tines IS much tax as the banker pays -upa5 the
capital with Whichhs buys bills and sells exchange
% the public. Mr.. Hatton thought differently, how
ever, and voted against this bin Of simple justice to
the farmer,
Such matters as these were no doubt regarded as
Of small concern by Mr.. Hatton. He may NOT have
been able to have let his statesmanlike comprehen-
sion down to any thing of smaller magnitude than a
railroad or stock company, with their hundreds OF
thousand Of dollars capital. He may have thought
it undignihed for one Of his rank in legislative
councils to have encouraged mattersso trivial ana
commonplace in their character. If so, 1t Is right
here that we differ with Mr.. Hatton The mechale,
With his small transactions Of five or six hundred dot
lars and the farmer VITA s small interests Of the
same character, are, in our Judgment just as much
entitled to the deliberaton Of gentlemen of legsla-
tive dignity. as are the mammoth enterprises Of
capital controlled by corporations And the votes Of
pnbiie men upon these matters Of 90 small concern "
as clearly indicate the political complexion Of the
man as if they involved matters Of thousands times
the amount. Principle is principle, we care not
where it is fopnd.
It is only necessary for the people Of Tennessee to
understand the political complexion of Mr.. HattUn
Ito properly ''Iooate him, as Gov. Johnson would
sayto secure for him. in the approaching election,

A WORN OLE CArrInN

We did not at the time, nor do we now, believe
that Mr.. Hatton nominated by the Know Moth
ings with any expectation of his elections but with
the view Of aiding them in their election Of mem
bers to the Legislature. We bave believed that in
doubtful counties efforts would be made to swap
him of to strengthen the local candidate We have
received intmations within the last few days that
this game is already beginning to manifest itself
We desireto commence in time and put our friends
upon their guard against any such trickery. Watch
the enemy and see that no such card is played any
of your counties. This is not Democratic way Of
fighting and Democrats should not suffer themselves
to be invegled into it. Let US have no swapping.
Vote the clean ticket and none other If we cannot
succeed without gambling, success will do US no
good. But there viii be no necessity for buying
Know Nothings votes for Gen. Harris by trading Off
your county candidates. You have only to mar
shall your full strength see that all our voters get
to the polls and we will carry every thing-Gover-
nor, Congressman and the Legislature.
But let US not be misunderstood. We would not
encourage that over-confdence so often fatal to
cess. We feel that the most we have now to con-
tend against is that apathy which such Over-cOnf-
dence too often begets. We must bring ont The Uote.
We know that the great majority Of the voters, in
sentiment, with US, but that will avail us nothing
it, from any cause they should fail to get to the bal
lot box.
Let our friends in each county see to this. We
have reason to believe that the opposition, with the
aid.of Mr.. Bell, are efeeting most thorough or
ganizstOn Of their party throughout the State Su-
perior organization and deception all they have
to rely upOn and be they will make the most Of
it. We trust that every thorough Democrat will feel
specially called upon to act in this matter, and that
their zeal may manifest itself in the result of the
ensuing election.

WHERE is Holm RELLl

We see frequent calls made upon Hon. John Bell
asking him to fulfill his promise Of taking the stump
in the present canvass and defending his course in
the United Stoes Senate upon his votes on the
Kansas-Nebraska Bill, and as yet we hear of and
see no list Of appointments made out We hope the
recent decision Of the Supreme Court viii in no way
interfere with his expressed determinations. And
then his distribution scheme what he introduced into
the Senate, and which at the time, he said he saw
no hope of being carried out-needs to be defended
The people know that it was a plain gotten up for
the express purpose Of hiding the deformiiies Of
'SqHs and that don't take The people are making
the issues Of the present canvass upon the principles
advocated in the canvass of two years ago-the
principles Of the Know Nothing order. VIII Col.
Bell come out and meet the people upon these
issues We have speakers who viii kindly relieve
Mr. Bell of half of his time, and thus the canvass
will be comparatively light his physical energies.
We know that the name of Mr.. Bell has beeu highly
eulogized by some of the Black Republican papers
of the North, but that makes no difference. VIII

Z To be Editors Of The Union md Acerieqn.
GEsTLEmES: Tbe canvass for Congress in this
district between Nessrs. Avery and Stephens was
opened at MedOn, Madison oountys on Monday, the
22d inst The result of chat days discussion con-
frmed me in the opinion / had already formed-that
Mr.. Avery is fun match for Mr. Stephens, and
that he viii defeat him by not less than 500 votes
The discussion was commenced by Avery. His
speech was the happest effort Of his life. It was
unanswerable. and took his opponent al, abaek. He
has gained at the start prestige over stephens,
from which that gentleman viii not recover during
the canvass Avery was pointed and buoyant
throughout eloquent. he is wide-awake
man, well posted in The politics Of the day; he is
also one Of the people, and his popular manners
walk right into their affections He is emphatcal-
ly the architect of his own fortunes By his speech
and bearing at Medon on the 22d aud at Mt. Pinson
to-day he gave the Democracy evidence that he was
worthy to bear their banner, and that, although a
boy in appearance, he is giant in intellect.
Most ably and eloquently did he state his own po-
sition and sentiments--most successfully and adj
rotly did he anticipate those Of his competitor and
parry them. His review of the Know Nothing par
ty was whitening, crushing triumphant I belive
that before August he viii convert his opponent and
make a tolerable good Democrat Of him. He has
already nearly done so-has driven him to the wall,
and forced him to renounee things that he published
to the world last summer in certain ''Willow
Banks letter that first appeared in Brownlows pa
per. have no time for more at present. We are
bound to gain a member in this district-Set that
down in your book of inconTOyertible facts. At a
future day l may undertake to give you the points
at issue between Avery and Stephens. The Democ-
racy here enhusiastie-they could not be other
wise, for Tom Avery has a way Of infusing his own
enthusiastic soul into every body he meets.

The New York correspondent of the Washing

The New York correspondent of the Washington
States, says:
Wallack's theatre was thronged last evening by
one of the largest audiences Of the season, whose
attention was about equally divided between Miss
Eliza Logan the star of the stage, and Gen Wal
ker, the star of the boxes. The entrance Of the
General, in company with Gen. Henningsen and
lady, was greeted with enthusiastic demonstrations
from all parts Of the house, the ladies waving their
handkerchiefs, and the gentlemen cheering tumul-
tuously. While the curtain down, after the
close Of the second act, the General, rising in
Spouse to a long continued call, addressed the au-
dience as follows
Permit me, in returning my thanks to you for
these expressions Of your sympathy, to refer to
scene painted by the great dramatic poet Of the cen
fury When JEANNE Deans went to the Duke Of
Argyle 70 beg the life of her sister, she the
tartan Of her country; after pressing her suit with
impassiOned earnestness, she said TO the Duke,
thought your Gracc's heart would warm at the sight
of the tartan He answered, When the heart Of
Maccullum More ceases to warm at the sight Of the
tartan may it cease to beat and lie cold under the
sod And l say now, When this heart shall cease
10 beat In favor Of the liberties and institutions Of
my native land, and to such marks Of approval of
my cOuntrymen, may II cease to beat, and lie cold
under the sod"

BSg@ The National American party in the North
ern States is true to the platform and principles and
purposes of the party enunciated by the National
Convention in this city a few weeks since. Altho
in the minority, they stand up boldly and ndepen-
IDENTIFY for their principles and make coalitions,
but patiently and heroioally await the time when INC
conservatives of all other parties will come to them
and rally around the American standard. This time
is not far off. The splittin. off Of the Banks fac
ton from the Republicans of Massachusetts and
their effort to assume the name of the American
party is indication Of the movement that's going
on all over the Northern States.-JouTHaI.
Now, can any enc tell what that means-the
splitting off of the Banks faction from the Republic
cans The Republican party nominated Banks
There is no splitting off from them. They and
Banks are Know Nothings They add the horror of
slavery to the two American horrors-foreigners and
the Pope. Nobody has heard of the Republican
party's splitting at all It is only small splinter
of Americans that threaten to split off from Banks

A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY IN THE WAY OF
ABOLISHING POLYGANY.

The Charleston Mercury calls attention to great
practical difficulty in the way of Congress nterer-
ing with the Mormon system Of pluralityNof wives,
in.the Territory Of Utah. It says:
POlygamy, as it is called among the Mormons, IS
only cOncubinage. No form of marriage is execU-
ted between the parties. Brigham Young, or one
of the elders, says to woman that she is sealed
to such a man, and she goes and lives with him.
Brigham calls all who are sealed to him wives, but
they are only concubines. Now, is there any law Of
the United States making concubinage a crime?
Some Of the States make adultery punishable Of
fence in their courts. But there is no such law en-
acted by Congress for the Territories, nor made by
Utah for the people which inhabit its Territory.
The concubinage of Mormonism may, therefore,
continue in existence with the full authority Of the
United States in this Territory.

AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Supreme Court of
Rhode Island, on Saturday, the 18th, decided that
bank could not be taxed its capital stock if the
shares thereof were taxed the personal property
Of the holders, because it would be a double tax
The suit which this decision madeWas brought
by the American bank and the Providence Institute
for Savings against the city Of Providence, to re-
cover certain taxes alleged to have been illegally
assessed upon and collected Of those corporations
in the years 1865 and 1856. Under this decision
the Journal says, the city will have to refund the
rious banks and savings institutions more than
twenty thousand dollars with interest upon the
whole sum from the time Of payment. It is alto
gether the largest amount for which judgment has
ever been rendered Cgainst the city. The deciciOn
also strikes from the assessed value of the city near
ly a million and half of dollars.
