For the Democrat.

Mr.. EDITOR: | am at loss to determine
whether 10 treat seriously or with contempt
the communication OF "CosmopOlite," which
appeared in your las; weeks issue. The
name so fully indicates the character Of The
communication and its author, that few
persons can be deceived by it. "Cosmopo-
lite" is person who has no fixed residence,
and is generally, as in the present case, a
young CoxComb with more impudence than
brains; who is doing the dirty work that
set Of political knaves are ashamed to do for
themselves, and he is doing it for very sma II
pay.
The docket cases that he has arayed be-
fore the public were judgments in criminal
cases against persons, many Of whom were
OF his own kind-persons who had no char
acter, no property, and no place of abode,
and who have long since "lelt their country
for their county's good.'
When acting as Sheriff OF Vinton Coun.
ty: vas at all times unwilling to put mon.
ey into my own pocket for services when 1
knew no public good would result from those
services. In one of these cases, consulted
the County Commissioners, who agreed with
me that it would be increasing the expenses

"Cosmopolte" is particularly "down" on
those who were not imprisoned. He has
probably been treated with the same kind of
lenity, in some Of his "perigrinations," when
it would have suited his lazy, sponging dis.

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!

Our opponents in the North have
screeched and howled about the insti-
tuition of slavery for long time-they
have resolved and spoken against it
they have denounced and abused ev-
cry body who would not unite with
them in their fanatical work, and yet,
we would ask, what good have they
ever accomplished!
Have they loosened tie shackles oi
single slave9
Have they in any manner benefited
the cause of freedom9
Have they prevented slavery from
extending over any territoriesl
Have they been the means Of ad-
mitting into the Union single free
State9
Have they abolished the slave trade
between the States9
Have they repealed, or ever made
an effort to do SO, the Fugitive Slave
Law, which they profess to regard as
SO detestable?
Have they restored, or do they now
advocate the restoration Of, the Mis-
souri, COMPROMISED
Have they furnished to the country,
during times when they had power,
any evidences of honesty, Of economy,
Of uuthfulness!
Have they given any evidence that
in the fnture they will act different
from what they have in the pastG
Let the People think of these que,
ries, and when an Opposition orator
ONES shouting about for the cause Of
freedom, ask him what his party has
ever accomplished in that or any 9TH
er direction, which has proven of the
least benefit to the black race or the
white race-to the north or to the
south. Stick the above questions at
him. and our word for it, the Gree
dom shrieker" will have to admit that
his party has proved utterly incompe-
tent to carry out its professions hereto

falsify the record. All of the above
queries, to be answered truthiully,
must be answered in the negative

The JUDeEsuIP.-A convention
was called at Jackson, on the 18th
inst, to nominate n candidate for tho
additional Judgeship allowed to this
subdivision OF the 18th Judicial Dis
trict by nc: of the Legislature at it's
last session. We learn that it was
resolved to be inexpedient to mako
any nomination; consequently no
nomination was made.
w. W. Johnson, Of this county, is
an independent candidate for tue ad-
ditionai Judgcship, and not to fill the
place OF Judge Peck, as some have
supposed. LrOnton Register.
"Inexpedient to make any nomina-
tion!" Having crowded Mr.. Keith
off the track by packing" the dele
gates for Johnson, it was deemed "in.
expodient" to make any nomination.
Why2 Because but two candidates
we're then before the people for the
Judgeship, and it was privately IN.
derstood that Mr.. Johnson would re-
ceive the vote of the Know Nothings
and Republicans; and, fulther, the
delegates from Lawrence county boast.
cd that if the convention would not
nominate Mr.. Johnson, he would re-
ceive in that county the sufirages Of
four hundred Democrats! This may
be true, but we do not believe it; and
we mention the matter for the pur.
pose Of calling the attention of our
Lawrence county friends.
In connection with this matter, We
clip the following from the Macarthur

THE CpGEsHlP.--The convention
that assembled at Jackson on Wed.
nesday Of last week, did not make q
nomination for Judge; but agreed to
run W. W. Johnson, Esq, of lronton,
IS an Independent candidate for that
Office. 1t was understood that Mr..
Keith and his friends acquiesced in
this movement; so that the Opposition
|, in this Judicial District will 90 into
the field with but one candidate.
The convention AGREED to rur W.

people to judge whether the AGREE.
MENT of the convention to run Mr..
johnson was not nomination, TO all
intcnts and purposes. II any one can
explain it differently, we shall be glad
to hear from him. The discrepancy
between the statements Of the Regis
