THE TRUTH HURTS:

The Opposition journals--especial- |
ly the Nashville Banner--are get
ting very angry under the charge
that they desire and confidently look
forward TO fusion with the Black
Republicans, They say it is not so
that it is as "lalse as belli"-ard
al! that We'll, gentlemen, if it be
untrue, why do you suffer yourselves
to get SO lot about il? If untrue,
Why do you allow your leaders, Geo.
ID. Prentice and John Minor Bolts,
to talk in the way they do? If un-
true, how do you expect to beat the
Democracy in 1860? If untrue,
why do you so earnestly demand that
agitation be stopped and the slavery
Question ignored? In a word, if un-
true, why do you not take down your
sign" which has "FUsIoN'' written
Upon it as plain as "bear.skins for
sale" was written on Davy Crockett's
wbiskers.
! You certainly talk about forming
a union with the conservative men OF
the NORTH" but where will you find
conservative men at the North, nu-
merically w0rth talking about, out
side Of the Democracy? Had it not
been for the National Democrats OF
the North. the constitutional rights
of the South would have been wres-
: ted from US long ago by your so CALI
ed consecutive Black Republicans
and your Abolitionized Wings.
You desire above all things. to
Ignore the slavery question. This,
of itself, islsuspicious; for the South
has everything to gain and nothing
! TO lose by agitation, as ;he past has
shown. Nor is this the time to per-
NIT the assertion Of our rights, in
The face of the threatening attitude
and undying hostility Of the North.
Good friends of the Opposition, the
Slavery question will not. can not,
: ought not to be ignored" though it
has stood, and always will stand, in
the way Of your success. Anti-Slave-
ny is devil that will not down! ex.
, cept at the bidding of Democracy.
Most of You ESPECIALLY your lea
ders, Bolts and Bell we are sorry
. to say. have always been too indul-
gent too much upon an equality
!, with-the wild beast, ever to rule
him, much less to hurl him to the
ground and put your foot upon his
neck ! This the Democracy can do,

Austrian Barbarltifs,

The civilization of modern times
does not seem to have had much ef-
feet upon the Emperor of Austria,
who appears determined to prosecute
the present war with all the attend.
ant cruelties which marked the con.
quests of barbarous ages He does
not regard the moral effect such q
course mus! necessarily produce in
all civilized communities. A war OF
devastation, waged against the peo-
pie of a country, instead of being
carried on against its rulers, is so COW
ardly and disgracelul thing that ii
must create a feeling of indignation
throughout the civilized world.

The Know othiDgs in Louisiana.

Hon George Eustis, who for years
has been the Know Nothing repre-
sentative in Congress from the First
District. of Louisiana, and the head
and front of that party in New
Orleans, has written a letter to bis
constituents declining to be again a
candidate for their sufirages. He
says:

occupied by the Republican and Dem

"ABoLETIoN POTATOES. Under
the above caption the Charleston Cou-
rier mentions little fact that ought
TO be borne in mind. 1t ssys friend
in that city recently had occasion
lately, in a letter to a brother now
residing in Philadelphia, to make in
quiries concerning the vegetable mar
kets aud referred to potatoes especi-
ally. The brother in Philadelphia
gives the following information in re-
ply:
The Quakers are prejudiced a
gainst Charleston potatoes; and you
may laugh at the idea, bat it is a
fact that the internal abolitionlsts,
who go 20 market, actually always
ask if they are Southern vegetables;
if so, they won't touch them with a
forty foot pole. What do you think
of that? We Southerners pour our
money into their laps as it we're,
while they are SO bitter against us
that they will not buy Southern
produce and vegetables if they know
it. There is nut for your Charles
ton folks to crack"

The CanyasS--.Gev. Harris.

We have the most cheering news
from every section of the State
The old camp. fires are blazing bright
", and The true party men, active
and energetic, are enlisting in the
canvass. The untiring and perse
vering efforts of Gov. Harris are
arousing the Democracy wherever
he has yet spoken. and from the low
lands of the West to the hill-tops
of East Tennessee. one universal
shout goes forth The speeches o.
Gov. Harris are producing most
powerful effect. With Netherland
record in hand, and with an ability
and spirit bold enough to lay it bare
TO the execrations of the people, oul
standard bearer has been greeted
with extraordinary enthusiasm.
During the first week of the canvass
bv great eXertion. tremendous putt
ing and Dragging. Netherland was en-
abled to keep his head above water
but soon as Gov. Harris attached
to him the huge mass of lead extract
ed from the public records, Neither
land sunk deeper in the political wa
tiers than plummet ever sounded.
While our candidate is sustained
by right principles and popular SEN
!iment, bis general department con-
;rasts most favorably with his oppo-
nent. Gov. Harris manner of speak
ingsat once exhibits his straigbttor'
ward honesty Of heart and purpose.
He addresses himself to the good
sense and understanding of the peo-
pls. What a contrast between the
tvo.men! Harris is man of firm
ness-Netherland is all fckleness;
Harris is sound, solid reasoner
Netherland is a clustering. reckless
declaimer; Harris is consistent,
straightforward politician--Nether-
land assumes any position to suit the
occasion; Harris advocates principles,
and is clear, manly and able 10 ar
gument- Netherlands speeches are
trivial in style. Astounding in clap-trap
and stale anecdotes. There is sub
stance. point and craftsmanship in
Observation-Disclosures has nothing in
his harauguas but trash and balder-
dash IT is useless to say that in
choosing between two such men
the people will rally to the support OF
the gallant aud patriotic Harris.

OyERRUN BY SCoUNDRELs.-New
Orleans is said to be almost overrun
by scoundrels. The boldest robber-
les are committed every night, and
the papers advise people who travel
late at night or early in the morning
to keep sharp eyes On all persons
they Eeet. Some Of the rascals
have delicate tastes. One OF them,
a few days ago, carried off four thou.
sand cigars. Nothing appears to
alarm the miscreants but the occa-
sional talk Of vigilance committee.
The terrific certainty and expedition
with which crime is discovered and
punished by these popular courts,
chill the heart Of the highwayman
and palsy the hand Of the assassin.

We learn from the Memphis Ava

q Democratic SeuGte! Whereu2on,
Gov. Harris exposed the ignorance

sion of Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, and that after some
debate the vote was taken and pass
ed BY Democratic Senate bya vote

nearly to man for it, and the black

and Crittenden of Kentucky--tbe
very two men now spoken of as the

Again: Col. NetherlsDd had asser-
ted that the Democratic party deserv-
ed no credit fol acquiring Louisiana

there is DO convenient water for the
