WHAT THEY THINK.-While Gov. HARRIS
and some of his organs are trying to occupy
a sort of halfand-half position on the curren-
cy question, there are others who arc frank
and bold enough to meet the Tissue fairly.
The State Seminal, at Rogersville, organ of the
adamantines, speak in this wise:
"Gov Harris with the Democracy. think
that there as no necessity for tie creation of any
more banks, and in those we have stockholders
shall be indiy idually responsible TO note-hol-
ders-that the circulation of small notes
shall be Withdrawn and their place supplied
with specie-that the common currency Of
the country may be based upon a secure and
permanent footing. and this country may
gradually return TO a specie circulation"
If this is not truly the position of Gov
HARRIS, if he is really in favor of banks with
such restrictions as he may name he owes it
no less himself and the State than to his
party friends to make an open an unreserved
declaration of the fact. Let him frankly re-
pudiate the exclusive specie theory, and come
out for banks. So long as he fails to do so,
We and the people will justly regard him as
occupying the gold and silver platform. He
can not and shall not aviod that issue.

Kentucky.

The prospect for the success of the Oppo-
sition in Kentucky is growing brighter aud
brighter every day. JOSHUA f. BELL is max
ing most triumphant canvass. The legions
of Democracy are divided and spirit broken.
In the legislative districts cur friends are ex-
ultant and untiring in their exertons. A
few days ago we had the pleasure of meeting
several of our friends from the Southwestern
part of the State, the ancient Gibralter of
Democracy, who were never ia better heart.
The Opposition candidate for the Legislature
in Lyon and Caldwell counties, JONAS II.
MARTIN, will wrest that district from the
hands of its unworthy pOssessors, or there is
no power in gallant bearing and modest
worth. He is equal 20 any half dozen they
can bring againt him, and if "Big Jone" goes
under in this fight, we shall have lost all con-
fdence in the honest impulses of the human
heart, at least in that district.

views from call, forwarded to us for publ
cation, On distinguished Democrat of the
District to run for that Office, and from init
nations we have had that others had been
solicited with the same view If pro-
per convention. regularly called, cannot de-
eide the question whether it is proper TO run
candidate for office, then they have no au-
thorlty at all. and our party usages are of no
avail Democrats everywhere, if they desire
our triumph, must. in matters not involving
principles. submit unhesitatingly to the opin-
ions OF the majority when formally expressed.
Patriotism demands the sacrifice of individu-
al views and opinions to the general welfare.
No union is possible in the absence of such
submits ion, and success without harmony is
not TO be expected. If any Democratic as
pirant for Office, or his friends, think that
they can disregard the wishes of the party,
and run themselves, or encourage others 20 rua
for Office, we believe they will be entir ely mis-
taken, and it will reeoil on themselves. We
speak in no spirit of dietation. and these re-
marks are written with no such feeling. But
as one of the organs of the party we feel bound
to-uphold its interests and give our earnest
advice to those who are enrolled with us I'M

The ZOuaVeS.

One of the most remarkable publications of
the day is the report of Captain George B.
Mcclellan, late of the First United States
cavalry, and now vice president of the Great
Central Illinois railway, who was one of the
officers sent 10y the Secretary of War, under
the late Administration, to the seat of war
in Europe, in 1855 and 1856. 1t abounds in
highly Interesting information. and has been
most favorably commented upon by French,
English. Austrian, Russian, Italian, and
Spanish journals. The following extract from
Capt. McClellan's report describes the most
efficient arm of the French service, the Zou-
ayes:
The dress of the Zouave is of the Arab
pattern; the cap is loose fig or skull cap of
scarlet felt with "A tasscl; a turban is worn
over this in full dress; cloth vest and loose
jacket, which leaves the neck unenc numbered
by collar, stock. or cravat. cover the upper
portion of his body and allow free move
mrnt of the arms the scarlet pants of the
loose Oriental pattern, and are tucked under
carriers like those OF the foot rifles of the
guard the overcoat is loose cloak with a
hood; the Chasscurs wear IA similar one The
men say that this dress is the most convent
ent possible. and prefer il TO any other.
The Zouaves are all French; they are Sc
lected from among the old campagners for
their fine physique and tried courage, and
have certainly proved that they are what
their appearance would Indicate the most
reckless, selEreliant, and complete infantry
that Europe can produce.
With his graceful dress, soldierly bearing,
2 and vigilant attitude, the Zouave at an out
post is the beau ideal of a soldier.
They neglect no opportunity Of adding 10
their personal comforts; if there is IA stream
in the vicinity, the party marching on picket
is sure to be amply supplied with fshin 2
rods, &c; ifany thing is to be had, the Zou-
aves are quite certain to obtain it,
Their movements are the most light and
graceful have ever seen; the stride is long,
but the foot seems scarcely TO touch the
ground. and the march is apparently made
without effort or fatigue.
The step of the foot rifles is shorter and
quicker. aud not so easy and graceful. n
The impression produced by the appear
ance of these two corps is very different; the
rifles look like active, energetic little fellows,
who would find their best field as skirmish-
ers; but the Zouavcs have, combined with all
the activity and energy of the others that
solid ensemble and reckless daredevil indi-
yiduality which would render them alike for
midable when attacking in mass or in defend
ing position in the most desperate hand to-
hand encounter. OF all the troops that
have ever seen. | should esteem il the great
est honor To assist in defeating the Zouayes.
The grenaders of the guard are all large
men, and a fine looking, soldierly set.
The yoltgeurs are small, active men, bat
larger than the rifles. They are lighs in
fantTy.

when 4 Speak let no Dog Bark.

The disconnected Democracy of the Fifth
Congressional District are growing turbu-
lent Efforts are being made to bring out
straight Democratic candidate TO seize the
crown now in dispute between the lion and
the unicorn. Some OF them have All inefia-
BILE distaste to Col. READY. They look along
the line of his antecedents but find his name
no where occurring as the champion of Dem
ocratic principles, but always in the heraldry
of their antagonists. They are at a loss to
comprehend the sudden mctamorphosis which
they are expected to undergo. One man,
they understand, with proper gymnastic ac-
complishments. may turn a somerset but all
men are not alike gifted, ana because one or
O few may perform the feat, they can see, in
that fact. no reason why everybody else should
be expected TO make the experiment at the
risk of their necks. Besides, they have OBJ
served that the ski!lful vaulter can turn back
wards as well as forwards. They, therefore,
have but little stomach for the support of Mr..
READY. A very large majority OF the Demo
Gratis in the District were originally and all
the time for a democratic candidate OF un-
varying and nndoubtcd antecedents. But by
some means, not understood 10y most of them,
that wish has been so far defeated. They are
getting restless, not to say rebcllious. The
call is loud for man OF their own choice.
But it is of no avail. They are unfortunate
in having no potential voice of their own.
The annexed article from the U'nion aud I'm
ericn, it is supposed, will settle the business.
Let the dissatisfied majority read and hold
their peace:

FRIDAY, JUNE II, 1859.
The Last Hoe and the Last Plough.

The sham democratic organs keep up
mouruful howl about the last hoe and the
last plough" which, they allege, NETHERLAND
refuse to exempt from execution. They will
not admit the sufficiency of the plea in ex-
tenuation put in by himself that he acted in
accordance with the wishes Of his constitu-
ents; nor do they give him the benefit of
subsequent vote, when, untrammeled by In
structions from his constituency, and acting
upon the promptings of his heart and judg-
ment: he voted to exempt from execution a
homestead of the value of $500, or any other
description of property to that amount. Oh,
no, no, after repentance or good deeds can
excuse him. He is political opponent, and,
therefore, he must be held to The musty re-
cord and not allowed the advantages OF that
which is of a later date. This is not the sort
of Justice that the honest masses of the coun-
try approve, and we have no idea that it will
iniure NETHERLAND in the least.
Whilst the howl is going on, however, we
think the vote of sham democrats in the last
Legislature against the exemption bill, ought
to afford the musicians the means of making
one lOuQ DOIe OF woe dl itdSi IIdI Dlll cA-
empted from execution, zone gun in the
hands of every free white male citizen" ''Of
the age of eighteen and upwards, and every
female who is the head OF tamily;" "home
made carpet, manufactured by the wife, or
any female member of the family, for family
use, and so applied wagon or cart
loads of wood, or its equivalent in coal"
A gun often affords the hardy back
woodsman the means of supplying his
family with the meat they eat. whilst it
also gives him ample opportunities to become
familiar with the use of the urn, and renders
him efficient as sharp shooter in time of
war. But there were democrats who would
not allow him a single gun-on no, they
would take from him the last gun. A home
made carpet-a comfort it is to the tidy mis-
tress of the cabin, and protection in the
cold weather of winter This, even, sham
democrats would not permit her to retain.
The last rag-must gO--plank floors, dirt
floors are good enough for the humble mis-
tress OF the cabin. No gun left to kill the
game for daily food; no carpet to cover the
foor-surely they would leave her wood or
coal to make a fire to warm her in winter.
and to cook what food she had Oh no! the
last stick of wood, and the last lump of coal
must 20. One of those democrats who voted
against exempting the last gun, the last rag
clrpet, and the last stick of wood, is a can
didate for foater in Maury, Lewis and Will
Hanson. How do the presses Of his party
treat him? Don't they hold him up to public
condemnation for this vote? Not bit of it.
They pat him on the back, as much as to say,
hurrah WuIT, take the last of all the poor
folks have, but stand up to the party and
we are for you; but curse that fellow, NJ
THERLAND, we can't let him take the last
plough and the last axe. Such is democracy!

THE NEXT NEws.-A foreign correspondent

Bravo for the drcssesl We will say mo-
thing of "the short front hair, 30 be worp

can't reach the dust. dirt and mud,-that
wont gatEer up all the filth of the sidewalks

streets, and the bottoms OF which are too
high to be torn TO shreds by the common OBJ
structions of the highway. We know of no
greater abGmination than to see elegant
dresses dragging in the mud and mire of our
dirty streets; aud though in the parlor long
dresses add something TO the fine appearance
aud carriage of a well dressed lady, in the
steet they are made untidy and often DISCUS

The Democratic Platform and Gov.
Harris for Hard Money.

The Lewisburg Messenger, democratic
journal, in its issue of the 10th, says: Gov.
HARRIS, during the last Legislature said that
in his opinion the State Bank was not neces-
sary fiscal Agent for the State, and said
that the bank could be better employed.
Again he said in his first speech of the pres
ent canvass, that it was the duty of the Dem
Ocratic party to so legislate until the last
yEsTTGE OF THE EVIL is taken from among US.
Well, Gov HARRIS is now canvassing the
State on that platform, and if there is any
meaning in legislating until the last vestige
of the evil is eradicated: he Is certainly hard
money man. The platform says, shat it was
intended by the trainers of the Constitution
that gold and silver should be the only legiti-
mate currency of our people, If gold and
silver is the legitimate currency, any other
currency is illegtimate currency, and if gold
and silver is the legitimate currency, it must be
the constitutional currency, and any other
currency is unconstitutional. Now must a
man advocate an Legitimate and uncOnsti-
tuiiOnal currency to be on the Democratic
platform: With such prolix logic, the plat
form would appear illegitimate and uncon-
stitutional! Our opinion is that the only
reasonable and consistent construction of the
platform is that, it carries with it the princi-
pie of returning to a gold and silver currcn-
cy, and that our next legislature shall keep
the ball in motion, and approach during its
session, as near as wise and proper, CON
stitutiOnal currency And the succeeding
legislatures TO operate, step by step, until
the last vestige of the evil, shall have been
wiped from our country. This we think to be
the proper excgetical import of the Demo
cratic Platform, on the currency question"
