''The American party kapia9 arisen upon the and
spite of the opposition Of the WING and Democratic
parties, cannot be held any responsible to- the
obnoxious acts Violated pledges Of EITHRR. Aud the
systematic agitation of the slavery question by those
parties 1.-THE Wing and Demoeratic) having elevated
sectional hostility into positive element of polit
ical power and brought institutions into peril,
it has, therefore, become the imperative duty Of the
american party to interPose for the purpose of Civ
ing peace to the country aud perpeuity to the
Union"
The above is the femous 18th section of the Know
Nothing platform of 1855. 1t is refreshing 1t is
the platform, in part, upon which Col. NBTHERLAND
then stood. He was acting with a party which
protested to have risen in spite of the opposition
of the Wing and Democratic parties that would
not be bound for the " obnoxious acts aud violated
pledges of ether" "Tke systematic agitation of
the slavery question by those parties" (the Wing
and Democratic,) had brought the country into
peril and it had therefore, become the imperative
duty of the American party to interpOse," and
savs it.
A greater amount Of hypocrisy was never enbod-
led in shorter space, mIst now be apparent even
to the deluded followers of Sam. But the hypocri-
sy which these tame political trieksters are now
seeking to impose upon the country, under the
new cOgnOmen of Opposition" is fully as false
aad more unblushing than their shameful practices
of 1866.
JOHN NETHERLAND who then claimed to make COM
mon warfare upon the practices of Wigs and Dem
Ocrsts, now claims to have carried his Whigery with
him into the councils of KnoW-Nothingism, and is
endeavoring to hold himself out as, in part the
didate Of the Wings The systematic agitation of
the slavery question which he then charged upon
the Wigs aud Democrats, he is now charging ex-
clusivey upon Democrats Whilst protesting at
that time that to save the country it was the " i'm
perative duty Of the American party TO interpose,
he now claims that it is the imperative duty of the
Opposition party to interpOse. Through such trans
parent hypocrisy, surely any man with brains
enough to keep himself gu! of the fire, will be able
to see.
There is one striking popularity in the history
of Know-NOthngism and KnoW-Nothing -0ppos-
tionism which should be pondered on by every one.
They have Wsrred upon Democrats and upon Wings,
bot in the whole course of their career they have
made no warfare on Black Republicanism on the
contrary in the Northern States the two very soon
become one party, and in the South we have seen
willingness the part Of their leaders to unite
in the same general coalition, under the banner of
Opposition.
Let the honest Wing, and the honest Democrat,
who in past times may have been deceived into CO.
operating with the party, make pause here end
reflect cOolly and dispassiOnately as to his duty.
And whatever an unprejudiced judgment suggests
that let him do, regardless of the opinions and &C.
tons of others.

GRsESEvILLE, July 20, 1859.
MEssRs. EDITORS: We had the candidates for Gov
ernor with US yesterday, and very large crowd to
hear them speak, and it affords me great pleasure
to assure you that the gallant HARRIS obtained tr
umphant victory over Mr.. NETHERLAND. HARRIS
went far beyond the expectstOns of his friends,
while NETHERLAND rot only fell far below the cal
culatiOn of the Democrats, but below that of his
own friends. NETHERLAND looks csre-WOrn, defect
ed and out-ious while HARRIS is ingood health and
spirits, and looks much better than ever saw him
He comes up to the expectations of everybody, and
not only satisfies his political friends that he is
right, but large number of the 0ppositiOn-the
rank and file of the ppOsitOn-eandidly admit
that NETHERLAxD is no match for HARRIS in manly
debate If Gov. Gov. HARRIS speeches have had
the effect elsewhere that his speech had here he will
be elected by Is, 600 msjOrity.
! number of those who have heretofore acted
with the Opposition in this county, will now vote
| for HARRIS, HAYNES, Sc. Old Greene intends to
thunder we intend to give the Democratic ticket
such msjority on the first Thursday in August as
will make every Democrat glad throughout the
State.
| feel confident that we will make large gains in
this Congressional District. The accounts from

Ig kind. The Know Nothing party of those coun-
ties are making desperate fight, while, on the
other hand, our Democratic and Old Line Wing
friends are meeting them manfully, and eontestiug
every inch of ground with them. The days CT
acknowledgment are numbered in those counties.
Mark what ssyI
I see many letters sent out from East Tennessee,
that all East Tennessee is on fire for Mr. NEITHER

ERLAND has always been for himself, and old iIaW

The strong Democratic counties.

The size of Gov. HARRIS majority depends on the
vote in the strong Democratic counties. If they
poll full DOte the majority is likely to exceed
than fall short Of his majority in 1851 We don't
speak at random. We pledge the Democracy Of
Lincoln, Franklin, overtOn, Warren, Meigs, Hiek-
man, Sullivan, Sumner Maury, Henry, Weakly,
Hardemau, Dickson, Greene, Bradley, Humphreys,
Benton, Lawrence, Stewart, and the rest of the
counties Of this class that if they will poll their
full Democratic strength the majority in the State
will exceed that of 1857. We tell then furthermore,
that the Opposition arc calculating on having gains
in these counties. Upon what they base their cal
eua,ions and how far they to be realized, is for
you to determine, We know that nothing is re-
quired but proper energy and discipline and all viii
be well. The want Of it may give our opponents
the full realization of their hopes.
We have faith that the gallant Democracy OF
these counties will do their duty AMI iissppOut the
enemy. They have worked too faithfully in past
times to present ascenisrcy, to risk it b.
lukeWarmness now. Up, men, and at them

Common Sense.

Said plain eOuntryman at the Market House
yesterday morning, while pocketiug the silver for
the articles he was selling his customers, never
voted for Democrat in my life but shall vote in
this election for HARRIS and the whole of the Dem
Ocratic ticket IS "Why ?" asked his customer
Because get silver and gold for what have to
sell, and am in no danger of worthless shin ples-
tiers and broken bank-notes." The answer covered
the whole question of the currency, so far as it
relstes to the masses. Who wants to 60 back to
the days of bank suspensions and broken banks,
when the man who had ten dollars worth of mar
keing to sell considered himself lucky if be didn't
take two or three worthless shin plasters in that
amount Yet that is what the Opposition are con-
tending for. They insist that there shall be no re
sponsibiliy TO the people their representatives by
the banks and that it will ruin the people to make
the banks pay their debts. The days of baak sus-
pensions are days Of harves! to the crafty specula-
tor. He wants the times of 1857 restored. And
the Opposition are working for his benefit in labor
ing to Danish specie and to make rag currency.
But who that Sees as he sees this day. silver and
gold plenty for all the ordinary transactions oflife
shin plasters we're two years ago, is willing to
Oblige the shsvers by undOing the Democratic poll
cy which has secured this state of things.

To THE VOTERS OF THE EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL
DIsTRICT:
Gentlemen After thorough canvass Of the
District, l am fully satisfied that majority of
those who have d termined to support me at the
polls, are Of the Democratic party The great body
of the people who recently professed to be native
Americans politically, find are now ready to aban-
don the cause and uaits with the Opposition party
By sustaining its nominee.
This Opposition party 1 regard as but faction,
having no measure of public policy-no motive or
feeling TO sctuste them, other than hate to D5moc-
raey and hope for ofiee---and so I have charged
throughout the District A faction which, if sue
cessful will be powerless for good, aud only pow
the only truly national party of the country, and
the only one capable of fighting successfully the
many factions Of the day and the Black Republican
party particularly believe it to be the duty Of all
true, constitutional, national men, and people in
the South especially, in the present and approach
lag crisis Of 1860, to sustain that party hence,
to it my help and support shall accordingly be
given.
In my canvass throughout the District, endeav
Ored to present my views fully, aud which regard
truly national, involving the interest of the pea
pie Of the whole country, as well the naturalized
citizen the native born, and when find those so
recently the Oudest in their protestgtions Of adhe
renee ia American principles, the most
willing to wholly and shamefuy abandon them,
resolved to retire from the canvass. leaving those
true meu who had determiIe to support me to act
they may deem best for the good Of their country

The KnoW-nothings expect TO carry their Repre-
sentative in DeKalb by trick, which is exactly
worthy of Know-nothingism. There arc two or
three Democratic candidates and two Know nothing
candidates But one Of the KnOw-nothipg cardi-
dltes is candidate only for show, and for the pur
pose of holding the Democrats oil on. Within fire
days Of the election, the second KnOW-nOthing will
be withdrawn, and EheE when it is two late for the
Democrats to concentrate, The entire Know nothing
vote viii be found to have been concentrated This
is the trick, exposed by one of the secret order
in this city few days ago.
Friends in DEKALBl The complexion of the Leg
islatiOn may be decided by your Representative
Are you really Democrats, and viii you permit your
