taaon' and indicate growing resolve at the
South to be no longer trifed with on slavery
issues or by huckstering politicians. It's the
hrst practical and emphatic maintenance of the
celebrated Georgia Platform" and places the

establishment. The house in which Napole.
en- resided has been converted into farm.
oWid'ng; barn stands in the place where
he dictated his ideas: and the room where
he breathcd his last is now converted into a
stable. His tomb has also undergone de-
plorable transformations. The ground 10
which the remains of the Emperor lay be-
longs to a private individual; American
speculation disputes tho possession Of it with
the patriotism of France. 1t was necessary
to put All end to these profanations. The
Government Of her Britannia Majesty inter-
posed its good Offices to enable France to
purchase these reics-a testimony of so
much grandeur and Of such great suffering.
Thanks to its intervention, the domain OF
the State will extend beyond the ocean to
that land where uncqualled destinies were
accomplished. Under the preceding Gov
ernment the shore where St. Louis expired
in the regency Of Tunis, near ancient Car.
athage. ws consecrated by mausoleum. A
homage as striking will be rendered to the
Emperor, who died under the sun of the
tropics. Two great souvenirs will thus be
raised at the two cxtrcmitics of that African
land which our arms have opened to civiliz-
alton. Places visited by glory have their
immortality, like heroes. Marked by an
unexasnpled event, the small Island of St.
Helena is, in the midst of the sea, an bis.
torlcal monument. Nothing will ever efface
it from the memory of man. The Imperial
Louvre will not eclipse the house at Long
wood, nor will the crypt at the Invaides
throw oblivion on tho Atlantic tomb. The
whole Of France will thus unite in the au-
gust solitude which surrounds with fresh
veneration these profancd relics, aud rescue
them from mercantile degrations to restore
them to the picty of history.

Fight Between Candidates for Governor.

Fight Between Candidates for Governor
very pretty fight came off ut Fayetteville
Tenn, on Saturday week between Gen. I. G.
Harris and Col. Robert 1Iatton, candidates for
the Goyernorship Of that State--the former
representing the Democ rntic and tile latter the
owNothing party. Col. Hatton was speak
ing, and as the statement of the friends of both
parties to whom the matter was referred for
adjustment. says:
The friends of Col. Hatton understood him
to have declared "that the doctrine that th
alien, the unnnturalized man from the old
world, who has no claims upon our country
no rights here. shall come to our country and
rule and govern it. is on iniquity that smells t.
heaven" And that when Gen. Harris iuquir
ed whether he intended to apply such Ian.
gunge to him. after a short colloquy, he re.
pcated nearly the same declaration, that tn,
doctrine was Infamous. and "thnt those who
advocated it, advocated doctrine that is infa
nous and smells to heaven"
The friends of Gen. Harris understood Col.
lIntton MS assuming that Gen. Harris favored
the policy of ofallowing unn nturalzed foreign
ers to vote in Tennessee for members of Con
gress, &c., and that this policy he denounced
as Infamous, that it was rank and smelled te
heaven" &c.
Gen. Harris then asked Col Hatton If he in
tended to apply the term .tnfa,nous" to him
Ills answer was. I'D" yon expect to intn,date
me by commins forward and asking this qucs
tlen :" Gen. Harris answered, "By no means
do not wish to intimidate any gentleman
out have right to know whether you ap-
ply the term infamous to me or not" To
which Col IIatton responded, 'Then it is nm
explanation that you want" To which Gen.
Harris replied. THAT is all that l want. I
only desire to know whether you intend to An.
ply TINT term to me-" To which Col IIatton re-
plic'l, "Fell"w-citizcns. repeat that the policy
Is infamous. rank nnd smells to heaven, and
those who advocate it. are" At this point
Gen. Harris struck him.
This lis oil the statement declares, as far as
the facts are concerned, but from the publish.
ed accounts in the newspapers, it seems that
Gen. Harris knocked his opponent Off the stage,
and q brief scutllr ensucd between them. when
they were separated without scrioIs injury.
G"l. iiatton then went again upon the stand
and resumed his speech, but made no allusion
whatever to the difficulty.
The friends Of the parties from whose '.state
ment" an extract is above, "are satisfied tha,
1t resulted from n mutual misunderstanding be
tween the partes-that each acted upon mis-
conception of tho language and intention Of
the other, and that, therefore, both have occa.
sion t" regret the unpleasant alteration tool
place. The difficulty was therefore adjusted,
and the two candidates spoke together a.

of the scene, and the sublimity Of their devo-
