The Discussion Al Clarksville.


The Clarksville Chronicle gives the fol-
lowing account ofthc discussion in that
city.on Thursday:
Col. Netherland led off in speech of
an hour and half, made up of important
facts, and compact and lucid argument in
proof OF the gross corruption Of the dem
ocratic party. And so admirably did he
arrange his facts, and so pointed did he
make his argument, that the humblest ca
pacity could comprehend both, and the
most hardened democrat feel their force.
Upon State politics, he was candid in the
expression of his views. announced him.

the counter where issued. and in favor of
the re-charter of the Union and Planters
Banks. Take it, all in all, il was telling
speech, and we do not remember to have
heard one more effective, in manner and
matter.
Governor Harris ingeniously evaded
the currency question-committing him
self to no policy; though pointedly chal-
lenged to do so by his competitor. After
this dodge, he devoted .naarly an hour to
a windy, bombastic historyOf parties. and
reading from Giddings. Greedy, John Mi
nor Bolts, Richmond Wing, the Banner
and Patriot of Nashville, and other au-
thorities, to prove-whats That the OPP
position of the South are seeking an alli-
ance with abolitionists-a proposition too
absurd to be assumed by any sensible man
who is not striving to stultiiy the masses
But all this stuff was received with cold
indifference by the crowd which was too
intelligent to be deceived by so palpable
an absurdity.
The debate was conducted with marked
courtesy, and whilst it must be conceded
that Col. Netherand gained decided
victory, Gov. Harris proved himself a
ready dictator, and an ingenious dodger.
We say Col. Netherland gained decided
victory, and there is no better proof of
that fact than the evident i'll nature of
many of the democrats--some of whom
we heard tauntingly remark-"Nether-
land has got the laugh on him, but that
is ALL" He has got the laugh on him,
and ifhe keeps it through the canvass,
will have it at the close of the polls. The
Opposition is in high spirits-delighted
with their able and gallant standard bear
er, and delighted with their PROSPECTS,.

LEcIsLArrvE.--It was stated upon the
street a few days ago, upon our authority,
that ALFRED CALDWELL was candidate to
represent McMinn county in the lower
house of the next General Assembly, and
that his name would be announced in
this weeks paper. At subsequent inter
view with Mr.. Caldwell we learned that
we were partially wrong, and that his be-
coming candidate was as yet contingent,
and about which he could not determine
positively for day or two. 1t is due to
Mr.. Caldwell to make this statement in
order to prevent misapprehension.

IA From the position Governor Harris
has taken in the canvass, it is evidently
the intention of the democratic leaders,
if he should be reelected and they carry
the Legislature, to wage war of exter-
mination against all banking institutions.
The old stock banks will be swept out
the branches Of the State Bank will fol-
low, and finally the Parent Bank ITSELF
That is the intended result of the policy
inaugurated, and it will be Contaminated
unless the people take from the demo-
cratic leaders the power to carry that poll
cy out. So far as the currency is concern
ed that is the real issue of the canvass,
the aim and object of the democratic
leaders, and no amount of lodging and
specious pleading can change it.

Circuit Court has been in session in
Monroe county this week. On Tuesday
there was much larger crowd than usual
at Madisonville-in fact, perfect ava

bies, drawn together by the ,SAow, the
chief feature of which was the Elephant

regular candidates for Representative in

men, and it, win probably be pretty
tight race. Jack can out-fb 10, but we
think 10 can outrun him little. 1t is
understood that Col. johnson, of Tellico
who has been announced in the Cleveland
Banner for some time for the same posi-
ton, will withdraw. We are glad of it,
The Col. is altogether q too modest and
unassuming man to engage in scramble

pSy- The democratic party have

10- The democratic party have, in
their day and generation, created more
banks than any other party which has
ever existed in our country. They are
mainly responsible for the worthless cur
rency which has afflicted every portion of
the nation; and the leaders of that party
now wish to close their experiment in
tinkering with the currency by wiping
out all banks, striking down the good with
the bad, looping off the sound as well as
the diseased members. When they shall
have succeeded in doing that, and throw
ing the business interests upon a purely
metallic circulation, the poor mechanic"
and the unfortunate laboring man."
whose welfare and prosperity is so largely
exciting the sympathy of Gov. Harris and
his organ at Nashville just now, will be

thing, and practice another: The whole
policy of the present dominant party in
this State is at war with the best interests
of the industrial classes, the farmer, the
merchant, the ''poor mechanic" and the
hardy man who toils by the day for the
support of his family, and will prove ruin

gsy" John Mitchell, the Irish patriot"
still continues to pour hot shot into the
National Democracy. Here is his latest
broadside:
mo ambiguity at all, gentlemen-no
uncertainty of objects. The Pennsylvania
Democrats, like all other Northern Demo-
Gratis, are Free-soilers. Of course we ex-
cept the ofiice-holders, who are not at
present Free-soilers, but merely free-boot-
ers. Eventual alliance, say you, between
Black Republicans and the Northern
Democracy? There is present and close
alliance against the South. They have,
and will have, their own quarrels; but as
against the South, they are unit. What
are you to infer? Infer that the worst
enemies of the South, and those against
whom we are bound most resolutely to
defend ourselves, are the Northern DEM
ocrats and their tricnds."

JoHS MITcHELL's OPINIoN.-The editor
of the Southern Citizen, who belongs to
the Democratic party, and is therefore
competent to speak of its character, says:
Ny own decided opinion is that at the
present moment the Southerners who are
the most effective allies of Mr.. Seward
and the North, are those who call them
selves National Democrats. These are not
the worst people at the South, and most
of them mean we'll: hst they cannot dis
Germ the signs of the times. Their party
at the North is wholly Free-soil party
is as resolutely Northern, for all Northern
purposes as the abolitionists themselves,
but infinitely wiser, and therefore more
fatal.

Tho Charges Against the Demo-
cratic Leaders.


We want to call attention to the facts
and figures published in to-days paper,
showing up tho wastefulness and extnva-
gance Of the leaders Of the democratic
party. They are taken from reliable
sources, and the reader, especially the
democratic reader, should keep them i'm
pressed upon his mind. We are sensible
that an effort is being madeby democratic
speakers and democratic papers, to evade
the responsibility and locate it where it
does not properly belong. But with the
exception, perhaps, of one Congress, the
democratic party have had thepower, and
were at all times able to stop the leaks,
frauds and corruptions which have led the
government to its present pitiable condi-
ton. With one exception they have had
a majority in both Houses, and always in
the Senate. They have occupied the po-
sition of custodians of the public inter
ests for years-they have had charge of
the public treasure and the revenues of
the government-the sword and the purse
have both been in their hands, and while
they were economical in the use of the
first, they have lavishly squandered the
last. They found thepublic treasury full
to overhowing, and they not only emptied
it, but created debt of forty millions of
dollars. They have instituted unnecessary
offices to reward dirty partizans-they
have put out government contracts to the
highest, and not to the lowest bidder
The leaders have betrayed their trusts be
yond dispute, and they are today before
the country, not trying to defend Their
policy, but striving to dodge the response
bility of their acts and to shift it where il
does not belong. These are no idle as
sertions, unsupported by facts, but they
are susceptible of the clearest demonstra-
ton, and we ask our readers of all parties
to keep them impressed upon their minds
and not suffer themselves to be diverted
from their contemplation by fuss and
hurrah over stale charges and antedelu-
Wan records.

That DEMOCRATIC CoLr.-The Nashville
Union and American wants to know of
Col. Netherland how he broke certain
democratic colt of Hawkins county, in a
contest for the Legislature some years
ago. We can inform the anxious inquirer
exactly how it was. At that time Old
Hawkins had democratic majority of
over sir hundred votes, and Col. Neither
land reduced that majority to one hundred
and toenty-sir. And he will run Harris
down in the same proportion in every
heavy democratic county in the State.
