Some time ago when Mr. ETHERIDGE introduced
into Congress, for the qualification of his Black Re-
publican allies his famous ant-slave trade resou-
tions, the Radical A6OIon'st, paper published in
New York, said trulhfuly:
"Mr Btheridge's resolution strikes beyond The Afr-
can slave trade IT CONDEMNS THE AMERICAN SLAVE
TRADE, AND THE PRACTICE OF sLAvE-HoLDING, with
which il is identified"
The Nashville Bonner contained an editorial on
the subject of the slave trade which we find copied
approyingly into the National Era, the organ Of
AbOlitiOnism at Washington. The Era expresses the
hope that the Banner correctly represents the real
sentiment of the more NORTHERN slave States
The Era itacses the following sentence in the Ban
as article worthy of the special attention of its
Abolition readers
"Our fanatics are sven worse than the fanatics of
the North for they add the crime of perjury to their
want of respect for the laws"
Such is the aid and comfort which leading mem
bers Of the Opposition in our own State are furnish
ing the fanatics at the North; and such the mode
in which they propose to quiet the agitation of the
slavery question,

1t is said that the Oppositoniss do not intend to
have any national platform. Would not Bell and
Clemens, McMshon and Donelson, make a happy
crew, sitting side by side on one single bench
MeMahon and Donelsen would spill one anolher's
'claret" in less than five minutes for the gentle
mar who "couId have been elected Pee President

not forgotten the stabs and kicks inflicted on his
body political by the Bulletin in 1856. Would not
Jere Clemens, whose Mecca is the Hermitage, pre-
sent beautiful aspect hob-nobbiDg with John Bell
who pursued Old Hickory with uDdying hate from
his manhood 10 his grave! Great God! this picture
is bad and true enough, even here in Tennessee.
But Pryor, look beyond let US behold the National
Convention of the Opposition. Seward, Hale, Gid
digs, Sumner and Wilson enter from the Northern
aisle, while Clemens, McMshon, Dolelson and Bell,
with their heads lowed down in shame, enter from
the Southern. In like manner the broken down,
come together; crowds from the grsve-yards of
Americansm and the charnel-houses of Whggery,
and myriads from the infamous dens of Greeleyism
aud FreoLoveism, and the dirty hosts Of Black Re-
pubcsuism will all be eongregated in this fesrful
sssemby-place of what the Bulletin terms, sal the
sieaaeats Of the Opposition"
Can this cOngregattd mass Of irrecoucilsble iu-
congruites make national plstform7 believe
that as soon as Mcmahon and Clemens look upon
the ''goblins damned" and the hays and hurridsns
by whom they will be surrounded, they will turn
away in horror and disgust and fear, greatly,
break their necks getting out Of the Internal hole
So far from making platform they can never, cir,

Col. n. IN his reply said /:

If the Governor understood him (Col Netherland)
to say that be had constantly denounced the Citi-
zens Bank as asWindIe from Gallltin to this point
he misunderstood him; or, at all events. he (Cel.
Netherland) did not intend so to state the fact.
Yet. he could not be mistaken to the fact that he
had heard Gov. H. call it q swindliDg concern.
Gov. II. stepped forward, and said that he Gers
tsinly had 10 recollection of having used the Ian
guage that it was 'slriadle" OF ''scindling con-
Germ" and did not think that he had done so. He
had everywhere referred TO the fact of the failure
Of the bank and the loss to the people that resulted
from it, just as he had done here to-day; but tn,
use Of epithets denunciatOns was not in keeping
with his universal mode Of conducting political dis
cussions and he did not think he had used the cpl
tibet. Col. n. had never, before to day, said word
as to the use of this language, and il is not diff
cult to understand the motive for doing so here.
Col. y said he was certain that Gov. II. had used
lhe language at several places. Gov. H. inquired
where? Name the places Col. n said at Spring
field and he thought Gallatin; and it was true that
the language was used in thy heat Of debate, and
that he Ind never spoken of Gov. H. using the lam
guge before; but he had said something about what
would be done amongst the Polk Democracy.

a few days since, we mentioned
that an armed band of Cheyenne In
dians had made descent on a Pawncc
village, and in the absence of the
warriors, masSacrcd the old men,
women and children, and laid waste
their village. 1t appears the Pawnces
arc now in pursuit of their enemies
and in their march arc proving a scri-
Gus annoyance to the whites, thieving,
robbing, and in some instances even
attacking those through whose settle
mcnts they are passing. The Omaha
Ncbraskian of Saturday, 2d inst, says:
yesterday afternoon, two men came
into the city in great haste, bringing
the intelligence that party of eleven
Pawnees had attacked four white set
Elements the night before, near the
town of De Witt, Dodge county, some
ten miles northwest of Fontanelle,
and about forty miles from this city.
The Indians were repulsed with the
loss of four of their number killed
One of the whites was wounded, but
not seriously.
Our informant says that from 700
to 500 Pawncc warriors were encamp-
ed but a short distance from the skirIn-
ish referred to, and serious difficulties
were apprehcnded. All the whites in
that region had armed themselves,
and were momentarily expecting re-
newal of hostilities. They brought
a petition to Governor Black, urging
the necessity of calling out the militia
for their protection. a small body
of men, well armed, left this city for
the scat of war last night, and others
will follow to-day.
1t is believed that the savagcs are a
portion of the band sent out against
the Cheyennes, and fears are enter
tained that they will ravage the settle
ments near them before starting out.
A couple of Pawnee runners, evident
ly spies, were arrested In this city
last evening and lodged in Jail. They
were endeavoring to get out of town
Just as the armed force from here was
starting.

We learn that free born colored man of this city,
named Henry Price, narrowly escaped being sold into
slavery in the State of Missouri short time ago. One
of the and gentle laws in the State is founded upon
the hypothesis that every coored man is supposed to be
slave unless he prove that he free AS the South
ern Presbyterian Review expresses it. He is believed to
have right to the status in which he is born and the
presumption OF law Is, that it is status of slavery The
slave holders always talk earnedly and warmly in favor
of good feeling between the free and slave States and laws
that shall foster sentiment of good neghborhood This
law relative to free coored people, of that it
is intended to Indicate kindly feeling toward white
who believe it great crime in another to be Guilty of
skin not colored like their own
1t seems that Price being in ST. Louis steward on one
of boats, sent of errand into the city,
caught by thief, put in Jail a fugitive and laid in
prison more than week, and finally obliged to pay
Sl4 fees before he set at liberty Had he been
able to prove his conton-that of free man-he would
have been sold into slavery to pay the charges OF his
keeping.
Such outrascs need comment; they speak so loudly
for themselves.

berand county, few days and sell them hope

with the escape of fugitive rons slaveryPt Gaz
