Are ,Fou RcadyI

The election is now but little more than FIVE
weeks of are our Democratic friends ready for it
wsfearnOt. They have had SO much confidence in the
overwhelming majority of two years ago, that they
have worked too little and trusted too much to the
fact Of that majority. There is lukeWsrmness as
to the issues There is too much contempt for the
strength Of the Opposition, too great lack Of or
eanizatiou, too many contests between Democrats
for seats Congress and in the Legislature and too
much reliance in the power of unOrgauised truth to
eserwhelm error. Our Democrats have got to
member that etsrnal vigilance is the price of lib
erty !" that the Opposition are making q struggle
for life in this contest and that they will leave
rat or effort untried to obtain majority. We hear
Of an effort, unparalleled for years, by cur oppo-
meats in every part Of the State to carry this cleo
ton; and this effort must be met by corresponding
labor on the part of the Democracy 1t is high time
for the organization Of this effort, and pray
friends no longer to delay it. The result in this
State will greatly influence the question Of fusion
by the Northern and Southern Opposition, and per-
haps give character to the next Presidential contest
II we maintain majority the fact that the South
ern Opposition bring strength to fusion will
be settled and the hope of such fusion will be aban
doned. We have, then, in Kentucky and Tennes-
see, the opportunity in the August elections, of
crushing the enemy in detail and of thus saving
the necessity Of battle next year The numbers,
the arguments, all but the discipline, with
And il is not too late for that discipline to be per-
fected as to render invincible
While our friends are witnesses of the energy Of
the Opposition and of the zeal with which they
prosecuting this canvass, let them initiate these
qualities, and ell will be well. Let the Democrats
of each county work though the whole result rest
ed upon their efforts Don't let the idea that other
counties will do the work prevail The magnitude
Of the contest demands that every county perform
its full share of work, and that every Democrat do
his duty.
We tell our friends csndidly that the Opposition
are at work. secretly as well as openly, have
not seen them work before for years. From the re-
hottest neighborhoods, we hear of these efforts. We
must sCork or we shall find majority, instead of
being increased, as We have the power to increase
it, reduced as was the Democratic majority in Vir
gnis. Let every Democratic reader Of this, from
this day until the election constitute himself
mitee-mRu, to the sluggish, to secure hsrmo-
n.y. to repel Opposition misrepresentation with the
truth, and to secure full Democratic vote at the
polls. We have the power, by overwhelming odds,
to crush out this Opposition" Let use Il. That
Is al there lie to do.

The Progres. of Fana.,ci.m.

Ourtelegraphic dispatches of yesterday announced
that the House of Representatives of New Hamp-
shire have passed bill by a vote of 1S4 against
1Ol, Furnishing any BODY aiding in the rendition of
persons claimed slaves, with Imprisonment for
five years for the frat offence and for life for the
second.
We see by the correspondent Of the Ohio States
man that EzEKIEL 7 Cox, Esq, United States Mar
shsl for the Southern District Of Ohio, has been
communicated from the Market street Baptist
Church at GAINESVILLE because, respecting the con-
stitution, and regarding his cath of Office he exc
cuted the fugitive slave Law. Whilst the character
of fugitive slave is justly not regarded in the ex-
ecuton Of the law, it may be introduced in the
sderation Of these religious pharisees who have at
tempted to offer an indignity to Mr.. Cox The ne
gro arrested by him for whom this hypocritical
sympathy is SO much excited, was thief and be-
sides had been guilty Of an outrage of most vii
famous character upon poor white girl
Mr. Cox defended himself with great ability be-
fore his brethren, and made a speech of much in
tsrest, which we would publish could We spare the
space; but to no purpose, they expelled him by a
vote Of % to u, and asserted the doctrine that
public officer could not be ne tc his country and,
at the same time, true to his church.
1t is whilst such events as these ere daily occur
ring in the savehOlding States, that Col METH
ERIAND and his leading supporters in this State are
"ignoring the slavery question" insisting that
there is no danger, and abusing the Democrats for
"talking Niger, as they call it,

TENNEssEE.-There is a spirited contest going on
in the Memphis Congressional district between Mr..
Avery, the Democratic nominee Mr.. d. NJ Currin,
boiter from the Democratic party, and Mr.. Sneed,
the candidate of the Opposition. Mr. Curriu, in
days gone by, was one Of the most efficient Demo-
Gratis in the State, and he has done as good SER
vice for his party Us any man CT his age in It. We
shall never forget his efficient canvass throughout
the State during the Presidential campaign of 1874
We regret exceedingly to see Mr.. CuIrin now run
ming tor office in opposition to the nominee of his
own party He is almost the last man We could
have expected to see in such false position. la
recent discussion between the different candidates
the Opposition were so enraptured With the speech
of MIR. Curtin that they have it in serious contem
platiOn to Withdraw Mr.. Sneed, and let Curtin
have clear field against Avery Washington States

WASHINGTON, June 90, 1859.
Ny DEAR SIR have received your letter en-
quiriDg whether ny friends are at liberty to pre-
sent my name to the Charleston Conven ion for the
Presidential nomination. Before this question can
be finally determined, it will be necessary to under
stand distinctly upon what issues the is to
be conducted. II, (as have full faith they WILL
the Democratic party shall determine, in the Pres
dential election of 1860 TO adhere 10 the principles
embodied in the compromise measures of 1850, and
ratified by the recple in the Presidential election Of
1852, and re-stfirmed in the Kansas Nebraska act
of 1854, and incorporated into the Cincinnati plat
form Of 1856, as expounde1 by Mr. Buchanan in
his LETT accepting the nomination, and approved
by the people in his election; in that event my
friends will be at liberty to present my rame to be

Col. Netherland and the Slave Interests
Col NErHERLAND endea7ors to evade discussion
Of the slavery question and the charge of Gov HAIR
AIS that his party leaders are seeking an utilization
with the Black Republicans by an unworthy ap-
peal to he non-saveholders Of his audience, and
says: If Gov HARRIS svH look after the interests of
the niggers, let him do go; will look after the in
tsrests Of the white folks There was g time when
Col NETnERLAND was not so Indifferent to the in
terests Of the negroes. When he was elected to the
State Senate in 1884, free negrOesEwere permitted
to vote in Tennessee. How many of them had
aided in securing Col n. his seat in that body we
are upprepared to say but sure it is that he was
then more Iealous for their interests than the inter
ests Of the white folks. The previous Legislature
had placed upon the statute book that most excel
lent law prohibiting the emancipation of slaves,
s'sxeept upon the express condition that they shall
beimmediately removed from this State"
II may well be doubted whether airy law ever en-
acted by the Legislature has contributed more to the
peace and welfare of the State or the security of
our slave property and yet Col. NErnERLAxD was
IeSlOus in his fer the niger that he voted
for the repeal Of this law, but fortunately was de-
feated in his vote, see Journal page 139.
Again st the same session Of the Legislature q bill
was introduced to authorize Anthony Foster TO
emancipste certain slaves The bill being read, Mr.
CANxOE offered an amendment, to wit provided
said slaves be not permitted to remain in any cOun-
ty Of this State" Against this amendment Col
NETaERLAND voted, and then voted for the passage
Of the bill authorizing the emancipation of the ne
grOes, to remain within the State.
II will thus be seen that when free negroes were
Indifferent to the niger interest and in way,
too, that was seriously to the injury Of the white
folks. In 1900 the entire free negro population of
Tennessee was only 300, as shown by the census
In $780, it had increased to sos as shown by the
same authority. And yet Col NErHERLAND was so
indifferent to the interest Of the white folks and
80 concerned fer the rights of the niger, that he
sought to repeal the law which had been passed
the previous session to check this growing evil.
What defence has Col. NETHERLAND to this &?
viii he get behind his constituents and say that
he was INSTRUCTED ?" What defence have his or
gans! Let the Athens Post speak. Here is work
suited to the genius Of that paper.
