The Opposition organs are trying to alarm the
people with the idea that the Democracy intend 10
d stroy the Banks. Well, that panic humhug is the
policy adopted by the wise men of the party for tie
management Of the campaign. Let us see what
these same organs said about the Democratic plat
form before TIE Opposition council had determined
TO make it a hard money document.
The Nashville Patriot ssid:
''The resolution respecting the currency adopted
by the Democratic State Convention on Thursday,
Amounts to clear enuuciaiion in favor Of a ell
regulated banking sysiep. The ''hards Of the par
have beer compelled to knock under to the ''sefts "
The exclusively natalie currency agifat0Ts have had
biz put into their mouths.,'
Gin their pTaiseworthy efforte to provide an efee
tive remedy for all abuses which the existing sys
tenn is subject, the quondam 'hsrds will doubtless
meet with the earnest cooperation Of the 0pposi-
ton party in this State
The Nashville BanEes said: s
s'Not having had an opportunity at this writing to
examine their Platform. we defer mment, except
to say that the sof9 element prevailed in the for
nation of the currency resolution
And again the Banner said in subsequent issue :
' 1t is true, that majority of the exclusive me-
tllic currency men didrottaket The platform quite
philosophicaly as dId Gen GLENS yet while they
lnuttered ard looked unutt6rable things they &C
quiese5G Though possessing the power to make
! a straight-out metallic platform, they had not
/ the courage to WELD it,
Commenting on the currency resolution Of the
Democratic platform, the Opposition the recOg-
nized campaign organ Of its party in this canvass
said
" In its whole tenor and purport, the resolution,
is formal declaration IN fdOor Of ireH regulated
Banking system, and clear uaequiUOeaE repudiatioH
Of the dnt Bank exclusively HetGe project concocted
and promulgated by the regency in September list"
With what consistency then can these organs now
argue that the Democratic platform and policy are
in favor of tAe extinction OF the banks. Their own
candid confessions contradict the assumption They
ought to have consutcdiher political orasIes before
they took any position. Now The idea of getting
up panic is hopeless

We make the following extracts from letter to
one Of the editors, dated
"KKoxv1ELE, July Is.
'Y on will doubtless find in the Register detailed
sketch Of the discussion between the candidates for
Governor here, but still feel like adding a few
words for your own eye.
"GOvernOr HARsis was slightly iudispOsed when
he reached Knoxville, and some of his friends sup
posed that he would scarcely be able to meet his
competitor, with his usual vigOr and power. He
had, however, not spoken FIVE minutes, till we al
saw that Richard was himself again.
"Col. NETHERLAND opened the discussion. He
dwell upon bis aalt and cattle story with evil
dent eef-cOmplaeency. and seemed to consider that
anoserwhelmiog argument against the reelection
of Gov. Harris. He erected toe with Senatorial dig
nifty, the snuff, soap, hair brushes. Ookirgglasses
and all the furnishings Of the American Capitol,
with great essnesiness and pathos But the great
effort of his eOquenOe and logic was reserved for
the last and mastery part of his able argument,
where She E4tt Tennessee Mother drove her child
rem to the braoch, and would not allow them TO
wash in the tin-pau, costing at that early time in
the commerce of this end Of the State, about so
centsthst fifty cents pan being exclusively for the
use of the Minister This irresistible appeal to the
people, Why they should elect him over HARRIS,
was listened TO and feebly applsuded by the boys;
but the whole crowd seemed eager t, hear and wait
ed patiently for the speech Of HARRIS. The audi
enoe paid compliment to their OWE intelligence
aud intellectual capacity, by their fixed aud ur-
wearied attention to ons Of the most able and pow
erful defences have ever heard Of the principles
and policy Of the Democratic party. This argu-
ment was impregnable and convincing. On the
currency question especially, it was lucid, unsn-
swerable and satisfactory to ALL Such is the ad-
mission of many of the Opposition, and 1 know
that they left the ground dissatisfied with their
leader, and well pleased with HARRIS. NETaERANp
cannot get HATToS's vote. Indeed he is much In
ferior to him as a tsetieian and as an orator.
democracy is a unit for HARRIS and RAMSEY
enthusiastic, determined and active. Accounts from
| HAYNES and SMITH are all We can wish. Be-
lieve nothing you hear of gains to the Opposition
there is nothing of it. The gains are all the other
way.
"Bsis were declined yesterday On the Governors
old majority. He will exceed it.
"All we need is for the Democrats TO attend md
vote. We can beat, but let US make our majority
as large possible isdus to our principles, cur
party, our candidates, and ourselves. N c."
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1859-07-20
Getting I'D Panic.

The Opposition orators and organs have very
cOoy set themselves at work to get up panic with
regard to the currency. They have abandoned the
real issues in the canvass and now circulating
documents through the State to convince the people
that if the Democracy succeed they will wage war
of determination against Banks and paper money.
These statements are only made to alarm the igno-
rant Every intelligent politician in the Sste under
stands the position of the Democratic party on the
currency question. 1t is position which is i'm
pregnabe as the rock of Gibraltar, and our oppo-
nents are afraid TO assail it.
The Democracy of Tennessee propose TO REFORM
OUR BANKING SYSTEM NOT DESTROY IT.
Such is the position of Gov. HARRIS and such
the policy set forth in our platform. The last De-
mooratc Legislature inaugurated the policy which
we propose to pursue. The Democracy had entire
control of that body and how did they exercise their
power? Did they exterminate the Banks? Did
they attempt to do than to restore the curren
cy of the State to a sound safe reliable condition?
This much they have messurably accomplished, al
though the Opposition resisted their efforts at every
step.
The Opposition members of that Legislature pre-
dicted just they doing, that the measures
proposed by the Democracy would crush the Banks
and ruin the country. They passed, however, and
the result has demonstrated the correctness Of the
policy which was adopted. To that policy OF safe,
sound and well regulated system of Banks subject
to the control and supervision of the Legislature
the Democratic party still adhere. 1t is the policy
which Gov. HARRIS advocates. 1t is the policy an
nounced in our platform.

Tine First COngresslOnal District.

JOHNSON COUNTY, July Is.
Messrs. EDIToRs: Our candidates for Congress
spoke in TaylOrsvile en- Monday last, and were
itened to by very large and attentive audience.
Col. HAYNES led off in address of some two hours
Col. HAYNES appealed to the honor and pride Of
Tennesseans to know if they would be led through
dozen different changes in many years by the
demsgOgues that attempted to change to everything
they thought would be pOpulsr. Would they have
their noses bent to the right this year. and next
year bend them over to the left? He showed where
the success Of the Opposition was tending how The
coalition was forming and almost formed between
the Opposition and Black Republicans He showed
how inconsistent it is for the Southern people to
support the Opposition when it is indirectly placing
the Black Republicans in power.
Col NELSON followed him and did q good bust
ness to keep his head above the tide although it is
one Of the most notorious Know Nothing counties
in the State; but the die was cast, and NELSON is
beaten in the minds of the people.
Col HAYNES, the champion Of East Tennessee
replied for the space of half an hour in tones Of
elequence that fell like the knell of death on the
ears of the Opposition.
We are up and doing in this part of the country,
and will roll up such majority for HAYNES as has
never before been given in this district. From
the best sources can learn, HAYNES will make
gain in this county of 200, at least.
HARRIS will fully sustain himself in this part of
the State. The Banking system proposed By Col
NErHLRLASD will not take at all here
McCLELLAND viii be elected think, and in The
election for Representative we have no candidate
to vote for, snd feel quite easy in that election
| WTits this that you m y know that we are not
asleep here, and that expect to give Z" The Peo-
pie Of Tennessee opposed to the Democratic Party" one
Of the worst beanngs people got a. the polls
This is long and ugly name fo- a party, but
see they call themselves by it in their platform.

The Candidates at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Has Got Hin, Sure!

We have heard from the discussion between Me-
NEEs aud QUARLEs at Goodletsville, yesterday,
through candid men who were present. There can
be no question thai the triumph of MENEEs was
crushing to his opponent, and that his opponent
felt it. good judge says to US that be never saw
a more splendid victory on the stump than MENEEs
obtained
MEYEEs Will be elected. He has his opponent
beyond all question Democrats of Davidson be
up and doing, SO that you may have the right to
shout over the glorious victory which awaits your
efforts

II is entirely useless for Democratic candidates
to extenGany cOurtesies to their competitors. Such
couIteses are neither Acknowledged appreciated,
Dr. MESEEs has twice retired from the canvass and
postponed his appointments as an accommodation
to Cen QUARLEs. He refused to address the DEM
Ocratic Club in this city. though present and called
upon to do so, en- the ground hist Gen. QUARLEs
would not have opportunity TO reply. NOtwith-
standing the generosity ef this conduct the part
of Or. MESEEs, be is not, L seems, to expect even
fair dealing in return. At the speaking on Broad
street Monday night, it was announced that Gen.
QUARLEs would address the NErHERLAuD Club in
this city on Thursday night, Gen. QUARLEs being
present at the time of the announcement
Astonished at this departure from sH the rules
Of honorable discussion, DIR. MENEEs Immediately
sought Gen. QuARLEs, aud asked Of him division
Of time. Gen. QUARLTs withheld his consent to
this proposition, hepIed of consulting his friends
and when Dr. MEEEEs again called on yesterday
morning for bis definite reply, he found that Gen.
QUARLRs had left the city
Subsequently on application being made to one
Of General QUARLEs friends, member of the Club
which proposed addressing decision of the ques-
ton postponed until consultation could be kad
loith Gen. QUARLEs
Finding that this course Of prOerastinstiOn would
be pursued until there was time left for DIR. Me-
NEEs to make appointment, it has been deter
mined to hold grand Democratic Rally on Broad
street, Thursday night next, for the purpose of
giving him an opportunity of addressing his fellow
citizens of Nashville.
We hope the people of Nashville will give him q
rOusing crowd. We hope they will msnifest their
sense of the injustice he has experienced by ex-
tending to him the courtesy which has been refused
By his competitor.
