peD- The Louisville Joarnol, Of Satur.
day, has an interesting Communication
from Gov. Helm, on the subject Of the
Branch road from Bowling Green, and the
Journal Of Monday, has another article
editorial--on the same subject--both de-
signed to show the importance to Louis
vile, Of that road, and the practicability
Of its early completion provided that city
will subscribe 100000 towards il. In
our opinion, all that Louisville has done,
in the way of constructing Railroads, will
prove of comparatively little value without
the connection with Memphis contempla-
ted in the construction of the Branch
road; and it would be better for her in
tercst to abandon the Nashville road, south
of Bowling Green, than to fail to build
the Branch-provided it were impossible
to accomplish both objects. The trade
and travel from South west to Northeast
will follow the line of the East Tennessee
and Virginia road so long as it can reach
Louisville by the Nashville connection
only; but far different will be the result
when the business of the Mobile and Ohio
and other roads stretching out from the
extreme South can find direct chan.
nef opened for it by the Memphis & Ohio
and the Louisville, GAINESVILLE and Mem
phis road. A glance at the map will dem
onstrate the truth of these assertions and
as the current of trade and travel flow
from North east to South west, competing
lines of road running across this curren
can, at best, become but insignificant fee
ders to those than run parallel with it,
We are glad to see that Louisville ha
taken hold of the subject in earnest, ant
should its citizens vote for the Ordinance
the early construction of the Branch roac
will be fixed fact The GAINESVILLE di
vision of the road will be ready, and wait
ing, to receive the Bowling Green link o
the connection, and thus tie louisville
and Memphis together, and bring the for
mer into the mid channel of the great cur
rent Of trade.

B9- The Washington Union signifies
that it is the imperative duty of demo-
crat to obey the laws of his party. The
next step in progress of party rule, is
implicit obedience to the head of the party,
and the consequence is an absolute des-
potism under free form of government
This is, in fact, the present condition Of
our government; and as the laws are not
yet so shaped as to allow the President to
imprison or decapitate refractory citizen
"a man who dares to think for himself
he is shorn of office, if he hold one, and il
not, is ostracised, pursued, prosecuted by
the hell-hounds of party until he abjectly
surrenders to the tyranny of despotic rule
that has risen up under Constitution and
laws that guarantee freedom of speech and
action. IF we must submits despotism, fol-
Heavens sake let it not be under semblance
of liberty. Let US have government as
our forefathers framed it, or abolish it, and
adopt the Russian as a model. The
tyranny of one man is preferable to that
of a mob.

R6~ We stated, last week, the failure of an
attempt, in New York, to blend the Ameri-
can and Republican parties, and also the
cause of the failure. We had hoped for
an union on national grounds, but the
ambition or the fanaticism of the Repubh-
cans promptly closed the door against any
such union, and the Americans displayed
their patriotic conservatism in spurning
an alliance with men dead to every ma
tional feeling, and governed by no higher
motives than those which actuate the law.
less oppressors of their country and
sooner would we see the prosperity and
the honor of the nation still longer and
still lower degraded by the mob that rules
it, than force reform by the sacrafce O.
rinciple. The Republicans of New Yorl
virtually declare their willingness t
supercede the locofocos with the aid of tn,
Americans, but with no purer or mantle
motive than the substitution of their owl
corrupt and fanatical doctrines for tn
denationalising and demoralizing rule o
the dominant party. Between the two
we have no choice and if the former ca
succeed, the country will be no worse of

success to the cooperation of the Ameri
can party, on the terms proposed a

Blr Hear what Senator Brown-demo-
crat-of Mississippi, said the other day,
of the great Kansas swindle. We are
proud to have entertained the same views
from the very beginning, of the miserable
pit-fall into which the South tumbled
without looking whore it was going to put
its foot:
'He did not like the original Kansas
and Nebraska bill of Mr.. Douglas, and
never could understand why the bill was
so popular in the South-there was that
in it which ought to have been left out
and there was that left out which ought to
have been put in. He disapproved of the
popular sovereignty" doctrine incorpor-
ated in that bill, and wanted it plainly sta
ted who were the people who were "to reg
ulate domestic institutions in their own
way" He never could subscribe to the
policy of placing unnaturalized foreign
paupers and criminals thrown upon our
shores like filthy weeds, upon an equality
with native born American citizens"
In commenting on this speech, the New
Orleans Bulletin says:
at will be recollected that when the
Kansas bill was brought before Congress
everybody in the South who did not toss
up his hat and shout over it as a ''great
measure of justice to the South, was al
once denounced by all the small politica
quattlebums and people who wear the col
lar and sneeze when they are told to, al
an "enemy to the South" Nobody, o
course, cared straw about the denuncia
ton, but those who uttered it will proba
bly, learn lesson from the matter befor,
they have done with it, if they have no
already" X

n6S~ The Douglass and Lincoln fight in
Illinois. is creating much interest through
the South, and the political phase II mani
tests would be ridiculous anomoly were
not such things common nowadays. The
acknowledgements democracy
in its broad signi6cation,---is supporting
Lincoln, and, through him, the odious
doctrine, that Congress has the power to
abolish slavery in the Territories, and
ought to exercise that power A portion
of the southern democracy is no less
earnestly upholding Douglass and, through
him, the abominable doctrine that the peo-
pie Of territory have the right-in their
territorial capacity, to abolish slavery,
without regard to the Constitution, or the
decisions Of the Supreme Court. So far
as northern democrats are concerned,
either doctrine will answer their purpose
the exclusion slavery from the territories;
but how southern man can support either
man. as the advocate of either doctrine,
can be accounted for only upon the sup
position that devotion to party sanctions
treason to the South and to the Union.
But is it not disgusting to see party,
claiming to be national, patriotic and
governed by principles, degrading itself
stultifying and demoralizing the Masses
and degrading the nation by such an ex-
hibition of folly and corruptionp The
southern democrats, instead of denounc-
ing, to man, both Douglass and Lincoln,
and holding to strict account the Presi-
dent who interferes in favor Of either of
the parties to such a contest, still adhere,
with death grip to Buchanan, uphold
him as all that is pure and immaculate,
whilst they are divided between Douglass
and Lincoln--both whose doctrines, if
carried out, would be fatal to the South,
in the Union. They can not escape this
dilemma by saying that the President and
his organ, and some of the southern organs
in opposing Douglass do not necessarily
support Lincoln-that is contemplate
dodge. The defeat of Douglass is the
success of Lincoln, and they know it, and
every blow aimed at Douglass, is blow
for Lincoln. Were either of the men
sound on the slavery question, every
southern man would have, as well as feel,
an interest in the issue but the question
raised in this controversy, is not whether
the South shall enjoy its constitutional
rights, but whether it shall be deprived OF
them by squatter sovereignty, or by Con-
gressional intervention. IF northern de-
mocracy were true to the South, they
would crush both. If southern democracy
were true to the South, they would cut
loose from such allies at once and forever

s<sa If we had space, we would like TO
republish Forney's celebrated speech, that
our readers might see life-picture Of old
Buck by his bosom friend. tits true that
the South and kindred sheets are striving
TO break the force Of that speech by charg-
ing that Forney is not worthy Of credit (;
but this is pitiful dodge. They charge
upon him that, as Clerk Of the House, he
interpolated the records Of Congress; that
he played the part of pimp TO play actor,
and that his whole life has been con-
catenation of mean acts. These things
are doubtless true, and long since damned
Forney in the estimation of all honest men
who are cognizant of his history. But
his Interpolation of the Congressional re-
cords, and his letter urging the propriety
of making a man drunk that he might, in
state of unconsciousness, be persuaded
to traduce the character of woman, were
well known to the locofoco leaders long
before he became the Ajax Telemon of the
campaign in Pennsylvania. Yet, in spite Of
his bad character, Buchanan degraded
himself and his official station by writing
letter to member of the Pennsylvania
Legislature urging the election of Forney
to the U. States Senate; and, failing in
this, he then rendered him the Consulship
to Liverpool.
From this state Of facts, the conclusion
is unavoidable, that the President, know.
ing him to be scoundrel, is either nc
better, or knows not the responsibility be
assumes when offering to confde the great
interests of the country to one totally and
avowedly unworthy to be trusted. But
now that this bosom friend of the Presi
dent, stung by disappointment, reveals the
treason of james Buchanan against mem
bers of his own party, against the princi
pies laid down in his Inaugural and against
the dignity of the Republic, the cry il
Forney is notorious scoundrel and tn,
facts are adduced that prove the charge
beyond doubt But the plea will not hold
Buchanan and his strikers knew he was
scoundrel when they endorsed him an,
the means he used in carrying Pennsyl
vania; they knew this when they en-
deavored to place him in the Senate the,
knew this when they offered him tn
Consulship to Liverpool, and if they re
cognized him then as gentleman-o
rather as their cqual-and believed him
: worthy repository of high national trusts
they but proclaim their own ineffabl
meanness by the effort to discredit hin
now They locked arms with scoundre
knowing him to be such-when CRANE
! larceny was their mutual design-and no,
deny him the legal right to stand in tn
witness box, as States evidence. Blu
Buchanan can not escape by this sort O
trick; Walker, Stanton and host Q
others have testified in the case, and sus
tain Forney SO fully that the Impeachment
of his veracity can not vary the impressio
made upon an honest jury. The part
. will, hewever, loose nothing by the expos
because it has nothing to loose, in the wa
of character, that it would not be bless
ing to get rid of.
