BEy~ Senator Soule speaks of the loco
foco party, of which he is a prominent
and trusted member, as "a turbulent, fac
tious, and despotic coalition of those whose
only object is to glut themselves with
power and wealth, and who would make
party discipline and organization subser-
Went to their uefarious designs" This
picture could not have been more ife-like
if we had drawn it ourself, and as a family
groupe, by a member of the family, we
invite all to look upon tit is as ugly as
the devil; but that is not the fault of the
painter who has given every lineament OF
the repulsive features and the whole ex-
preston of their combined deformity. In
other times, when the opposition journals
exposed the corruption of the locofoco
party, every specification was denounced
as a whig, or Know Nothing lie; bat now
the work Of exposure is undertaken by
the knowing ones of the locofoco party
and every stroke tells, as is evinced by
the writings and contortions of the
guilty under the lash of the self.

position speaker, or editor need trouble
himself to ferret out locofoco villainy, or
frame sentences of denunciation-both
are done to his hands, and so we'll done
that he need only appropriate the work to
his own uses, giving due credit, and the
most rabid locofoco is sienced

ARRIVAL OF THE ADELAIDE


The Wdr Criss.-It had been telegraphed from va
rous sources that during the night of the 26th April
100, 900 Austrians under Gua crossed the Ticno
in three corps aud took the road toward Movarai
also that they afterward blew up the bridge of Buff
alora, over which they crossed. The news as yet,
lacks confirmation from official quarters and some
doubts were thrown upon IL.
1t was reported that Austria had accepted the prof
fered meditation of England and postponed the dec
laration Of war.
France had not yet accepted the mediation, but is
said TO be considering it,
The Constitutional, of Paris, and the Daily News
of London deny the exstance of the reported alli-
ance between France and Russia.
The News further states that the document which
has been signed and which gave rise to the report
is mere convention.

rS5" Gov Harris, in the debate, last
week, quoted the declaration of John
Minor Bolts, that if there were a State
inhabited by free negroes, who were con-
stitutionally entitled to vote, he would be
glad to have them vote for the candidate
Of bspapty, The Governor quoted this
with an air of offended patriotism which
told his hearers that Bolts had basely
surrendered all the rights of the South
This is a discovery that reflects infinite
credit upon the ingenuity of the present
Executive of Tennessee, and brings out
his candor and fairness in bold relief
supposinG that it happened to occur to
him that free negroes used to vote in this
State. We have seen them, in this town
walk up to the polls, by the side of simon
pure democrats--aye, and more than that
deposit their votes for the Hon. Cave
johnson. Was there any fuss made about
it then, by the democrats of this State
None that We ever heard of Every such
vote was thankfully received and duly
counted and what is more, was worth as
much, numerically, as that Of the very best
white locofoco, But they didn't vote for
John Minor Bolts, and it is the spprehen,
sion that they might do so now, which
causes the tempest in teapot" that dis

turbs the equanimity of Gov. Harris, and
drags from him, evidently against his will,
the cry of abolitionism. It is little
business you are engaged, Governor, when
you endeavor to distort the remark of Mr..
Bolts into hostility to the South, and we
have been taught that you have too much
magnanimity to stoop so low. But you
are a locofoco, Governor, and-"nuf sed !"

B6s- Mr.. Merritt the locofoco candidate for
Floater, and very "venturesome' youth, prom
ised, on Monday last that when he came again
amongst u.s. he would prove the leaders of the OPP
position, in the South, to be abolitonists--conce-
ding, at the same time, that the rank and file are
sound ON the slavery question. He is decidedly a
promising young man, and we look for something
rich when he enters upon the fulfllment of that
promise. Wonder if Dick Cheatham will not be
somewhere about at that important momentl
