GEN. HASKELL FOR GOVERNOR.


1t seems from the papers and their cor
respondents, that che American party will
run Gen. Haskell fer Governor. Well, SO
faras we are concerned, we will go the fig
urc with real good cheer. And 80 many Of
the people will goit, that the Democracy
will g fear and tremblc' for the RESULT
Democrats are already snecriagly saying
that he drinks liquor Yes, and so do a
majority Of the voters in this STATED They
say he is poor and unable to make the Can
vassl Yes, he is man Of no fortune and
a majority of the voters Of this State are as
poor as he is, and don't believe that power
ty is a crimel They say he is an Old Line
Wing, that Whiggery is dead, and that he
died with it! Yes, and thought he was
dead when Pillow ordered his Regiment to
the most bloody and fearful charge made
in the Mexican War. True, Haskell's Reg
iment was cut and shot literally to pieces,
and he at its head, had his hat shot off and
continued the fight bare headed, and come
off alive. This vile and slanderous party
may lie and SANDER the hat off of his head
in this canvass, but he will go through ii
bare headed, and come out GOVERNOR
OF TENNESSEE, waving his sword in tri
umph, like he did in that terrible battle
He out fought any man in the Democratic
party, when in the Mexican War. He can
ont speak any man in their ranks in Ten
nessee. And he will out poll any man they
have before the people.
We say 100 guns for Haskell, and the
cry of the people is, Amea.- KnonuiHt
Wing.

KANSAS. Geary has expressed the
opinion that Kansas will adopt slave con-
stitution. A sensible and apparently fair
and impartial correspondent of the. ST.
Louis Republican, written from St.
Josephs, under date of the 18th says:
The emigration to Kansas reminds nae
of that TO California in the days Of its
greatest nllurements. Trains upon trains
are pouring in from every quarter, but
particularly from the free States. I had
once thought, as used to write YOU. that
Kansas would be a slave State, but am
now forced to alter my opinion from the
overwhelming evidences to the contrary
that force themselves upon me every day.
Our ferryboats are busily engaged from
daylight until dark in carrying over trains,
and the proportion of freesoil to the pro-
slavery emigrants is as fifteen to one
This is not confined alone to our point of
crossing, but it is so at every other that I
can hear from, and it satisfies me that the
political destiny of Kansas is fixed beyond
all question, and that another year will fill
all Of her prolific with a thrifty popula-
ton. Wars and rumors of wars she will
know no more, but peace will brood over
her beautiful praires and prosperity will
reign throughout her borders. I am a
proslavery man, and would prefer to see
my favorito institution establish there; but
am, nevertheless, convinced, that the
energetic, enterprising Yankee will develop
the resources and build up the country
sooner than we could do, and that by living
in harmony with them as our neighbors
they will do us no injury in our peculiar
property.

Bay In view Of the heavy taxes imposed
upon the people ofVirginia, and the unfn-
ished state of some of its most important
improvements, the Richmond Wing earn
cstly, ably and wisely advocates an equit-
able division Of the public lands, or their
proceeds, among the older, as well as the
younger States This measure ofjustice-.
so long withheld by thieving demagogues,
who steal the public domain to buyup new
States-has q warm advocate in James Buc-
hanan, and we hope that this fact, if not a
sense Of right, will incline the old States to
insist upon their equitable share of a pub
lie property which is being so rapidly squan-
dered for purposes of party corruption.
Tennessee, though not yet very heavily
burdened with taxes, has many valuable
improvements to make, and there is no rea
son why she should not have aid from the
General Government, as we'll as those States
that almost live upon its bounty, and repay
southern demagogues, who help to support
them, by multiplying abolitionists, al
most vote for acre. We hope the candi-
dates of the American party, in this State,
will make this an issue in the approaching
canvass and should they do so, we antic-
pate no opposition from Democracy, on this
question, since their President is its long
and consistent advocate.

peA- The Ohio Legislature has passed a
law forbidding the use of the jails of the
State, for the security of captured fugi-
tive slaves. Now is very pretty time to
d close southern ports to Ohio productions,
and to pass law against the collection of
debts due from citizens of Southern States
to those Of Ohio. The late decision of the
Supreme Court seems to have phrenzied the
fanaticism Of Ohio, and some such measures
as above indicated are now needed to con
vince its fanatics that the South has rights
and dares maintain them. BY the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court, "red head wills
key and thrashing machines, are no more
property than slaves, and if the theft of the
latter, by nOrtlerncrs, is legalized by law,
we know ofno remedy but rcprisals. We
would like to see boat load of Ohio trum-
perry cmptied like the tea at Boston, into
the Cumberland, just to see how the thing
would work. OF one thing, we are certain
1t lSW icpollNipho VI buS uCt) ~ lilc NdTl-
Gus southern ports, would soon repeal the
law alluded to. Northern fanatcism may
bca very deep and earnest feeling, but
love ofmoney lisa deeper, and when pecu-
mary interest is brought to bear against
mad philanthropy, the latter will yield
without struggle.
Since the Supreme Court has decided
that slaves are not made free by escaping
into, or being carried through, free States,
IT has become, more impcritively, the duty
of tho President to enforce the fugitive
slayplaw And we are curious to see how
Buchanan will deport himsolf-should an
occasion arisc-towards the State ofOhio,
which has thus bid defiance to Congress,
the Constitution and the Federal Court
Wearo curious to see, too, how the fanat-
les will dispose of the claim they have set
up, for tho slave, to the rightof trial by ju-
ny, since the Federal Court has decided
that u slave-cyen though claiming to- be
froe-cannot sue in any of the courts OF
the United States.

THE PROCEEDS OF THE PUBLIC LANDS -
Senator BELL, just at the close of the past
session Of Congress, offered bill provi-
ding for the distribution of portion of
the avails of the public lands among States
that never received grants for railway pur-
poses. Senator BELL is an unfinching
American, and his measure received the
cordial support of every American in the
Senate and House. 1t is a measure calcu-
lated to do partial justice to the old States
who had been drained Of their wealth and
population by the free land bOunties so
freely offered for years past. The old
States have been swindled out of their
share of common inheritance, which has
been given to aliens and donated to mon
ster corporations.
The New England States while they
have furnished large share of the means
and the men which have created New
States, have received nothing in return
We believe that at least seventy-fve per
cent, of the ayails of all land sales should
be distributed among such States as have
never asked for, or received donations for
railways or public works, and we hope the
American Press every where will advocate
and endorse measure so evidently cor
rect CmciHaad Times.

SALE OF RAIL ROAD BONDS.

Mr.. EDITOR: Casually glancing at the
advertisements in the in the Chronicle Of
last week, | saw the above notice for the
sale of $4,000, County and City Bonds on
the 18th of April. saw neither note nor
comment, by yourself nor any one, in re-
gard to the importance of the sale, to the
progress of the Road nor the profits in the
investments, orprofts for paying taxes in
the city or county. Suppose the Bonds
sell for so cents-the buyer will get on each
Bond for ss00-$1OoO; and the interest on
the $1,000, payable every six months in
New York, worth per cent premium
Suppose they sell for IS cents-then the
buyer gets, for $750-S1000 thus making
clear profit of25 per cent at the start, and
interest on the whole thousand, at IS cents
to the dollar, the interest to the buyer will
be per cent, per annum, besides yielding l
per cent premium Of exchange, only
suggest these figures as a basis for calcula-
ton, to any one who feels an interest in
making an investment. IF the Bonds
should not sell for the amounts suggested,
the ratio of profit will be greater or less,
according to the amountfor which they sell.
This is rare opportunity for any one to
provide himself with certain and profita-
bic investment, that will yield him sure
income at good rates-all other operations
are subject to uncomfortable vicissitudes of
trade and the seasons. The basis for pay
ing the Bonds of the Comfy is about (s10,-
00,OO0,) ten millions of taxable property
The City, about one and half millions
Our County and City are comparatively out
of debt The wealth of both is rapidly in
creasing, and have no hesitation in be-
lieving that the county will buy uph her own
Bonds, long before they are due, to stop the
interest indeed, the County could now
adopt system of taxation, at less than
Davidson county pays, and soon pay off her
Bonds. Some counties of the State have
adopted this course. Besides the induce
ments to invest, in our Bonds, as a matter
of profit, look at the good that will result to
the Road now about 400 men at work and
the number increasing. All acknowledge
the great advance of property, attributed
materially to the prospect of the Road, and
unless the Bonds find a market at home,
they will be sold abroad and finally some
Millionaire, of Europe, will call for the
whole amount of the Bonds, with the inter
est, meantime acting as drain on our pock.
cts, every six months. Let those who have
taxes to pay, buy Bond, and those who
wish to lie abed and grow rich buy S, 10 or
20 and he will soon be rich and will have
the pride, and pleasure to know, he has
made money, aided the Road and kept the
sharper's hand, from abroad, out of his
pocket. l have been prompted to make
these suggestions, as many persons do not
seem to understand the subject, and to ava
ken an inquiry, which, hope will profit
all whe may take an interest in it and pro-
mote the great enterprise, which brings the
Bonds into market. l am clearly of the
opinion that as community our present
and future interest will be promoted by
buying up our Bonds at home.
