LAST NIGHT-SPEECHES BY Mr. BELL AND
Gov. BROwN.-An immense number of the
Opposition party of Nashville assembled on
Deaderick street soon after supper last night,
and preceded by band of music, repaired
to the City Hotel, in front of which they
balted and called for the Hon. john BELL.
Mr.. BELL appeared in response TO the call,
and made briet speech, cOlgratulating the
members of the party present upon the re-
suit of the Congressional elections in this
State. His remarks, which were delivered
with characteristic dignity and eloquesce
were received with frequent barsts of APP
plause-
After hearing Mr.. BELL, the large assembly
repaired to the residence OF the Hon. NELL
S BRowN in Edgfeeld and having heard a
stirring address from him, retained to the
city and had general jollifcation- In their
march throughout the principal streets, they
balted in front of the residences of Aessrs.
ST. CLAIR NJ. MORGAN and JAMES z. RAMS
each of whom delivered brief but enthusiastic
speeches.
The Opposition, although they have not
elected their candidate for Governor, nor
mojerity of the Legislature, feel nevertheless
that they have achieved a victory. and are
satisfied with the result. 1t is to be ex-
peeted then that they will rejoice over their
SUCCESS

THE WINANs STEAMER. Another expert
mental trip has just been made with this
vessel. The Baltimore AmeriddR says a uni
form speed of Is miles an hour, carefully
timed by the buoys, was attained with Sc
revolutions per minute, the boilers working
TO about one-third of their capacity; and it
being, even to the inexpert in these matters,
apparent that they were playing with their
work.
As the experiment was mainly directed to
the question Of fuel, under certain circum-
stances, no effort was made looking to speed
alone, but quite enough was done to remove
all doubt as to the ultimate and triumphant
success of the principles involved in the pro-
peller, and the power required to attain the
maximum speed in this new form of naval
architecture. The results in sea way are
yet, of course, to be tested.

DARING FEAT.-BLondua to be Eclipsed.--Mr.
7. w. Aymar, favorite performer in the
Louis Wells equestrian troupe. says the Bos-
ton Herald, is about making arrangements to
do some sOmersaults ut Niagara which will
entirely eclipse NJ. Blondin;s feat of tight
rope walking. He proposes. if Mr.. Porter
will allow scaffolding to be erected on Goat
Island, TO turn a somcrsault down in the wa
ter at the foot of the island, depth of one
hundred and seventy feet from the point
where he springs. He chooses this place be-
cause it is the only one with sufficient depth
Of water for him to alight in. The bare con-
templatiag of such a feat, as of thing actu-
ally to be accomplished, stamps Mr.. Aymar as
one of the boldcst public performers the world
ever saw. If he takes the daring leap, and
lives, he is Individually the worlds champion
in his line

TUESDAY MORNING, ]. AUGUST ., 1859

The GRAND DISPLAY THAT DIDS'r CONE
OFF.-Last night was to have been grand
and glorious time with the no longer unterri-
fed Democracy of this city but it was MT.
Ere the night came they ..saw their giories
one by one ire,"-they saw SAM SMITH go
down beneath me lance of BRABsoN, and the
bright sword of the dread EraERIDGE wave
above the PROSTATE and vanquisbed ADxNs'
and their magnificent display was indef-
nitely postponed.
A vague rumor, hgshed and scarcely heard,
like the soft whisper of the night-wind, reach
ed the city that ADKINS had defeated ETHER
IDGE and when an hour passed on, and no
message came over the wires to contradict il,
a living tomb was gradually lifted from the
hearts of the Democracy, and they prepared
to rejoice with exceeding great joy. Some
body's doublejointed furniture car was en-
gagged, and the harness-makers we're put TO
making reins with which to drive sixteen
horses" for all the world like SO many
grand-consolidated circus folks. Flags were
printed by the acre to adorn the horses
and the car, and "forty boxes of candles"
were laid in 10 be offered up as burning
sacrifice TO to the aIl-conquering ADKINS.
The town was to be illuminated and turned
upside down, there was 10 be a high carnival
of rejoicing, such as Rome never saw, and a
vhirIwind of hubbub and hurrah that should
oshake the scar leaves from the trees,
As If Il storm past by"
But night came and went, and The voice of
Democracy wes A,hInbeard. The |'forty box
es of candles" were quietly thrown back up
on the grocer's hands, and the sixteen
horses remained Embarrassed ia their stalls
Postponed on account of the weather"
Another dispatch came announcing the cleo
ton OF ETHERIDGE and the ID N ocracy con-
claded not TO rejoice.

WHAT THEY HAVE GAINEB.-The Demo-
cratic party claim to have gained someth,'ag in
the late contest in this State; and up to the
hour Of going to press, we have not been able
to find anybody who is at all inclined to dis
pute the claim. Yes, they gained something.
There can be no two ways of thinking about
that But what did they gain? Why. they
gained, and handsomely too, Gov. HARRIS
celebrated .Bob-tailed Pony to say nothing
about quite a number of implements OF hus-
bandry. There is something substantial
about that "Poney," and as he is destined to
occupy prominent place in the political
history of Tennessee, we give here a striking
likeness of him which every reader--par-
ticularly every Democratic reader-shodld

NASHVILLE AND MEMPHB.-We are glad to
be able to lay before our readers every
evidence OF the progress of our sister city
Memphis, being Of the same state aud family
as ourselves At the late Governors election
the aggregate vote of Memphis was tels-
graphed to Nashville as being 2944, with the
query, what is the aggregate vote of Nash-
ville?1
BY the returns it will be seen that the
aggregate vote of this city is 1902, indicating
a population of $4,000, allowing one vote To
every eight or nine persons BY the same
rule the population of Memphis is about "a
0O0-s slight difference: but not wholly so
glaring as the difference between the two
places in a political view. Aemphis aud
the county of Shelby have elected Demo-
Gratis to the Legislature entirely, while Nash
Vile and Davidson elected oil Opposition
members Every ward of this city gave
majority for the Opposition candidates;-

there should be no difference in the degree of

of the compromises whereof the Constitution
was adopted.
