GALIAT4S, July q. 1857.
Ed. UsIox:-The discussion between the oandi-
dates for Governor has just closed andf you could
have view Of the large crowd which is now dis
Persing on our square, you would have no difficulty
in comprehending the result. The Democracy is
jubilantl-and mean by that to say that from 1889
down to this day, do not remember to have Wit
messed public discussion between Gubernatorial
candidates in which the superiority in every attr-
butte of popular oratory was so palpably marked as
on that occasion. In former csnvasses, Gov. Polk
had for an antagonist James c. Jones, and q willy
fOeman he was. The two Browns, and Foster, were
old and able stumpers, and more recently Andrew
Johnson, with the eloquent Gentry, with national
reputation, and the eagle orator Of Montgomery
those were representative men, and in the shock of
the contest The country knew that each party had
its best man in the fray. But in the presant race
the dispropo-tion-the wide contrast between Har-
ris and Hatton is SO plainly marked-that the con-
test possesses little of that exciting interest which
previous Gubernatorisl contests created. The peo-
pie felt that between Harris and Hatton lay the
difference between the giant and the pigmy;-the
one an accomplished orator and statesman of ex-
pansive views-the other a vertable bag of school
boy gas; the veriest sort Of trifer. He does not
even possess the merit of a eharlatan. With the
smallest modicum of smattering in politics. pom.
pous, self.sufHcient manner-extremely arrogant
he is no more able to grapple with great questions
and enlighten the people than person greatly more
ignorant. But you will see him tomorrow and
know fOryourselves whether my judgment is right
or whether it is warped by partizan prejudice
will not, this late day in the canvass, attempt
even a synopsis of the speeches. 1t is enough to
say that Gen. Harris enforced and defended the
principles and measures of the Democratic party
with power and vigor excelled before by any
of our great leaders. He disposed of the dstribu-
ton humbug with few words, aud then he grappled
with the rotten old carcass of Tennessee Know
Nohngism, puncured its sinking Sores and let out
the foul stencil until it "smelt to heaven" Phewl
have little or nothing to say about Hatton's
speech. Nobody was satisfied with it except the
Democrats, and they were delighted 1t is note
worthy that he attempted no defence of Know Moth
ingism. We do not remember that he alluded to it
once. Harris made it " smell" so that probably the
stencil oyercame his nerves.
In conclusion, would say that ail's right here

CORRESPONDENCE.

LEBANON, July 20, 1857.
The candidates for Governor spoke here to-day to
very large crowd Gen. Harris led off in one of the
ablest speeches have ever heard from mortal man
He discussed the questions at issue with such clear
ness and force that it seemed TO me that every i'm
partial mind was compelled to adopt his arguments
and conclusions. And he is certainly one of the
finest men l ever met-sO modest and unassuming
in his department that he cannot fail to make the
impression upon all with whom he comes in contact
that he is possessed of the breeding of the high
toned gentleman. His friends here were perfectly
delighted with him. They had seen him climbing
the mountains and threading the valleys in defence
of civil and religious liberty, and when he returned
among US with the flag of our fathers unstained,
with it covered al over with the insignia of victo.
rivs won upon a hundred fells, we were perfectly
jublant and with clappng of hands, ready to shout
well done thou good and faithful servant, thou
hast been faithful over few things, we will make
thee ruler over many"
Mr. HattOn's speech was made up of catch-words
wit icisms, anecdotes and vulgar epithets. His
manner was that of the bragadocio, perfectly dis
gushing to every man of refinement The most re-
markable feature of the day was the presentation
of bouquet. So soon as the speaking was over,
Col. Jordan Stokes bounced upon the stand, and
standing over Gen. Harris, in a speech of fulsome
adulation, presented a bouquet to Mr.. Hatton, in
honor of the victories which he had gained over his
opponent. | do not believe that any animal but a
Know Nothing could be guilty of such eoarseness,
of such violation Of all prOpriety and taste. The
gentleman spoke of Ivanhoe. l think he might
have been benefited by studying the character of
ROderic Dhu by the same author. l suggest that
if it does not improve his general taste he will at
least learn something of the laws of hospitality by
reading Roderic's address to his deadly enemy
that came TO his camp:
g It rests with me to wind my horn,
Thou art with numbers overborne:
II rests with me- here, brand to brand
Worn thou art, to bid thee stand:
But not for clan nor kindred cause
viii depart from hOnOrs laws"
Gen. Harris was perfectly composed during the |
proceedings and seemed to be philosophising upon
the raly of man and the viated taste of the leaders
of place which claims to be the home of colleges
and academies. We intend to give Gen Harris a |
very large vote in this county. He will make a |
gain of some two three hundred.

The Patriot says that Gen Harris has taken his
position in favor Of alien suffrage in the territories.
Now we deny this mos. unequiyocally. Gen. Harris
has not done this, nor has any Democrat whom we
have ever heard Of What thePatriot calls alien
s1hrages not alien suHrage and in this consist to

has declared on oath his intention of becoming a

THE KNOW NoTHiNGS PROCESSING DEvo.

The St. Louis Republican, an able old line Wing

beginning to characterize the Southern Know Moth
ings, says: ave have so often expressed our total
disapprobation of The formation of Southern par
ty, taat We need not dwell upon it now We behave
thera is call for itno necessity for itthat the
National party which proved itself adequate to the
emergency when Northern sectiOnalism menaeed the
country with revolution and ruin, will still be suF
hcient in any future crisis. The conservative por-
ton OF the North, together with the South, are
combination too strong for the enemies Of the Con-
sti'ution and the Sectonaliss of the North. If the
Know Nothings of the South, instead of distracting
and dividing the force of the National party, would
make common cause with it, instead of proclaim
ing beforehand their approaching disappearance in
an extreme Southern party, they would exhibit
patriotism and love of the Republic as it is, entitled
to the confidence of all in the North and South and
East and West, who honor the Constitution and
cherish the Union"

Ia Know Nothngism was organised on very
magnificent scale. The difficulty has been in the
carrying of it ont Its founders intended that all
that oaths, secrecy and wrong could accomplish,
should be done. The tenth rule of their National
State Council, passed Nov. 1854, is as follows:
RULE l0.-Each State, district or territorial coun-
Gil shall be tzsd Jour cents per aRau for every mem
Der in good standing belonging TO each subordinate
council under its jurisdiction the LIST day Of
April, which shall be reported TO the National Coun-
Gil, and paid into the national treasury on or before
the first day of its annual session, to be held in
June; and on the same day in each succeeding
year. And the first fiscal year shall be considered
as commencing on the first day of December, 1854,
and ending on the 10Th day of May, 1856.
This fund was to be used exclusively by the Ma
tional Council Every State and subordinate coun-
Gil had to impose a separate tax. Many member
will no doubt remember paying the one dollar init
alton fee.
Mr.. Fillmore, in the last Presidential contest, re-
ceiVed only eight hundred thousand votes. When
this rule was passed they no doubt calculated on
FIVE times that number. And yet ills four cents
tax, levied according to the vote given for Mr. Fill
MORE would secure to the National Council an annu-
al fund of hrty-t,co thousand dollars! This in four
years would supply the National Council alone with
treasury of Sl28, OOO!!! as corruption fund for
the Presidential contest This was certainly an in
genius device for buidingup amoneyed power in the
country for political purposes. Fortunately it has
failed of success Those who invented the scheme
miscaIculated the American chara ,ter. and relied
too much upon the supposed ignorance and corrupt
bity of the masses. The thing has met with
most shameful failure, and those who engaged il
the plot seeking to escape its odium. Know

United States rather careless of their lives when
travelling, but they are great deal more careless of

rapidity. Under the law of New York all such I'M

bundles and packages of every size and description
About Ole-half OF these not marked in any way,
