MEETING OF TIE CITIZENS OF KNOXVILLE IN

MEETING OF TIE CITIZENS OF KNOXVILLE IN
BEHALF OF THE UNION BANK.
Ths great question to be settled is, shall the
Bank at Knoxville pay their notes to the Memphis
brokers and others or shall they be EXEMPT bv the
Eat Of one Of the chief justices of Tennessee,
backed By the citizens of Knoxville9 No bust.
ness man viii venture q censure against the good
management Of the Union Bank, when informed
that said Bank has discounted foE the citizens of
New Orleans, within the last six months some
three millions Of dollars Of A, No. l, 60 to 20
days paper, at u to p per cent, instead Of loan
ing to the citizens Of Tennessee at 6 per cent per
annum. Every business mar will concede that
the Bank has pursued the right policy, to make
money for the stockholders, and that lie what the
Bank was bound to do. This course has been pur-
sued for years with great profit. Look at her div
ideuds and reserved fund. But now Knoxville
and Memphis have become near neighbors, and
while the Union Bank is flooding Memphis with
her Knoxville notes for cotton bills or New Or
leans funds in order to secure the good slaves TO
be had in the latter city, some Banks or broker at
Memphis has the temerity to send her Knoxville
notes home for redemption Did you ever hear
Of such impudence2 To call on Bank when she
is doing so much business, and at such good rates
out Of the State; and the beauty Of it is those
heavy discounts are made out Of non eside ntsl
Now the fact is no Bank ought to be tolerated that
is not able and willing to pay her liabilities when
| presented, no matter by whom. This same Union
| Bank has drawn coin largely from the Charleston
| Bank. have heard Of no meeting of the citizens
| Of Charleston on that sccount. This same Union
| Bank also complains that South Carolina Bank
notes are circulated in Tennessee, when it is
| known to the business community that South Car
olins notes are all equal to coin in Charleston, nc
matter il whist part of that State they are payable
/ Now we would advise the Union Bank to adopt
the same policy, and she will stop the traffic in
| coin.
Would it not b, well for Judge MoKtNNEY to ex.
anime law passed lst March, 1855, Chap. SO, and
satisfy himself that said Bank Mss complied with
said act2
In conclusion, let the good citizens of Knox,
vile exercise a little patience and the Union
Bank may withdraw part of the amount loaned
at New Orleans and send it to Knoxville, as tho

TIE New York Herald speaking OF the long and
eventul public career of Gen. CAss, thus refers to
his connection with the Q-intuple Treaty, meas
ure devised by the rsscslly diplomacy of England
to embroil the United Ssstes in war with haIfof
Europe;
During his residence in Paris arose the ques-
ton Of the Quntuple Treaty, one of the most por-
tentous subjects which mas ever threatened our
honor or interests England, from professed phi
laathropic, but from really interested views, wss
seeking 10 establish new principle Of maritime
police By which she could search the vessels Of
a / nations traversing the Ocesn. By Persevering
efforts she bad obtained separate treaties with va
ri0us powers of Europe-some great and some
small-by which the right OF search was granted.
She then declared that, Gs she could not execute
those treaties without searching toe vessels Of all
nations to ascertain to which they belonged, she
should assume that right and stop and board the
vessels Of the United States wherever they might
be found. And to give more moral weight to her
preteusiOns she projected another treaty with the
four great powers OF Europe, embracing in it the
search Bad intending to make it the Law Of the
ocean.
d" The treaty was signed By some Of the powers
before public attention was much turned to IT. but
fortunately, il was not ratified aud it was of vi
Isl importance to the United States, and all other
powers interested in the freedom of the seas, that
It should not be ratified by France. It was obvj-
Gus, from the state of the maritime world, thst if
France could be withdrawn from this eonfederscy,
no new principle of public Law could be created to
which she and the United States should refuse
their sanction. a geiDtuple treaty would be dan
gerous, but a qusdruple tresty would be without
the least effect or Influence To produce there
fore, this result was an object Of the highest i'm
portauce; and the American Minister st Psrs, fad
ing himself without instructions from his Gov.
eminent, had to depend upon his own resources,
and act on his own responsibility. The course he
resolved upon was twofod First, he determined
to operate upon public sentiment, and then directly
upon the Government.
His pamphlet UVoa the right Of search was TIE
measure be adopted 10 efec; the first object, and
hs formal protest against the ratification Of the
French treacy the second The pamphlet was pub
lshed il Eogtsh, Frelch sad German. and was
distributed throughout Europe It's effect is well
known, and we need not dwell on it now. The
appeal to the French Government was successful
it refused its ratification, and the quntupe treaty
became dead letter. England experienced the
first great check which she hal met with in her Tor
eiSn policy for quarter Of . century, aud the re
sentiment OF her people End press wss turned
against the man who had been so NANNY iusgru-
mental to it. They seemed to consider General
Cas- conduct as personal matter, which gave
every EugiishmGu the right 10 abuse hin. "

STRANGE against the efforts that are being made by
Gel BELL through the nstrumentaty Of his friends,
TO prescribe Messra ZoLLIooFFER and READY and
defeat their reelection to Congress simply because

THE INAUGURATION BALL.

A Washington letter writer makes the following
notice Of the grand Inauguration ball, which we
copy for the benefit of such OF our lady friends as
were prevented from being present, and had to
content themselves with sending Mr.. BUCHANAN
their compliments and regrets"
The grand inauguration ball here last night was
a suitable and magnificent pendant to a memorable
day. The scene presented to the eye in the ball
room was imposing and truly beautiful. The room
was illuminated with rich golden light from mas
sve chandeliers. The decorations of the room
consisted Of national flags and other beautiful EN-
olems such as banners of the different Democratic
wards in the largest cities in the Unon and several
Buchanan Clubs. Toe ball was undoubtedly the
grsndsst affair Of the kind that has ever been wit.
messed in this country and its entire success was
matter OF feIicitstion 70 the managers
About % O'Clock, President Buchanan entered
the room accompanied by Commodore LavsIette
and Gen. Henderson. AS he appeared, the band
struck up Hail to the chic, and he was escorted
to a seat, prepared for him, by Mayor Msgruder,
amidst the waving OF hsnkerchiefs and capping Of
hands He remsined il bis seat but few mo-
ments, but passed through the ball room and
wherever be stopped would hold q sort of i'm
prOmptu levee, for many persons we're continually
pressing forward to be presented.
Mr.. Breckinridge entered the room previous to
the arrival O.! Mr. Buchanan, snd was truly the
observed of al observers.
Miss Lane, who is to DO the honors Of the
White House, was present, aud made very favor
able impression. She gives much promise Of per.
forming tie duties of the White House with much
grace and dignity.
There were between five and six thousand per-
son pres nj; but little dancing was done in the
fore part Of the hight The President and Vice
President left the room about half past twelve
o'clock
Among the notsbles present were most of the
members Of the Senate aud House, the most prom

GOV. JOHNSON.


The swelling and mia nation Of Gov. JoHEsoN's !
arm having Sufficiently subsidized, his physicians, az
ter great and long continued effort on Tuesday,
succeeded IN reducing the dislocation OF the elbow
joint which had existed from the time Of the in.
jury, which was the lst of February.
The operation, as we are informed, was very
difficult and exceedingly painful The pain, how
ever, was considerably mitigsted by the use OF
ChlOroform. The many friends of Gov JOHNSON
viii be happy to learn that he will now recover
without any permanent disability.
PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA AND THE IRON
DUTY.
It's an extraordinary feature Of the late tariff
discussion in the Senate thinks the PsznsyvaniaR,
that M HUNTER, representing the iron and other
manufacturing interests of Virginia, is the man
to lead of against Mr.. BRoADHEAD and Mr. BIoLER
representing the same interests in Pennsylvania.
We might infer, ssys that paper, that the interest
which Virginia has in the iron manufacture is
small one so small indeed as not to be worth fight
ing for. But, on the contrary, that great State
surprising as it does Pennsylvania in extent Of
territory, surpssses her also in the range OF her
coal and iron.
Such being Tie fact, there is no limit to our
ootemporsry's amszemens at the course of the Vir-
ginis Senator.
Nor would there be to ours, remarks the Savannah
Georgian, could we conceive of a statesman being
governed BY no higher law than that Of the free
booter. If it be right to exact tribute from the
people of all TIE other Sstes to fill the Golfers of
the iron masters Of Pennsylvania and Virginia;
if it be right to plumber the rest Oh the Union to
| develop the mineral resources of the Key Stone
! State and the "Old Dominion, . then is the
| course Of the Senator of the latter sufficiently
amazing. IT. on the other hand, the command
ment Numbered from Sinai h" thou shall not Stsal
| be still lsw-binding no less upon States and
| legislators than upon individuals the mystery
ceases. The members Of Congress from Pennsyl
wanna and Virginia have no more right, under the
disguise Of tariff, to fIch from the other portions
Of the Union money to enrich the iron manufsc-
turers Of Pennsylvania ID Virginia, than would
the inhabitants of those States, under the disguise
of darkness, to pick the pockets of all the travel
lers who GLOSS their borders.
A tax adequate to the support of the general
| government all the States are willing to pay, in
the shape of a revenue duty. But when that tax
is imposed upon them, not with reference to the
wants Of the treasury but to increase the profits
of favored few, they object to its payment
When coIIeeted, whether going into the Golfers of
the government or into the pockets of the "pro
tected in the form of increased prices, it has all
the moral characteristics of stolen goods none
the less because in the case of many of the suffer.
ers, they are hot aware OF the wrong which has
laws make ndicsable, it is not necessary to con-
sttue il theft either that the perpetrstOr be dis
covered or that the victim be aware of his loss.
