SAY The ladies of N Y, City propose
to get up petition to the President, pray
ing a suppression Of pollygamy in Utah
As matter, deeply concerning the charac-
ter Of American women, we commend the
movement and hope the intervention OF
the ladies will have weight with an ad,
ministration that seems not to heed the
calls Of justice, patriotism and deccncy,-
Polygamy is blot upon the nation, thai
should lie wiped out at all hazard--it is {
damning SIN endorsed by the federal gov
crnment, as long as it remains unforbid,
den, or UNPUBLISHED. If locotoco rule il
rapidly degrading man, by making plundel
the rule of his action, let it strive to up
hsid the purity of woman as the last hop'
Of tho Rapublic.

DSS- The rcsuscitated question of an
equitable distribution of the public lands
is giving democracy great deal of trouble.
We hope American candidates will urge
it with zeal and ability, and be careful to
guard the people against the common
dodgc-1that the democrats want to hold
the public lands as homes for actual set
tiers. Contrast their practice with their
theory, by showing that whilst they de-
nounce distribution as unconstitutional,
they distribute the lands, by millions Of
acros, to build up freesoil States, and to
multiply the enemies of South. They
give them, not to actual settlers, but to
States & companies, and to do another un-
constitutional act--to carry on internal
improvements by the General Govern
ment.

Mn EDIToR:--From call made by
large number Of the American party in
your last issue, and in the Nashville Ban
ner, aud from the feeling manifested in
large portion Of this Congressional Dis
trict, II seems that another convention of
the American party Of the district, to nom
mate candidate for Congress, must, and
will be held / fear from the manifesto
ton Of public feeling, which l have seen,
that our success in this district, under pres
ent circumstances, is by no means certain.
A strong effort will be made by the democ-
racy to carry this district, and unless some
steps are taken to secure harmony in the
American party, we will, in all probability
lose the district Itwas supposed that the
strong feeling which unfortunately arose
between two of our sister counties, and
which afterwards spread to other portions
of the district, would by this time, have
somewhat subsidized; but so far from il,
am not sure but that it is increased Many
(and when say many mean many,) Of
the most influential men of the American
party declare their purpose to vote for a
democrat for Congress, unless we have a
nominee Of our own.
| am satisfied, under the present unfor.
tunate circumstances by which the Ameri-
can party of this district are surrounded
that the Hon. w. w. Pepper, of Rob.
ertson county, is The man, and perhaps the
only man who could heal all dissentions
and produce perfect harmony in our ranks
His position, his locality, his cxtraordina
ry strength and popularity, unerringly
point to him as the proper candidate to BE-
selected. lie might not accept the nomi
nation if rendered probably would not
but l think that an effort should be made
to induce him, for the sake of harmony il
the party, to make the race; but, if tina
cannot be effected, let us have nominee
and then stand by him, and work for him
with determination to give him trium
lphant majority.

OBITUARY.

DlED in Nashville, May 9th, Mary f.
Pigue eldest daughter of j. NJ. Brown of
this place.
How much sorrow will this startling
announcement, bring to the hearts of all
who knew her. A few short months ago,
she left us young and happy bride, but how
changed the scene! in the same room where
the marriage vow was given, now lies her
lifeless form. We have not looked on her
loved face, nor can We. Let us ever think
of her as the bright and happy being she
looked when last we parted Death at all
times is sad, but when we see enc so young
and full of hope taken from us, we are led
to exclaim with the Apostle: Oh, God;
how unsearchable are thy judgements, and
thy ways past finding out. Whilst her
many friends may sigh, that one sofondly
cherished has passed away, what must be
the anguish that wrings the hearts of those
so closely allied? To her heart broken
husband and afflicted family circle, we
would tender our warmest and most heart
felt symathies We knew and loved her
we'll, aud shall deeply feel her loss. Though
the stroke be heavy, We know her fond
parents viii meekly submit to the will of
God, who ordoreth all things Alright To
her husband earth can offer no consolation
how dear then should be that Heaven
where dwells his Angel Wife. Murmur not.
God gave, He took, He will restore,
He doeth all things well
A FRIEND,
Clarksyille Nav 9TH 1857.

and lot Of acres, half mile from the
square was sold about7 years ago for
|s1, 1O0-thrcc years after, for four thou
sand--two years after that, s6,000--and
now $4,000 is refused for Il without addi-
ton Of material improvements. Within
the last five years another place, well
known to all the citizens, was sold for FIVE
thousand dollals, then for sS,O00-and
this year sold for more than sixteen thou
sand dollars. One other place in the same
vicinity was sold about fonr years since
for s25 per acre, the owner Of which, has
since refused $40 per acre for the whole
tract, and actually sold a portion lying
nearest town for $3.50 per acre, without
any Improvements. A piece of property
near the square, only III feet in breadth,
sold twelve months since for $4,000; and
has since been sold for upwards of $40, 900
One other piece of ground was purchased
twelve months since, and recently sold for
| 100 per cent on cost. have thus traced
the history of several peices of property
for several years back, to show that the
rise is not sudden, or likely to be of short
duration. 1t has been produced by the
valuable trade and advantages Of the place
and to answer the demands of increasing
population-it is permanent and substan
tial. We have shown the past, now, with
increased trade, redundant population
