On the 14th, while the Republican meeting
was listening to Mr.. Crows speech, an at
tempt was made by bonfire and rowdyism
to disturb and break it up. A portion Of the
proceedings of the riotous outsiders was the
burning of Mrs. Saoisshelns IN etigy! Noble
Mr.. LOWRY Brave and.gallant General.
But we will let Mrs. Swisshelm tell the
story in her own language:
BURNING US INEFFIGY.-During Mr.. Grows
speech our moccasin friends built great bon
fire in front of the Hall, and had us dressed IN
e6iqu to be burned. They danced and yelled,
and beat drums, and shrieked, and shouted,
and swore, and had comfortable time gen.
orally; but we had not past the au-to-de-fee
when the meeting adjourned and we have
not heard this morning, whether we were
burned or laid aside for another time.
This is about the last act in the great Low
nv regime, under which men who had incurred
the wrath of eve big Indian" were mObbed
and lynCneu as COOlly do d ndu uoS Woolu
have been shot; and under which Judge
Goodrich was Kissed down here in the fall Of
~, and refused the right of reply to gross
personal insult.
The great Winnebago must have changed
his plan of getting rid of us, for the origina
programme was to drown us, or duck US un
til we would consent to leave, as he did the
man who settled on some part of the many
thousand acres he claims the right to pre-
empt. But the moccasin Chief does us quite
too much honor thus to make us the repre-
sentative of that advacing tide of civilization
, which is fast driving him to the head of Sal
> River. At late meeting in Wilson'S Hall
Hays, of the Land Office made US the text o
his profound harangue and it is well enough
that the moccasln clique should thus fight un
f der their true colors. They are the repre-
sentatives of the woman whipping, baby steal
Z ing shivalry of the South. The one great oh
ject of their party is to extend and perpetual
: the institution of woman whipping, and 1t
all right that woman should, to them, req
d resent the force with which they have to cor
|. tend. Mobbing women and burning them
effigy is suitable employment for the Amer
can Democrats, and we like to see them site
d to their trade.

s. Have You Heard the News from
Maine 2,'

The election in Maine, on Monday, 18th,
for Governor and members Of the Legisla-
ture, resulted in the complete success of the
Republican ticket, and the returns thus far
indicate largely increased Republican major
ity in the State No doubt this and the late
election in Vermont will be highly consoling
to our Democratic friends who so persistent
ly assert that the Republican Party is on the
eve of dissolution.

We have on our files an interesting COM

St. Paul, one of our French citizens, formerly
Democratic member of the Legislature from

decidedly renounces Democracy and all fur

But Mr.. Lemay is not alone in his renun-

The Winona Republican,, OF the 14th,
comes to us with the following important ar
ticle-important as announcing the fact that
Mr.. Fladeland, Democratic member of the
first State Legislature, and leader of the Nor,
wegian voters of Fillmore County, had aban-
doned the Democratic Party and joined the
Republicans. Here is the article:
DEMOCRACY VS.. FOREIGNERS. On last
Tuesday we received call from Hon. T. e
Fladeland, an intelligent and influential Nor
wegian gentleman of Fillmore County, WIFI
was two years ago elected to the State Legis
lature upon the Democratic ticket from tina
County. :.
Mr.. f. informed us that so unblushingl,.
fraudulent and INSCRIPTIONS have the acts g
the Democratic leaders in Fillmore become
that he can no longer consistently act will
the party, and he has therefore felt it to b
his duty to abandon it.
The Democracy, he says, wish all their pre-
: LESSONS of regard for the citizens Of forelg
birth, give him protection, and treat him wit
respect, only so long as he remains their obi
dent, humble servant.
So long as he votes in obedience to the
e behests, all is right; but should he attemI
q to exercise his own Judgment in political

An Old Line WING.

The Montgomery (Ala.) AaI publishes a
letter from an old line Wing from which the
following is an extract:
How many of US Wings when our great
leaders had gone to their graves and left our
party distracted and powrrless when the
great bug-bear, Fremont and Rppuhlicanism,
was held up to our view and we were asked
to choose between Buchanan. Union and
slavery" and Republicanism and traitor :
grave-how many of MS, say. were cajoled
into the support of the Democratic leader,
and indirectly into the acknowledgment OF
Democratic honesty? We were then the
GLORIOUS Old. Line Wings ''-.'memhers of the
Democratic party" - men who regarded
honesty of principle above party succrsS or
aggrandizemcnt.n With our aid and by that
aid alone were the Democratic lenders success

the Democracy, and Fremont and Repubi-
canism were vanquished How we have
been duped-how the Administration, elected
by ~. has met the anticip ,tiun of its friends.
we refer you to Democratic moutb-pieces.
We have satisfied the wishes of those Demo-
cratic cOrmorants, however. We have, as
their.iools, carried out their plans. and now
th,y have no further use for Us. Ave! more
than that, we are denounced as herrtics-our
principles are .'hcreSies noxious aud fatal to
Southern progress and we are a. untrust-
worthy as Republicans . themselves. This
is no more than could have been expected
from a party that has been held together thus
long, bv 1.-The cohesive power ofpublic piund-
or whose unconstitutional aud anarclical
acts, and eXtravagant expenditures. have
brought the country to the verge of dshoaor
and repudaiion.

The Legislative Ticket.

The Davidson County Convention, which
met on Saturday, nominated ticket for the
Legislature, which will not only prove ac-
ccptable, but excite the just pride of the citi-
gems generally. The proceedings were
characterized by great harmony and unanimi-
ty, and seemed to be actuated by desire to
secure the service, of men of the first order of
talent How they succeeded is well known.
Mr.. TRIMBIE, the nominee for the Senate,
has large experience as legislator, besides
being one of the best jurists and most clear
headed thinkers and reasOners in the State
Mr. EWING is generally known throughout
the State as a gentleman of great ability, of
the highest attainments, and legislator of
much experience in the State and national
Legislatures. He is not at present in the
city, and it is not yet known whether he will
accept the nomination. However averse he
assume the position, the Call assumes the
character Of demand by The united voice OF
very large majority of his fellow-citZens, as
it is the unanimous voice of his party; and
we cannot see how he can avoid an affirmative
rspOnse.
Mr.. WuITE is a gentleman of sterling
qualities throughout. He has been so long a
citizan of our county, and so well and so
IA oral l. known that it is unnecessary to say
another word Of him.
We nail the full ticket to our masthead this
morning, and say to all other counties in the
sate to follow the example of Davidson, and
they need not fear the result.

Tho Tennessee Democracy and the
CURRENCY.

The Memphis Avalanche. a Democratic hard
money organ, although not pleased with the
resolutions upon the currency question"
of the late Democratic State Convention,
says its ofjectioa ''goes more to the manner
than to the sa0ter-more to the structure than
to the substance of these resolutions" which,
as the Avalanche CONSTITUTES them, "look to the
ultimate abolition of all paper money and
the establishment, instead, of gold and silver
as the only legitimate currency in Tennessee"
While thus constituting the resolutions, the
AUaldnche is compelled to admit that 1.-THE
language" in which they are expressed, sis
too circumlocutory and their meaning too
indirect tn suit its plain, straightforward,
honest notions"
In the opinion however of the Avalanche,
"an effcctual barrier TO the establishment OF
any more banking Institutions is raised by
the sixth resolution of the platform which
provides 'that it is essential to the welfare of
the State, that in all charters Of incorporation
granted by the Legislature, the power should
be reserved in all cases to change, modify or
abolish these private and privileged incorpO-
ratious as the public good shall demand
This resolution. coupled with the strict con-
structiOn declaration of the first resolution in
the platform, the Acalanche says, broadly
commits the Democratic party of Tennessee
against banks aud paper money, and makes
it it's bouuden duty to labor for their earliest
possible abolition
The other Democratic organ Of Memphis,
the AppeII which is opposed to the hard
money policy. understands the platform diff
as ''pledging the party to the establishment OF
of sound convertible [paperl currency"
Here are Two of the leading Democratic
organs of the State putting widely different
interpretations upon the party platform the
one constituting it, as "broadly committing
the party against banks and paper money!
and making it the 'bounden drty" of the
party "tO labor for the earliest possible
abolition" Of all banks, while the other or
gan CONSTITUTES it as ''pledging the party to the
establishment of sound convertible [paper]
currency" Which of these conflicting in
corporations is the true and proper onci
Shall the people understand the Democratic
party as pledged to the earliest possible es-
Enlistment of an exclusively metallic cur
rency, or TO a sound convertible paper cur
rency? Is party worthy of support whose
leaders thus seek to mislead and deceive the
people by putting forth platform susceptl-
BILE of conflicting interpretations by its own
organs, and which, therefore, must be pre-
sumed to have been framed p,nPOseLy to mis-
lead and deceive the public, and that on a
subject of such vital Importance as the cur
rency?

For ourselves, we must needs confess, that
we sometimes weary in well doing" The

irksome: we weary of the harness, the shackles,

an Utopia, where people don't have to get mp

three meals per dicm--and can't be compelled
by any circumstances 10 go to bed at
night-unless they want to. In moments like
these, we think that there was 2 od deal OF
reason in the little girl who sat down in the
midst of her morning toilette, and took
hearty cry because she would be obliged to he

But-we started out tosay something about
the aforesaid Magazines; and what we meant
to say was, that however We poor mortais

sometimes come out behindhand, such was
never the case with the entcrprising and
punctual publishers of said periodicals. They
always "come to time" and so do their pub
LEGATIONS. The Reviews are as regular in
their succession as the seasons themselves,
while the noble Eclectic comes like full

Preparing for Secession.

Leading Democratic organs at the South

of the people for disuniOn, The leading or
gan of the Mississippi Democracy, the Mtss's-

that event, upon the State Legislature, 1t
says, will fall the duty of ''adopting such
measures as will place the State in an attI-
tude of defence. and prepare her for resum-
ing the powers delegated to the Federal Gov
eminent upon the conditions prescribed in the
