FOrney.

The Louisville JouTHal and the Nashville Banner
have recently devoted much Of their space to the
re publication Of the speeches Of JoHE W FoRSET
These documents have nothing to recommend them
70 our Know Nothing content orsries, except their
coarse, scurrlOus assaults upon the supporters Of
the LeeomptOn Constitution and their false and I'M
serupulous charges against Mr.. BUoHAHAE and his
cabinet. FoBEET never found much favor with
these journals, when he acting with the Nation
al Democracy in support Of the constitutional rights
Of the South. Neither the Banner nor the Journal
considered his statements ss entitled to the slightest
oredence or respect when he was exerting himself
to defeat JOHN C. FREMOET in the Presidential
test Of 1856. Up to the time when he Joined the alb
otionists no eptheis too abusiyeto be applied
to himby these journals and every person who pre-,
suned to attach the slightest credit to any state
ment Of his was booted at. No sooner however,
does FoRHEE join the abOlilionists than wonderful
change comes over these papers. All at once he is
worthy of full credit with them, and becomes 'amar
Vellous proper man"
It seems to us that mere policy should dictate
different to our opponents, if higher feel
ings can actuate them. The opposition should re-
member that, while Mr.. BUoHANAE is n0minally at

from the success of FoREEY's treaohery He lie, for
the moment, the leader of the Black Republican
forces, in their assaults on Southern rights Such
being the fact how mOnstrous the conduct Of those
who, to crafty their hatred and spite towards
Democratic administration, hug 70 their loving en-
braces the reoreant whom they have heretofore de-
nouneed for everything vile, aud who is the same
man now that be was when they thus denounced
him, except that he now adds to his former vices
those Of the traitor and spostate.

The Currency Question,

A few weeks ago, number of Democrats from
different portions Of Tennessee met in Nashville,
and agreed upon the following propositions:
l. That 1t would be uRWise policy to Techarter
any Of the existing Banks.
9 That such reforms should be made in the cur
rency during the existence Of the present Banks as
will insure a sound circulstiT medium convertible
at all times into gold and silver
8. That the several Banks as their respective
charters shall expire, should 20 out of existence,
and such steps should be taken, consistently with
the public interest, as will secure the liquidation of
the Bank Of Tennessee at the expiration Of its
charter
The Cleveland Banner is the only paper profess
ing to be democratic, in which we have an eX~
preston of opposition to these propositions. That
paper thinks the object of the meeting to be an ex
elusive metallic currency, and to this it is opposed
as q dreadful thing. OF these propositions the
GAINESVILLE JefsrSoHiaH says:
eff the suggestions thrown out by the great
lights Of the party, who were in that meeting are
adopted by the Democratic party in the State, we
shall "a pidy approach sound currency, based upon
god and silver The present condition Of our curN
rency, and the occasional explosion Of one Of those
rag establishments called Banks, about our ears,
reminds US that the Banking system is rotten and
unreliable, and will not DO to rely upon. The
Democratic party has undertaken 10 correct the
abuses Of the present system, and this is the first
step in the work Of reform
The following paragraph on the same subject is
from the Chattanooga AdUsrtEssr.
"Ihe propositions submitted by the Committee
and approved by such Of the Democracy as were
present al the family gathering, we need not say
will meet with the hearty approval of the masses
throughout the entire State, both Democrats Wings
and Americans-indeed, we have heard msnv ex.
pressons Of approval Of the sentiment contained
in the three propositions from various Quarters.
The people, the honest, hard working people the
producing farmer and labOring mechanic, have be-
come heartily tired of the shameful imposirions
praoticed upon Them by the almost monthly failure
or suspension Of some Tennessee bank. We have
had, and now have, too many Of these incorpora-
ted institutions called banks-properly broker and
paper shops, whose stock is subscribed and owned
BY non residents Of the State, and who engage in.
and carry on the business for sefproft at auy ex-
pense and sacrifice of the people. We are pleased
70 see moving among the masses in regard TO this
question, and though the proposition put forth are
mild aad perhaps too much SO, yet they will serve
as a basis upon which the people may begin to
move "-MurfreeSbor Ns5rs.

We are able to assure the public who, in addi-
ton to the other attractions of the fair DESTROYS
of listening the addresses, that Gov. HARRIS will
deliver the opening address on Monday, and that
Gov. A Y. Brown will deliver the annual address
on Tuesday Of the fair week On Friday, the
scholars of the public schools, thousand in
number, accompanied by their teachers viii attend

premium for these schools, if for nothing else.
It is hard to tell our country friends which will be
the best day Of the fair 1t has been the design
Of the directors to diuse the interest through the
whole week, and we think they have succeed
ed in arranging the programme to accomplish this
purpose The fair promises to be better attended
than ever before and from the entries already made
with the secretary, cannot be otherwise the than
eminently successful
The n Y Herald, in a notice Of the fairs Of the
eastern States, well says that ''peOPle have begun
to appreciate these gatherings and our sgricUltu-
rists particularly seem to realize fully the benefits
which they derive from seeing the best specimens Of
the produce and stock of the farms They acquire
an immense fund Of information from his coming
ling and competition, and are stimulated more and
more to study the arts Of husbaudry and cattle rails
ing. We have borrowed the luea lTOu LuBlal',
where agricultural fairs have been a long time in
vogue, and where they have had great influence in
improving the breed Of cattle, introducing better
modes of husbandry and giving to the farming and
laboring classes more refined notions of cleanliness
in their persons their dwellings aud yards
But though the plan Of holding agricultural fairs is
not Of very ancient adaptation here it is by no means
backward in its Development. On he contrary, it
has entered largely into social policy and forms
quite 8 feature in rural life. We have extended it
up to national fairs, and down to county fairs, so
that from the poorest of our small New England
farmers to the Wealthiest of our Southern planters
all have place at which their various products
be represented and at which they acquire infOr
nation to the most approved plans Of cultivation,
the best breeds Of cattle and horses and the newest
inventions in agricultural implements.
