Free Negro Votes.

Gov. Harris, in the debate, last week,
quoted the declaration of John Minor Bolts,
that if there were a State inhabited by free
negroes, who were constitutiOnally entitled
to vote, we would be glad to have them vote
for the candidate of his party. The Cover
nor quoted this with an air of offended patr-
otism which told his hearers that Bolts had
basely surrendered all the rights of the South.
This is a discovery that reflects infinite credit
upon the ingenuity OF the present Executive
of Tennessee, and brings out his candor and
fairness in bold reliei-suppOsing that it
happened to occur to him that free negroes
used to vote in thisSIate. We have seen
them, in this town, walk up to the polls, by
more than that, deposit their votes for the
Hon. Cave johnson. Was there any fuss
made about it then by the democrats of this
State? None that we ever heard of. Every
such vote was thankfully received and duly
counted; and what is more, was worth as
much, numerically. as that of the very be-
white lOcofoco. But they didn't vote for
John Minor Bolts, and it is the apprehension
that they might do so now, which causes the
tempest in a teapot that disturbs the
equanimity o. Gov. Harris, and drags from
him. evidently against his will. the cry of
abolitionism. 1t is little business you are
engaged. Governor, when you endeayoI to
distort the remark OF Mr.. Bolts into hostility
to the South, and we have been taught that
you have too much magnanimty to stOop so
low. But you are locoiOco, Governor,
and-"nuf sed. "--C2drksUiAe Chronicle.

Meeting OF the National Democratic
Central COMMITTEES.

Judge Smalley, of Vermont. chairman,
and Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham. Of Ohio,
secretary of the Democratic National Execu-
tive Committee, have, by virtue of the power
given to them in the premises concluded to
call meeting of the committee about the 7th
of December next, formal notice of which
will be published in October This commit
tee will fix the time for the assembling of the
Democratic National Convention at Charles
ton, which will probably be toward the close
of April or early in May, 1850.
The members OF the executive committee
are the same as those appointed by the Gin
cinnatti conventions member for each
State. 1t will be recommended to the De-
mocracy of the States admitted into the Union
since 1856 to appoint members of the execu-
tive committee. II may be mentioned that
the meeting of Messrs. Smalley and Vallan-
digham in Washington was accidental; and
they agreed, after brief personal interview,
on what they had proposed to effect by cor
respOndence. This Is the first official move
ment in behalf of the executive committee
since the adjournment of the Cincinnati con-
vention.- Washington States, l2h.

Jns- The special Washington dispatch to
the New York Herald has been telegraphed
to the Cincinnati Gazette, and is as follows:
The President this afternoon received a
dispatch from Mr.. Reed, Commissioner to
China, stating that Mr.. Dallas and himself
had long interview with Lord Malmesbury
Immediately before the sailing of the steamer,
on the subject of European affairs Lord
Malmesbury stated as an absolute fact that
the British government had just learned that
all negotiations were at an eud, and war was
inevitable, and the Ministry confidently be-
lieved that hOstilitics would break out within
twenty four hours.
1t was believed that the Austrians would
drive the Sardinians at once to Genoa taking
possession of Turin without resistance. There
was also positive information that the French
army was nOtin condition to take the field
yet, and Austria was advised of this. Lord
Malmesbury believed that the Austrians
would endeavor to force an engagement forth
with.

The Canvass.

The Huntingdon Patriot of the 18th inst,
says:
Being anxious to hear our Gubernatorial
candidates, as well as to see aud Interchange
greetings with our Wing friends in Henry,
we attended the discussion in Paris on Satur-
day last.
A large crowd Of citizens wereSpresent and
listened with much interest TO the speeches
This being the former home of Gov. Harris,
we anticipated high degree of enthusiasm
among his many friends, personal as well as
political. In this, however, we were disap-
pointed.
Col Netherland made favorable impress
sion upon the large audience, insomuch. that
we were Informed during the evening, of
several persons who have hitherto voted with
the Democracy who will do so no more.
After supper Col. Netherland was called
upon at his room by large concourse of
citizens with a band of music. In answer to
their call the Colonel came forward and adj
dressed them for some fifteen minutes In a
strain of eloquence which we have rarely
heard equaled by any man.
In Henry, Vandyke, an independent
candidate. is worrying Frazier, the Sentineis
nominee, not little. Stranger things than
his election have come to pass. Even the
Democracy are getting tired of the regency.
4
says:
Monday last brought quite a large crowd
90 our town, TO hear the discussion between
Ncthcrland and Harris. Just rs the crowd
assembled at the stand erected for the oc-
easion in the court yard. q shower Of rain
came on which made il necessary to repiar to
the church. As IL was apparent that one
half the crowd could not gain admittance,
quite an exciting race took place to determine
who should get in and secure seats- The
seats were coon filed, and still the eager
crowd pressed in, until the house was hlled
10 its utmost capacity,
An abstract OF the discussion will be found
elsewhere. Both parties pIoiessed TO be
satisfied with the discussion. For our part
we were more than pleased with our candi-
date. His straight forward honest manner
his statesman-lIk= views his forcible and
conclusive arguments, with his rich fund OF
anecdote and humor, cannot fail to convince
such ARE not the deyotees of party. His
method OF disposition Of the slavery agitation
Is, We think, emnently right and just, and
made profound impression. Then, We say ,
