THE ANNIVERSARY.

We have neither time nor space to give very
much editorial notice of our annual meeting. The
weather could not have been more favorable il be-
spoken for the occasion, and the attendance was
large from its commencement to its close. On
Sunday the tent was well filled, and the discus.
sions which came up from time to time were, in
the main, conducted in an unexceptionabIe man
ner.
There was, however, enc unpleasant occurrence
just prior to the close of the afternoon session on
Sunday, which somewhat disturbed the meeting
and led to the development of a mobocratic spirit.
The platform was occupied by a defender of the
Republican party, who felt somewhat aggrieved BY
the remarks Of a preceding speaker, and mistak-
ingly thought tina: having been invited by the 80
ciety to occupy the platform, it was his by right
of possession, and that, independent of any parlis-
mentary rules or usuages whatever. Consequently
when a member rose to a point of order, the fpea-
ker refused to acknowledge the undoubted right Of
that member to state it, and when the Chairman
called him to order, he refused to recognize bis
right SO to do. If he felt aggrieved by the decis-
ion of the chair, he had o right under parliamen-
tary rules to appeal from it to the meeting: instead
of doing this, he tram pied all rules of order under
foot, constituting himself, in fact, Chairman, and
was sustained in his mobocratic course by some OF
whom we expected better things. While be was
speaking, the hour for adjournment having arri-
we'd, the President declared the meeting adjour-
ned.
The advocate Of Republication, having, by the
aid and encouragement of his Republican friends
taken possession of the SOciety's platform before
the adjournment, after adjournment he took pos-
session Of it's tent. and continued his meeting 90
long as it pleased him to talk. And this mobo-
ocratic spirit, which sci a. nought the parliament
tary rules by which the meeting should have been
governed, and which wholly ignored the Society's
right of property in the tent, was developed on
Sunday night in q little different manner by the
tearing down-as We were infosmed-ofa about one
third of the canvass.
A meeting called By the Society. had been an-
nounced to he held in the Town Hall, which had
been engaged for the purpose. but prior to the
dispersion of the crowd, another announcement
was made that a meeting would be held in the
Hall, to be addressed by the individual who had
already seized upon our platform, and taken Dos
session Of our tent. The meeting was called 10
order by that person, who certainly did not claim to
be q friend Of our organization, and who did not,
we presume, feel that he had any authority to cell

work they have left US to do.

The Nomination.

LAS had been generally anticipated, the
Convention of the 10Th, nominated Col.
Jonx NsrnEaLAsD for Governor, by accla.
nation. The proceedings reached us on
"Wednesday night, and we publish as full
report rs we can crowd in this week.
The delegates from this county who have
returned, report the Convention as large
harmonious, and enthusiastic beyond pre-
cedent. So far every thing augurs WE'LL
The Convention has nominated good,
popular and efficient man, who is able to
compete on the stump with the best Of
the other party--it has adopted an admi-
rable platform, sound, unassailable, and
patriotic; and the delegates, by their har-
monious action and earnestness give us
assurance Of the feeling and determines
tion that pervades the masses in the three
divisions of the State. With such indica-
tons, and such advantages, an energetic
canvass and good, real, old fashioned,
honest, manly stand-up fight, success is
not only possible, but certain. We know
our standard bearer will do all of his du-
ty, and we speak for our section that his
efforts will be zealously seconded.

~ The Nashville Union and Ameri-
can refers to a paragraph of ours, and
says the Posts logic is bad. Possibly SO.
The editors of the central organ are cru
dite, scholarly, and profound beyond their
generation; they are logicians, we amt;
they deal largely in logic, forgetting what
their learning should continually remind
them of, that logic is synonymous with
sophistry, that sophistry is but another
term for Misrepresentation, and misrepre-
sentation generally ultimates in habit
Of which We know less than we do of logic,
though confessing our ignorance as charg-

American, and in which it persists, that
John Bell Co." are chargeable with the
enormous expenditures, wastefulness and
extravaganza in every department of the
government, which have grown up under
democratic culture and democratic ascen-
dency, is too absurd to merit serious con-
tradiction. There is not democrat out
side the lunatic asylum believes it, and
the reiteration is an attempt. to practice
upon gullibility that has an existence no

that there is any one aspiring to the can

Mr.. Eiifor,-It is now time if the Wings
and Americans of this Congressional dis
trict intend to run any candidate for
Congress, that some steps were taken to
select the man. Surely, in an important
contest, like the coming one promises to
be, We ought to have candidate in the
field and that at an early day-and no
time Is to be lost now in making a selec-
ton. There are odds against us, it is
true, in the district-but that should make
no difference to the patriot, imbued with
the right spirit. Personal sacrifices, if
need be, should be made ut a time like
the present for the common good No
particular individual has any rightfnl
claims upon us, and if any should make
such claims, they should be ignored and
choice made by the masses of the best
and most available man. Can we not
find united in the persons of several gen.

some step be taken immediately to secure
such an one, and let the canvass be
opened at once. Some of us here were

WWhY this RaraPO

Mr.. Editor In a late communication
from a son of the Palmetto State, may be
found the following:
"The sea-coasters have been flying to
the mountains, the mountaineers on the
wing for the sea-coast: the one ambitious
to graduate at the up-country colleges of
such large patronage and extended repu-
tation; the others anxious to finish at the
celebrated schools of the low country;
and all of them impressed rather with the
conviction that any school is better than
the one about which they happen to know
the most" why is this rage for getting
away from home to go to schoolY
Such is the tendency of the age. Here
in Tennessee we see the same. Students
of Medicine turn their backs upon Nash
vile, for Philadelphia, Albany, or New
York. The aspirants after legal lore ig-
more the Law School at Lebanon, and go
elsewhere. Young Misses turn up their
noses at the Athens Female College, and
sigh for Salem or Louisville. And young
men pass by Hiwassee College for some
institution further from home In the
language of the South Carolinian, "Why
this rage for getting away from home to go
to SCHOOL,"
The Hiwassee District can boast of two
excellent Colleges: one for Males, and
the other for Females-both in flourish
ing condition-the former in Monroe
county, the latter at Athens. And .'why

90 to school?O MIR
