be remembered. is situated in the southwest
ern part of that region included between the
Smoky Mountain and the Blue Ridge--sOme-

These lands were purchased because of their

there is no better country in the United

who have visited Cherokee county the prs

representations of it's fertility and perfect
adaptation to these special uses. This regioH
was occupied by the Cherokee Indians until
1888, and these lands were not brought into
market by The l., gislature until 1858. This
fact will account Tor it's tardy settlement.

From The somervilIe FINES.



The Nashville Union has been hard put to
it, to dig up good, plausible excuse, for the
overwhelming defeat of its party in the State
Congressional election. We believe it has,
however. come TO the conclusion, that ii was
owing to the way the State was laid off In
districts. In other words, the democracy was
defeated by oPportionmeHt, rather than by the
Opposition party. Well, now let us see how
that will work: In the third Congressional
district. which Gov. Harris carried by a ma
jorify OF gu votes over Col. Neherland, the
Opposition candidate. MIR. Brabsen. beat his
democratic competitor. Mr.. Smith, SO votes.
Cali you that. the work of .'apportionmentf"
Again In the fourth district. Coy. Harris
received a majority of 939 votes; yet, Mr..
Stokes triumphed over his competitor, Mr..
Savage, with q majority 473 votes. Did sap
portionment" do that?
Once more: In the ninth district Gov. Har-
ris has majority of $40 votes; yet, Mr..
Eiheridge def afed Sfr. Atkins, by 8 votes.
Was this result brought about 10y Mr.. ZAP
portionnent?" Pshaw, Sir Union; if you
have no better excuse for your party's defeat,
just have the candor to acknowledge that in
the Congressional conflict. Democracy was
ALPHABETICALLY whipped, and that there is
no ''balm" for the wounded.
Nota Bene.--it may be. Democracy can find
some consolation for their grief and sorrow,
by taking pyramidical view OF the Oposi-
ton majorities and members elect, in these
districts. which gave Gov. Harris in the ag
gregate majority of 2, l59 votes. Here it is

"If Seward or any other Black Republican
is elected President in 1860. / am in favor of
dissolving the Union and setting up a South
ern Confederacy." This is the language of
southern extremist, and strai ghtway he moves
off in favor of Congressional Slave Code
for the Territories, reopening of the African
slave trade, denunciation OF Douglas as a
traitor and such other propositions are
sure to bring about the election OF Black
Republican. for the simple reason that he
plants himself on such an ultra platform that
no northern State will stand upon il. Let
us adopt such a policy as that and even
with the united South. We cannot carry
single northern State, and Black Republi-
can is sure to be elected, becauss the North
overrides the South in numerical strength.
Those who take extreme positions, know
these facts very well, and they are only en-
dcavorng to bring about such state of
things as will insure the election of a Black
Republican. This is the reason why they
have deserted the principle otthe Kansas bill.
which they all supported. They hope for
the election of ack-Republican, (as is
evidenced by the extreme positions they
take,) in order that dissolution may follow.
We advise the people to watch all such poltl
clans closely, as there is no sane man in the
South who can point to a single good reason,
under the present state OF public affairs. why
the Union should be dissolved or Why the
South should be disconnected or dissatisfied.
For thirty years the South lived under the
odious restriction of the Missouri Compromise
and in the meantime said very little about
dissolution. This odious restriction has been
removed mainly through and by the power
and influence of Mr.. Douglas, and the South
has been placed on an equal footing in the
Territories with the other portions of the
Union. Ought we not rather rejoice than
complain of this? We think we ought; and
when the North talks of re-establishing this
odious line, it will then be time enough to
harbor the idea of disunion.-M Memphis DIP
