with varying degrees of profit, but at prices
which. combined with the economy that fol-
lowed the panic of 1857, have lefteverywhere
the broad foundations of healthy consump-
ton
Our impores during the present season ex-
eeed in quantity those of many previous years,
and it is a favorable symptom that they come
in at valuation which is generally from fif-
teen to twenty per cent below the average of
the five years preceding 1858. and this fact in
its turn contributes to animate and extend
trade. Our stores are crowded with custom
ers, who. finding prices to range within the
means of their consumers carry off the stocks
with wonderful rapidity; and while the do
mestic manufactures are run down with or
ders,- the importers generally lament that
they had not extended the lines OF foreign
goods TO the extent of a quarter or third
more. As a natural consequence OF thus pros
porous state of things. everybody is in good
humOr, and the people are not at all disposed
to believe that the country is going to the
devil quite so fast as the politicians wonld
have us suppose. We have always observed
tnat when the politicians find times good, the
people suffer; and when the people have as
much as they can do to attend 10 the active de-
mands of business, the politicians despair of
being able to save the country.
This is precisely the state of affairs this
spring. The whole country presents the most
satisfactory evidences of healthy state of
things in business point of view, and the
people have something better TO. attend to
than political distractions about niggers and
such nonsense. The result will be that we
shall have good business year for all. The
present prosperity among the manufacturers,
mechanics and commercial classes now will
enable them in their turn TO become large
CONSUMERS. Thus prosperity begets prosperi-
ty And If the present fattering promises of
the coming crops are not blighted by an IN
toward season. the farmer will in the harvest
experience the beneficial effects that are now
felt in trade. Under such circumstances we
can afford to let the politicians whine.-N T..

The Union and american plays the Yankee
in regards to the questions we asked on FRI
day morning 10y asking us series. The ex-
plicit replies which we give below, is evidence
that We have no desire to evade. The eva
sion which our contemporary has resorted to is
aracteristic of its party, and we might have
expected as much. 1t is pledged however, to
answer now, and we hope TO hear from it.
ARsleer /. We know nothing of BCRToS,
his business, or his where abouts, and repudi-
ate him and condemn his populations. In this
we are unlike the spells party who attempt
to conceal like conduct on the part of govern
IN mt officials, defend them, and still retain
them in Office.
Ansrer >. The Opposition Legislature to
meet next fall will put honest Americans on
guard" over the State Treasury, and exhibit
in its management II striking contrast to The
corruption and population which the Bucha-
nan administration permits and cCnnives at,
and see that Tennessee does not became bank
rupt. as the General Government has under
the spells dynasty.
Ans.rer B. If the Banks of Tennessee were
10 desire 10 use corrupt money influences TO
sustain them, they had best inquire of y. b."
and Secretary ToUCEY how many votes they
bought with the $50 900 of the peoples mon
ey, with which they secured Tom FLoRENcEs
election in Philadelphia last fall
4nsucer 4. The Patriot thinks that the
Iecompton Constitution is dead issue,
a. 81. AZ
with It. We consider it, or any other issue
in regard to slavery, which the Disunion Dem
ocracy may foment as subordinate TO the over
throw Of The plunderers and disunionisis, and
that Mr. Bell is eminently worthy 20 repre-
sent the party which is destined DO To this.
Ai.s,rer 5. We have decided that the per
mAne.lce of the Union, and the interests that
are bound mp In it, are higher ''considrra-
lions than any which attach to the domestic
questions of Kansas or any other place (; and
that the highest duty OF every patriotic E's'oA-
locing citizen Is to eject from power any par
ty, which Introduces, for selfish purposes, such
questions into the politics OF the eoantry-we
mean the Republicans Of the North, aud the
Locofocos OF Tennessee and the South.
4ns.eer &. II the 9th interrogatory refers
TO JOIN Bell, we answer, that be is u sound,

THE LAZY OFFlCIAIs-Tbe Washington
correspondent OF the Philadelphia Press says:
We cannot walk crom the Capitol to Will
lard's Hotel without hearing the angriest and
sometimes the most touching denunciations
against the heartless and utterly worthless
heads of Departments, who are either too lazy
or too incompetent TO attend TO the business
of the people, and who are more than half
their time closeted with politicians, instead
of dispatchng the business of their citizen
masters. One case in particular has been
much commented on, of gentleman who, on
a small matter of business, visited one OF the
departments thrty-five times, sat waiting in
the ante-room two hundred and sixty hours,
aud walked between his hotel and the depart
ment fifty-one miles before his business was
disposed of, and when disposed OF, his tavern
bill had nearly absorbed the amount of al
lowance, TO say nothing of the loss Of time
and detention from his engagements at home.

If you are suffering from Neuralgia or rhe-

hoard Of Education Adjourned.

The. Board of Education adjourned on
Saturday, the 25th ult., after being in ses-
sion twenty days, the period limited by the
Constitution. The laws of the last session of
the Legislature, SO far as they relate to the
organization of Districts and the manage
ment of Schools, &C., were in the main re-
enacted, that being the portion of the School
Law which had been decided to be unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court, that portion
relating to revenue and the management of
the Fund, being within the power of the
Legislature, and consequently continuing in
free; SO that, practically, school matters re-
main as they were before the decision of the
Supreme Court, and officers and all others
interested can 60 ahead as if no question had
been raised. We published the 'Curatiye
Act" as it is called, last week, as our read
ers are aware. ..f
Hon. Thomas II. Benton Jr. was elected
by the Board to the office of its Secretary, an
Office the duties of which, it is said, bear
good deal of resemblance to those of the old
Office of Superintendent of Public Instruc-
lion, formerly very ably filled by Mr. Benton
and with which he is familiar. The selec-
ti,n is very good one.
