THE 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DloIh1O1.
That the democracy Of the Mountain District de-
serve more than passing notice at our hands, let
g few facts be submitted to a candid people.
In IS51-52 the infamous Henrymander was per
petrated. 1t detached the democratic counties of
0verton and Fentress from and attached the strong
wbir counties Of Smith and Macon TO, the 4th Com
gressional District-thus securing wing major
ity Of 200. The authors of this nefarOus work fat
tered themselves with the belief that the democrats
would not be able to achieve Congressional victory
in ten long years. and the bright visions that fitted
before the eyes of Gen VIM. Cullum pointed to a
full decade of Congressional service. He became
proud, impudent and dictatorial He may not have
thought that he had the world in swing, but he
certainly believed that he had this district in his
breeches pocket. Poor man, how rapidly the scales
we're made to fall from his eyes. In the first cleo
ton, under the Henrymander, his boosted majority
of sevG1 hundred dwindled down to thirty twoi-
He Won the race, but his competitor, Col Garden

out Of his senses. Then the democracy were full
Of confidence that they would beat him in the next
heat. lie went to Washington-took the Black
Republican side of the Kansas Nebraska question;
raved and ranted TO the infinite delight of Seward
Hale and Giddings; and it really did seem at one
time that he was about to be made the Black Repub
Lean candidate for the Presidency Sure it is that
he received compliments By wholesale from the
eaders Of that party. They stuffed him with blair
uey to such extent, that he considered Daniel
Webster scarcely his equal; and that he could beat
down all opposition in this district. But thanks to
The iudomitable democracy, he soon found out that
he was wofully mistaken The Hon. John II. Saw
age met him on every part of the ground, exposed
his Congressional career, and triumphed over him
by majority of four hundred and twenty votes

Now we come to the last race in the Fourth Con-
sressional District. 1t shows the mighty change
hat has been wrought in the minds Of the people
since the date Of the Henrymander. 1t shows what
an be effected by a steady adherence to correct
principles, and by an active performance of demo
cratic duty Ii teaches lesson that the Donelsons
he Picketts, aud all such, should never forget du-
ring the remainder of their lonesome days.
The democracy of the Mountain District are en-
tiled TO the honor of having given their candidate
or Governor, Gen. Isham G.. Harris, majority of
fifteen hundred votes; the candidate for Congress,
he gallant Savage, twelve hundred; and Of elect
lng five members out Of eight TO the Legislature
What say our friends Of the other Henrymandered
districts? Can any of you show such a democratic
gain as this-a gain Of twenty-five hundred votes,
githin the past five years. If you can, gentlemen,
Just make your exhibit and we will acknowledge

AFFAIRS IN KANSAS

Genl Whitfield, the late delegate in Congress from
Kansas, Is now in the city of New York His opin
on Is, as We learn, that there will be no further
rOuble in the Territ Try between the United States
authorities and the free State party The collection
Of taxes under the Territorial laws had proceeded
quietly The sherfs had found no difficulty with the
free State men in the discharge of their duties in
The counties where they had acted. Tha free State
men were prompt and ready to pay, while the sber-
ifs were often obliged to hunt up pro-slavery men
In Leavenworth they were sought after by the tax
payers. The sherifs are now collecting taxes in
Douglas county. In Lawrence alone the free State
men have manifested disposition to resist the col
lection of taxes.
At the election Of members of the Legislature
and of Delegate to Congress, which will take place
on the first Monday in October, there may be some
collisions at the polls, particularly as there will not
be sufficient number Of United States troops 10 aid
Gov. Walker IN keeping the peace at every place
here viii not be than a thousand United
States troops in the Territory, for Col Summers
alanlaIi, AZ Bcnt's Port, cannot reach Kansas
in time.
If the Democratic party were united they would
prevail at the election. But this, unfortunately. is
not the case. The Georgians and Carolininns are
llsaueotcd, and many others may be deferred from
going to the polls. The tendency of things at nre
sent Is towards triumph of the free State marty at
the election. Mr.. Ransom, the candidate of the
Democratic party for Congress is not generally Don.
u.ar, and cannot command full Democratic vote. =

GAME FISH En

4 very sensible writer in the Nashville q Union
rI.# american has just concluded a series of inter-
esting articles on the protection Of Game and Fish
IN Tennessee. We are pleaced to learn that the
articles will som beissued in pamphlet form, and
copy delivered TO each member of our Legislature
There Is certainly great necessity for some laws TO
be passed TO put stop to the wholesale destruction
OF every species OF Game, and the dragging out all
manner Of Fishes in our water courses until there
shall be none left TO represent their species 1t
must be apparent to every reasonable man that there
are certain months in the year when Game and Fish
should be unmolested and a so, that there are ways
Of taking them that should be abandoned. A Legis.
lative enactment embodyiDg these two points would
be legitimate and equitable.-Chat GGzette

WHAT WE EAT.-The Rochester Democrat chroni-
cles the arrest of butcher in that city for blowing
meat. Blowing meat is thus described:
The process consists in inserting hollow tube,
such quill pipe stem, in quarter of veal or
lamb, and them with the breath Of the operator in
fahng the fatty part of the meat to the greatest
possible extent. 1t will at once be seen that while
this process may add to the attractiveness of the
meat, it scarcely improve its flavor or quality
Fancy man whose breath is a compound of the
fumes Of toboceO whisky, with the addition per
haps, of partially decayed teeth filling nice quar-
ter Of lamb with such villainous stencil, and who
would. knowingly, buy OF eat meat afterWard?
