The Opposition In Rutherford.

We learn from private source, that the
meeting of the Opposition in Rutherford on
Monday last was one of tSe largast and most
enthusiastic primary meetings ever held in
that county. The convention made the
following nominations: DR.. JOHN w. RICHARD
SON for Senator for the Counties of Ruther-
ford and Williamson; A. NJ. Mcknight. for
representative from Rutherford; and POLLARD
REYNOLDS for representative from the floating
district or Rutherford and Bedford.
The proceedings were characterized by the
utmost harmony; and spirit of unyielding
opposition to the evil deeds of modern sham
Democracy pervadedthe meeting. We under
stand that there was an influential Democrat,
of lifelong standing present and participating
in the meeting, who expressed in the warmest
terms, his disgust for the corrupt practices of
his party.
The Opposition in Rutherford is vide
awake, and we hail their nominations as
equivalent to success.

misled in regard to the opinions of the North
ern Democracy on this slavery question. Nor
can it, with truth, be denied that to this de-
ception may justly be ascribed, for the most
part, the party ascendancy which the Demo-
cratic leaders of the South have been enabled
to achieve in their section Of the Union.
1t was under the impression produced on
the Southern mind by the most solemn, and
| constantly repeated assurances of the Demo-
cratic leaders and organs of the South, that
the Democratic party at the North recognized
the constitutional rights of the South on the
slavery question, and that it was the only
party at the North which did recognize these
rights-it was under this erroneous impress
sion, we say. thus produced on the Southern
mind, that the Wing party went down in the
South. 1t was under this impression that
majority OF votes in every Southern State,
save Maryland, were cast against MnIARp
FILLMORE at the last election. 1t is under
this impression that the Democratic masses of
the South would vote to-day, if called to the
polls. And yet it is all monstrous DECEPTION.
as exhibited the clear light of day, by the
declaration of the Senator'S. Northern and
Southern. who participated in the great quar-
rel which :. came off, 10 the Senate on the
23i ult. Behold those Senators. standn O front

The last number Of that very ably conduct


The last number OF that very ably conduct
ed journal, the Railroad Record, Published at
Cincinnati. furnishes some Interesting facts
which, though having immediate and exclu-
sive reference to the railroads of the North
western States, most strikingly illustrate the
value and Importance of railroads generally.
and fully establish the wisdom of the policy
of Tennessee in affording State aid to the
construction of railroads within its limits.
1t appears, that il. the six States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Iowa, there were, in 1852, 2,67S miles of rail-
road-that since that year there have been
6,646 miles more completed-being an aver
age of l.100 miles for each of the six years
since 1852.
The average cost per mile has been $685.
600, and the average annual expenditures,
s3S,0OO,O0 sufficient to employ, at the
average of wages, one hundred thousand able
bodied men.
This expenditure has bad donble effect
on the Improvement of the country-first, in
the employment of so many men-secondIy,
by furnishing facilities tor carrying off the
produce of the country. This last effect says
the very able editor of the Record E. d.
MANSFIELD. no one can sufficiently estimate
1t has reduced by one half the cost of trans
portation, and given positive value in mar
ket to every bushel of grain on the remotest
farm. The effect of this is seen in the in
creased value of improved farms in the pro-
ducing States-in Ohio. for example. the
value of the property in which has increased
from s5O7 581 ,91l in 1852, to $3.50, 900. 900
in 1S58-being an aggregate increase of
$3.50, 0.000, in six years, and an average
annual increase of 5S0O0,OOO.
While the annual increase in the value of
property in Ohio has been $4,000. 900, the
annual expenditures on railroads in the same
State have amounted to 1O,OOO 600 per an
mum; so that the improved value of the
State property has been six times greater than
the whole amount expended on railroads.
The increased value of property in the North
western States, in the last six years, has been
about one thousand millions of dollars while
the expenditures on railroads 10 those States,
within that time, have been two hundred mil
lions.
. Whatever effect on that increase of proper
ty has been produced by Railroads.&c. is certain
that the Northwestern States could afford to
give the entire cost of all their roads; and
yet have left near eight hundred millions of
increased value of property.
Such result has not been produced by
any species of social machinery, since the
world began.
Beyond all question, similar results must
follow the completion of the railroads now
being constructed in Tennessee, and in the
increased valued of State property repay
the amount expended in their con-
struction. ~

WEDNESDAY, MARCH ., 1859.
Dea,h eff hon. aaron v. brown.

The Postmaster General. Hon. AARON V.
Brown. died, yesterday morning, athaif past
nine O'Clock, at Washington City. lie was
attacked several days ago with pneumonia.
= The public dispatches had led us to the con-
ciusion that his Illness was not so serions as
) 30 create apprehensions for his life. Night
before last, however, members of his family
in this city received intelligence of his ex-
IRENE Illness, and a few minutes after the
melancholy event occurred it was made
known here. ~ e.. ~
His public history is familiar to the people
of Tennessee, having been long and promi-
neutly before them as State Legislator, a
representative in Congress, The Governor of
the State. and finally as Postmaster General
in the Cabinet of Mr.. BUCHANAN. He was a
warm and jealous partisan, and as such had
many devoted political friends and many de-
termincd political enemies. But his strong
political predictions were not permitted to
interfere with his social feelings or relations,
and here, among his old neighbors and many
personal irieRds, the announcement of his
death will be received as a great social
calamity.
