Tho Homes Of Our Enemies,

GREELEY has fixed the issues for the A" United
Opposition" in the next Presidential canvass. They
involve the dearest ghts AMI interests of the South.
BELL and SEWARD agree upon these issues according
to their organ quoted in smother column, aad BELL
is the recognized leader of the Opposition in Ten
nesses How many will aid by their votes in this
election, to give power to the corrupt Opposition
leaders that they may WELD it for the benefit of the
Black Republicans and the subjugation OF the
South See what encouragement the attitude Of
the Opposition leaders is giving the Black Republic
cans aud how confidently they claim the triumph of
their odious doctrines on. Southern SOIL
SEWARD said in his speech at Rome New York
at v be the show Of tie tUo gears to acitnsss
the organization Of this Republican purity arittiR
the slqUe States ud,r the lead Of brave and true men,
such as Frank p. Blair Of Missouri and Cdssius II.
Clay, Of Kiataeky What remains Of organization
National party to be Effected, and certain as
chat has already occurred and is distinctly
seen"
Still more recently GREELEY says through the
Tribune.
ave don't believe that there are ten thousand vo-
ters in the Ueon outside Of the National Democrat
c organic alton who desire he Extension of Slavery,
or that the Federal Government shall favor such
extension. In our intercourse with Southern
Whlgs-and II has net 0eea very lmlte1-We never
met one who cid so who docs not call call him
self a Democrat.
"If, then, we are not essentially at variance on
this point we insist that insurmountsble barrier
exists 20 prevent The fusion desire. We believe
that Maryland DeleOIre and Missouri Nth possibly
Kentucky Tennessee and North Carolina, may be
Tied IN 1860 for National ticket which shall be frank
u but in9ensiUeiy hostile to the EIteasion Of SlaUery"
MEN OF TENNESSEE, will you encourage these
hopes by supporting the Opposition, BELL coalition
ticket next Thursday?

Alabama and KeutucIkv.

The State elections ia Alabama and Kentucky are
held on the came day-Mondsy, August l. The
Louisville Journal claims large gains for its party in
both States and hopes that the report of these gains
may have good effect on the elections in Tennes-
sec. We have no doubt that cheering accounts, 4"
manufactured in sdSance viii be sent into this State
for the purpose of influencing our elections, but the
people have learned from late experience to distrus
Know Nothing election news. Our friends, both in
Alabama and Kentucky, confident of triumph,
AMI while they may sustsin some losses about the
cities, where the Opposition have a more complete
party drill and organization, we ara convinced
that the rurel districts will roll in incr eassd major
tiles for the Democratic ticket.

From the New York Tribune, July Is.
Union with Republicans.


MANY influential Republican journals are endea-
voring to show that such a union, in the approach
ing Presidential contest, between the Republicans
and the other opponents of the present ruling pow
er, as would involve no sacrifice of the cardinal
principles of the former is desirable IN any event
and is probably essential success in that contest
There is another side to this question, namely ::
Would such union be consistent ana desirable Tor
parties TO the arrangement other than Republicans?
This depends UpOa three four preliminary COZ
siderations, such as: l. With whom DO Republicans
propose to form this union! . What principles and
measures are to be embraced in it? g. What is to
be done with the victory after it Is achieved? L.
During the conflict, and after the triumph how az
subjects TO be treated which there no identity
of sentiment among the parties TO the uRiOng
The great body Of Republicans are, no doubt, viii
ling to cooperate IN he election of President with
four classes of the Opposition;
l. Those lchO originally opposed The repeal Of the Ms
souri, Compromise, and the passage Of The HdnsQs-e-

There is some propriety in portion Of the Oppo-
silion being in favor of wildcat system of bank
ing. Their recent Know Nothing Secretary Of State
BUarox, purchased, during his term of office, the
Bank of Trenton. Its notes subsequently, depre:
ciated to sixty cents on the dollar. BURTON lost
nothing by that.
MosBY, the Know Nothing assistant Comptroller,
fell in love with the banking system and made free
use of the bonds of the Bank of Tazswell. Its cir
culation also deprecated to sixty per cent but Mos
BY lost nothing By that.
Col NEruERLAND aided in chartcrlng the Citizens
Bank Its circulation has depreeatod to forty cents
on the dollar Col. NETHERLA2D, We presume, lost
nothing by that.
GeB QuAKLEs, the Opposition candidate for Con-
gress, WAS a stoekholder AID director in the Bank
of America That bank suspended under the Gen
erals dictatorship and its notes in the hands of the
honest labOring people vent as low as fifty per cent
discount. The people lost but as there was no in
dividual liability clause aad no means of forcing
The bank to redeem its notes, Gen. QuARLEs, we
presume, lost nothing by the operation.
CD. NETHtRLAND voted agsinet making bankers
individually liable for the redemption of their notes.
and Gen. G., in his recent market-hOuse speech dep
reosted Tic policy, urged by the Democrats, of
placing bank charters under the supervision and
control Of .hs people. We can very well see why
many of the Oppos ton adhere 10 such a system,

the banks there il reason uRieSs il is that they

The Nashville Banner says:
alt is a fact that the Tennessee Democracy are
wagng war of determination against the banking
system of the State and desire TO replace it with

On the other hand the Nashville Patriot says:
"The resolution respecting she currency ques-
ton, adopted by the Democratic State Convention
on Thursday amounts 10 clear enaneiatiOn in favor

And still on the other hand, the Opposition says:

RoaERsvILLE, July 25, 1859.


MEssRs. EDITORS: Col. NsFHER1AxD and Gov
HARRIS addressed large and attentive audience at
this place to-day. Gov. HARRIS led off in speech
of oae hour and half, in which he exceeded the
expectations of his friends. II arragnei Colonel
NErHERLAND before a jury of his constituents for
his class legislation against the poor AID honest
laborer and in favor of the wealthy, whose fac
carriages, and whose UNDERSTANDING capital he would
exempt from taxation, while he would deprive the
poor and unfortunate labOrer of the implements of
industry, which are mis- only means to support his
wife and children, and to pay his honest debts.
Col NETHERLAND certainly deserves great credit
for the genius he displayed in lodging the real
issues in the canvass, and for his abundant and
amusing fund of anecdotes.
shall not attempt to give you the particulars of
the discussion, but suffice it to say that every thing
passed of quietly, considering tn, large consourse
of people, and the great excitement manifested by
the sovereigns Of the land. The Democracy of
Hawkins are fully aroused, and will do their whole
duty, and 1 have no doubt but what HARRIs's ma
ority will be larger than it two years ago, not
Withstanding Col. NETaERLAND is a citizen of our
county. A DEMOCRAT.

A Forked Tongue!

The Nashville Banner, one of the organs of the
Opposition, declares that
"The Tennessee Democracy are waging a war of
determination against the banking system Of the
State, and desire TO replace it With hard money
currency"
This is to be read in the toIcnS
The campaign paper called the Opposition, AID in
tended to circulate the country, declares, on the
contrary
60 That opposition TO banks has never been a
tenet in the creed of the Democratic party; but that
on the contrary, the Democratic party has ever
cherished and sustained the system of convertible
paper currency; ami, uadeniabis evidence of that
fact, you point to Virginia, to South Carolina, to
Alabama, and to other iLfexibly Democratic States,
which have always, from their origin, had banks,
and dealt encOursgingly and literally by them D
See the benefit of fOrked tongue, which can
talk two ways! Are the people of Tennessee to be
bambOozled by this double-tOngued instruments?
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1859-07-29

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WANr.-Democrats are
pledged TO exact security from those who Issue bank
notes that those notes will be redeemed.
WHAT THE OPPOSITION Wharf.-The Opposition
are organized to oppose the Democrats in their de-
termination to maintain the conyertibiity of bank
issues. These are the points.
Note the fact, reader. The Democratic platform
pledges the party to sound aud convertible cur
renoy. The Opposition propose to do nothing but
oppose the Democracy.

1t is fact that the Buchanan Administration

1t is fact that the Tennessee Democracy are

system of the State. and desire replace il with 9
hard money currency.
There is not the slightest justification for the first
of these statements There has been no such re-
fusal. On the contrary, the Administration has
publicly and officially declared that it would protect
naturalzed citizens and that the rights and duties
of nauralized citizens in foreign countries the
same as those Of natve-born citizens.
Equally unfoJn led is the declaration contained
in the second paragraph. The Democracy of Ten
nesses desire 10 reform the notorious evils of the
banking system AMI to guard against failures,
pensions, and frauds. This is not to exterminste
