The Opposition.

The Baltimore Patriot, calm-thinking
conservative paper, expresses itself thus
of the duty Of The oppositionisthe next
Presidential election, sefg
1f the Opposition party dcsires to elect
their Presidont<h 1S60--if the great ma
jority Of. the country wish TO end the
rule of the present unworthy, ufi-Ameri-
can interests, and given over to mere
opularity-hunting at the South, and Of
fice-seeking everywhere--thc Opposition
party will have to rNirE. They will
have to AGREE upon some MAN. Let plat
forms go. Every one knows what they
are worth. Each citizen has been dis
gusted in learning how faI they may be
trusted and relied on. 1t is clear that if
the country chooses some national con-
sentative American man can be elected
by the people. Shall we have such an
one? Shall we put up and vote for one
who can be advocated and voted for i'll
each and every State of this Union? Or
shall we repeat the miserable farce of the
last Presidential election? 1t makes no
difference whether we are agreed on
every detail or not Does it make DIFF
ference to the bundle of factions which
agree on one thing--to call themselves
united the Democracy" Does it make
any real difference to them that their
composite element are as wide asunder
as the poles, upon this very question of
Slavery?

Banner, as he styles himself. With the
aid of pack of hounds he had succeed
cd in running down the last one of his
delinquent subscribers, and when we left

the Ducktown express, and singing
Farewell vain world I'm going home"
Speaking of Polk county, reminds us
that the Benton hotel, kept by John

rious inconvenience in making change
The one dollar gold piece is a humbug-
we saw man day or two ago, in the
democratic county of Polk, trying to swap
some of them for the emissions Of the
Dalton Bank. The congregatcd wisdom
of the State made mistake in prohibit
ing the Bank of Tennessee from issuing
small bills, and the people will find it out
before long.

Hon. John Bell.

Some of the Southern democratic pa
pers charge that John Bell, in one of his
recent speeches, spoke disrespectfully of
the Black Republicans. What if he did!
1t don't need explanation. If any be-
ieve that the Southern opposition intend
TO affiliate with the woolly-heads in 1860,
they believe a lie. The Southern opposi-
ton will support Southern mar and a
stakeholder. What will the democracy
dot Run another Northern man with
Southern principles?"
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1859-09-23
The South,

If the democratic prints which mani
fest 30 much solicitude about the rights
of the South, really believe those rights
will be imperillcd in the approaching
Presidential contest, why don't they cease
blubbering and go to advocating South
ern man-one whose feelings and inter-
csts are identified with the South-for
the Presidency. They are eternally harp
ing on Southcr7, wrongs, and just as eter
nally favoring the selection of Northern
man for the Presidency.

ing of that gentlemen, however-he is at
this time the most prominent contestant
for the Charleston Nomination. large

Georgia.

Hon. Robert Toombs is canvassing the
State for the benefit of the Democracy.
He was once blatant wing, and helped
to destroy that organization. Subsequent
ly he declared in public speech that he
intended to labor for dissolution of the
Union, and from his present party asso-
Citations, he evidently thinks that end
may be most easily attained through the
instrumentality of the Democracy.

A New DoDGE.-LooK OUT FOR THE Mon
KEY.-There is suspicious individual,
"furriner," going around town, carrying
a string, to the end of which is attached
a dirty, thieving little monkey. Wher-
ever this individual spies bedroom or
parlor window open. he stops and listens,
and if he is satisfied that there is no one
present in the rooms he sends Mr.. Mon
key creeping slyly up the front of the
house into the open window. Now the
man-monkey on the sidewalk, having
hold of the other end of the string is
strongly suspected Of having communica-
ted his own, thieving propensities to the
little monkey. and has educated him to
fasten on to little yaluables, such as
bracelets, breast-pins, fnger-rings or loose
change, which his monkey-ship may find
laying on the toilet or center tables

election, has, at last determined to con-
test the election of Hon. Emerson Eth

Just about what might be expected
We have seldom met with democratic
politician who could be satisfied with a
popular verdict when recorded against
him or his party. They believe in the de-
mocratio doctrine that msjorities should
rule as long as It works TO their advan-
tage, but let verdict be recorded against
them, and they at once fall to work to de-
feat the popular will. s.t'

Az IMPORTANT DECISION. Supreme
Court of Alabama has recently decided
that the law by which it was provided
that no liquor should bessold within five
miles of the town of Greensboro, where
the Southern University is located, is con-
stitutional. This settles the question:
The.liquor shops have all been closed, and
The door-knobs hung in Grape. This de-
cision frees the town from great nui-
sance for five miles; taking them into the
open prairie, or into the midst of planta-
tions, whose owners do not wish any
dram-shops to corrunt their ncoroes.
