de-
veloped as to be destroyed by the cold of May But
as a kind Providence has ordered it, the blossoms
have been kept back until all danger Of their de-
structon by frost is past and there is prospect Of
most abundant crop All kinds Of fruit trees
loaded with blossoms.
3 An excellent hay crop. The wet weather has
invigorated the grass roots and they are shooting
forth with much yigor. There is every prospect Of
an abundant crop. This is closely connected with
the grain crops; for if the farmers fall short ofhay,
they must feed out grain to their cattle.
On the whole we 60 for the present administra-
ton of seasons and are opposed to innovation from
any quarterly T. Journal Of Commerce.

From the proceedings of the meeting yesterday
held in Raleigh il will be seen that Judge Dunlap
accepts the nomination Of the Democracy Of Shelby,
and is now fairly in the field a candidate. The
Convention was unanimous in its selection Of him,
and his acceptance was received with the most
hearty applause. Our entire tickets complete,
and is Acknowledged on all hands to be the strong
est that could have been selected. If the people
shall back up these nominations, Shelby will have
stronger representation in the next Legislature than
perhaps any other county in the State-Aenlphis

Substance Of the Speech Of Gen. IshaDl g. Harris Of
Shelby, Democratic candidate for Governor Of Ten
assSes, at the Ciy Hall, Memphis, June 3Oh, 1857
in reply to his competitor, Col. RO6t, Hatton.
Gen. Harris commenced by remarking that Col
Hatton had to-day unfolded theory Of which all
the sages and statesmen Of country and of all
other countries had been profoundly ignorant-the
theory of a Government which could support itself
without laying the burthens Of taxation upon the
people If Col. H. could only extend his system a
little farther and make the Government capable not
only Of supporting ITSELF of building railroads. and
Of educating the children of the land, as he pro-
posed to do by the distribution among the States of
the public lands but also endOW it with the bOUnti-
full prerogative Of feeding and clothing every citi
zen of the State, he would entitle himself to the
name of a public benefactOr.
Gen. Harris then proceeded to examine the con-
stutional power of Congress to give away the vast
domaine of the Federal Government to the several
States plumber the treasury Of of the sources
Of revenue and to deprive the citizens of the Re-
public Of their right to a homestead at such price
as made 1t accessible to every one. Col Hatton de-
rived the power from the constitutional clause en-
towering Congress dispose Of and make all need
tul rules and regulations respecting the territory of
the Union and other public property. He claimed that
the right TO dispose Of implied the right to qiue.-
Then if Congress could under this clause, give away
the territory Of the Union, it could also make dona
tons Of its other public property, its arsenas dock
yards, public stores capitol, sc. And if it pos
sessed the power to make donations to States or
individuals of any of its property the conclusion
naturally and irresistby follows that II lay and
collect revenue and raise taxes for the purpose of
purchasing property with the view to make dona-
lions of it TO those who may be the objects of its
favor.
Here Col Hatton interrupted Gen. Harris, and
explained that he held no such doctrine; that his
idea was that taxation could be used for such
purpose but that when property had once been Pur-
