Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1859-11-05

The Cry PREss-The Nesos leads off with
an article on the warfare on Mr.. BELL Ii
also has an article in defense Of EMERSON
ErHERIDGE. Mr.. BELL has had good many
hard things said about him of late years. but
a. they have generally been said BY people
who have very long ears. they have attracted
little attention from him, and have done
much less harm. 1t has been, and still is.
said that the sun has spots upon il, but if il
shines any the less bright on that account,
nobody has found it out BE thou as pure
AZ ice aud chaste as snow, thou shalt not
escape calumny.n While living. HENRY
CLAY was denounced by the Democracy as q
devil; when dead, they yelled their eyes before
his tomb. and awarded him a place among
the gods. JOHN BELL is the subject of the
same calumnies now, and will receive the
same opotheosis when dead. The local Netrs
writes at length about the (" Irrepressible
Conflict"
The Banners leader is on the same subject,
and includes a touch at GIDDINGs. 1t is down
on JOSH heavy-but not too heavy. 1t just as
the Banner says: JOSH had just as lief steal
hog as a slave: in other words, he'd as lief
steal ham as a son of Ham. When there is
auy abolition rascality to he done, he is al
ways ready to take sides, put his shoulders to
the wheel, and help to shove the work ahead.
He is a rascal of no middling quality; he is
cheek-by-jowi with all sorts of Black Repub
lican fanatics, and goes the whole hog in all
their schemes against the South. The local
Banner il after 'Bonner's yarn" worse than
ever. It's bill of the Hidden Foot" the
Great Lrjur Story dramatiZed," is not bad
stagger at "a burlesque. On the contrary, 1t
is a very good one.
The Gazette gives us brief history of the
rise, progress, and present state" of trea-

The Union and american, in an article on
the Baltimore election riots, re-produccs
the cream of Gov. JoHNsoNs speeches against
the Know -Nothings at Murfreesboro and
Manchester in 1855. The Union and Anaert-
can has periodical breaking out OF this sort,
and if it's readers don't have their feelings
narrowed up in this way at least every two
months, they don't enjoy good health. And
80, if that paper were to live thousand
wears after the next Presidential election.
(and we sincerely hope it may). it would
have an article the day before it's death
about the "Know-Notbing ruffians'' and their
"saturnalia of blood" 1t knows that such
terrible words have Fearful look to the
unlettercd Democracy of the black jacks aud
give them all idea that the editor is tire
MENUS fellow, who has the power and the
courage TO. 'tar things up monsus." Here is
paragraph which will cause the fried-meat
Democracy among the hills who read the
Union and american, to dream Of ghosts and
COLLINS ID for The next six months
They will think that the man who wrote it
is at last nineteen feet high, has voice like
equinoxial thunder, and is always sur
rounded in his sanctum by glorious halo Of
ineffable sheet-lightning:
"The footprints OF the KnowNothIng
party are marked in blood Its triumphs
have been the triumphs of force and violence
over law and order. Its fields of conquest
are always red with carnage. Like the
bloody signals which are used to call its cut
throats together, it's standards all GRIM
son with the stain of guilt. 1t can only live
in an atmosphere Of crime, and it breathea
no air that is not tainted and ietid with the
carcasses of its victims"
All, little they think that these sublime
sentiments, so like to the utterances of
god, are written on scrap OF cheap foolscap
by q mild hammered man who stands scarcely
more than five feet six in his boots and who
wouldn't hesitate to sample bottle of old
Bourbon with the most unmistakable Know
Nothing in town!
