question, will be compelled to ALLEVIATE his
Northern ant-Lecompton allies. The former,
under the impulse Of the late elections, has be-
trayed and ruined himself; and the latter, from
his unsubstantial victory in nlinois-in the
hands of his hungry friends-is in fair way Of
being utterly broken down and exhausted before
the meeting of the Charleston Convention.
Beyond these results and probabilities the late
elections have decided nothing in reference TO
the next Presidency, except that chaotic and in
congruous condition of parties and factions
which demands, as the first necessity, general
reconstruction, involving new measures and
men adapted to the practical exigcncies of the
day.

WHO'S THE DuPE 1T is very pertinently
asked in various quarters, who has been fooled in
the recent fight in Illinois? Mr.. Douglas sup
por! was made Of the most heterogeneous and an
tagonistic materials. Hon. Massa Greeley went
for him, old white coat and all, because he was
supposed to be "a little Of color" on the niger
question. and little is better than nothing for
the Tribune philosophers. The Richmond Enquirer
which defends slavery as The best of all insiitu-
tons, supported Greeiey's friend; so did the
Della, Of New Orleans, which would be glad to
open crevasse in the bank of the Mississippi
and drown all the abolitionists here and else
where, without benefit Of clergy. Thurlow Weed
joined hands with the Glibustering fire-eaters of
New Orleans; and the Know Knothing Critton-
den, Of Kentucky, marched side by side with The
Frcemon's Journal and the Roman Catholic Arch
bishop Of New York. The old Clay wings and
the old line democrats likewise gave their voices
to Douglas. II is quite certain that some of
these antagonistic elements must have been hum
plugged. II Douglas was a perfect kaleido-
scope, or a chameleon, be could not carry phases
and colors TO suit all. Who, then, il the dupe?
Is il Greeley, Or the philosophers of the En-
quirer or the ilbustcrs of the Deta or the South
ern Americans, OF the Freeman Journal? Who's
the dupe?

PUBLIC School OFFICERS of the most
important questions in the coming municipal
election ia in the choice Of members Of the
Board of Education, which supcrntends the
free schools of the city, and direct the morals and
intellectual training of nearly fifty thousand
children. Some Of the journals seem to think
that the main question to be decided il whether
or not the Bible shall be excluded from the
schools. This may be we'll enough for fuel to
stir up sectarian fires but the fact is that there
are other matters more important than the Bible
question The people are to say whether they
will, by the choice Of respectable and competent
men as school officers exclude immortality and
corruption from the Board of Education,
and promote the moral welfare eff the
children under its care, or whether they will
go on to choose broken down second rate po-
litical hacks, who make jobs out Of the million
and q half school fund, and peryert the system
SO that it is as degraded as any other department
Of the city government. The character Of some
OF the members Of the Board Of Education may
be judged from the fact that not long ago one of
them was unable to write his name, while
another was sentenced to the penitentiary.
These are rare examples for the rising genera
ton, and will go far to repress the rampant
rowdyism which seems growing up among our
youth. The future of the city is in the hands Of
the fifty thousand children in the public schools.
and their future is in a great measure in the
hands of the Board Of Education. Therefore, the
character Of candidates for school officers should
be more carefully scrutinized than that Of any
others before the people. Just now the Board Of
Education is not in the best odor and We hope
that il will be thoroughly ventilated between
this time and the day of election.

CoMPLMENTARY.-A correspondent of the
Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, in an interesting
account of the recent commencement Exer-
cises of Cumberland University. speaks as
follows of the address of JOHN A. McEwEN,
Esq.,, the ablest man of his age in the State:
The Literary Societies of the University
were addressed by Hon. John A. McEwen.
the present worthy Mayor of Nashville. Mr.
McEwen has long enjoyed a most enviable
reputation as an erudite and polished scholar,
and an able. elegant and classic writer. His
literary addresses, delivered on various occa-
sions. will compare favorably with those of
his age in this country. In fact, in this parti-
cular is our State especially indebted to him
for the high standard--ihe lofty tone and
character which this branch of our literature
has attained. He is chaste and elegant,
and at the same time a bold and vigorous
writer-an original thinker-and liberal
enlightened. benevolent, patriotic Conservative
"All the ends he aims att are for the eleva-
ton. advancement and amelioration of the
condition of man. While he has drank deep
at the fountain of knowledge, he has also
studied most thoroughly the ,.eat volume of
of Human Nature. In all his writings he
shows himself familiar with this important
this profoundly mysterious theme; and the
theories advanced upon the philosophical
topics connected Herewith, are profound, en-
lightened and calculated in an eminent degree
to put the people to thinking. an earnest, upon
great subject. and in such a train as can
but prove highly beneficial to all classes of
society.
This last address is among Mr.. McEwen's
ablest efforts. 1t gave universal satisfaction
end commanded unbounded praise 1t was
a finished production. The classic pen of
Everett could lose nothing in claiming it for
its own.

The Gwin and Wilson AFFAIR.

The Washington correspondent of the Mis-
souri, Republican gives the following account
of the GwIN and WILSON settlement of their
difficulty:
/ say we were about having another sea
ming affair."" when Senator Seward. as the
friend of Mr.. Wilson, undertook to bring about
settlement by an ample apology from Mr.
Wilson. Mr.. S. called upon Mr. Gwin. and
begged that he would suspend any action
until he (Mr. Seward) could make an effort to
settle the difficulty amicably. Mr.. G. consen-
led to grant t,co hours, for the purpose of re-
ceiving an apology from Mr.. Wilson. Mr.
Seward at once drew up the paper, and its
terms being satisfactory to Mr. Gwin and his
friends. Mr.. S. hurried on to procure Mr..
Wilson's signature. The latter asked time to
show it to some other friends, and the enemies
of Mr.. Gwin succeeded in inducing Mr. Wilson
to refuse his signature. Mr.. Seward regretted
the result but determined not to leave any
effort untried to arrest a street fight. He
sought Gen. Davis. Senator from Mississippi
and late Secretary of War, and begged him to
see Mr.. Gwin, and get him to modify, if
possible, his demand for an apology. Gen.
Davis undertook the task. but he first sought
an interview with Mr.. Wilson, to learn his
views. Gen. ID. suggested the propriety of
Mr.. Wilson fixing some hours between which
he would be upon the hank of the canal, and
ready to defend himself This could be done
without any formal challenge. Mr.. w. asked
what would be the probable result of such
meeting. The death of one or both of the
parties" responded Gen. Davis. Mr. Wilson
at once declined that mode of settlement, and
asked what Mr.. Gwin proposed doing. Il
doubt not" said Gen. D.. "he will attack
you on sight, and in a rencOntre of the kind,
he will have every advantage of yon,
accustomed as he has always been to the
hazards of a frontier life" Mr.. Wilson then
expressed himself ready to make any apology
which might he agreed on by Mr.. Davis, Mr.
Seward, and Mr.. Crlttenden, and Immediately
addressed note TO Mr.. Gwin to that effect,
which is published with the correspondence
Mr.. Davis then held an interview with Mr..
Gwin, and asked him if he was willing to in
trust his honor in his Gen. DavisO hands. Mr..
Gwin said he was, but that any settlement con-
templated must be speedily made Gen.
Davis said. ''yOu know Wilson will not fight,
and we must have no more Gaming affairs
Your reputation for bravery is not involved;
that has been established on five different
occasions. You can afford to be generous,
and | hope you will leave the whole settlement
to the persons indicated by Mr.. Wilson," Mr..
Gwin assented to the arrangement, and hence
the adjustment as published.

Lebanon Layv-SchOoI.

The Montgomery (Ala) Aduertiser contains
an editorial article attributing anti-sIayery
sentiments to Judge GREEN, of the Lebanon
Law-SchOol, and insisting on his removal
from his position in the University. We have
not seen Judge GREENS letter. to which our
contemporary refers, aud upon which its
charges are based; but we are fully satisfied
that nothing ever emanated from that distin-
guished gentleman injurious TO the interests
of the South, or unfriendy to its institutions
The writer of this paragraph was for several
months a student in the Law-School at Leba-
non, under Judge GREENS instruction. We
listened to his lectures VI on constitutional law
and heard him discuss the relations of master
and slave. The sentiments which he inva-
riably expressed were those of sound politi-
cal philosopher and conservative statesman.
He maintained the rights of the States, and
repudiated and denied the authority of the
general government to interfere with the en-
joyment or ownership of property in the
States. He upheld the authority of the
master over his slave, and justified the exercise
of that authority as right established by
human and divine law. We are familiar
with Judge GREENS public and private
reputation. We have learned to venerate
the pure and upright character of the man, as
much as we admire the ability and learning
Of the Jurist. We know that the sincerity of
opinions which he did not entertain, or TO
conceal those which he did entertain. The
fact, then. that through all his Judicial life,
in all his decisions delivered from the
Supreme Bench of the State and during his
long connection with the Law Department of
Cumberland University, he has constantly
and consistently sustained the institution of
slavery, is sufficient evidence that his views
upon that subject are sound and conserva-
tive.
The Lebanon Law School, so far from
being controlled by anti slavery influence,
has done more to create healthy tone of
public sentiment on the subject of Southern
rights, than any other institution in the coun-
try. The doctrine established by the bred
Scott decision, was enunciated and maintained
by Judge CARUTHERs in his lectures TO the
Law Glasses of Cumberland University. long
before the Supreme Court of the United
Stated had announced their opinion on the
subject. We consider il the duty and interest
of the South. 10 parronize and sustain the
