MoRr OF rnr REcoRp--lf the reader viii turn to
the Senate Journal page, s2a he viii find the fol-
lsyTiss proceedings
1.-THE question being on the motion to concur in
House amendment to exempt all Incorporated Uni
vcrsities, Colleges, and Churches from taxation,
Mr.. Walker moved to insert "Convents and
Monasteries"
Which was adopted
And the amendment as amended was concured
i'm
1t has always been opinion that it is the true
policy of every free government to encourage, by
growth Of knowledge and morality, because upon
these, such government is dependent for its very
existence. One Of the means by which Tennessee
proposes to accomplish these great objects, is TO ex
empt from taxation, Universities Colleges, and
Churches; and we feel confident that an over
whelming majority of the people heartily approve a
policy so wise and liberal and would condemn any
effort to impose tax upon Institutions which throw
around the government the aegis of intelligence and
morality DIR. Menees thinks differently; and
whilst we cheerfully accord to him entire honesty
of purpose, in voting against exemptng Universities
n
condemn his policy, and dissent from whatever
reasons reasons he may assign for the course HI
pursued. Without intelligence, sustained by virtue
liberty degenerates into licenciousness from which
the transition to despotism is easy it is natural
and government, like ours predicated upon popula
enlightenment and morality mistakes its own in
terest, and must fail in its high mission wheneve
il ceases to protect and foster the schools whenc
) emenate these cardinal elements of freedom. A:
from its peculiar organization our government mus
be the best so long the people know their right
and dare maintoin them, so it may be the most OF
pressive, when ignorance and corruption have SAP
ped the pillars upon which the structure rests An
policy, then, which retards the dissemination
knowledge and virtue strikes at the vitals of tn
government, and the advocates of such policy
however honest are unsafe repositories of politics

Bay We understand there are democrats in
various parts of this county, who PROPOSE to mem
bers of the Opposition, to vote for Netherland pro-
would say, listen to no such proposition. Besides
its being wrong to swap votes, there is great cheat
in the game. A single democrat may swap with a
hundred Of the Opposition, and the result would be
that Menees would gain ninty-nine votes, and
Netherland only one; and the man who proposes
such bargain always has this trick in view. Be
on your guard, then, Americans and Wings, and
t.eat with contempt every such proposition. Vote
for your men, and you can elect them; but go to
swapping and you will be swindled and your candi-
dates defeated.

so good natured man, and we had listened TO him
some thirty minutes before his eloquence had elicit
ed even a demonstration of applause. His voice
seemed husky, probably the effect of over-exertion
in the attempt defend tine weak points of his par
ty by loud speaking.
Gen. QUARLEs followed in one Of the most effect
i've and telling speeches it has been good fortune
to listen to for many day. His presence upon the
stand, with his fine open and benevolent counte-
nance beaming with good-humored satisfaction, was
the signal for one universal round of applause
He began by thanking the people of the District for
his unanimous nomination, and then proceeded, in
his own peculiar vein to dssect his competitor from
head to foot. If ever man achieved a victory over
political opponent we are truly of opinion Gen.
Quarles came off conqueror last night The late

BAY When the democratic party is charged with
having failed to admit Kansas as a slave State
having full power to do so; and when charged with
coTuptiy squandering the public money the reply
is--thc democrats are not To blame; the Americans
and Republicans defeated Kansas, and they voted
for the appropriations that have bankrupt the
Treasury. To illustrate their foolish position on
these points, Col, Nctherand tells the following
anccdotc:-IIc says he was hat-boatng, once on
the Tennessee river having Il cargo Of bacon and
other ''prgjuCc when a man, whose name was Bill,
walked along the bank, one evening, and kept up a
running ,or Of CONVERSATION with the crew. About
night the Colonel tied up his boat pushed out Il
plank, and went a shore to gather wood to cook his
supper. On his return he saw Bill about midway
the plank with shoulder Of bacon in each hand,
which hc had stolen from the boat Finding he
was caught Bin quietly dropped the meat into the
river aud stood ho-upright, looking as innocent
ms he could,-"Whcrc are you going Bin q Asked

recently from Springfield, that the County Jail
at that place was broken open on Sunday night and
four prisoners who had been committed for trial
charge OF murder effected their escape and have not
since been recaptured. The names Of three of the
prisoners who escaped were Morris, But and Reg
nolds; we did not learn the others name, Morris
was awaiting trial on charge Of murder, John Butt
was the man who recently murdered Cook, the deaf
mute, in Robertson county, an account of which we
published in this paper week or two since and Rey-
nods was arrested and committed accessory. There
were FIVE prisoners in the Springfield Jail, but only
four escaped. The remaining prisoner was the
Irishman Bdilcy who killed his wife with a stick
in Robertson county, not long since. lie refused
to avail himself Of the opportunity offered for cs-
cape.
1t appears that the prisoners got down through
the floor and must have been assisted by persons
from the outside, supplied with crowbars, prizing
out the stone.
The keeper of the Jail was not apprized of the
escape until the next morning, when entering the
cells to furnish the prisoners with breakfast he dis
covered they had concluded to "dine out Nash.
