meeting, ia Nashville, seems to have re-
ccived but little favor at the hands of the
press and it would be far better for the
ultimate good Of the people, if they,s too,
would Indignantly reject every such at
tempt on the part of few unauthorized
demagogues, to dictate their course on any
given subject. The tendency towards a
Capitalization of power in the hands of
party leaders is too apparent not to have
attracted the attention of all observing
minds and every such effort, as that lately
made in Nashville, to take from the people
all free agency in the administration Of
their own affairs, is step towards practical
despotism well calculated to alarm every
true patriot. The President, with the
boldness of a well supported tyrant, and
the recklessness Of bad man, demands
implicit obedience from every Office holder
with Acknowledgement as the penalty Of
disobedience, and such tyranny is upheld
and justified by the -demagogues o.
his party. The man who dares to asser
the right of freeman to think for him
self, ceases to be democrat, and ceasine
to be such, is outlawed, reviled and perse
cuted, not as a traitor to his country, bu
to his party. IF he hold and Office which
the President can not directly take from
him, he is hunted by the hounds of part,
until he is either chased back into the de
mocratic fold, or is forced to seek safet,
in the obscurity of private life. But i
his Office be the gift of the President, h
is turned out, no matter how honest anC
capable, and his place is supplied by SOM
plant tool read to hold any opinion tina
will enable him to hold Office.
Nicholson, Andy johnson, Sam. Smitl
& Co., are disciples of this federal school
which teaches that the President i
supreme, and that no man shall be hi
agent unless he first be his slave. Fresl
from the rocking hot-bed of corruption
where absolutism is taught in practice
and where the people are laughed at as tn
ignorant, trucking slaves Of ccntra
power, these men, without deigning to sa.
to the people-"by your leave, gentlemen /
meet, in secret conclave, in Nashville
and issue their orders with all the arroganc
of masters, and would laugh at the ma,
who would hint that those orders nigh
possibly not be obeyed. Are the peopl
fully prepared thus to BIO ruled? If so, tn
sooner the form of government is accom-
modated, in theory, to its present practice
the better-when the people are made t
feel that they are slaves, they will eithe
learn the value of the freedom they ar
thoughtlessly surrendering, or sink to tn
level from which freedom cannot raise theI

e6S- Our neighbor has promptly replied
to our query, whether he is for or against
Douglass, and any man who has heard the
story Of the mill dam, will be able to ap-
preciate the reply. IF we had no reason
for contrary opinion, We might be
tempted to believe that our neighbor was
once private secretary to Martin Van
Buren,. We appreciate the delicacy Of his
situation, however, and will not urge him
to commit himself on this dangerous qucs-
ton. He is a bold man who can stand up
in the ranks of the democratic party and
proclaim himself freeman but he is a
happy man, whose political soul is his own,
and whose free thoughts and free seech
know no restraint, save those imposed by
the high considerations Of truth, justice
and love of country.
We sympathise with Douglass, because
the party despot, at Washington, has
vowed his destruction; but, as between
his opinions and those of Lincoln, we have
no choice, for we can see no difference, in
fact between an open reputation of the
Dread Scott decision, and its circumven,
ton by the trick of squatter sovereignty,
But we feel less sympathy for Douglass
than we would feel did we not clearly see
shat he bclying his better judgment, and
stultifing hisintellcct by yielding to the
freesoil proclivities of northern democracy.
Had he come out IA the Americans have
done in New York, and spurned every pro,
position to yield one inch on the subject OF
slavery in the territories he would have
command the admiration of the whole
South-save thu slaves of Buchanan =
but in failing to do this, the only ground
for sympathy is detestOtion of the tyranny
that is trying to crush him.

THE Missouri TOBACCO CRoP.-The
Brunswick Press informs us that the to-
bacco crop of Charlton county, this year,
will amount to 100000 pounds at 200
pounds to the hogshead, this would give
5000 hogsheads as the crop of the county.
This, We imagine, is the largest yield by
any one county in the State, and if tobac-
co be worth S., Charlton county will make
$500 900 this year out of her crop of the
weed.
The Press informs us, further, that the
crop is the best in quality as well as the
largest in quantity ever raised there. The
plants are thoroughly ripe, very heavy,
and the weather fine for giving them a
good color.

The Memphis Bulletin closes a we'll
written article on the "Mutations of
Parties" with the following conservative
and patriotic paragraph:
"What then? Shall the country be
given up to factious demagogueism p
Heaven forbid Perish the thought that
there is not intelligence, virtue and patriot
ism enough to rescue the fair heritage of
this Republic from the wolves and vultures
who.would prey upon it as carcass for
foul creatures to fatten on. There are
good and true men enough in the land to
put down misrule, if they will but cooper
ate together. Let such men, of all parties,
think of their duty to Country over mere
Party, and break the shackles of that
partisan spirit, which, in its blind excess,
is the greatest bane of Free Government.
If in their conscience they believe a
measure wrong, let them say and show by
their acts that it is wrong, regardless of
official favor or censure. If the old party
is broken up, the new one which will thus
rise up, will be purer and better one.
To US its name is Of the very smallest con-
sideration."
