A Hfnerence OF optnton.


While Gov. HARRIS is spending hi. strength
in endeavOring to prove that the Opposition
party in this State is identified in interest and
purpose with the Black Republican party of
the North; and the Union and american of this
city is crOwding its columns with extracts and
constructing specious arguments to establish
the same charge, the Washington Constitution,
the central organ of the Administration party
at the seat of government pronounces the
whole business a ''FIcTIoN." In an article in
its issue of the 4th inst, entitled "Opposition
FictiOns" it speaks Of the probability of such
an alliance, as the leaders of the party in
Tennessee are daily charging to be already
in existence, after this fashion: But tce do
not find indications get that the ANTIDEMoCRATIc
rank and file in Kentucky or Tennessee euen
affect an entire sympathy ,cith, or eUea very tender
regard for The Black Republican,"
The Cincinnati Commercial, Republican, in
an article in regard to the canvass in Ken
tucky, and the position of leading journals.
says: THE most conspicuous and important fact
in tie history of the present eanuass in kentucky,
is that in spite of the furious articles that
crowd the columns of the Courier. the OPPO-
SITION ARE FAR IN ADVANCE OF THE
DEMOCRACY IN ADVOCACY OF THE
PROPAGANDISM OF SLAVERY"

millions more. AT the second session of that
House of Representatives the administration
called upon the very men who, they now
pretend, were guilty of this enormous ex-
travagance. for s2,135,oI3.6o to supply
deficiencies in the appropriations made by
that Congress for the year 1857. The first
session of the 35th Congress, being largely
democratic, appropriated nearly $4,000. 600
TO supply the Deficiencies in the appropria-
tions (by the same House, for the year 1858.
The democratic appetite was utterly insatia-
BILE. Not satisfied with what that party now
denounces as profigacy and waste, the LOBBY
jobters and place holders of the ndministra-
ton absolutely take it all down, and come
up to another and friendly Congress, for
millions more! We shIll give tomorrow
some Of the doings of the delectable 35th
Congressional which there can be no pre-
tense of dispute. The people shall know
who their robbers are

@s- at has been adopted as part of the
platform the Democratic party, that private
and speculative corporations, INTENDED Tor the
public good, should never be placed beyond
the reach Of the people, but should be kept at
all times within their control, as the only
means Of guarding against the evils and abu-
SEES which an irresponsible body may inflict
upon the public. This position met his most
hearty approval, and he would advocate it
from one end of the State to the other. He
desired to know what position his competitor
would occupy on this question.-Gov. Harris
Speech.
We wish to know whether our neighbor
considers this exposition Of State policy
" Hard" or " Soft" And we should like also
to know whether our neighbor of the Ava-
ianehe regards it as lizard, - "Harder," or
Hardest"-Enqurer.
1t suits us precisely, and we belong to the
"Hardest." Memphis Avalanche.
This comes as near to declaration that
Gov. HARMS Is in favor OF an exclusively
gold aad silver currency as ny thing we have
seen. We hope NErHERIAND has wrung it
from his own lips before this time.

kS The democratic theory that the reserva-
modify or abolish corporations will protect
the public against fraud and swindIing in
banking, is probably the most prepOsterous
idea that was ever incorporated into the
creed of political party. 1t admits of no
doubt that few if any solvent and honest
capitalists will engage in the business under
such restrictions; but, on the contrary, reck-
less adventures will more likely avail them
selves of the opportunity thus afforded for
flooding the country with worthless rags
When the Legislature proposes to abolish the
charter thus accepted, the moneyless swindler
may snap bis finger in the face of the Legisla-
ture with impunity. What should he care
then, if his charter is revoked? Why bolt
the stable door after the horse is stolen?
We are charitable enough to suppose that
the democracy never intend to charter any
banks with these restrictions, and that the
convention used it as an ambiguous express
sion in favor of a strictly specie currency. We
can hardly believe that an intelligent body of
men would assert a doctrine so Objectionable
and so monstrous with view Of putting it
into practical execution. They cannot have
failed TO see that it would involve the
currency of the State in such confusion and
uncertainty as would embarrass the trade
and business to the probable loss of every
citizen. Yet Gov. HARRIS holds and urges
the doctrine with much vehemence and APP
parent sincerity. He may be deceived, but
if so, the people should take care that he be
not placed in position to make the delusion
effective in involving them in great injury,
possibly, total ruin.

FORTUNE NOT so CAPRICIOUs AFTER ALL =
Fate is less capriciOus than is imagined.
Nearly all men have through life, in their sew
eral grades, the same average of Opportuni-
ties. 1t is he who can seize and connect them
and by keen sight and ready experience, cal
culate on their recurrence, for whom men have
their applause and fortune her garland. One
of these opportunities of fortune. if properly
seized hold of, is to inclose to the address of
Wood, Eddy & Co.. Wilmington, Delaware, or
Augusta, Georgia, $40, IS, or S23. These
amounts will secure you respectively whole,
half, or quarter ticket in their legalized lot
teries. These lotteries are guaranteed by
charters granted by the respective States in
which they are established. All dealings with
them are based upon an honorable and legal
foundation. The names of Messrs. Wood, Ed
dy q Co. are guaranty in themselves that
all communications forwarded to their address
will meet with prompt and business like at
tentiOn. They are now the ESTABLISHED and
great LOTTERY operators of the country.--N.

Convention at Gainesboro.

An Opposition convention met at Gaines
boro on Thursday of this week for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for the Sem
ate. The proceedings have not yet reached
Us; but we learn from one of the delegates
that Col. Stanton. of Jackson, was nominated.
Mr.. S.. as we have heretofore stated, did not
desire the race. but upon finding that it was
the desire of his friends generally he con-
sented for his name to 90 before the conven-
ton. And it is hardly necessary for us 10
remark that his nomination is regarded as
equivalent to his election.
He will be opposed by Mr.. Denton of this
place, who represented the district in the
last legislature.
We further learn that DIR. w. r. Kenner
was nominated by convention on the same
day to represent the county. And we under
stand the Democracy meet in convention TO
day for the purpose of nominating a candid
ate ON their side.-C0okeUiHe Times.

Democratic Extravagance-TheF Fall
iacies OF hts Defenders and ApoIo-
gists.
Having shown that the expenses of the
Government have been doubled in the last
six years Of Democratic rule; that the appro-
priations were made by a democratic Senate
during all that time, and by democratic
House of Representatives, with the exception
OF one Congress. and approved by a demo
cratic President, the democratic leaders and
organs are striving to shirk responsibility By
throwing the blame altogether ON a single
Black Republican House of Representatives.
We have shown how failacious was this at
tempt, and by an examination of the votes
they produce to sustain them, have proven
that il the party IN Congress and in tina.
Black Republican House OF Representatives
had been true TO their duty and their proies-
slons, they had it in their power to have
prevented the unnecessary appropr atoms
OF which they now complain. The force Of
these facts cannot DC broken. No sort of de-
fence or apology, however speeious can jus-
tify or excuse them before the people. The
proof is clear and overwhelming, and il ID
does not crush the party and expel II from
power. we are deceived in the amount OF for
bearance and endurance possessed by = long
suffering and an outraged people.
ID Is expected that the democratic organs
and standard bearers viii continue 20 harm
on the pfofigaey Of the alleged Black Re
publican Congress. We desire our opposing
candidates and the people TO bear In mind
that the s4th. even, Was not Black Re-
publican Congress. The House Of Repre-
sentatives had a majority nj tina, time, add
only the House Of representative. Tha.
body bad no pe"er 10 pass appropriation.
over the heads OF the President and the
Senate, both constantly democratic. These
facts are incontroyertible, and Instead Of
throwing the blame on the Black Republicans
fix II unallerabIy on the Democracy.
Another fscs " hIch we wish kept CONSTANT
~ IN mind Is that the Democratic once
holders and agents squandered all that was
appropriated by THAI Congress and many

I1V TO I11U WIT nut OF s7"tuIuasJ EYE
We don't know that the entire range of our
exchanges supplies US just at present with a
piece of news more cheering than the follow
ing which We clip from the Louisville Courier
of yesterday:
We have received letters from all sections
Of the State, expressing the deepest anxiety
in regard 10 our pending canvass. We have
been told that large numbers of Democrats,
scattered throughout the State, will support
no man for any State office, who hesitates to
take a bold and decided stand in favor of
Congressional protection. THIS disaffection
is wide spread, and unless checked will most
inevitably result disastrously to our party.

In a speech made during the last session of
Congress- Mr. Toornbs said

Congress, Mr.. Toombs said
Sc Your appropriations for navy yards have
gone to the building OF houses for officers,
and the making of fower-pots. and all that
sort of things, at cost of 81 900 900: and it
will be no less. as long as you will pay it, but
will go up to $4,000 900 if you do not stop it.
There are $2.000.000 that you have no need
for at all. You have not increased them of
late years, and you now have 5000 men in
your navy yards to help them-civilians.-
You have carried their number up from g.
600 to 5000. You have eight navy yards
England has $50 ships, and she has two navy
yards. You have eight conveniently located
all about the country, and it is a cause of re-
proach to good Democrats for the enemy to
say. we keep people there to cheat them in
elections > and as God is my Judge, am
afraid there is something in it,"

no mention is made of Mr.. BUCHANAN 1t is
becoming a chronic disorder with the Demo

his praise"
