A Word for ourself.

As has been remarked in another place,
we are now ON the eve of one Of the most
important, and perhaps hardest contested
political struggles that has occurred in the
State for years. The leaders Of the party
in power are fully impressed with the
alarm and dissatisfaction that pervadcs
the masses. and are making, and will con-
tinue TO make, strong efarts to allay the
fears and inspirit and rally their followers
Their minute-men are already posted and
equipped, and are laboring to circulate
democratic papers ii1cvery direction, and
the Opposition must make corresponding
efforts to neet them.
This paper is situated a. no other in tho
staeis. AS has been tnuntipgly thrown at
us, itissurrounded byde1iocratic counties
on every side, and in the midstof the hith-
erto best drilled and most iinprsgnnble
demo- Ic osion-- hlcSfinn, Polk Nom
roe, Kh6e Dtsdley, and Meigs. We have
been hsrc moro than ten years in the enc
my's country, engaged in one long weary
ing fight, and if we have had no great
victories to record, our friends have at
least maintained their strength, while in
almost every other portion of the Com
monwealth they have given way before
the fierce onslaughts of their desperate
and reckless opponents.
II is true. our~ business is sufficiently
large TO crafty any ambition or desire OF
ours, and by close attention profitable
enough to meet all ordinary demands up
ON us. But we can lily afford to print and
scatter papers gratuitously, as we have
frequently done. We make no appeal to
party sympathy, or party prejudice, and
want no money won by party filth and
party abuse. As far as our humble sheet
is concerned, we intend to make fair.
square, manly, stand-up fight, and if our
friends think it will conduce TO the end
desired to give it wider and larger cir
culation through the Congressional Dis
trict, we will endeavor to cancel any obi
cations their efforts may impose upon us
by furnishing them the very best paper we
can scare up

The Old Game.

We notice that portion of the demo-
cratic papers are beginning to talk about
"Retrenchment and Reform" 1t is the
old game. That party has been talking
about "Retrenchment and Reform" ever
since 1928, and every year plunging deep
er and deeper into wastelulness and ex-
travagance, and giving the lie to their
professions. Having in few short years
increased the national expenditures from
forty to eighty millions per annum,
created a national debt of fifty millions
bankrupted the treasury, and sent the
government TO the. 1noney-changers to
hagele for funds tomeet its daily wants,
they again raise the shout of ECONOMY
Retrenchmentn But they don't mean
any thing by it. 1t is only the stop
thief cry of the rascal who is making off
with a bundle of stolen goods under
his arm 4rr'r

Externinate the Banks!

This is now the motto of the Democrat.
ic party in Tennessee, or at least ma
jority Of them. The Memphis Avalanche,
of the 9Th inst, thus concludes u leader
Of more than column:
We tell you here upon the threshold OF
the canvass, that the banks-the great
monied aristocracies of the land-will be
arrayed against You in the coming battle,
as they were arrayed against your fathers
in the days of jackson. The evil day OF
which your noble old chieftain gave warm
ing has arrived. Your enemies are on
the war path, and the money power is at
their back. If you would protect your
selves, your party and your principlcs--if
you would not be ruined and defeated,
you must grid on your armor and 60 forth
to the battle, determined to give blow for
blow. and, il needs be, wage war of ex-
termination.

deliberate disregard of the letter of the

there have been authorized violations of

will, | understand, be called upon this

of the Postoiiicc Department, at an early
day of the session. So insecure has the
transmission of private correspondence
become, that one might well think there
was here, as in the palmy days of the
Austrian despotism, a censor of the mails

What Others Think.

The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer has this
complimentary notice of the late Wing
and American Platform, adopted at Nash
Vile:
1t is with much pleasure that we COPY
this explicit declaration of sound prin-
ciples by the Opposition party of Ten
nessee. 1t is just such platform as Ell
Southern mon--all conservative and con-
stitutional men evelywhere-ought now
to stand upon. Whilst deprecating furth-
er attempts to agitate the question of
slavery, it announces distinctly the con-
stitutional doctrine in reference to the
Territories, which alone can maintain the
rights of the South. No Congressional
Intervention and no Squatter Sovereignty!
Let US see ii the Democratic patty of the
South even--with all the boasts of pecu-
liar devotion to Southern rights-will as
clearly announce opposition to the heresv
OF Douglas and Cass. The Tennessee
resolutions also point out the reforms in
the administration of the Government,
now simperatively demanded to preserve
it from hopeless bankruptcy and unparal-
leled corruption. The first step to be Ia
ken III this work Of reform is the removal
OF the Democratic party from power; and
we rejoice in the belief that the Tennessee
Opposition will in August next make q
strong and effective demonstration to-
wards that end.

The Charleston eps up the
fire in favor of the organization
of the Southern democracy as a Southern
Sectional party, discarding oil further az
filiations with the helpless democracy of
the North. Thus, in a late article upon
the subject, our Charleston contemporary
says:-
The democraticp arty exists only in the
South. 1t is no longer national party
Why. shonld we not accept the true state
OF things and act upon them? As "a
party, it is Southern karty, and nothing
else. Why should it not turn its back on
the North and act only for the South
Why should not the South have section

the sectionnl.canddateiof the North?-

plumber and destroy us, and shall we
have no organization foeottfdefense?
Nfhes New York Herald says: "The
late Northern elections will immensely
strengthen this Southern idea that ''the
democratic party exists onlyin the South"
and correspondingly strengthen this
Southern argument in behalf of the re-
duction of the democratic party South to
purely sectional organization, leaving
the scattered fragments of the Northern
democracy to take care Of Themselves
In word, there car-y no longer any
doubt that the 1neSSf 1860, between
the Northern party and the
Southern demd Fly, will be the
most embitterd and disastrous
sectional strugglech~M Me imagined;
unless the proposed third party, fresh from
the people, and devoted to the Union
above all other issues, shall be powerful
enough to effect, first, an armistice, and
secondly, solid peace between the North
and the South. In this view, the tremen-
dous contingencies between union and
disunion may tarn upon the success or
the defeat of the new Union opposition
party in the approaching Virginia cleo

Democratic Meeting i'll Monroe

-SIuSSfdtlS thSStiuS III EiCurOc.
The following paragraph appears in the
Cleveland Banner of last week, as the tail
end of the proceedings of democratic
meeting held in Monroe county, on the
4th day Of April, Ammo Domini, 1859:
"A. j. Vaughan was called upon to adj
dress the meeting and did so, reviewing
the history Of parties and the present as
pect of the Opposition and Democratic
parties, advocating the doctrines of free
trade and Southern rights, announcing
himself to De what is called a sectional
man and a southern democrat, and advo-
eating the doctrine Of an equal south in
the union # possible and out of il if need
be-drawing parallel between the con-
lglomeration, styled the opposition and the
z3emocratie parties, advising all true south
ecn mon to cling to the national demo-
Eefic parties as their only hope, all other
pArties in the north being eng,ilphed in
the fTtid whirlpool of abolitionism, adj
vocating the doctrine of united south,
and that there WAS no political question
in the south but the slavery question, that
any other view OF the matter was simply
ridiculous, but saying if organized that the
democratic party could prevent dissolu-
ton of the union, and that any other par
ty in power would hurl the union into
chaos, and build " southern confud-

" Old Line Wings"

The democratic prints just now are call
ing, in suppliant tones, to the 'Old Line
Wings" to stand firm and not desert the
democratic party. They know that without
the assistance they received from that
source two years ago, lsham G.'s case will
be desperate. The idea that "Old Line
Wings" can be wheedled into such step,
with the democratic flights and shadows"
now before them, is ridiculous. They had
better be looking after the "Old Line De-
mocrats" who are daily deserving all over
the country.

Democracy and the Currency.

lIrOm INC NhsNNiie
This currency business is bad one for
the Democracy. There have been few
Subjects on which they have expended
so muci labor and ingenuity TO 50 little
purpose. Since the division in the ranks
during the last Legislature were manifest
ed, they have shown great deal OF
anxiety to compromise the matter, and to
agree upon some basis of harmony. The
first imposing demonstration TO this end
was made last September by Il meeting
held in this city--the next was in the re-
cent State Convention Of the party. 1t
may serve useful purpose in constituting
the opinions of The party on the subject,
to read the results of the two efforts to-
gethcr. We, therefore, present, them be-
low. We commend them to the perusal
of our democratic Friends, especially to
those who may desire to know how the
party stands on the currency question:
From the Union aud American, Sept. go, 1851
DEMOCRATIC hlEETING.--A respectable
number of intelligent Democrats, from
various portions of the State, assembled
ut the Capitol on yesterday for the pur-
pose of consulting and comparing views
on the subject of currency The meeting
was primary III It's character and only in
tended as consultation of friends with Al
view to the general harmony OF the party.
Dr. Sain'l. Moore, of Hickman, acted as
Chairman of the meeting, and II. j..
Claiborne. of Davilson, as Secretary. We
were biul lN 0tntinaI with tha opoI fool
ing and spirit Of cancellation which per-
vaded the great body of the meeting, and
especially with the well-timed and humo-
rons remarks of our old friend from
Hawkins. After a full and fair compare
son of views the following report was
adopted Us ombodying the sense of ma
joiity of the meeting. 1t is moderate and
conservative in tone and We doubt not
will meet the general acquiescencc Of the
party throughout the State
The Committee have agreed TO the fol-
lowing propositions for the adoption OF
the meeting:
l. That it would be unwse policy to re-
charter amy of the existing Banks.
.. That such reform should be made in
our currency during the existence of the
present Banks us will insure sound cir
culating medium, convertible at all times
into gold and silver.
3. That the several Banks as their re-
spective charters shall expire, should 20
out of existence, and such steps should be
taken. consistently with the public in
tercst, as will secure the liquidation OF
the Bank of Tennessee at the expiration
OF its charter. $. A. SMITH,

STRIKES AMONG LABoRERs.-The work
ing men of the Northern States are strik-
ing for return to wages current before
the panic. Some of them assert that wa
ges were reduced with the express promise
that they should be raised as soon as bust
ness revived, and they claim that they
have waited a reasonable length Of time
since business has resumed its former ac-
tivity.
