the locofoco majority. The doctrine of
the Observation-Disclosures sovereignty and

Constitution and if those doctrines are
the true ones, the Americans have rebuk-
ed their violation, whilst the loeofocos have
followed in the wake of their deceitful
Presideht-saying, let us overlook the vio-
lation of the doctrines in this instance, but
rigidly enforce them in all others. The
people, whom the iocofocos declared have
the sole right to regulate their affairs, have
been denied vote upon their organic law,
and the Administration stands convicted
of intervening between the people and this
right, and fan attempt to force upon them

forth in iniquity and repudiated by those
who are to live under it. And this is the
batch of frauds which the American men,

Mr.. Stanton offered resolution declar-

satisfactorily and ordering his committal

necessarily implied the power to compel
witnesses to produce all Essential evidence.
The House had common law right to
punish witnesses for contempt. 1t was
proved that SOC, 900 came into the hands
Of Wolcott, perhaps innocently but sub

corrupt purposes. The committee have a
right to know what became of the money.

VILLERAILROAD.

We see that our GAINESVILLE cotemporari-
es are congratulating themselves upon the
account of the Legislature in giving their
railroad all the relief asked for by the
company."-This road, when complete,
will no doubt be of great advantage to
Clarksville. The cOmpletion-of the Vari-
Gus roads now projected would establish a
road connection between Nashville and
Clarksville-a consumation much to be de-
sired by both cities. The great bar to
communication between us in the summer
season would thus be overcome.
Our Montgomery friends have reason to be
grateful to their representative, Mr., M. ID.
DAVE, for his active and successful efforts
in behalf of their bill in the Legislature.
Mr.. DAVE is representative well worth
having Though not one of the talking
members, when the interests of his consti-
tuents are involved he is ever active and
energetic. When he has occasion to speak,
he speaks to the point, and most effective
