Masonic Celebration


At an early hour on Friday 24ih inst,
we started for Morristown TO witness the
Masonic Demonstration. On our arrival
we found the Town as quiet as country

of horses, friendly greetings and shouts OF

was filled with vehicles of various kind.

What Our Dogs Cost Us

We extract from the Assessors returns to
the County Aditor, the amount of sheep
killed and injured in The County, during the
past year. The result is anything but en-

The whole number of sheep killed was
one thousand and nine. The number in

twenty five. The amount of injury done in
killed and damaged, is estimated at the round
sum Of THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AgD

A Splinter GOV. Harris,s Foot.

Gov. Harris tainted Col Netherland at
nearly every discussion before reaching Mem
phis. for his vote in 1851 to charter the Citi-
zens' Bank, which the Governor denounced
as a grand s,Cuadle
At Covngton and other places where the
candidates met, Col. Netherland told his EX-
celency when they reached Memphis and had
to face the Polk Democracy, he would find
his tune too high pitched, and would fall a
note or two.
Well. as predicted Gov. Harris not only
left out the word s,ciadie here, but actually
denied ever having used it during the can
Vass.
Now it is we'll known that the Aoaldnche
contains q report of Gov Harris's speech at
Gallatin. by Mr.. MuEday, Democrat of the
true faith in which the word stoltdie applied
to the Citizens Bank is used.
OF this report the AUdLdnche of the 9th inst,
says:
I'VE publish to-day an interesting and well
written report of the second days discussion
between the candidates for Governor. Our
correspondent, to whom we acknowledge
ourselves under many obligations, is one Of
the most reliable gentlemen in Sumner
county"
A highly respectable gentleman from Gov
ingtOn, Mr.. Cheek, Informs us that ut the dis
cuSson in that town, Gov. Harris did say the
Citizens Bank a grand swinde, which
had brought ruin upon a great number of
people.
The statement is strictly true, and had
Gov. Harris faced the music like man, it
would have strengthened him in this com
munity; but to back down, and dodge the re-
sponsibility of his own deliberate words made
his own party ashamed of him.--HeHiPhis En-

A Rich Scene.

Ridiculous scenes in legislative bodies are
not, it seems confined to the United States.
In the Canadian House of Assembly, lately.
IA spirited debate occurred on Il bill to pro-
hibit the use of hoops and crinoline, when
the following intellectual passage at arms
occurred, which has scarcely parallel:
Mr.. DrummOnd was an ardent admlrer OF
hoops from childhood. He was born with Il
love of hoops. When he was a child offender
growth, he used to trumble his hoop uncon-
scuus of the fate that was in store for him.
Later in life he had swallowed ring, which
resulted in a hoop-in-coagh, and even now
the sight of an empty hogshead brought tears
To his eyes.
Mr. Brown complained that it was impossi-
BILE now to choose Il wife, since her defects
were SO hid by hoops, and enveloyed in
crnoline. that the naked
Speaker-Ordcr.
Mr.. Brown-Mr. Speaker
Speaker-The honorable gentleman is out

Mr. Brown-But. Mr.. Speaker, the naked
Speaker-Hold your tongue, sir
Mr.. Brown-The naked
Speaker-Upon my soul, Mr. Brown; cork
up, or I'll have you arrested.
Mr.. Brown-Permit me to explain, Mr..
Speaker. When | said the naked
Speaker yellingl-Clear the galleries OF
ladies, Mr. Sergeant.
Mr. Brown--In the name of the seventeen
graces and the fifteen muses., Mr.. Speaker
dearly beloved Smith-let me apollo gize then.
| only meant to say that hoops and crinoline
had reached to such a redundancy, that it was
impossible to arrive at the naked
Speaker-[ franticallyl Death and blue
devils. Stop, or IN brain you with the mace.
Consider the improperly Of
Mr. Brown--[wildlyl- Truth! truth
naked truth, was what was going TO say.
Mr. Dunbar Ross understood his honorable
friend to say that people cannot pass along
the street wsthout being as saultcd by high
waymen. Now, surely the honorable member
from Lake Ontario could not but be aware
that the character OF every member IN the
House was affected by such dam
Mr.. Talbot objected to such unparliamenta-
ry language.
Mr.. Ross protested against interruption.
He was going to say, by such dam
Mr. J. Cameron-The honorable member
should not swear in that dreadful manner.
Mr.. Ross-Wasn't doing anything of the
kind; but would be tempted TO do so, if not
allowed To finish his sentance-buI such a
dam [orler, order,l dam, [confusioul he
would repeat it, by such u dam Tremendous

Mr.. Wright stood up and, moved, amidst
the widest confusion, that Mr.. Ross be
expelled from the House for such awful Ian
guage.
Mr.. Ross [black in the facel exclaimed
that damaging statements was all he meant

self presumptuous if asked that my own
should be published, and should discard the
friend who asked for me such privilege, be-
cause it would be unfair, illiberal and unjust.
Who is there here who knows precisely what
was in that speech? / took notes of it, and
have studied it ever since: but am not sure
that understand all its points; | know its
leading propositions and | intend to show
that these leading propositions lead to high
treason, and that the only escape that is held
ont TO acknowledged felons is through per-
jury in the jury box-the most vicious moral
ity ever daringly inculeated in free country
before. undertake to say that il the morali-
ty of that speech should find popular sane
ton in this country, the country would not
be worthy of being the residence of any hon.
est man or patriot.
The carnestness with which this was said
and the conviction of the truth of the senti-
ment, raised the enthusiasm of some. awaken
ed the patriotism of others. and excited the
laughter of still more, and for some moments
the mingled expressions of these various feel
ings to which the audience gave vent, caused
the orator to parse in his vehement language.
Resnming il, he said:
1t is an attempt to break down everything
like chastity and purity in public life, and 10
reduce public honor TO a mere shadow. Every
thing like purity and respectability would be
lost to the people forever, If they should de-
liberately give their sanction to the accursed
mOustrosties of this most extraordinary
speech. That is my opinion of it, and l defy
any man to come before me and refute what
| say. | would say it in the bosom of South
Carolina. face to face with every man thai
South Carolina contains. (Applause) would
say it in Charleston, would say it every
where, and dare contradiction. Now, gen
| tlemen, take your own course about the mat
ter. If yOn choose to give your sanction in
advance to that speech. before we have a
chance to answer it. do so. But l tell you
that we intend to answer it deliberately, par
agraph by paragraph, line by line, position
by position; and we pledge ourselves before
God that entertain thorough conviction
that we will overthrow every proposition in
it, culiify all its insane teachings, and make
the man who delivered it ashamed that he
ever dared to emerge from his own State for
the purpose of high treason. (Applause.) |
regret to have felt compelled to express my
self so. and to denounce speech delivered
by gentleman with whom | have no person
al acquaintance; but am prepared to go to
the world and make good every position that
have laid down, on any field of warfare, of
any sort or description that any man can
name.
The editor of the Yicksburg True SOuthrOn

but slowly, and the Convention adjourned.
